Dear editor:

As usual some people took my message the wrong way, (God bless you).

If God has no place in our government or the founding of our nation why in his name on so many things. They are on our money, courts, monuments, there is even a minister hired to offer a pray in congress and the senate. Our fore fathers expressed their faith in God.

Now that being said. There has always been a prayer offered at the beginning of sporting events, at meetings, at schools, and any event when we call upon the Lord to watch over us or others for as long as we have been a country.

Why is it that if you believe in another religion or do not believe in anything you don't respect the believes of the majority of the people in this country? The old saying "when in Rome" comes to mind. If before a meeting in Iran a holy man says a prayer it’s'ok with me, before a game, before a camel race, it’s still ok with me. So for this is our country.

This being politically correct is so infantile it is sometimes funny. The ACLU should be disbanded in this country. They cause more conflict than any other group, they are minority run and controlled. The majority is what is supposed to rule in this country.

God help America.

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.

Free trees for you
Dear editor:
Moultrie is such a beautiful town and one of the reasons is our wonderful trees. From the courthouse to the residential areas and throughout the county, we are surrounded with a marvelous array of magnificent trees and forests.

Feds can't fix it
Dear editor:
Ten years ago, the federal government, Republicans and Democrats, passed the “No Child Left Behind” program. This program was billed as a fix-all for our education system. Now, 10 years later, the same people label the program a failure.

Cotton and philosophy on the roadside
One can go to a very expensive college and pay a bundle of money taking philosophy classes, or he can just keep his eyes open and be alert to his surroundings and collect quite an array of thought provoking ideas.

Will it happen here?
Dear editor:
When America was young, a famous political philosopher from France visited our country to try to find out the secret of her greatness. (Yes, America was great. She supplied many other nations with money, just as she’s still doing today — nations who hate us and are slowly taking over our country).
