Who will remember unborn children?
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, It's been said that confession is good for the soul. I suppose that is true, because to confess or verbalize one's sins does sometimes release one's guilt. But in truth, as someone pointed out to me, "It's easy to forgive, but so hard to forget." My story is not one I've hidden. I've spoken several times about it. It's not an easy subject to broach, to tell, or to hear. It's not ...
Republicans need to stop following Democrats
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, Larry Baca has made a statement about this country having more Democrats. Actually, a large percentage of the population are Independent since the Republicans have acted in the past like little Democrats. The Democrats in this city have suggested the Republicans need to follow them. I say "no way." This is what has gotten the Republican party in trouble. They need to return to the fiscal and moral conservative wing of ...
In response to graffiti at Southside church
Editor Manteca Bulletin, One part of me is truly appalled, disgusted, and sickened that someone would deface a sacred place of honor in this community for more than 50 years, Southside Christian Church, 314 Locust Avenue, Manteca. But on the other hand another part of me realizes we are faced everyday with the grim realities of the depravity of gangs, and the impacts of their foul acts of vandalism throughout our community." We, as a ...
Try bicycling around Manteca instead of driving
Editor Manteca Bulletin, With all of this nonsense about politics based on chain e-mails being thrown around the editorial section these days, I thought I would try to produce something productive and worthwhile for the community. I am calling on more Mantecans to ride their bicycles. Let's face it, there is nowhere in Manteca that you cannot get to via bicycle. Spend a couple of hours pedaling around town and you can burn off somewhere ...
Jim Carlton: Well done, good and faithful servant
Editor Manteca Bulletin, Thank you for your article and tribute to my friend, Pastor Jim Carlton. "PC," as he was affectionately known to everyone, never sought attention, instead preferring to meet people on a one-to-one basis. When PC spoke to you, there was no ulterior motive; he was genuinely interested in your day. This was particularly amazing because for most of the time I knew him, he was suffering or in pain, yet continued ...
Who speaks for the Republican Party?
Editor Manteca Bulletin, The GOP (The Grand old Predicament) seems to be having just that and not only nationally but locally as well. In a recent Gallup Poll asking "Who speaks for the GOP?" 52% didn't know, 13% picked Rush Limbaugh, followed by the likes of Dick Cheney, Newt Gingrich, Glen Beck and Sara Palin. An interesting point on Sara Palin, only four people named her, three called her by name, the other one called ...
Why the Republican Party is in its weakened state
Editor Manteca Bulletin, I enjoy reading the Manteca Bulletin each day, particularly the "your views" section. It cheers me to see Republicans write their views focused on the same old tired rhetoric. The fact is, a vast majority of registered voters in this country identify themselves as Democrats. The greatest weakness of the Democratic Party is that historically they tend not to vote. That Democrats voted in record numbers should be a wakeup call ...
Saving shiny new schools at what cost?
Editor Manteca Bulletin, As I read about the further cuts coming to our school district, I was struck by the article that stated closing schools would only net a savings of less than $100,000. I am no mathematical genius by any means, but I did read the article in the Sun Post earlier this year, and I know that the principal from a school makes more than $100,000. Add in another $70,000 or so for ...
Democrats should call themselves socialists
Editor Manteca Bulletin, Maybe in the interest of transparency the Democratic Party should consider changing its name to the socialist party now that we see the party agenda in the first hundred days. After all the socialist party in Europe, after losing to capitalists, are considering changing their name to the democratic party. The question really is if this entire agenda is really good for America why is there so much deception? Why does the ...
The differences between Demos & GOP
Editor, Manteca Bulletin There have been a couple of letters that blame both the Republicans and Democrats for our problems. For most of the issues facing America, this is true. But for a couple of issues, there is true party accountability. This is because of some basic philosophy differences. How each party approaches health care, the economy, taxes, energy, and affordable housing is different. The other issues such as police, fire and education are ...
They don’t understand basic tenets
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, Christians and conservatives should give thanks to Mr. Petersen for his "missing the boat" column. Now we should better understand that many of those who oppose what we stand for do not really understand our basic tenets. We need to be clearer in expressing our views by realizing that the left has difficulty with how we think. First let us be clear we believe the Bible teaches us to love everyone, God ...
We can so something about our legislators
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, As a parent, this is frustrating. As a California citizen, it's disgusting to see our legislators working to what amounts as part-time and receiving six-figure salaries, plus getting a new car paid for by the taxpayers of California – most of who can't afford to buy a new car for their own families. The state government is "stealing" from our children to line their own pockets. They cut education, public service programs, ...
At least keep parade, breakfast on 4th
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, I grew up loving this country. Throughout my school years, as I learned more and more about U.S. history, my respect for and pride in the United States continued to deepen. Our country is not perfect. We have made missteps in our past and probably will make mistakes in the future. I don't always agree with the direction or actions our country has taken. But in general, warts and all, the United ...
Why do you publish those childish letters?
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, I recently read a article about President Bush. He was asked to comment on our President. His reply: the President has a very hard job. He did not agree with him on all things. He wished him well and success because he loved our country more than politics. Why do you continue to publish the childish letters with writers calling people DemocRats. Also, this is not a Christian country. It is a ...
Do the right thing and celebrate 4th on July Fourth
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, Louie J. Parra's "News Flash" about all the inter-party bickering and finger pointing is a step in the right direction, and his closing thought about directing energy toward "fixing things instead of continuously blaming the other guy" is solid. Nevertheless elections, parties and votes determine only which political operative will hold an office which functions as the conspicuous place to focus attention for praise or blame while the powerfully invisible which pay ...
