Obama’s failures on display with Benghazi | Letter
In response to last week’s letter by Ty Welch regarding presidential administration lying about Benghazi, this is just another example of the leadership we are getting from the White House.
Remember Nov. 7, 2009 in Fort Hood, Texas? An army major of Arab descent went on a rampage, killing 12 fellow soldiers and wounding 31 more.
Voters expressed their wishes in Nov. election | Letters
Elections are supposed to have consequences.
Last year, President Obama, Gov. Jay Inslee and the Democrats put forward a vision of an America stating “we are all in this together,” we all pay our fair share, and we create jobs and grow the economy by investing in things like education, the working class and infrastructure.
Don’t need window clings to ID gays | Letter
Editor,
What happened to the idea that people are free to choose who they are?
Putting window clings on businesses to let gays/lesbians know where they are welcome to shop is the most juvenile and ridiculous thing I have ever heard.
‘Homos’ belong in the closet, ladies at home | Letter
Editor,
Given the recent nasty and uncalled for attacks in our local liberal/communist media on our gallant U.S. Navy, I just had to comment. As a retired Navy chief I’ve seen my share of anti-American crap in Whidbey newspapers, but the latest attacks on “the sound of freedom” take the cake.
Playhouse helps escape daily grind | Letter
Editor,
My wife and I had a recent opportunity to attend Midsummer Night’s Dream at the Whidbey Playhouse.
The play is directed by Stephen James Anderson and produced by Allenda Jenkins, and I can’t say enough about the event.
OLF noise abuses Central Whidbey | Letter
Editor,

Pray privately, but please leave religion out of public forums | Letter
Editor,
Pastor Lawler should feel perfectly free to pray privately or in his church to whatever imaginary deity he adores.
He has no right, however, to prosthelytize his faith to a captive audience gathered for the secular business of running the city’s government.
The decision to sue City of Oak Harbor is not Cladoosby’s alone | Letter
The decision to sue City of Oak Harbor is not Cladoosby’s alone
Editor,
Regarding the letter by Rollanda Sitko in the Whidbey News-Times on May 1 entitled “Can’t afford to support tribal casino suing city,” the City of Oak Harbor was warned by archaeologists that there is a burial ground in the area of Pioneer Way.
You can’t expect the tribe to know where all their ancestors are buried.
Support military, join Navy League | Letter
Editor;
I thank Mr. Van Voorst for his letter asking (for) more boisterous support of Whidbey Island Naval Air Station.
There was one point that Mr. Van Voorst raised that I feel needs empathizing, namely the NAS Whidbey encroachers’ desire to close NAS Whidbey Island.
Predicts P8-As will displace Growlers | Letter
Editor,
Personal projection — The EA-18G Growlers will be reassigned to Lemoore Naval Air Station and Oceana Naval Air Station once the P8s begin arriving.
Clings would help target spending | Letter
Editor,
In reference to the idea that businesses should be able to refuse service to whomever they choose, I’m sorry to say I agree.
They should be able to pick to whom they offer their services.
