No, it is not ironic for Fox News to be criticized in a Gazette editorial. That's what editorial pages are for. Problem is, Fox News is supposed to be an unbiased news organization, but instead it has become one big TV editorial page.

Union wisdom. There are no jobs in West Virginia for their workers so what do they do? They oppose any attempt at bringing jobs back to the state. Then when their membership numbers drop they blame the nasty company owners, banks and politicians.

I have lived in my house for 50 years and have never had any problem with water. Now that the EPA will not let them dredge the creeks or anything, I've been having trouble for the last five years and it finally got into my house during this last rain.

To the person calling in and complaining about Social Security and welfare - welfare, OK, but Social Security I paid into for 45 years and it's my tax money they're sending me a check for every month, not yours, my friend.

I read in the paper last week that people on food stamps are going to be required to either get training or have to work at least 20 hours per week. What's wrong with them working 40 hours per week and getting off of food stamps? If they can work 20 hours they should be able to work 40.

Can you ever find anything that's made in the United States food-wise? What is wrong with this crazy country?

Do you remember when the liberals said that Barack Obama was not coming to get your guns? Well they lied.

No matter what you call it, the city's service fee is charging people that have to go to work.

I don't blame one party over the other for the mess in West Virginia. Both parties are inept. They are either corrupt to the hilt or they are not the sharpest knife in the drawer - either one or both.

How many more criminals are there in Charleston with outstanding warrants that have been ignored? Seems recent arrests were made rather quickly once police decided to act.

From a 64-year-old lifelong Independent voter, after President Obama has rescued the economy, supplied over 25 million people with health insurance, stopped two wars and leads the world in the climate control issue. If he can do something about the devastating gun problem, he will go down as the greatest president of our time, just ahead of Reagan and Ike.

Someone was complaining that the natural gas fracking jobs never materialized like we were told. Well you are wrong. The jobs did materialize. The problem is that here in West Virginia we took so long debating the issue that the jobs all went to the surrounding states. Typical West Virginia, a day late and always short good jobs.

I pulled myself out of bed on Sunday morning after the late WVU Cactus Bowl win, retrieved my Sunday Gazette-Mail and couldn't Smell the Coffee. Miss you Karin!

Due to ongoing changes in the construction industry, union carpenters are required to continue their education by becoming certified in various aspects of their trade. We are highly skilled craftsmen, and we strive to better ourselves through training and hard work. Know the facts before you say we are paid "a big hourly wage" and stop criticizing union workers.

It has taken 80 years for the Democrats to put West Virginia where it is, last in everything. If the last legislative session was any indication of what's to come it will only take the Republicans about two to three years to finish the job.

You all bawled about the warm weather in December so all together now. It's too cold!
