LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Criticism of Obama no longer ‘racist’?

It was a moment of national pride when America proved able to look past skin color to elect a black president, although I personally voted against him because of his announced agenda.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: NAACP, appeals to race are outdated, offensive

"Desperate Democrats resort to race-baiting to spur black vote" (Web, Oct. 29) states that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was unaware (despite widespread news coverage in Georgia, Maryland and North Carolina) of a multistate campaign to urge blacks to vote.

EDITORIAL: Obamanomics on the ballot

President Obama says his policies, all of them, are on the ballot Tuesday. Indeed they are, and the one that counts more than any other is the economy.

EDITORIAL: Where is Jerusalem?

The U.S. Supreme Court is busy with arguments Monday about whether a 12-year-old American boy has the right to have "Israel" listed on his passport as his place of birth.

EDITORIAL: Landrieu gaffe: A liberal commits candor

Sometimes a gaffe, the fancy French word to describe politicians who inadvertently say what they really think, can really hurt. Mary L. Landrieu, struggling to hang on to her seat in the U.S. Senate, delivered a beaut the other day in New Orleans.

EDITORIAL: Obama isn’t to blame for Argentina’s economic woes

President Obama is usually blamed for everything bad that happens to the economy. He's rightly blamed for stifling growth with new taxes and regulations, but only in the United States. It's a bit nutty to think Mr. Obama has time to torpedo the economies of other nations.

EDITORIAL: Why hasn’t Army’s report on Bowe Bergdahl been released?

The Army has apparently completed its investigation of the circumstances surrounding the suspected desertion of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, but no one expects to see the results before Tuesday's elections.

EDITORIAL: Mark Warner’s Halloween mask of moderation

Mark R. Warner is going door to door on Halloween with a nifty disguise. The freshman Democratic senator is wearing the mask of a moderate. It's a trick to get his liberal voting record past Virginians amid the wave of anti-Democratic sentiment sweeping the nation.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Unborn, partially born deserve ‘amnesty,’ too

There is a battle raging across this nation on the issue of amnesty for illegal immigrants.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Lies becoming the new political norm

I've just learned that I will not be allowed to keep either the health care plan or the doctor I had and liked. My new network is smaller, my co-pay is much higher and my premium has gone up more than 200 percent.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Hey, Palestinians: It’s Hamas, stupid

In "Israel and the war of words" (Commentary, Oct. 29), Clifford May gives a detailed example of how the Jewish state is being demonized by American media bias.

EDITORIAL: The Ebola czar goes AWOL

Czars are not usually retiring fellows. They travel with many hangers-on, accompanied by big men with machetes, or at least clubs, to clear the way. Czars are no-nonsense guys who walk with heavy tread.

EDITORIAL: The spreading Obamacare virus

Socialized health care in the United States comes by incrementalism. Obamacare and its exchanges preserve the illusion of a free market for insurance coverage, but we're inching ever closer to the left's dream of "single-payer," a system of one-size-fits-all medical treatment organized by the government.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: No winners in a post-diplomacy world

With the kinds of uncivil, immature and undiplomatic comments coming from our "leaders" who should know better, it is no wonder that America is losing more and more friends daily and gaining enemies by leaps and bounds ("John Boehner jabs Obama: Bush 'would have punched [Putin] in the nose,'" Web, Oct. 28).

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: End of Christianity in Middle East?

While humanitarian help for the beleaguered Christian communities in the Middle East should be high on our list of immediate concerns, the recent history of the region indicates that in a few years most of the nations in it will be Christian-free ("Help desperately needed for Middle East Christians," Web, Oct. 27).

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: NATO’s allegiances are regrettably clear

Turkey best illustrates columnist Bruce Fein's claim that NATO has passed its sell-by date ("Time to withdraw from NATO," Web, Oct. 24).

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Why should U.S. bear the brunt of Ebola?

Why does the United States always have to take responsibility for every major health crisis ("State Department plans to bring foreign Ebola patients to U.S.," Web, Oct. 28)? Why does the United States have to be the world's medical "backstop"?

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Cabs are anachronisms in face of Uber

"Have Uber app, will travel" is essentially how I look at the Uber concept at this point. My experience with the car service in Chicago, San Francisco and Northern Virginia has been so positive I wonder why cab companies are still around ("D.C. Council approves rideshare regulations as taxi drivers protest," Web, Oct. 28).

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Is it treason or just incompetence?

President Obama's bizarre anti-American decisions are not only indifferent to, but hostile to, our founding principles and our identity as Americans. Are these actions deliberate and treasonous or merely ignorant and incompetent?
