DEFENDER OF THE CONSTITUTION Thanks for the great article on Ken Cuccinelli (“The Passion of Ken Cuccinelli,” February). I’ve been a huge fan of his ever since he took on Obamacare, but had no idea of his other stands and accomplishments. I hope conservatives everywhere will join in supporting his election as governor so we can make him our nominee for president in 2016. We need fresh blood in the form of bright, articulate, principled fi ghters for the Constitution — those who are more concerned about the country than their own personal careers!

GUN CONTROL Confronting the mass murders of innocent school children and theatergoers with gun bans is becoming popular in many circles (“Newtown Killings Spur Gun Debate,” February). Stump-jumpers like Vice President Joe Biden overlook a huge underlying cause of such incidents — boys without fathers. Gun control is a partially misguided approach. I say partially because automatic weapons and large ammo magazines, like violent video games, should arguably be prohibited or controlled.

We have already fought one war on the issue of gun control and it looks like Obama and Biden want a return bout over the issue.

GOVERNMENT DEPENDENCY Although many of the comments shared by Daniel J. Mitchell and William W. Beach as related to
4 NEWSMAX | MARCH 2013
previous eff orts on this subject are accurate, I personally have to question their information pertaining to recipients of government benefi ts (“Clear Path Needed for Entitlement Reform,” January). The implication that Americans
are more dependent on their government than ever before implies people on welfare, food stamps, and medical assistance are what drives the government. I personally believe the problem
is the other way around. It is big government that is driving up the supply and demand of individual programs administered by government, encouraging the needy to apply for government benefi ts. The statistics presented are, in fact, very accurate and refl ect where this administration is going with social programs.

GAY-FRIENDLY TV Regarding the article in the January issue of Newsmax, “Networks Drawn to Gay-Friendly Shows,” I wish to
quote Hollywood heavyweight Oliver Stone who told 60 Minutes he was “trying to reshape the world through movies.” Television producers know that commercials infl uence viewers and so does the content of their shows.

GOP, NRA TOO COZY About 15 years ago, I stopped supporting the GOP because I was concerned about what I thought was an unhealthy relationship between the GOP and the NRA. I wonder what percentage of gun owners voted Republican? Certainly not too many conservative young people or women. Maybe it is time for the GOP to stop stumping for the NRA.

LEGAL IMMIGRANTS ONLY Recently it has been said that our nation’s immigration system is broken and needs reform and a permanent fi x (“Half of Deported Criminal Illegals Return,” January). We have a wonderfully generous immigration policy that allows more than 2 million immigrants to come here every year . . . legally. There is no need for immigration
policy reform other than to enforce the rules we already have in place. People are deported because they break the law. We should continue deporting them until they get the message that in America we are honorable citizens, and we obey the law. All are welcome if they can accept that premise.
