Bias exhibited by Professor Robert Watson

November 30, 2008
Dear Editor: The bias exhibited by Professor Robert Watson is quite evident to everyone except the Sun-Sentinel.His tirade against President George W. Bush in the Sun-Sentinel ( Nov. 30) was a continuation of his vendetta against President Bush that he has conducted over the past 8 years, many times in the pages of the Sun-Sentinel.Most historians can and should praise or criticize a sitting president - but a really non-partisan historian would withhold his scholarly evaluation of his presidency after a reasonable amount of time has passed after he has left office. Using his method of exclaiming George W. Bush the " worst" president in history, I wonder what he would've wrote when Harry Truman was leaving office? He has consistently blamed Bush for anything that went wrong in the country or the world, but never once gave him any credit for the positive happenings during his administration such as his prescient "war on terror" and his liberating of over 50 million people in Iraq and Afghanistan.Professor Watson is the poster boy for why academia is often accused of being in the pocket of the liberal establishment. It is he that should be labeled " irrelevant" - not President Bush.

“Audacity of Hype”

Dear Friends and Fellow Republicans:

The “ Audacity of Hype” has won the day with an empty message of “ change”. The Republicans, instead of putting forth a political agenda of conservative values and principles, tried to cater their message to the masses by becoming “ Democrat-Lite”, thinking that would woo some Democrats and Independents. It looks like it did just the opposite, and, in addition, lost many conservatives in the process, as well it should have. The Republican party has lost it’s way and only an infusion of rock-solid conservative principles and strong conservative candidates can alter the decline.
The disgraceful performance of the heads of the Republican party of Florida, including our “ wimp” of a Governor ( a personal friend of Robert “ Weasel” Wexler), who ignored the Congressional race of Allen West ( and also Edward Lynch), who, being an unknown 10 months ago, came within a few points of toppling an obscenely well financed first-term incumbent. Republicans don’t win elections by becoming pseudo-Democrats and by abandoning the conservative principles of Ronald Reagan.
We need another Newt Gingrich and his “ Contract With America” to come to the assistance of us lonely conservatives. Our hero, Allen West, is the go-to guy we need to lead the party back to its conservative roots and away from the destructive influence of the RINO’s ( Republicans in Name Only).
Let’s start as soon as possible to right the ship before it sinks totally out of sight. If the Congress continues to do what it did the past two years, which was nothing, a candidate like Allen West could step in to fill the void, without any albatross around his neck like a polarizing President and a weak presidential candidate, he would have a better than even chance to bring that seat back to the G.O.P. and to give us frustrated Republicans a chance to regain our sanity.
Now, let’s go do the right thing.

Sincerely,
