In response

“Oh now there’s a bright idea! Some kid swipes a pack of smokes. Let’s cut off a hand and a foot out on the courthouse square. Why heck, let’s sell tickets and concessions! I knew someone would suggest that we ought to do like they do in Somalia. Boy’s there’s a poster child for humanitarian prowess and social progress. It’s a good thing that ignorance, like some viruses, isn’t airborne.

Beware

“If you come onto my property to steal my things, I will shoot you. That’s not a threat that’s a promise.

Don't understand

“While in the local store, I noticed several different things, one almost every hispanic had a cell phone or they were at the department to purchase one. Then while checking out, I had a line of Hispanics in front of me, almost everyone used a food stamp card,then completed their purchase with a pile of cash out of their pockets.

I can't afford a cell phone, I don't make enough to purchase one and buy groceries. And I don't qualify for any help. But I don't have money the day of my payday because I have to pay bills. I just don't understand the American way anymore.

Thanks

“Thank you Mr. Richard C. Monglére for your thoughtful response to Mr. Psalmond's letter. You saved me the effort of having to craft one myself. It seems that Mr. Psalmond's is the one who needs to read the Constitution.

He is apparently under the impression that a person must believe in his God or they should leave the country. Beware of those who claim to have the ‘one true religion’.

A reminder

“To Mr. Psalmond. Just a reminder. Don’t forget who laid most of the rails across our great country. They were Chinese coolies. Please do not forget that our nation is great because we have a diversity of thought and religion. I am a Christian. I have friends who are of other faiths. Some are Jewish. Some are agnostics. Some are atheists. They are good friends and good people. I will not seek to force my faith on them nor will I condemn them.

Qaulified

“I think qualifications should be the guideline for leadership in our schools. If they happen to be minority, that’s just fine. I want ability and performance.

Deserve it

“Healthcare professionals deserve what they make an hour mainly due to the fact that Healthcare is very much abused this day and time due to the government!

Those people deserve their raises. Shame on CRMC for not giving cost of living raises and buying expensive property!

The sky is falling! The sky is falling!
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.

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.
