LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Don’t repeat the mistakes of 2012

Every day, individuals, groups and organizations provide information on President Obama's destructive policies and the determination of Republicans to win control of the Senate and maintain control of the House.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Ebola ‘czar’ is a lawyer for a reason

When I use the term "Ebola crisis," I am not suggesting Ebola is a health crisis within U.S. borders. Rather, I am referring to the current administration's apparent lying, incompetence and outright disregard for American lives and well-being.

D.C. Council members Muriel Bowser (left) and David A. Catania, and former council member Carol Schwartz, candidates for mayor of the District, took swipes at each other during a debate Wednesday. The three, each hoping to succeed Mayor Vincent C. Gray, will debate again Thursday, in advance of Saturday's start of early voting. (ASSOCIATED PRESS)

EDITORIAL: For D.C. mayor, none of the above

Sitting out an election is not always an act of apathy or civic disengagement. Sometimes it can be the right choice, when the options are as unappetizing, as they are in the nation's capital this year for voters charged with choosing a successor to Mayor Vincent C. Gray.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: American Legion’s contributions innumerable

I have to wonder why the growing footprint of American Legion posts on college campuses throughout the country --- chartered and operated by the newest generation of war veterans --- was not examined more thoroughly in "Younger veterans bypass VFW, American Legion for service, fitness groups" (Web, Oct. 19).

EDITORIAL: Apple and Google restrain the snoops

Obama administration officials seem to think the Constitution gives the government a license to snoop on whomever it pleases, whenever it pleases. The founding document does no such thing, of course, but Congress cannot summon the courage to restrain the executive branch.

FILE- This Aug. 28, 2012, file photo shows Virginia State Delegate Barbara Comstock speaking at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla. No 2014 midterm race in Virginia is drawing more attention than the one pitting Comstock and Democrat John Foust in the 10th Congressional District. It’s a swing district, carried by Barack Obama by 3 points in 2008 and by Republican Mitt Romney by a point in 2012. The race is tight, and Comstock's unique political history as the Capitol Hill staffer in the 1990s, who led much of the opposition research into Bill and Hillary Clinton, is adding even more heat.

EDITORIAL: Barbara Comstock for Congress

Perhaps nowhere else has the Democrats' phony "Republican war on women" narrative boomeranged, and in such force, as in the race for the House seat being vacated by Rep. Frank R. Wolf, the Virginia Republican incumbent.

Health workers wear protective gears before entering the house of a person suspected to have died of Ebola virus in Port loko Community situated on the outskirts of Freetown, Sierra Leone, Tuesday, Oct. 21, 2014. After emerging months ago in eastern Sierra Leone, Ebola is now hitting the western edges of the country where the capital is located with dozens of people falling sick each day, the government said Tuesday. So many people are dying that removing bodies is reportedly a problem. (AP Photo/Michael Duff)

EDITORIAL: A respite from Ebola

The Ebola threat seems to have subsided, and that's cause for cautious relief. The operative word is "seems," but three weeks have passed since an unemployed Liberian man flew into the United States and infected two health care workers with the deadly virus.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: GOP response lacking to green-card giveaway

Ebola, the Internal Revenue Service, Benghazi, unfettered illegal immigration — the list goes on and on. While Rome burns, the politicians see no evil, hear no evil and speak not a word against the evil being foisted on the citizens of the United States by an ideologically bankrupt president and his corrupt Democratic Party ("Green cards on the table," Web, Oct. 20).

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Life quality is best mental-health gauge

Mental health problems are very burdensome for individuals, society and the health care system. The prevailing idea in psychiatry to date has been that the disability associated with certain conditions would disappear after symptoms are gone, and therefore, the goal of treatment is usually symptom resolution.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Surgeons general aren’t always ‘nannies’

The Washington Times' recent editorial "Ebola crisis needs more than a bureaucrat czar" (Web, Oct. 19) missed the mark in several ways, though the criticism of the appointment of a Democratic political operative as this country's "Ebola czar" is on target.

EDITORIAL: U.N. hands off the Internet

International bureaucrats have schemed for years to put the Internet under the thumb of the United Nations. President Obama rightly tells them to knock it off, and we applaud him for it.

EDITORIAL: Green cards on the table

The White House intended to remain silent about its plans for immigration. Revealing a scheme to open the floodgates of amnesty would be disastrous on the eve of the critical midterm elections.

EDITORIAL: Gillespie for Senate

Virginians aren't rightly represented in the U.S. Senate. Despite their proximity to the seat of federal government, Virginians cultivate a fundamentally conservative character.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Public health is a security issue, too

In the editorial "Ebola politics" (Web, Oct. 14), The Washington Times laments the government not devoting enough resources to working on an Ebola vaccine. However, that spending seems to be consistent with what the American people have desired.
