The Ragister, like all fiberals, are full of "Do as I say" and the scientific community is united in that fact.

It usually means means DooDoo and today was no exception.

Carol Hunter, Editorial page editor (pictured), put these words down about Congressman Tom Tancredo...

"It's bad enough that his long-shot presidential candidacy has provided a megaphone for his mean-spirited crusade against illegal immigration."

Here's his stand...

"Illegal aliens threaten our economy and undermine our culture. While our brave soldiers risk their lives to protect us overseas, our political elites lack the courage to defend us at home. I am 100% opposed to amnesty. As President, I will secure our borders so illegal aliens do not come, and I will eliminate benefits and job prospects so they do not stay."

It was just two weeks ago the Ragister penned an editorial stating...

Let's discuss immigration, but leave emotions at curb

Too much to ask from Ms. Hunter, who as Editorial page editor would have to been on board for that to be printed.

Likewise the rules the Ragister uses for readers is different too.

For Letters to the Editor...

Choose your words carefully. Letters that contain libelous or slanderous statements will likely either be edited or rejected.

For their online forums...

"...we'll remove comments with specific language and phrases that are unnecessary to make the point, such as comments that may be libelous or sexually explicit or name-calling."

"If you don't read the newspaper
you are uninformed, if you do
Read the newspaper you are
