Rants and Raves for March 26

Ball fields

“Thanks Terry Peek, the ball fields look better than they ever have.



Clean it up

“I’m a lifelong citizen of Berlin. I have never seen our town in this kind of shape. Junk cars and trailers everywhere. When Dale Williams was eleced mayor, he said he was going to clean the city up. He and others just cover up the junk now. Come on Dale, let’s clean our city of these eyesores.



Rove told him

“Karl Rove must have told Saxby that Max Cleland was playing with the grenade that took his three limbs.



Beautiful

“Take a tour through Moultrie and enjoy God’s creations. The dogwoods and azaleas are gorgeous.



What I saw

“I just watched a well-dressed middle age woman put 50 cents in the Moultrie Observer box. She went through the papers taking out what she wanted and through the rest away. She then drove away in her nice car. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.



Not Bush

“Bush didn't ruin social security a democrat did. Social Security money was set aside in a separate account in the beginning, but a Democrat President changed all that and allowed it to be used for government spending. The problem now as they spend more then comes in so that is why social security funds are in danger.



Thanks

“We were in Moultrie this past weekend to watch our Devils play against the Packers (Middle School Soccer). I want to say thank you to those men who worked the concession stand. All of them were very nice and went out of their way to serve great food with a smile. Thank you!



Entertaining

“The ad from the Tifton doctor who wants the Blue Devils’ name changed was rather entertaining. Not all of us hear and see Satanic messages just because there is a moniker of ‘devil’ attached in some way. Loosen your shorts fellow. This name has been around for a while and you won’t change it.



Combat view

“You have to understand that for a Republican to recognize a Democrat soldier and his contributions to combat, the soldier has to be charging a bunker with a machine gun in each hand, a bayonet in his teeth and a wounded soldier across his soldiers. That’s how the Republicans see it .... on television, or from a bar in Alabama.

    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.
