Foolish

“The Mexican-Jewish analogy was foolish. I don't think that the Jews drove around drunk or burdened Germany's health and education systems.

Old testemant

“So Mr. Olmstead wants us to live under Old Testament law. Does that mean we can bring back slavery and polygamy? After all, those laws were never repealed in the Bible. Just out of curiosity, I wonder if he would eat a piece of bacon?

What happened

“What happened to the 3-2 and 2-1 ballgames Coach McCranie predicted they were going to win? It seems like the Coach overestimated his talent. Maybe he cut too many good players during tryouts.

In response

“For the ranter:who wanted to know why the police don’t ask for green cards? The answer is simple. On July 1, 2007, Senate Bill 529 went into effect in Georgia, requiring local governments to enforce federal immigration law and preventing undocumented immigrants from working and receiving public benefits...

The Georgia law calls for local police to be trained in enforcing immigration law while doing routine duties such as traffic stops..Immigrant rights advocates say this will lead to more racial profiling.

Carter

“Jimmy Carter is trying to redeem himself and his failed presidency. He should stick to building houses for low-income families. His time for politics is over. He is a has-been or a never-was.

Arts Center

“Thank you so much for the continued front page coverage of the Art Center activities. I have been to many galleries and museums in America, Europe and Mexico. The Moultrie Arts Center ranks among the best I've seen. Folks take an hour or so and visit this special place.

You will be a better person afterward. Bring the kids.

For the students

“To those of you who were late to the Grand March and weren't admitted, don't you know how to tell time? Most parents of seniors were there half an hour early, not half an hour late. Do baseball games, football games, or movies wait for you to show up before they start? Besides, the Grand March was for the students, not the spectators.

The firing

“After reading about the firing of the Colquitt County shop supervisor, Charlie Carr in Saturday's paper. I believe Mr. Byrd wanted to fire Billy Herndon, But instead he fired Charlie Carr because he could! Isn't that abuse of power? Shame on you, Mr. Byrd and all the commissioners!

Life is a matter of perspectives; think about it
My friend, a city boy, was yelling for help. We were fishing on a river, and he had ventured over to another spot.
“Someone help! I’m cornered!” he yelled.

We better wake up
Dear editor:
Have our GOP representatives gone to sleep or are they refusing to act for the people they are supposed to represent? The Obama administration has contracted a Spanish company called SCYTAL, to tabulate the 2012 November presidential election.

May God bless my Uncle Henry
My uncle once noted on his return from a fishing trip that he caught so many fish he couldn’t put them all in one pile.
That’s how I feel trying to keep up with all the causes and organizations that either require support groups or else they comprise support groups.

A kind humanity
Dear editor:
Humanity. One word. That word can translate into many other words. Some would say humanity is dark, greedy and bent on world domination. Others may say humanity is sweet, kind and caring. I myself witnessed a small part of a loving, caring humanity the other day.

Why it's a bad tax
Dear editor:
In regards to the Transportation TSplost Tax: The statement, “Economic development suffers if we don’t pass this tax” is not a valid statement, because Georgia has always been behind the 8 ball in regards to transportation, but yet look at the growth we have experienced; being behind in transportation didn't hinder economic growth. Georgia now ranks 11th in the country as of 2010 and this occurred mostly since 1995. The economic vitality of Georgia is alive and well considering the slump the country is in.
