There is such a place

Imagine a place where the priorities of God, family, and country matter. A place where small town values permeate even the biggest of cities. Where the acts of good men and women who stand for what’s right are celebrated, not demonized, and where cowards can be spotted by their over-display of political correctness. A place where people understand that there is such a thing as right and wrong and where the good guys are far more likely to own, and carry, a gun than the bad guys.

Road realignment will increase water rates

By George W. Foote I have been hearing some strong opposition to the proposed San Vicente Road realignment project in recent weeks. The county is proposing the project primarily for increased traffic safety. Reasons I have heard for the opposition include: Two years of traffic congestion from the construction, a belief that straightening the road [...]

Things are going to get bad—real bad

Obama has been re-elected by the establishment. Things are going to get bad, real bad.

Here we go, Marxism, wars, debt, and poverty for the USA.

We had a guy, his name is Ron Paul, who was drawing five times the crowds to hear him speak than Mitt Romney. For example, 6,000 people showed to hear Dr. Paul speak at UCSD earlier this year, with no airtime or press.

Significance of 2012 General Election

Principal significance: More than a billion dollars of Big Corporate Money could not buy the election their way — neither the principal target of presidential choice nor many of the propositions all around the country, California included. American electorate cannot be bought. They expressed their own opinion — the way the democracy should work.

A day to remember those who make this possible

It’s Veterans Day, a day set aside for the express purpose of remembering the sacrifices made by the brave and selfless men and women who put their lives in harm’s way so that the world may continue to have the peace, freedom and liberty that is only found when someone is willing to stand up to the world’s bullies and say “Forbear!”

U.S. Constitution remains relevant

Freedom. What does it mean? Is it just another word used in everyday life like it’s nothing? If you ask me, sure seems like it.

Freedom is what this country was founded on. Our founding fathers knew one day we would be a free nation and they knew that we were going to be moving forward and advancing in every way possible. There is a reason they wrote a document, a document to say there are things people have that the government can’t touch. Without this, we would have nothing.

Alternatives to Prop. R

In response to Damon Baldwin’s Oct. 24 article concerning Prop. R, “The upcoming bond…How does it affect Ramona’s future?”

I would encourage all to look at additional issues in this matter. Who will manage this money? Will it be the same leadership that put us in this situation in the first place, the leadership that has taken insufficient action over the past four years to cut costs?

Yes on Proposition R

I am the principal at James Dukes Elementary School and I have seen first-hand how technology can increase learning opportunities with our students. After a year of fundraising with the PTA, James Dukes Elementary School was able to purchase 30 devices for our students to use in our technology room. As the students rotate through the technology room, you can hear squeals of excitement and joy as they collaborate and create projects with their friends.

Will it be liberty or tyranny?

Four years ago Americans got caught up in a daze of “hope and change” and elected Barack Hussein Obama to the most powerful position on the planet: President of the United States of America.

At the time Obama was an unknown and unvetted community organizer, who had no record of accomplishment or qualifications for president. Today his past records remain sealed and he is a mystery to most Americans.

Money management, not money, is the issue

A PTA group sponsored a Ramona school board candidate meeting on Oct. 18. Proposition R and the other school tax increases — propositions 30 and 38, were discussed. I attended to ask three questions:

1. Why hasn’t maintenance to Ramona schools been done as needed over the years so this alleged “maintenance crisis” could have been avoided?
