Duane K McCallister serves as editor with John Pea on the editorial page and Barry Bridges contributing as editorial staff in a midwestern paper. The trio shapes opinion content and opinion section direction.
The piece argues that readers gain freedom by understanding liberty and controlling their own outputs. It asserts equal rights endowed by a Creator, not government, to life and property, stressing that freedom equals self-control for individuals and society.
A columnist quips that legislating taste is impossible and implies many would be jailed if taste could be criminalized. The remark frames political freedom as a defense against constrained personal preferences and public morality.
The Gazette requests letters include writer’s signature address and daytime phone, limit 300 words, may be edited for accuracy and length, and allow longer pieces for My Turn. One letter per month, no poetry or consumer complaints, submit in person, by mail, fax, or email to Gastonia office.
The Gazette selects one Feedback letter or My Turn column each month for the Readers' Voice award. Winners become eligible for a yearly award in July. Submissions should be concise well written and avoid personal attacks while delivering a reasonable message.
The piece critiques media and think tanks on global warming, citing NRC panelists and MIT professor Lindzen. It notes alleged media exaggeration, outlines four data sets on temperature trends, and includes critical quotes from Schneider, Wirth, Singer, Calder, Wallen, Erlich, and Williams, urging caution in climate policy debates.
A flood of letters to The Gazette voices mixed outrage and support over a high profile squirrel killer case in Gastonia. One writer praises police work while another laments tax rises and county overreach amid school funding bonds. A teacher criticizes late night shopping sprees at Wal Mart affecting student learning.
The White House released a report criticizing perceived bias against religious groups in federal grants for charitable and social programs. It questions constitutionally allowed ties between church and state and warns the Bush faith based initiative could lead to more circumventing of rules, increased bureaucracy, and state dependency.
The Calloways admitted stealing money from a prior heist and laundering it to start anew in Colorado. The piece argues the real takeaway is respect for property rights and the social contract, noting that violations harm liberty and burden society beyond the immediate crime.
