Nice people, bad policies

Regarding Sally Kohn鈥檚 April 21 & 28 commentary, 鈥淲hat I learned as a liberal talking head on Fox News鈥�: I don鈥檛 doubt that the people at Fox Ms. Kohn mentions all are beautiful human beings. I just don鈥檛 care for the way they seem to slant the truth to push an agenda or be controversial. They are adept at taking a weak point or mistake made by Democrats and then painting it as聽the聽issue. When this is presented as the news, I question their objectivity.

Bill O鈥橰eilly may be a prince of fellows personally, but his actions as presented to the public in his program can be mean-spirited. On the other side you have Bill Maher and Jon Stewart. The only difference is that they are primarily comedians.

I would like to be able to either read or hear the news without a slant, where all sides of the issues are shown and I decide what I want to think about it. Sadly that type of reporting does not exist enough on the right or the left.

Constitutionalists vs. anarchists

I don鈥檛 think the differences in people鈥檚 political views should be characterized as Republican versus Democrat or liberal versus conservative or right versus left. The real difference lies in people鈥檚 view of what constitutes lawful government. I see the difference as being constitutionalists versus anarchists. We either have a lawfully constituted government created for the purpose of securing people鈥檚 unalienable rights to life, liberty, and an opportunity for happiness or we don鈥檛.

Years ago I partnered with the late Gov. Evan Mecham (R) of Arizona in speaking to groups. He rarely failed to cite America鈥檚 problem as being the inability and/or refusal of politicians to accept that the Constitution says what it means, means what it says, and isn鈥檛 difficult to interpret when viewed in the light of government鈥檚 purpose.

It鈥檚 quite clear to me that America鈥檚 problems stem from a different philosophy of government 鈥� 鈥渢o rein in the rights of the people.鈥� To counter America鈥檚 slide away from being a constitutional republic, true constitutionalists must gain control of the federal government.
