Letter: Ideology concept clarified
Recently, I wrote a “Viewpoint” article in which I claimed, among other things, that the term “ideology” is often used by politicians, special interest groups and others to discredit or dismiss the arguments of their opponents.May 06, 2009
Viewpoint: Ideology - A changing, elusive concept
Be warned. What follows is a discussion of ideology, a complex and difficult subject indeed.By Thomas St. Martin, Viewpoint Writer , April 22, 2009
Viewpoint: Fed. gov’t. Rx: ‘Cookie cutter’ medicine?
When you go to see your physician, you do not typically consider the costs (especially if a third party is paying for your care): you think, rather, of benefits (e.g. alleviation of pain, the promise of a cure, etc.).By Thomas St. Martin, Viewpoint Writer , March 04, 2009
Viewpoint: Be wary of ever-increasing regulation
Now that the political left is firmly in control of the federal government — and verging on control of the state government — we are being told that a strong dose of government regulation is needed if we are to cure our economic and social ills.By Thomas St. Martin, Viewpoint Writer , February 04, 2009
Viewpoint: Writers - Remember the facts
In last week’s Bulletin, there was a Viewpoint by Steve Lagoon and a letter from the prolific Thomas St. Martin that I would like to comment on.By John W. Shirts, Viewpoint Writer , February 04, 2009
Letter: Don’t condone what makes the world worse
Carol Turnbull (Bulletin, Dec. 10) thinks that I was not nice when I stated that a well-known Bulletin correspondent is “one of Woodbury’s most vocal abortion advocates.”December 17, 2008
Letter: Tired of the name-calling
As I said previously, I'm really tired of the "abortion debate." But I'm also tired of name-calling, which Mr. St. Martin engages in (again) when he refers to Ms. Denn as "one of Woodbury’s most vocal abortion advocates" (Viewpoint, Dec. 3).December 10, 2008
Viewpoint: Writer’s response was ‘flat out wrong’
In a recent letter to the Bulletin, one of Woodbury’s most vocal abortion advocates, Joyce Denn, dogmatically stated that a previous writer, Steve Lagoon, was “flat out wrong” in saying that Barack Obama, as an Illinois state senator, “voted to deny medical care for babies who survive an abortion...”By Thomas St. Martin, Viewpoint Writer , December 03, 2008
Viewpoint: At odds with ‘ voter's guide for the faithful’
In a recent letter titled “A Voter’s Guide For the Faithful” (Bulletin, Letters, Oct. 22), the writer, like so many ill-informed people today, indicted the Catholic church for a number of sins, including the now widely accepted but jejune version of the Galileo affair.By Thomas St. Martin, Viewpoint Writer , November 05, 2008
Letter: Bachmann is not a ‘Bush lackey’
It seems that George W. is not too popular these days, being blamed for everything from global warming to bank failures. Bush bashing, then, is definitely “in.”October 22, 2008
Letter: Don’t reflexively bash ‘extremism’
A fatuous letter in a recent Woodbury Bulletin asserted that Sixth Congressional district Rep. Michele Bachmann does not represent “all” of the residents of her district.By Thomas St. Martin , October 08, 2008
Viewpoint: Special interest groups are here to stay
If you doubt that we are in the midst of very silly, nasty, political season, listen to a few of the political advertisements that, among other things, now regularly interrupt our television programs.By Thomas St. Martin, Viewpoint Writer , September 17, 2008
Viewpoint: Raising a few health care doubts
Recently, a writer identified as a physician who once worked in the Veterans Administration health care system, sang the praises of government run health care systems.By Thomas St. Martin, Viewpoint Writer , July 09, 2008
Viewpoint: Have an open mind on global warming
Global warming aficionados typically claim that an overwhelming number of scientists think that climate change is human induced, raising the specter of rising sea levels, widespread droughts and other assorted disasters.By Thomas St. Martin, Viewpoint Writer , June 25, 2008
