THANK YOU Mr. Guthrie. I read your letter and you spoke for so many people. I have never been afraid of living in this country than I am now and I don’t know how to stand up and fight for what this country was made of. I feel there is no point when our leadership won’t even hear what the citizens want.

I appreciate your words so very much!

God bless the USA

What an incredible letter- you voiced my feelings and so many other Americans perfectly in your letter to Ms. Polosi. Thank you for taking the time and effort to do this, and thank you for your service to our country. God bless you, and God Bless America!
Sharon from Wisconsin on August 24th, 2009 15:40

Thank you Mr. Guthrie for your service to our country – both in Viet Nam and now with your eloquent letter to Pelosi. As you know, you represented many Americans with your letter. May God bless America and may God bless you!

Thank you, Mr. Guthrie. It’s too bad the hop-heads of California keep re-electing her. She’s just one more reason we need term limits.
Dave on August 26th, 2009 10:20

I also thank you for the truthful comments, unfortunately your focus was much to narrow. It should have been addressed to Congress in general. I totally agree with every point you made and I also served during Vietnam and will remember until my last breath Jane Fonda embracing the enemy.

Dear Mr. Guthrie,

Your letter to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is a typical response from a republican jerk attorney like you.

Your letter, dated August 11, 2009, has no substance other then hates rhetoric being promoted by your Republican allies. To dissect your letter for intelligent dialog, all the reader finds the following hate allegations of Speaker of The House Nancy Pelosi,
You are despicable, un-American, disgrace, traitor, socialist, Marxist and so on.

Your letter makes Joseph Goebbels, Minister of Propaganda for Nazi Germany an armature. By the way, the definition of propaganda is a co coordinated attempt to influence public opinion by your warped mind. You suggested that Speaker Pelosi read
Several books. It is apparent that you must have read Hitler’s book Mein Kampf and was
Obsessed by chapter IV on the subject of propaganda as a weapon.

You made the point that you served in the army along with your son, big deal, so did millions of men and women giving you the right to be a hate monger and a disciple of
Joseph Goebbels. You represent the face of the the Republican Party kooks.

Your lawsuit against your brother and mother is interesting reading, especially your dereliction of duty to assist in your mother’s financial dilemma. You let your sister
Do what you, the son, should have done. But you will take your cut of $250,000.
Court Case reference #10a010703

You’re truly great American Congressman Charles Rapper Jonas, known as Mr. Republican, sure doesn’t live up to your present Republican Senator John Ensign,
Governor Sarah Palin and Governor Mark Saunders, just to name a few of your fruitcakes and nuts as you described Speaker Pelosi hometown.

Mr. Guthrie, it is because of your ugly Republican hate poison that I and many American
Will embrace the Democratic Party then to surrender our country to the likes of you.

Sincerely,

Angry American on August 28th, 2009 22:37

Mr. Guthrie, very well said. I am from California and am embarrassed to say that I’m from the state where Pelosi represents. I totally agree with you, and whoever disagrees (Gagliardi) must live under a rock to not see the same things we do. I too served in the military (USMC) and I’ll tell you, I would not want to serve under this president or HIS cohorts. I’m assuming old Sam didn’t serve because he didn’t mention that he did also. And if he does now, I won’t believe him anyway because I had to ask. Mr. Gagliardi, that’s fine if you want to embrace the donkeys, obviously you don’t have the intelligence to understand what’s going on. That’s why under the Democrat’s lead, this country is going nowhere but down. Nothing but Liberal BS and socialism is waht we have to look forward to. You Gagliardi, are the one that sounds ignorant and in the dark. Pelosi, Reid and their president are nothing but a bunch of hypocrites that love to say…Do as I say not as I do! You must love to be a follower?!? military a big deal? Well you enjoy your freedoms to speak don’t you(Gag.)? Thank a vet!
Larry on August 29th, 2009 10:54

Mr. Gagliardi, you’re an idiot!
Searching for some truth on August 30th, 2009 10:14

Larry, why is Mr Gagliardi an idiot?
Is it because he has a differring opinion, or that he is taking exception to Mr Guthrie’s comments.
The problem I see with both of these letters is that there is far too much name calling, and very little factual information upon which to draw any sound conclusions. If people would only write and comment speaking to the issues, and eliminating the emotion and name calling, maybe we could really come together as nation and make some worth while decisions that would benefit us all.
cwjuhl on August 30th, 2009 14:49

An Open letter to Dennis L. Guthrie, Esq.

I read your Open Letter to Nancy Pelosi with some amusement. It was a rant devoid of substance. Your diatribe reminded me of a quote from William Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” – “Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.”

Your rather noxious diatribe on Nancy Pelosi clearly indicates that you do not understand how our form of Government was designed to work. Congresswoman Pelosi represents California’s 8th District, which includes most of the City and County of San Francisco. San Francisco, in case you’ve been living on another planet, is one of the most liberal areas in the Country. Ms. Pelosi is comparatively moderate in her views in comparison to her constituents whom have overwhelmingly elected her to the House eleven times (in every election since 1987 she has received at least 75% of the votes in her district). Ms. Pelosi in fact represents the views of her constituents far more moderately than the majority of her constituents themselves express their views. If you had even a rudimentary understanding of this Country’s legislative process, you would understand that Ms. Pelosi is doing exactly what she is responsible for doing as a member of the House. The primary purpose of the House of Representatives in our bifurcated legislative system is to represent the majority view of the citizens of the members’ districts. It is the role of the Senate to represent the broader views of the States as a whole. Ms. Pelosi is doing her job, and doing it to the satisfaction of her constituents. As a member of the House of REPRESENTATIVES, that is exactly what she is charged under our Constitution with doing. While I don’t particularly care for most of Ms. Pelosi’s views, or those of her Constituents, I can hardly find her derelict in her duties.

And while I don’t particularly care for Ms. Pelosi (she’s not the worst of the bunch and certainly not the best), I don’t entirely disagree with her comments that much of the disruptive tactics and blatantly false accusations currently coming from some groups in our society are un-patriotic. I never considered the Vietnam War protesters that visited us at Fort Bragg, including Jane Fonda, who used very similar tactics to those now employed by the fringe on the right, to be patriotic Americans. I have always considered their tactics un-American, irrespective of their message. Now, if you agree with me that the much of the disruptive, mean-spirited, slanderous and false invectives of many groups involved in the Vietnam Conflict protests to be un-American, how the HELL do you fault Pelosi for condemning similar tactics from the fringe far-right?

This brings me to another point concerning Pelosi. Ms. Pelosi’s accusations that she was not entirely informed and in fact was intentionally misled during CIA briefings on the Hill is very likely substantially accurate. I doubt seriously that any intelligence agency is going to jeopardize a clandestine operation by disclosing it to a liberal congresswoman from San Francisco. Christ, lying and misleading are part of the curriculum at McLean. No Chief of Station or Case Officer can run his station or his local agents without being adept at manipulating information. There is an oft quoted saying in McLean about dealing with Congress: “It’s always easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission.” While even I (being generally law-abiding) in the same circumstances would have been hesitant to fully brief someone like Pelosi, Ms. Pelosi’s version of the events in question is very, very likely substantially accurate.

Recently released CIA memorandum indicates that several personnel at the time had expressed concerns that they were knowingly violating U.S. law with some aspects of the program, and that there would likely be consequences later. Now when you have a minute of lucid sobriety think about it; if they were aware at the time that there was a very strong likelihood that the operation had gone out-of-bounds, do you REALLY think that they are going to go before Nancy Pelosi, of all people, and say, “We know we’re over the line on this one, but we just wanted to let you know that we’re going to continue this for a while longer.” I mean seriously Dennis; you have to be mentally retarded to think that any operative of any U.S. intelligence agency is going to fully and accurately brief a bleeding-heart liberal member of Congress with a big mouth on ongoing harsh interrogation techniques. That would be about prudent as pinning a sign on his/her back pants pocket saying “Prosecute My Ass.” Sober up Dude. Get real.

I was no fan of Ted Kennedy, but the demonizing of Kennedy by Rush and others over Chappaquiddick and his past alcohol abuse I do find just a little (well a lot) disingenuous. If the wing-nuts on the right are going to condemn people for vehicular homicide, where is the outrage over former first lady Laura Bush’s 1963 (very likely) DUI-induced accident that killed a high school classmate? Where is your outrage over Dick Cheney’s past DUI’S – two within 8 months during his draft deferments? Or Cheney’s flunking out of Yale? Or Cheney’s FIVE draft deferments? Cheney himself admitted that he had intentionally avoided military service because he had “other priorities in the ’60s than military service.” Would not FIVE draft deferments to avoid military service and Vietnam warrant labeling Cheney as a DRAFT DODGER?

I have never been able to comprehend how that drunk-ass ignorant draft dodger became not only a Secretary of Defense, but a Vice-President! ONLY the self-righteous “conservatives” would pick a leader whose own conduct was so anti-ethical. And only another drunk-ass ignorant draft dodger like Rush Limbaugh would hold Cheney up as a mentor and role model. It’s like Mussolini looking up to Hitler.

I keep wondering what Cheney’s “other priorities in the ’60s than military service” were. Then I realized that those other oh-so important priorities were drinking and driving! I seriously doubt that there has ever been anyone more quietly detested within the Pentagon and at the Army War College in Carlisle than Dick Cheney. Well, maybe Don Rumsfeld. Even silly-ass Ted Kennedy deserves more respect. He at least SERVED, however ingloriously. Would you not concede that intentionally avoiding the draft is Un-American? If you believe that it is somehow patriotic to avoid the draft, then I believe that your sense of “right and wrong” is really fucked up.

In my opinion, Ted Kennedy was an asshole and a joke for most of his life. But he was for the most part a harmless asshole. Cheney, on the other hand, has caused more devastation to this Country than a rabid Pit Bull loose in a preschool.

If you, as a self-professed decorated Veteran, can view either Dick Cheney or Rush Limbaugh with anything other than distain, then there is something SERIUOSLY wrong with your thought processes and your loyalties. No officer loyal to the uniform should EVER respect a “Chicken Hawk.” To give respect to a war monger whom actively avoided service (in combat or otherwise) is to disrespect those that did their duty when called and most especially those that gave their lives on the battlefield.

My point in bringing up Cheney, Limbaugh, and even Ted Kennedy is that if you are going to expend the energy to spew invective insults willy-nilly, at least have some objective, factual basis for doing so.

To summarize, where the hell is your head, other than up your ass?
Disgusted Citizen on August 31st, 2009 07:22

Thank you Attorney Guthrie and shame on you Mr. Gagliardi!! If only the citizens of California would wake up and vote Ms. Pelosi OUT in their next election–I truly don’t understand how anyone believes she is doing this country any good!
Heather Henry on August 31st, 2009 09:06

Well, this is another fine example of people with the right to express their opinion. Whether you are a Republican, Democrat, or whatever – hopefully you are intelligent enough to find the facts. Not solely rely on the media and people’s opinions.

I would hope that every American is asking – “Is our government truly working for We the People?” Personally I don’t think they are, but that’s my opinion. I see more and more of my hard earned paycheck going towards helping others, or bailing out this company and that company. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have a problem with helping people – I do have a problem with people that will not help themselves and expect handouts. So what’s my incentive to keep busting hump? I’ll tell you what it is – because I was raised to be responsible for myself, take responsibility for my actions, and be the best person that I can be. You can believe that I am raising my children to be the same way. My 18 year old son is currently in USAF bootcamp and I couldn’t be prouder.

Mr Guthrie,

I would love to shake your hand. Ms Pelosi is truly evil and on a war path to feed her husbands coffers and completely destroy this county. I for one would love to know her “true” motivations.

Dan,

Dear cwjuhl ;
You are definitely over the edge…….good grief – trying to read your blabble post is very similar to trying to read between the lines of the obomacarepackage.
You and The Hammer are the minority this time….. tee hee…….
Keep squarming, not the first time and wont be the last.
David Craft on September 6th, 2009 09:51

The CITIZENS of the United States have allowed congress and the Supreme Court to remove most ethics and morals from the nurturing side of our childrens lives. We are now allowing a group of morans to investigate how information was obtained from TERRORISTS who had knowledge and information that may have killed many other in this country. I really do not care what was done to these TERROISTS to protect my family from another terrorist action. God knows that treatment would have been better than Americans have received in these terrorists hands. We now have the the 3rd in line for the Presidency flying around in a cutom designed jet, costing the Americans millions, companies still laying off our friends and family members, NO JOBS BEING CREATED and a country so close to socialism it is scary. California, who American tax payers will soon be bailing out, is represented by this 3rd in line for the Presidency. This is the most liberal of all states. No basis for morals! This is where our country is headed if continuing on the same tract. We have gone from the strongest and most profitable country in the world to a country whose elected president bows to other leaders. Wakeup Americans and thank you Mr. Guthrie!
Briz on September 8th, 2009 14:22

Why is it Mr. Sammy G that anyone that disagrees with you is a jerk and ugly republican hate mongers? Did you happen notice that in Washington, the libs and the conservs are always smiling and laughing “together”? The silly games you play along with the nutcakes on the right are downright amusing. Don’t waste your energy and emotions. This country is run by one party with one agenda and they couldn’t give a rat’s ass about anyone or anything other than promoting their own agendas and interests as funded by the billions of lobbying dollars they all vie for.

I am amazed how long it took you to show the same incompetence, stupidity and arrogence that Nancy Pelosi and many of the other so called Democratic leaders show us on a daily basis. History will be witness to one of the must corrupt and ignorant administrations under the inexperiened and socialistiic Obama!
Jimmy James III on September 27th, 2009 20:34

I am a moderate Libertarian and agree wholeheartedly with Mr Guthrie. It’s not hate Dennis is expressing, it’s his sincere reaction of disgust in this woman who calls herself a public service… that is not hate. He has many reasons to be disgusted and disappointed along with many of us true and real Americans. Socialism is not American.

True Americanism embraces free enterprise as well as moral standards that are rooted in Judeo-Christian values. After all, that is what are country was founded on. If we as Christians can not force you to donate to charities of our choice through religious responsibilities, then neither can the government tell me I have to donate my hard earned money, “taxes” to pay for their socialist, communist welfare plans which are all a disguise anyway for gathering, organizing and controlling the populists vote in the country to advance their other socialist agenda.

3pn1G on October 24th, 2009 08:46

Notice the 2 pro-Pelosi letters (particularly cwhuhl and gagliardi) do some very serious, name calling with very crude inuendo and profanity. Typical far left liberals that have no integrity or moral conscience whatsoever. Plus they are completely unable to dispute Mr Guthrie’s claims.
Mr Gagliardi appears to be running as a Democratic Mayor in PA….what a lovely set of values you have! (Dog-catchers have more compassion than you!)

These guys epitomize Pelosi completely, giving Mr Guthrie’s letter more credibility than ever that the left wing is completely out of touch ! Thanks guys!

Mr Guthrie: JOB WELL DONE!
Groggie on November 8th, 2009 20:53

Mr Guthrie:
I agree with you in the main, though TRAITOR is a bit strong.

But despite your wonderful credentials ( I can relate to some as a Bronze Stqr holder and a 24 year Army veteran as officer with two Masters degrees), the credibility of your letter is clearly diminished (to me) by the misuse of the word (sic) principal instead of the correct word PRINCIPLE. Such error caused me NOT to forward it ever, for fear of forwarding bogus material.

The diminution of credibility derives principally from the fact that it is not a typo, but a basic grammar error, and one that an extremely educated person such as you should never have made, or should have picked up a proof stage (assuming this is your work).

I trust the letter is original with you and that the ideas behind the invective spread. Good luck with that.
Jerad on November 12th, 2009 19:01

Just keep listening to Glenn Beck and you will all find out what you believe. I think that the next generation of Americans will finally be able to move past the racist (yes, I said you guys are racist), unthinking, and hypocritical far-right Republican “base”. You guys are a joke. Take a breath, THINK, and do something instead of complaining. How many of you are volunteering in your community, or tutoring at-risk youh, or finding ways to improve the world we live in. You have to ask yourself, “If all I do is tell what I believe is wrong, what does that say about me?” You are a bunch of vampires feeding off negativity. Grow up and realize you lost the last election. Not McCain or Palin, YOU. Nobody wants to listen to hate-filled words anymore. You fail at life.
outsider on November 13th, 2009 08:48

Mr. Guthrie,

You may want to read Ms. Palin’s book and perhaps reconsider what you’ve already said.
Linda M. Gleason on November 13th, 2009 13:10

Attorney Guthrie: Thank you so much for the letter to Pelosi. I have written to her and my senator Reid, all to no avail.

I was beginning to lose hope that we TRUE AMERICANS would ever be heard and maybe if more people like you, with your credentials, speak out our voices will be heard one day. I do not agree with any of this administrations bills or plans for a Marxist nation.

I believe that TARP should be spellled TRAP, CARP should be CRAP and Cap and Trade should be flushed along with the Obama and Pelosi so called health care plan. If that makes me an angry American, I am.
BSF on November 17th, 2009 13:09

Mr. Guthrie,

I read your letter to Nancy Pelosi, and I agree with your sentiments entirely. As for those who disagree, well they are probably the idiots that voted for her in the first place. I too await her removal from office. I just hope she and her counterparts do not destroy this country in the mean time.

Thank you for serving our country and doing what you do!

A fellow veteran!
nellie on November 19th, 2009 09:04

I do agree with most of Mr. Guthries statements. I work in education and see first hand what the liberals do for the system. We have students who are on welfare, not willing to work hard to get ahead, always getting things for free (lunch, books, and other fees) always expecting a hand out and not realing caring about thier education. Why should they care, they are doing just fine the way they are. Maybe the left should work on putting many of these people to work cleaning up roads, neighborhoods, rivers and working a little bit for what they get. This would create some jobs and teach many that you have to work for your rewards just like I do. I don’t mind giving my tax dollars to those in need, but I don’t like it to be taken.
moebbc on November 20th, 2009 10:04

sad to think some want to go back to mccarhyism. first off pelosi never called any american,,,un american. you people cannot even get your facts straight. its sickining to see such hate based on false statements and right wing hate rhetoric. i’m amazed anyone can agree to this trash. sometimes i’m ashamed to admit i was a republican at one time. such hate is not what this country needs.
Ken on November 20th, 2009 14:36

Thank you Mr Guthrie….politically correct speech may impress most libs, however, you like most conservatives know that getting straight to the bottom line is much more effective. I find it difficult to believe that there are so many blind sheep in our great Nation….no minds of their own, just “THE PARTY” to tell them what, when and where. Irregardless of party affiliation, even the brain dead among us knows that Polosi, Reid, Frank, Clinton, and Obama are a very destructive force to our great Nation. It must very difficult for these sheep to vote for someone they know NOTHING about, then rather than admit their mistake, they blindly continue to support thier mistake while our Nation suffers! Thank you for your great service to us all, past , present, and hopefully a long productive future. You are truely a great American.
Opie on November 21st, 2009 18:26

Mr. Guthrie-

Your letter is extremely childish and won’t accomplish anything other than adding to the already crude political discourse in this country. Your letter does not cite even one fact that supports your argument or position. I certainly hope your court briefs are better written than this diatribe. Where was your letter to George Bush or Dennis Hastert when they lied us into war, legislated the largest expansion of government and the greatest assault on individual rights in this countries history, and bankrupted the treasury? All of that was OK with you but now a woman and a “negro’ are running the plantation and your writing sophomoric letters. Why does that not surprise me?
W.E. Mason on November 30th, 2009 07:04

Mr. Guthrie,
I am a university professor of seventeen years after teaching in public school and community college. I want to express my gratitude to you for your candor, honesty, but most of all for your courage to be the spokesman for so many of us in the trenches of every day life in our great nation.

I have read the response of some of your critics, and the harsh name calling and profanity is simply an indication of their inility to debate with intelligent speech. However, you are the one, according to your critics, who speaks with hate. The liberals can speak hate and spew profanities, but a conservative is filled with hate when he/she speaks the truth.

Your service to our nation proves your patriotism and certainly gives you the right to speak out on issues that are so dear o all of us who love the U.S.A. I can imagine that your critics have no such prior service in protecting their rights and all American’s rights to free speech. Yet they are the ones who “yell” the loudest. You used the right terminology in you letter to describe such

My Lord says you know them by their fruits. You labelled them right.

From one who respects you and appreciates your letter to Nancy Pelosi.

Democtratease on December 2nd, 2009 11:56

Interesting that those who so thoroughly agree with his diatribe ignore his historical distortions and other errors. He offers no evidence to support his hate.
Bill on December 10th, 2009 11:58

Another Right wing idiot! Too bad his resume isn’t a reflection of his intelligence. I was particularly impressed with his Boy Scout merits!!

This guy was involved in politics at six years old?? Yeah, right.

He says he’s voted for both parties, yet praises the only Republican mentioned and condemns the only two Democrats mentioned. Impartial you think??

I’ll bet this guy registers for Medicare at 65 – a Socialist program, as he calls it. By the way, his reference to Socialism and Marxism reveals his lack of knowledge on the subject because nobody in today’s Administration or in Congress represents these beliefs.

All Representatives in Congress make the same money, $174,000 (2009). All Speakers of the House make the same, too – $223,500, so Guthrie’s comment about Pelosi making a fortune on “public service” is lame.

Just what is the legislation that enhanced Pelosi’s investments???

His mention of her “..riding around in your government provided luxury executive jet…” is stupid because both parties use it and have since 9-11.
http://www.factcheck.org/askfactcheck/did_nancy_pelosi_order_up_a_200-seat.html
http://www.snopes.com/politics/pelosi/jet.asp

Guthrie only exposes his intolerance of homosexuals with his comment for her “to return to the city of fruitcakes and nuts.”

The canned tuna and pineapple crap went around before and it’s also a lie.
http://www.factcheck.org/askfactcheck/did_nancy_pelosi_get_wage_breaks_and.html

The un-American protesters Pelosi was talking about were those who opposed health care reform by spreading lies about it. Meaning, lying is un-American, just as it is un-Christian. Guthrie defends health care reform protesters under ‘freedom of speech,’ but slams Vitenam war protesters. What a hypocrite!

I really doubt Guthrie was ’spit on’ by any war protester and he makes a stupid assumption that Pelosi supported people like that. And to say she calls Vietnam vets un-American? What a total jerk.

And, if “…the majority of people of this formally great country” considered her to be un-American, she wouldn’t be in office.

It’s amazing that so many people can read Guthrie’s drivel and just assume it’s all true.
Disgusted and ashamed on January 12th, 2010 07:16

Mr. Guthrie,
I normally don’t post to things of this nature but I think it’s time the American people stand up and take our country back. I agree with you totally about Nancy Pelosi and the many others of that realm who steal from our people daily. What a self appointed princess she thinks she is! If I were her I don’t think I’d be able to show my face in public knowing how she rapes the American people every day along with countless others, all in the scheme of politics. My politics doesn’t matter, it’s called morals and caring about our fellow Americans. I’m tired of someone telling me I can’t pray in public, my grandkids can’t pray in school, or I can’t do this in fear of offending someone else’s religion. To hell with that thought. Our country was founded on Christian faith and why do we have to learn another language or worry about offending someone? We speak English here—learn it! This is our country. If they are offended, go home! Go back to where your way of life makes you happy. Why are you here? We don’t go to another country and demand they change their religion or language to accommodate us, not that we would. Wake up Americans! We don’t want to be a socialist country. We want our freedoms and we want to make our own choices, not have something forced on us. Read Revelation and think about the “mark of the beast”. Are we coming to that? I truly wonder. In ending, my hats off to you, Mr. Guthrie. I’d love to meet you personally. We don’t like to speak out in fear of repercussion but we’ve sat back way too long in thought that something good will happen. I see our country going down the tubes fast!

Take care, this administration can’t be out of office quickly enough.
Beverly on February 3rd, 2010 07:35

Thank you! Thank you, Sir … for speaking up for so many Americans!!! We are so SICK of this administration!!! I have never felt so scared for America and its citizens than I do now. We are advancing toward Socialism.
Bill on February 3rd, 2010 14:21

Snopes and Truth or Fiction both said this letter was actually written by Guthrie, but neither site commented on the truth of its content. Both sites do, however, refute some of his claims, as cited below. Too bad his resume isn’t a reflection of his intelligence. I was really impressed with Guthrie’s Scouting triumphs!!
And, he was involved in politics at six years old?? Yeah, right.

He says he’s voted for both parties, yet praises the only Republican mentioned and condemns the only two Democrats mentioned. Impartial you think??

I’ll bet this guy registers for Medicare at 65 – a Socialist program, as he calls it. His reference to Socialism and Marxism simply reveals his lack of knowledge on the subject because nobody in today’s Administration, or in Congress, represent those beliefs.

“…much of your fortune being made as a result of your ‘public service’” is a ridiculous statement unless he’s condemning the whole House because all Representatives make the same wage, $174,000 (2009). All Speakers of the House make the same, too – $223,500. http://usgovinfo.about.com/od/uscongress/a/congresspay.htm

Just what is the legislation that enhanced Pelosi’s investments???
If he’s referring to the canned tuna and pineapple comment he mentions later, that lie was debunked a year ago:

It’s amazing that so many gullible people can read Guthrie’s drivel and assume it’s all true.

And lastly, a conservative is someone who is against change…..a pretty dumb attitude in this ever-changing world.

I hope this makes it back to the person who started it.

Beverely,
We love this administration because the U.S is now moving in the right direction

To a true Democracy and not to a no way party.

Mr. Guthrie,
In you’ur letter you stated our country is headed to a socialistic government. You also stated that you are apporaching your 65th birthday. Please stand by your convictions and do not sign up for medicare, a goverment run insurance program.Something you consider a socialist government program.

Why shouldn’t he register for Medicare? Given his accomplishments I’ll bet he paid 10x what he’ll take out of it.

Chuck Juhl, I hope your consulting is better than your politics. Total nutjob!
Bill what are you three? Spitting was one of the more mild forms of protests those cowards performed.

I have to say that most of the posts from both sides are disturbing to me. Mr. Guthrie set the tone for this hateful round of name-calling with his foolish, generally unsubstantiated rant. While I personally think the replies in opposition have been more intelligent and thoughtful that Guthrie’s letter, but they too dip into the sort of hyperbolic insults that serve more to alienate everyone than to attract anyone.

This is why I strive to remain registered to neither party and will not buy into considering myself a “liberal” or a “conservative” a “lefty” or “righty”. I’ve done both. In my twenties (this was in the 1960’s) I hung on every word from William F. Buckley and subscribed to everything conservative. Ten years later (alienated by the Nixon administration as well as some of our countries social trends, I swung to the left.

As a life-long capitalist, I’m still pretty entrenched in the idea of preserving free markets and balanced budgets. For virtually everything else I’m totally turned off by the behavior of people who take sides with political parties or ideologies. They all seem to descend into the kind of irrationality that is so disgustingly displayed on this thread, beginning with Guthrie’s letter.

Whatever any of you think of Nancy Pelosi, making her a scapegoat for your many frustrations is just stupid and completely unproductive.

Get real folks.

Dear Mr. Guthrie , I would like to thank you for your service to this once great country. You have eloquently put into words how most of us in this country feel about Ms. Pelosi and the rest of the folks in DC who are suppose to be serving us. I have referred to Ms. Pelosi for some time as a traitor and I truly believe she is a traitor. The only one she serves in Washington is herself and her million dollar cronies. Thank you Mr. Guthrie for speaking on behalf of the patriots in the country! Look forward to hearing more from you. The pen is mightier than the sword! God Bless, Perry M. Lorence

Perry,
Guess what? You and Mr. Gunthrie do not speak for the truly American patriots in this country, you represent the right wing conservative craizes that are destorying our great country. Do us all a favor migrate to another country.
To my amazment, I do not understand why the good citizens of Chariotte
do not boycott Attorney Gunthrie”s law firm for his offensiive disregard
for equal justice for all citizens? According to his letter it appears he is nothing but a bigot and unworthy to repesent his clients in a unbiase i fair legal defense.. Good riddens Attorney Gunthrie,you cast a black mark on the good citizens of Chariotte.

I took the time to look at the 889 recipients of bronze stars and Dennis L. Guthrie’s name does NOT appear on it. I wonder how much other information about him does not exist or is unreal. If anyone can find what the bronze star was awarded for, please let us know.

Without Christ….There Never Was America! Don’t Be Decived……

Here are two translations incase you can’t understand one or the other…The point..Last Days…Like it or not HE is Coming…Believe it or Not…He is coming…Don’t Miss it…you will never have another chance…is it really worth taking the risk?

Prepare the Way.

2 Tim 3:1-4
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
KJV

2 Tim 3:1-4
You may as well know this too, Timothy, that in the last days it is going to be very difficult to be a Christian. 2 For people will love only themselves and their money; they will be proud and boastful, sneering at God, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful to them, and thoroughly bad. 3 They will be hardheaded and never give in to others; they will be constant liars and troublemakers and will think nothing of immorality. They will be rough and cruel, and sneer at those who try to be good. 4 They will betray their friends; they will be hotheaded, puffed up with pride, and prefer good times to worshiping God.

Jaysea,
You deserve a genuine medal for exposing scum bag Dennis Guthrie for what he is, a phony, associating himself with true american heroies that honorably
deserve the bronze star. Guthrie must be suffering from a mental disorder called
delusions of grander.
Donald on March 10th, 2010 19:06

Mr. Guthrie,

You brought a lot of the LIBERAL IDIOTS out of their MORON CAVES. Nancy Pelosi is a SOCIALISTS LIBERAL. >>>>>A REVOLVING IDOIT<<<<<<. So the people that keep voting for her must have the same intelligence. They may have education but have NO COMMON SENSE.

DW,
It takes an idiot like you to known an idiot..I guess you pocess god like powers
like most right wing Repulicans to look down their noses and feel you are
the moral fiber of this country.How wrong you are a- –hole.Take a look in your mirror and see the image of a jackass.
BAR on March 11th, 2010 19:06

Regardless of whether you’re Republican or Democrat, if you truly believe N. Pelosi is working for your best interest, stick your head back in the sand and watch this country go from great to nothing.
gravel on March 13th, 2010 14:05

Bar,
Took my head out of the sand and determined that Speaker Nancy Pelosi of the House of Represenatives will be named one of the greatest Speakers of the House because of her leadership during our nations trouble of troubled times caused by the prior Republican Administration. Better yet, check your local
representative for his or her effectiveness in congress and if they are the party of no, vote them out of office.
