War on terror not an Obama priority
If combating terrorism is President Obama’s “Top Priority”, as he stated during his taxpayer-funded sightseeing tour to Cuba and South America, I can just imagine the attention his low-priority items get.
Let’s at least be honest that, when it comes to priorities, Obamacare, gun control, gay rights and a host of other liberal issues outweigh the president’s focus on the War on Terror. If you need evidence of this, just watch the president’s actions, not just listen to his words.
In the end, the only thing we should expect from our government is what we cannot do for ourselves. Defending myself from an enemy actively pursuing and using weapons of minor and mass destruction is not within my capabilities. It is not hard to imagine a day when the slow drip of recurring terrorist attacks culminates in the sum of all fears. At that point, a president’s priorities will be immediately reset, and some proper perspective will be placed on the legacy of Obama’s actual priorities.

Writer was right on religiosity
I applaud the letter by the writer of “Bill favors religiosity” on March 28 in which he quotes directly from the New Testament to point up the irony in the so-called religious “freedom” bill. In that excerpt from Matthew, Jesus asks Christians to pray privately. To live their faith privately and not publicly. Why should they take offense or feel demeaned by those of us who choose other beliefs, and at the same time feel that they, Christians, should constantly be pushing their beliefs in other folks’ faces? The writer hit the nail on the head: Christian “freedom” to refuse public service to others on the base of Christian belief is to make U.S. law into “God’s Law.”
