Family, teachers remember Powell boys at Washington funeral

Columnists views are opinionated 'scat'

(UNEDITED)Two Standard Examiner staff writers should practice more credible journalism. I refer to two recent statements which reflect absurdity and the need for a refresher course in Journalism 101. First, the heading for an editorial page column (10/24/10) by Rick Stewart stated, "Republicans care only about the wealthy." Really?! That's all Republicans care about? The term "only" is both singular and exclusive in it's meaning. I'm a Republican who is well acquainted with many other Republicans and have never had a discussion about caring for the wealthy. The statement is both false and ludicrous. Stewart should have been ashamed to let that statement be the heading of his article.

'Immigration follies' editorial is off the mark

(UNEDITED) Some comments regarding the August 31 editorial "The immigration follies:"

1) Utah citizens have not viewed the debate as entertainment -- to say such is folly; 2) Enough with the race card -- if the majority of illegal immigrants are Mexican they create the racial profile; 3) Hurray for other states considering emulating Arizona's law by re-asserting states' rights -- Washington has abdicated enforcement of existing federal laws for decades, so, the constituents (states) of federalism are taking action as UNITED states; 4) The writer of the editorial refers to the possible repeal of the 14th Amendment as "silly" -- silly is better illustrated by the writer's usage of "law-abiding illegals."
