EDITORIAL: John Koskinen’s impeachment overdue

Honesty and loyalty are both virtues, but politics can put them at odds. The Internal Revenue Service commissioner has sacrificed honesty for loyalty, and congressional Republicans say he lied to hide the facts behind the IRS targeting of Tea Party groups, all to help Democrats re-elect President Obama in 2012.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: ‘Progressives’ ignore science

Not content with redefining marriage for 4 percent of the population via five black-robed tyrants, the Obama-led radical left now seeks to redefine gender itself via executive fiat — for 0.3 percent of the nation.

Rolling Thunder: At least 1,620 Vietnam-era service members still sought

Since it was formed in 1970, the National League of POW/MIA Families has sought three things: the return of all POWs, the fullest possible accounting for those still missing and the repatriation of all recoverable remains of those who died serving the United States during the Vietnam War.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Justice absent in Freddie Gray case

What was the real cause of Freddie Gray's spinal cord injury? Every article but one that I have read about Freddie Gray's death states that Mr. Gray's spinal cord injury occurred in police custody in the back of a police van. This is repeated so often that it is accepted as true.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Wanted: True American leader

For some time I have been pointing out to everyone the perilous road our nation is traveling. It is one that has led us to the very situation we are facing now: the open rise of extremism at home and the presence of a literal minefield abroad.

EDITORIAL: Removing Oriental, Negro from U.S. code

Men and women (and mostly men) have always had trouble with what to call each other. Juliet in her frustration at the prospect of separation from Romeo asked the question, what's in a name? "That which we call a rose," she observed, "by any other word would smell as sweet."

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Ethanol a win-win

Your editorial, "When corn rules the road," (Web, May 22) overflows with misinformation propagated by oil companies that just want to keep Americans hooked on petroleum, with no regard for the environmental, energy-related or economic consequences of that addiction. A little independent research might have benefited your readers.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Muzzling attempt unconstitutional

Robert Knight rightly condemns the harassment of dissenters by left-wing attorneys general ("The dawn of totalitolerance," Web, May 22). As he notes, Virgin Islands Attorney General Claude Walker sent an incredibly burdensome subpoena to my employer, the Competitive Enterprise Institute, demanding "access to CEI's donor lists."

EDITORIAL: Mullah’s dare Obama to anything about Iran’s missiles

Barack Obama is entitled to wonder why, after all he has done to keep their nuclear-weapons research intact and thriving, the mullahs in Iran are being so mean to him. Only the naive and foolish expect gratitude in politics, domestic or foreign, but still.

EDITORIAL: Bilking with Obamacare

Obamacare has been unpopular from the time it became law. Now President Obama's health-care scam has gone rogue, and maybe illegal. That's the conclusion of analysts both inside and outside of the federal government. They say the Obama administration is diverting taxpayer funds to save the president's scheme from collapse, if only until after he leaves office.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Abusing a right to privacy in the restroom

The first 10 amendments of U.S. Constitution codify rights of individual Americans. Those amendments (collectively referred to as the Bill of Rights) do not mention an explicit right to privacy. Nevertheless, the U.S. Supreme Court rationalized such a right and used it to justify it's controversial 1973 decision about abortion (Roe v. Wade).

EDITORIAL: The shrinking American dream

The 21st century has not been kind to the American dream. The dream that brought millions of "the tired, the poor, the huddled masses yearning to breathe free" to America rests on the idea that each generation will have it better than the one before it.

EDITORIAL: Justice and good sense in Baltimore

The policeman on trial for his role in the arrest of Freddie Gray in Baltimore was acquitted Monday and the city did not explode. Much of the credit for keeping the peace goes to the Gray family. Billy Murphy, the family lawyer, said after the verdict that "I don't think anybody should be upset with this verdict." He praised the judge, who like Freddie Gray, is black, for deciding on the facts and not the public pressure coming from both sides.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Socialism leeches off capitalists

While "Why millennials are warming to socialism" (Web, May 17) is an excellent treatise on how we reached our current predicament, I take exception to part of the solution author Jay Richards offers. Elimination of the word "capitalism" throws out the whole point of the necessity to accumulate capital as a fundamental part of free enterprise.
