To the editor: High offices are almost always driven by events such as 9/11. Sadly, President Bush has been second-guessed on almost every move he made post 9/11.

It is so simple to be a Monday morning quarterback. Almost every politician from either major party has second-guessed Bush, most with malice. Bush promised all would be different if he was elected and that promise was kept.

To the editor:

Many years ago there was a weekly radio program that featured a character named Fibber McGee who had a closet filled with all sorts of junk. His wife would warn him not to open the closet door, but each week Fibber opened the door and all its contents would come spilling out.

Brunswick County has another McGee who also has a closet. Unlike Fibber, this McGee seems to want to keep that door closed with its contents out of view. That hasn’t always been the case.

To the editor: First I would like to say I have worked in the Shallotte area for 23 years and have just in the last 3 years become a small business owner here.

In all the years I have worked here, we have always placed our trash in our dumpster container, which is in the rear of our building where no one except our employees, the delivery people, the people who work for Waste Industries and an occasional passerby even sees our dumpster container.

To the editor: I would like to reply to J.W. McKernan in The Beacon on Aug. 28. I agree with him about political hacks; never in my life have we had such bad ones. Everyone I talk to agrees in person or on the computer—we want our troops brought home from the Middle East. They should not have been sent there in the first place.

Everything President Bush told us why they were sent turned out to be false.

Obama and McCain are going to leave them there to fight and die for a false cause at the behest of AIPAC.
