LETTER TO THE EDITOR: The price of liberty is vigilance

EDITORIAL: Now, to lead

Midterm elections are about incumbent presidents even when they aren't on the ballot.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Disabled vets not ‘milking’ system

I take issue with the characterization of severely disabled veterans (those with disability ratings of more than 50 percent) as somehow milking the system for federal disability payments ("Veterans caught triple-dipping on benefits," Web, Oct. 30).

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Paul’s critique of GOP won’t win black votes

Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, like many other Republicans, would like to encourage more blacks to support Republican candidates or officeholders at all levels. He faults the "Republican brand," implying that the black community would be much more supportive of Republican candidates if only they would interact more with that community.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Separation of all Islamic religion and state

It's all over now but the counting and the shouting. This has been a remarkable midterm election that became more the referendum on a presidency than usual.
