People should be allowed to carry concealed handguns on college campuses, but not for the reason you might think.

This is in response to Mr. McCormick’s letter to the editor published on Feb. 27.

The argument one hears most often for not enforcing illegal immigration laws is that we can’t deport the estimated 12 million people already in this country.

I vaguely recall an editorial column by the outspokenly ignorant individual Ken Concannon last week on the topic of education, wherein he presumptuously stated that “Brits are stupid.”

When you write for the newspaper, you learn to develop a thick skin. I am reminded of this whenever I write a column about a potentially divisive topic.

Fredy Lopez is what is wrong.

We pay taxes because when we share responsibility and pool our money together, we can afford things that we can’t pay for individually.

David Murphy wrote a letter to the editor on Feb. 6 stating that the Women’s Clinic in Manassas does more than just perform abortions.

Gary Jacobsen’s article regarding attendance at community colleges vs. four-year universities had a good point.

I moved to Northern Virginia nearly 20 years ago. Prince William County then was beautiful.

Nominations for the seventh annual America’s Best Restroom Award are being taken now through April 7 with an overall winner announced in August, if you can hold it that long.

Rainy-day fund used to combat illegal immigration?

CONCANNON FIRE

In the column by Ms. Oppenhagen she refers to the process of “regurgitating memorized facts.” That is a total misrepresentation of the traditional math approach. Students learn to add and then practice. They put the pieces together by doing it.

Davon Gray’s Feb. 25 editorial, “Forget Dulles — what about us?” recounts the misery of freezing rain gridlocking thousands of commuters at the Springfield Interchange.

I am responding to a letter dated Feb. 20, where the writer claimed I have not followed through on promises made during my campaign as they relate to the gas tax and illegal immigration.

These are some of the online reader comments to a Feb. 25 article about the Prince William County Police Department beginning a crackdown on “criminal aliens.”

News is usually serious business, even if stories have a humorous side.

It’s a dream come true for opponents of illegal immigration.

Is Sen. Charles J. “Chuck” Colgan, D-Manassas, corrupt? Well, he certainly lacks integrity.

Illegal’s are just that. Nothing more, nothing less. No one deserves a home in our country unless and until the proper procedures are complied with. 

Moods can be very mysterious things. What affects people’s moods can vary widely and even the word “mood” is sort of funny to contemplate. MOOD.

Navy veterans like myself probably did a lot of chest thumping last week when the cruiser USS Lake Erie shot down a crippled U.S. spy satellite as it fell toward earth at 17,000 miles per hour.
Ha! Let’s see the Air Force top that.

The Internet has been around for years. Gradually, it has become an integral part of almost all of our societal functions.
You would think that the government — keeper of our security — would have tried to get ahead of the Internet technology curve.

Ms. Spillane would have you believe that if we build this new school it would be the end of our wonderful Nokesville community.

Well I guess no one is learning lessons from all these random shootings that are taking place in our country.

So what in the world is wrong with new math? It is better and faster than the old way.

We don’t need a new elementary school in Nokesville.

Congratulations to Gainesville District Supervisor John Stirrup for being recognized as a “Leader Among Us” by the new national magazine, Town Hall.
