At the end of a close race, George W. Bush has been re-elected President of the United States. Sen. John Kerry conceded the race Wednesday and Bush declared victory. In this metaphoric game of Texas Hold 'Em, America put all its chips on the table and went all in.
As a Christian, I am dismayed by the overwhelming support President Bush received from evangelical Christians.
October was Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Most of us have seen posters and pictures of the victims: women with bruised faces, broken bones, split lips and missing teeth or children huddled in the corner, covering their ears. But if domestic violence is so horrible, why don't victims get out?
This letter is in response to the letter from Len Miller, "Vote for Prop.
You can't look across the street nowadays without seeing something truly hideous. Go ahead, give it a try.
To those who went to vote - we salute you. After the long, hard crawl to the polls you didn't wimp out.
I am writing this letter in regard to the poor lighting on campus at night. With all of the recent assaults going on, I feel that more lighting is a necessity for safety and security.
Jonathan Malavolti's column regarding Saturday evening's classic ("Fans couldn't ask for more from Spartans" SN 11/1) epitomized the kind of bogus attitude within the local public and media that has haunted MSU football for much of the past half-century. Yes, Jonathan, fans could ask for more - and quite frankly they should.
Before the Michigan-MSU game, I watched ESPN commentators joking about the Spartans' chances of upsetting the great Wolverines.
I am writing in response to Jonathan Malavolti's column "Fans couldn't ask for more from Spartans" (SN 11/1). His blind support of the team, win or lose, is the reason that this program has been steeped in mediocrity for 35 years. Yes, they gave a valiant effort, and yes, they played hard for most of the game.
On the eve of presidential elections it usually happens - the campaign-end surprise. One or both candidates will pull out some powerhouse, earth-shattering dirt on their competition. In 2000, Democrats served up President Bush's drunk-driving record to sway voters days before the election.
Puff Daddy is an opportunistic youth locust. If turning a once-great art form into self-absorbed braggadocio about money and spinning platinum hubcaps wasn't enough to earn him a special place in Hell, his exploitation of kids who wanted to become more politically-minded will hopefully get him a reservation. His "Vote or Die" campaign was meaningless fear-tactic fodder in the name of self-promotion.
I plan on voting for Michael Badnarik, the Libertarian candidate for president, today. In the past few months, I've listened to and read all sorts of misconceived rantings against third-party voters. The mainstream camps like to brand us as idealistic, fringy or foolish.
After recovering from my disappointment from the football game this weekend, I realized how proud I was of our team and our coaching staff.
The ability to learn from our mistakes is what facilitates knowledge - knowledge of our surroundings, our environment and the people in it.
I want to thank the Spartan Marching Band not only for an excellent program at the University of Michigan game, but also for its strong support of the team throughout the game.
I recently visited the Ziibiwing Center museum on the Isabella Indian Reservation near Mount Pleasant.
We all are entitled to the freedom of speech. But people don't necessarily have a right to force their own beliefs onto other people without giving valid context. That's the main problem we find with the "House of Horrors" run by Lansing's Mount Hope Church.
I just want to say that I am outraged by Mount Hope Church's recruitment of our area youth to their "House of Horrors" in which they subject these youth to scenes of abortion, child molestation and rape.
