Robert Moon's letters

There's a guy in Cincinnati who really knows how to write a letter to the editor. He keeps them short and to the point. Pithy, as my idol Bill O'Reilly (sarcasm alert) would say.

His name is Robert Moon. He sends us more letters than we can use.

Here are some he has sent that we are not able to use. I just wanted to get them out there for the world to see, at least the small corner that passes by this spot.

If it costs too much to employ Americans, then the solution is not to import cheap labor and throw American workers under the bus. I'm sure Democrats are dissapointed that they failed to add 12 million Democrat voters to the population and to our already strained welfare programs, but the solution is to target the things that needlessly make Americans less employable, like frivolous lawsuits, labor union abuses, over-regulation, and the tax code.

As long as Democrats keep defending frivolous lawsuits, trying to raise taxes, regulating businesses to death, and enabling unions to harrass and intimidate their way into power, there will continue to be a strong demand for cheaper labor. And silencing talk radio will not change this.

Somewhere between their relentless opposition to parental choice in schools, the active interest they've taken in reviving the "Fairness" Doctrine, their support for obscenely expensive socialized medicine programs, and their proposal to deny workers the right to vote on funding Democrat campaigns through unionization in secret, free from union intimidation and harrassment, Democrats have thoroughly eliminated "pro-choice" as a legitimate description of what they stand for.

1st letter:
If Democrats want voters to think they can be trusted with presidential power in 2008, they might want to stop taking such an active interest in using their existing power to deny people their basic Constitutional rights with ideas like "Fairness" Doctrine. What part of "Congress shall make no law... abridging the freedom of speech" don't they understand?

2nd letter:
If Democrats are going to be in such a rush to deny workers basic civil liberties by stripping them of the right to vote secretly, free from union harrassment and intimidation, on whether or not they want part of their paycheck to be signed over to the Democrats through unionization, then they might at least want to explain what need there even is for unions now that federal law covers everything they were created to protect. Driving employers into bankruptcy and overseas by making them pay workers $30/hour to put wheels on cars is not worth trampling free speech and free assembly to accomplish.

Any politician who defies the overwhelming majority of Americans and shoves the worst parts of this amnesty bill down our throats in individual broken up legislative acts will lose my vote and gain a motivated enemy, just as if they had voted for the original proposal. We have no business adding millions of poor people to our already strained welfare programs under the guise that we actually expect our notoriously ineffective government beuracracies will make them pay their fines and adhere to far more involved, complicated rules than before, just to reward them for breaking our laws and cutting in front of law-abiding immigrants.

###

I cannot buy Democrat rhetoric about being the party of the 1st Amendment when they use their new razor thin majority to try to counter the persistent popular rejection of liberal talk radio by putting Congress in charge of which political opinions can be expressed on the air. Between this and their recent power-grabbing proposal to deny the workers they claim to represent their right to vote on unionization privately, without union harrassment and intimidation, trampling free speech and free assembly, Democrats seem more like a wolf in sheep's clothing than a champion of individual rights.

I don't run these here because I endorse Mr. Moon's points, although I do agree with some of them. All I'm trying to say is that he knows how to write a letter to the editor.

Who knows. I might take some of his letters and weave them into a bullet-points column sometime.
