Many voters that form the “base” of the Democratic party were quite vocal in the criticism of their party leaders and the many other Democrats in Congress that pushed hard to have Anthony Weiner (the New York Representative who Tweeted lewdphotos of himself to women online) resign his position. Theirloud argument had to do with the fact that whensex scandals befall the Republican party,Republican politicians tend to “circle the wagons” around the offending sexual deviantand simply refuse to demand their resignation, as attested by recent examplesof the governor of South Carolina, the senator from Idaho, the senator from Louisiana, the senator from Nevadatocite a few.

I’d like to offer a challenge to all the Bend cops who have decided to, as The Bulletin put it on the front page of Sunday’s paper, “target cyclists.”Try riding a bike to and from work, for just one week. Then, the next time you pull over a cyclist in this town, try to look them in the eye and tell them that they’re the problem. And if you can do that, then your soul is as black as that handgun you’re wearing that you think makes you look so tough.
You ride your bike just five miles around here and odds are at some point you’ll be cut off or find yourself sharing the bike lane with a lifted F-350. So, if someone opts to ride on the sidewalk here and there, rolls through a stop sign, or decides to ride home without a light, then cut them a little slack.

I am writing to praise Sydney Leonard’s toddy article. Ms.

I not only read the Source, I have done a lot of ads with you when I owned The Iron Butterfly. It really saddens me to see the constant editorial slant of everything “liberal, progressive.

I read with disgust the article about Deschutes County being far behind in vaccinating our children. I say, GOOD! The rates of infectious disease were already on the decline BEFORE vaccines were introduced.
Second, doctors and Big Pharma CANNOT guarantee the safety of present-day vaccines.
Third, if current vaccines contained only dead or weakened viruses and saline solution, I would vaccinate my child. But unfortunately, these vaccines contain dangerous chemicals and heavy metals that I myself would not want injected into me.
