Liberals get a rebuttal from a conservative

How amusing to read Ms. Aschenbrenner's letter complaining about another person's inaccurate statement when most every letter she writes is inaccurate, void of promises and full of wild assumptions based on fear and anecdotal evidence.

In the April 10 Acorn, she proudly announced her "personal vow to never complain to the Acorn again" then proceeded to break her own promise.

On Aug. 14, she wrote another complaining letter, again filled with her usual anecdotal evidence.

In April, she flagrantly declared that "Clinton is the first woman to run for this prestigious office" and admits her absurd fear of becoming "a Big Brother, right wing run church state" has passed. Last year she wrote she taught school: Is this what she teaches? What would your husband's college roommate think?

Regarding Terry Staler's alternative energy letter: Terry, your view isn't enlightened; it's based in denial. Alternative energies are fine, but they only make up singledigit percentages of the country's energy use and most have to be subsidized to be effective. That fact isn't changing anytime soon and may never.

Meanwhile Al Gore, who has earned millions scaring you and the children, along with his multimillion dollar ad campaign, is heavily invested in alternatives- a clear conflict of interest!

Your emotional letter assumes, as Gore does, that people demanding proof must be energy and natural resource wasters. You beautifully and sadly proved my main point- - that curiously the solutions always limit our freedoms and raise taxes. It's sad how easily so many are anxiously willing to give up their freedoms based on fear, empty facts and hypocritical spokesmen, and elitistly dictate to others how they should live. As the UK is already learning, taxes are coming as soon as they figure out how much you'll put up with. Mike Di Fatta Thousand Oaks
