Rants and Raves for July 1

Both parties

“Mr. Psalmond, I read your letter to the editor. And I particularly noted that this time you blame the Republicans and the Democrats for many of our problems. And yes, there’s enough blame to spread across both parties.



Barbaric nations

“I read about the Somali incidents where the young thieves had their hands and feet hacked off out in the streets. My first thought was not about how such action is a deterrent to crime but rather that we send troops into barbaric countries like this and sacrifice our young soldiers. What a shame!



Check around

“Health care professionals are some of the highest paid people in the community. Before you complain about not getting raises, you might want to check around with some other folks who don’t even have jobs anymore.



Bicycles

“You’re right, bicycles are supposed to go with the flow of traffic. And unless I’ve misunderstood the issue, they also are not supposed to travel on the sidewalks.



Crime

“Another armed robbery. This is getting to be a routine in Moultrie. And look at all the thefts over the weekend. And our crime rate is supposed to be down? It doesn’t seem that way to me.



Filiming

“Forget filming people who leave shopping carts in parking space, how about all the police eating at the same place at the same time. Maybe the crocks know where they are, so they can steal the citizens of Moultrie blind. Yea, Yea, they have to eat. I eat breakfast before I leave home.



Jackson

“Michael Jackson has more coverage because he is known around the world. He was great in the world of entertainment. The other one was only known on from a television show. Michael has been a great star until his mind begin to fail him. Plus his childhood caused a lot of mental stress that brought him down from stardom. Get over it and worry about something that is important or don't watch the coverage.



No minority

“ C.A. Gray will have three assistant principals and not one of those are a minority. With the make up of the school, there should be someone other than the Principal be a minority. Wake up, I am sure there are qualified minorities in and out of the Colquitt County School System.



Question

“Did you complain about the coverage when it was Elvis who died?

    Remember back in the early sixties when people were digging bomb shelters in fear of the “Big One” being dropped on us? I recall how an alarm would go off at school, and we would get under our desks. What a joke! Get under our desks when one entire wall was glass!

  • Outpouring of love

    Dear editor:
    What words can be added to so many that have been said in prayer and praise for our Haley?  We have witnessed an outpouring of love and sacrifice for our families, and we truly cannot express our feelings of humility and gratitude.

  • Were we really shocked by the half-time cheap shot?

    There’s an old saying, “Go to bed with dogs, wake up with fleas.”

  • Honor sacrifices

    Dear editor:
    When the Declaration of Independence was signed, we as a Country, The United States of America, were declaring our Freedom and Liberty.

  • What's at stake here?

    Dear editor
    It looks like one of my worst fears is about to happen. With President Obama’s withdrawal of all American troops from Iraq it appears the democratic government we set up in Iraq is getting ready to come apart.  The Shiites and Sunnis are at each others throats and the Kurds and Turkey are already shooting at each other. Iran seems to be paused to take up the vacuum we will be left and obtain a nuclear weapon. In 2007 the Democrats were clamoring for President Bush to get our troops out of Iraq.

  • Dwain Walden.jpg Hold the parsley — Give me the food

    Occasionally I will watch one of those food shows on cable television. I find them more curious than I do entertaining. And sometimes, with only 100 channels at my disposal, I have to settle for curious.

  • 'No' to incumbents

    Dear editor:
    Joe Biden came to Cowtown (Ft. Worth) to raise funds for his boss Obama. Picked up $125,000 from some "Fat Cat" liberals, part of the millionaire's raising Obama's teleprompter fund to over $225 million.

Poll

Should candidates for county positions have to run for a party's nomination?

No. Political parties are meaningless at this level.
Yes. It helps voters know where they stand on issues.
With all the problems the state's facing, this is a non-issue.
