Got a letter to the editor published on 7/13/14 in the (Bergen) Record.On school over crowding

On 7/13/14,Sunday I got a letter to the editor published in the (Bergen) Record.THe headline(not my words)was "Growth coming too fast in Fort Lee." This is what was published of my words:"The rise of school enrollment in Fort Lee is the beginning of the end for quality of life in the borough.
Overdevelopment is like a ticking time bomb.At first,you don't notice the difference in your community,but over time the quality that made your community unique disappears in front of your eyes,and soon you feel like a stranger in a strange land.
What you have in Fort Lee is a rush to develop without any thought about how the community will be affected by this unrestrained growth.And with one party rule in Fort Lee,there is no debate or questioning of policy.
I'm sure officials have the best intentions in mind,but as the old saying goes,"the road to hell is paved with good intentions."

Some explanations:Fort Lee has been ruled for at least twenty years by a Democratic Party machine.Last year I ran for city council,as a Republican and lost.My message was overdevelopment will ruin Fort Lee.Well,to quote a Democrat Ed Koch the people didn't vote for me,now they must be punish.  

On Monday 7/7/14 O'Reilly read a letter of my on his program.

On Monday 7/14/14 Bill O'Reilly read a letter of my on his program,at the of show he often reads e-mail he received by e-mail.This was read on the air,"Laura Ingraham's plan to round up illegal aliens for mass deportations would turn the Republican Party into the Know Nothing Party.We are not a police state."
Edited out was first line stated Ms.Laura  Ingraham should trade in her Cross for a Swastika.Laura wears a big Cross(maybe to bear) but she's mocks the Cross with nastiness,I think born out bitterness toward life because she can't have children.
Background: Laura Ingraham came on O'Reilly show a few days before my letter was read:she said all illegal aliens should deported sounds like something that the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany.
A little history lesson about the Know Nothing Party:In 1840's there was much immigrants,mostly Irish Catholics and a lot people saw this as threat to the Republic,henceforth,secret societies grew though out the nation.There platform was only native born Americans should hold public office and 25 year residence qualification for citizenship.They got name Know Nothing because they were secret societies when ask to name there members they said they know nothing.
Anyway in 1850's they came out of shadows and formed a party the American Party:almost won control New York in 1854,in 1856 former President Millard Fillmore ran for President on the American Party line(the Know Nothings) only carry Maryland.The Know Nothings went same route
as the Wing over the same issue slavery-split the two parties up the middle.

Eduard Shevardnaze R.I.P

On 7/8/14 a voice for decency ,restrained and freedom from the past died,believe or not,a soviet official who was more like prince is no longer with us for Eduard Shevardnadze is die.The man  who saw evils of it's ways of the Soviet and alone with Boris Yeltsin try to bring demonica force of communism to it's heels and free the people's souls but good work is unnoticed today and much of good work has been revised.Mikhail Gorbachev(who Shevardnadze was his foreign Ministry)try saved the Soviet Union by putting a human face it,but the face was too ugly and Yeltsin and Shevardnadze saw that it was time for the Soviet Union to go,unfortunately Putin believes this was great lose for man. 

Is Sarah Palin a moron or is she trying to get back in spotlight?

A few days ago,on Sean Hannity T.V show Sarah Palin said Obama should be impeached! I said,to myself(the most wise man I know) Palin is either a moran or she trying to get back spotlight! Just discussing impeaching Obama is stupid,it save Obama from himself,like the Clinton impeachment and like Senator Flake(who unlike Palin is no flake) said it would be distraction.These people on the Right never from their mistakes.This strategy of charge of Light Brigade,may be very romantic and fire in people's bellies,at the end of day your soldiers are dead! You now I admirer Ronald Reagan very much,he did so many remarkable and one was keeping the Right-wing loonies off the radar screen,unfortunately because talk radio they have reappear,hence,hurting the Republican Party and Conservative movement,which is now confused with populism.
But maybe Sarah Palin care about anything but herself? Maybe she just wants to get back in the spotlight? Norman Podhoretz-once Lefty,now a Righty- wrote in his memior "Making It"(published in 1968) you say outragous things to get notice.I mean,media will follow any fool for sensationalism because it sells.

A letter to the editor I got published today(7/8/14) in NY Post on great Presidents.

Today 7/8/14 I got letter to the editor published in the New York Post on great presidents.This is what appeared in the paper:"Reagan is not only the greatest president since World War Two,but of the 20th century.The only presidents greater than Reagan are George Washington,Abraham Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson-plus James Polk,because when you win a war without firing a bullet,that's a pretty remarkable thing.
I think both Harry Truman and Dwight Eisenhower should rated higher than either Clinton or Kennedy.Eisenhower,William McKinley and Polk are most underated presidents in history."

My letter was in respond to poll asking who was greatest president since World War Two.Reagan come in first,than Clinton and Kennedy.

A letter to the editor I got published in the NY Daily News on 7/4/14 about words,stirring word from Calvin Coolidge

I got a letter to the editor,published in the New York Daily News,today 7/4/14 about words,stirring words from Calvin Coolidge.This is what apeared in the paper:On this Fourth of July,our nation's birthday,I think the words of a former President born on July 4,Calvin Coolidge,define what we hope to be as Americans.
On Jan. 17, 1924 in front of the American Society of Newspaper Editors,Coolidge said these stirring words:
"It is only those who do not understand our people who believe that our people who believe that our national life is entirely absorbed by material motives.
We make no concealment of the fact that we want wealth,but there are many other things that we wantvery much more.
We want peace and honor and that charity which is so strong an element of all civilization.
The chief idea of the American people is idealism.I cannot repeat too often that America is a nation of idealists."
Wow.Where have idealists gone in America? Politics seems to be dominated by cynicism today.   

The same people who predicted peak oil are the same people who are predicting global warming?

I wonder are same people who predicted peak oil are the same people who are now predicting global warming? I remember the energy crisis of the 1970's,long line at gas stations,high inflation and we told by the smart America's days in sun are over.But then come sunny Ronald Reagan as President and America's seems so bright,he decontroled the price oil,and after a sharp the price drop palpability,the price of barrel of oil drop to about 10 barrel,of course expert put much gloom market,indeed,stocks like Exxon were down to 30 dollar share with a dividend 3 dollar that 10 percent yield so I told mom to buy some Exxon and she did and also I first thought before recommending the purchase of Exxon,this company mut paid much of it's income to the dividend,but it wasn't case there paid about 25 percent earning in dividend,also I thought this company must have a lot,but wasn't ,indeed,at that time Exxon had no debt.30 then it's spilt a couple time it's now about 100 and it raises it's dividend every year.Best advice I ever got to mom.
Anyway back peak prediction that turn so wrong today the U.S.A is a float in oil and gas some maybe next year we will be net exports of oil,far cry from 1970's and prediction that all was lost.
Now we hear the same certainty from wise,smart people about global warming.Well,if wrong about peak oil maybe they are wrong about global warming.
