Many pro-gun activists won't accept compromise

Editor,

I believe in the Second Amendment, but there are some common-sense approaches we can try. This radical stance and bashing the president is no way to address the issue. The parents of Newtown and other citizens have requested that the president address this issue. As commander-in-chief, that is his job. It is no different than what other presidents, including Republicans, have done in the past.

Let's come together, solve problems as one nation

Editor,

The Standard’s Nov. 8 editorial, "A re-election, but not much more," just adds to the division of this country. The article stirred up emotion with both parties. With Republicans, it again affirmed their loss, and that the election was unfair and aids to the distaste for the Democrats. For Democrats, this editorial was more than just bias; it was untrue. We all know both sides had their fair share of attack ads and it was not one-sided, especially the view that tried to portray Chrysler as sending jobs to China.

Editor,

Republicans continue to criticize Obama by saying he has done nothing for this country and they compare him to Jimmy Carter. That is an unfair assessment. Our financial crisis could have gone the other way and our recovery much worse. Republicans can continue to deny what they don’t want to acknowledge.

They are poor losers, sabotaging the president clearly with a mission to get him out of office. So let’s all reward them for bad behavior and vote them back in again.

Greedy big businesses have bought lawmakers

Thanks for the education on socialism and the ridiculous examples and your attempted brain washing that Barack Obama wants shared equality. The scare tactics didn't fool everyone. Bottom line the writer fears equal taxation (Oct. 23 letter, "Socialism removes individual self-improvement").

The rich should pay their fair share. Imagine your share helping a senior who can't afford their medication, or a low wage earner with health insurance.
