Hard to sympathize
I expect a torrent of these "victim" articles as the left-wing media tries to help ram Obamacare down the throats of an angry American electorate, but a recent example is not an effective one (3/16, A1, "The coverage gap; Insurance companies say the rules are needed. A Kansas City man’s fear of ...

So long
Unfettered friends, As of today I will no longer be serving as The Star's Letters editor. Thanks for all of your contributions to this blog. It will carry on, but without me. Best wishes, and keep the opinions coming. -- Julie Rehm
Ms. Schutte,
Are we still having the Borders War??? I live in Kansas, I shop in Kansas AND Missouri, as most people do. Perhaps the shops offered something not found in Kansas City. Perhaps the streets were cleaner because the respective cities are different in size and the governments are run differently. The snow debacle you describe is largely the result of the incompetence of the city council, mayor and those that refuse to hold them accountable.
By the way you can keep my 1% earnings tax that is taken from me every y year. If Kansas Citians were charged the same tax from Kansas there would likely be pandemonium!!!!
It's a shame...

Snow and taxes
Doug Bonney (1/8, Letters) states that he learned Kansas City streets were worse than Kansas roads when he drove from his home in Brookside to Prairie Village Shopping Center. Did you go there to shop, Mr. Bonney? Maybe that’s why the streets were cleaner there: Because Kansas Citians spend the...
Mr. Moore,
What we really have in America is a plutocracy... (you can look it up). All the whining you do about being led into socialism is a joke...
What do you think medicare, social security, medicaid, ad nauseum is???
You guys love to spout your beck-rush-hannity-isms and claim the "dominant" liberal media ignores or castigates you... that's a good one given the dominance of hatriot AM radio and the personal attack and denigration of almost anyone on the left.
But don't worry, it all changes every four to eight years depending on which party screws up the most or can best promote the lies they promise. Then the other side spends all it's time doing their level best to destroy the other sides agenda until they can win... and all the business interests play each side to insure they have a friend in congress to help make sure the will of business is followed.
Meanwhile A m e r i c a gets screwed again. Pardon me whilst I go throw up...

Thank you, Sens. Harry Reid and Claire McCaskill, for not listening to the majority of the American people and ramming through your socialist agenda. I do not believe health care is the driving force here. I think it is the power over the American people. I think President Obama wants to lead u...

You reveal way too much of your agnst and personal "diarrhetic feelings" with your loathsome piggi references to Hillary Clinton... If you had anything other than the sadd wingnut hatriot madness incurred from listening to too much talk/bile radio you might notice I didn't attack the recent quitter from AK.
Also since you mention it, I didn't know that Fox news, "fair and balanced", (my a**!!!), also engaged in the coordinated AMERICAN media strike against Palin's daughter. But wait... Fox doesn't count as "real" media since you guys like to play it as us agin them mean ole lefties.
Oh yeah, I also forgot McCain's and Limbuaugh's ugly dog references to Chelsea a few years ago... perhaps your memory is suffering from the diarrhetic thing again.
