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 After all, those laws were never repealed in the Bible.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!

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).
