    Insertion of opinion

    Rick Vanhoose of WLKY-TV said July 11 the Republican  Party defied the Supreme Court when it attempted to repeal Obamacare.  

    Is that a simple mistake or is that his political views replacing the truth?

    The Congress is duty bound to pass legislation that they believe to be in the best interest of the American public.

    If that was a mistake, then he should make a retraction and then issue an apology to the Supreme Court and the Republican Party.

    Dialog on health care needs to change

    Those of us who are teachers, government employees, military or enrolled in Medicare or Medicaid, already have government supported health insurance. We are assured of coverage, and that coverage can’t be dropped for health-related or pre-existing conditions. It is difficult for us truly to appreciate the safety net provided by the Affordable Care Act.

    The Affordable Care Act:

    Wisdom today influences tomorrow

    A tatoo, piercing, choice of clothes or the color of dye in our hair may make the difference in our career potential. If either are the genuine expression of something you believe in, fine. Potential employers either may or may not like it for whatever reason. It’s up to us to decide whether certain expressions of our individuality are worth the possibility of job application rejection and be adult enough to deal with whatever comes. “Occupiers” need to understand that.

    The price paid for freedom

    I have noted with much interest that other than the construction process of the veterans memorial on Ring Road East, there was no or little mention of Independence Day, July 4, the day we celebrate the 236th anniversary of the founding of this free nation.

    The privilege of freedom and security is never free, and patriotism is not a sin.

    Fourth of July suggestion

    I believe this is a special occasion. I should take the time to write to my senators and representative to express my views on current topics.

    It doesn’t matter how brief the communication, but it is most important that I make the effort. They need to know that I am involved.

    Let’s look out for each other

    I write this with a broken heart as I think of the Higdon family and their recent loss. The burglary that occurred at their home as they were at their son’s funeral is unthinkable in our community, and yet it happened.

    It happened here, where we do not give a thought to such things, here where we are disgusted to hear of such a thing. This could be and should be our wake-up call — a call to action to keep this from becoming the usual and expected occurrence in our county.

     What’s in a name

    I would like to address the news about the basketball program being reinstated at ECTC. The name “Barons” was in honor of Coach Adolph Rupp when the college was the Elizabethtown Community College of the University of Kentucky. ECTC is not affiliated with the University of Kentucky; therefore, I think it is improper to use the name “Barons” as the team name.
