I don't see any blasts by anyone. Anyone else involved in the editorial page is gone and I handle it now, and I've made no blasts at Santorum now or then. If you have to dig two years back at something that's somewhat strange. Bob -----Original Message----- From: John D Groenveld [mailto:jdg117@elvis.arl.psu.edu] Sent: Thursday, November 19, 2009 10:33 PM To: Letters, CDT - State College Cc: jdg117@elvis.arl.psu.edu Subject: letter to the editor In the Centre Daily Times' October 24, 2007 edition, the editors lambasted Penn State alumnus, Rick Santorum, for having the audacity to challenge students and faculty to face the threat from Islamo-fascists. The editors viewed his speech divisive and with the most high-minded rhetoric likened Santorum to a donkey's posterior. The editors surely demonstrated their tremendous wits. However, in light of the Fort Hood massacre by Soldier of Allah, US Army Major Nidal Hasan, I wonder what the CDT has done in the past two years of teachable moments to help prepare Town and Gown for the threat from the jihadist 5th column. If defending us from terrorism and the assault on our liberal values by Islamists, is above your pay grades, perhaps you can ask Santorum's successor in the Senate, Bob Casey, Jr. what he's been doing to strengthen the homeland, when he's not protecting ACORN.
