Observation

“I think it’s funny that the Hispanics get food stamps while the caucasians do not. My mom made $11,000 one year and they said she made to much to qualify for help. Now that is the American way ... work hard and give it to those who break the law. just like the ones in jail."

A revolt

“We should have an American revolt over how illegals get benefits better than U.S. citizens. I’m talking about a march on Washington and I’m talking about rattling the cages of some lawmakers."

Ludicrous

“It’s absolutely ridiculous to say that the hospital employees don’t deserve a raise. So what if they make a lot of money and you only make a little, does that mean only you should get a raise? How about the schooling? Remember when you were in school and they said go to college to make money? They listened."

EMS salaries

“Sure, health care professionals have jobs but some are not paid accurately for their jobs. Take EMS as an example. They have someone on scene that is not breathing and they have to figure out why this person isn't breathing and figure out what they need to do to get them back breathing. They have to do this in a few seconds and their pay is probably less than most secretaries who answer phones! They deserve their raises. They get called to robberies, people not breathing, wrecks, etc."

Door mats

“If we were to cut off a limb, for every white-collar crime a person committed, we would have a bunch of ‘door mats’ running the government, and at every level; city, county, state and federal. If you watch C-span, you will see 535 potential ‘mats’ now."

Attend meetings

“The Colquitt County Board of Education will be having a work session at 6 p.m. July 13, at Vereen School. This meeting is also open to the public. Let your voices be heard. Please, start attending City Council, County Commissioner and Board of Education meeting. Stop letting a few run this Moultrie and Colquitt County."

Not wisdom

“Some people just have a need to utter something. It doesn’t mean that what they say will be intelligent. That’s why you hear stuff like ‘cutting off hands and feet of criminals.’ Let’s just say their kid got picked up on a first offense. What would their reaction be then. Saying stuff like this may illustrate frustration, but it doesn’t illustration wisdom."

Lights on!

“What's up with all the people driving around in the early morning hours with their headlights off?"

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.
