Conflict

“Why was the Spring Fling held on the same day of the CCHS prom? The young ladies that attended their prom couldn't compete in the beauty pageant.

It's a shame

“ It's a shame that more people won't support the Spring Fling. By my estimate there was a maximum of 200 people on the courthouse square. Shame on you, Moultrie and Colquitt County citizens.

Upset

“There should be a formal protest that the Ellenton farmworkers’ clinic is getting stimulus money. Most of the patients are illegal aliens. If you are a taxpaying citizen, you should be very upset about this.

Protesting

“So now protesting the policies of the president is unhealthy, at least according to Obama's senior advisor. I wonder what his opinion of the protests against Bush was.... I bet he never said unhealthy. Just another example of the hypocrisy of this administration.

Seek stimulus

“For those of you who suffer from water problems after heavy rains, please contact your congressman and ask them to push for stimulus money to correct the drainage problems. The time is now, don't sit back and wait for someone else to do it for you. Let’s not miss out on help for our area, especially the subdivisions that were built on swamp land.

My taxes

“Why are my tax dollars going to a clinic in Ellenton that will only give medical service to illegal aliens. This is a good example of why the tea parties are a good idea and we must vote out of office all those who support a misuse of tax dollars in this form. If the farmers want to use illegals on their farm they should pay for their medical. Not we the people .

Thanks

“This letter is way overdue. I would like to thank the Autryville Baptist Church for everything they have done for my section and me in a recent deployment to Iraq. During my last deployment the church gave us encouragement and motivation that real people care about the soldiers overseas.

They quietly offered us prayers and encouragement which I know were answered. My men felt so glad to hear from the congregation and still ask about them.

We took several casualties during this deployment and the members stepped in to write the wounded soldiers without families and bring them closer to Gods love.

I am very proud of where I come from and I am humbled by your actions.

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.
