Rant and Rave for 3/30/12

MOULTRIE — Observation

“An observation: To you young guys who are painted from head to toe with tattoos, wear your caps turned sideways, trying to grow beards when it looks like mange ... do you really think you will ever be employable? It’s not just the physical appearance but the obvious law grade mentality that goes with it. Guys, there just aren’t that many biker shops hiring and who wants to eat hamburgers that you cook? Clean up!"

Check facts

“Check your facts. Mr. Bush spent about half as much in eight years as Mr. Obama has spent in three years. The economy did not start to go south untill the second presidential term of Mr. Bush when the Democrats regained control of Congress. Mr. Bush had no trouble winning his second term."

Morally wrong

“Is it morally right to take from one and give to another? No matter how you wrap it, theft is theft. Taxes are a form of theft. Welfare is funded by taxes. Welfare is morally wrong. It is the duty of those who believe in charity to provide for the needy. Two wrongs don't make a right..."

In response

“I think Mr. Driver did a wonderful job with his article. Mr. Edwards may need to read just a little slower. He did not say everyone on food stamps was lazy.  I witness a lot of people on foodstamps who do not deserve them. My mother worked all her life and when she was old and needed help she could get no help at all. If people get them that don't work and can, let them clean the roads or whatever is needed to pay for their stamps. I also know people still sale stamps for money and buy meat for dog food. Keep up your good work Mr. Driver, the majority thinks you are right on the money."

Comparison

“Gas was below $2.00 before George W. left office and has only risen since. Lets not forget that President Obama's massive spending has caused the deficit to surpass the deficit created during Bush's administration, in less than half the time. Nothing could be better than getting Obama out of the White House."

Norman Park

“Enough of this national news. Can someone please tell me why Norman Park has an Urban Development Authority or Downtown Development Authority? I see some things going on, but can Norman Park ever get back on its feet?"

In response

“Hey ‘Disgusting’ you should try cold fried mullet and hot sauce for breakfast. It's great."

Rabid animal

“I’ve been watching Santorum and Mitt going at it. Santorum reminds me of a rabid animal. I thought Republicans were so inherently good that they could never see such great faults in one of their own. But then I realize, it’s kill or be killed politics."

  • Great performance

    Dear Editor,
    You don't have to live in New York, Paris or London to experience world-class cultural events. You can do that right here in Moultrie, Georgia.

  • Tribute to my dad

    Dear editor:
    Growing up in South Georgia every little girl thinks of their daddy as their prince; I am no different. And I believe his years of sacrifice, dedication and unconditional love for me is a story worth telling.

  • dwain walden.tif Oh joy! The Turtle Man will return

    Great news! The Turtle Man is coming back for another season on television!
    And yes, I’m being a little facetious here. It’s a ridiculous show, but apparently it’s entertainment for some people.

  • The kind of stuff that happens in dictatorships

    Distrust of government secrecy has been elevated to an exceptional level with the disclosure the Justice Department covertly examined two months of Associated Press phone records to determine who leaked details to the AP about a foiled terrorist plot.

  • dwain walden.tif And would you like fries with that?

    Most of us have seen the Chick-fil-A signs that urge us to “eat more chicken.” So would you ever expect to see one that says, “eat more crickets?”

  • Something to enjoy

    Dear editor,
    On Sunday I had the pleasure of witnessing an Atlanta Braves game up close and in person.  I have been to a Braves game before but every time always feels like the first.

Should the Boy Scouts accept gay members and/or leaders?

No. Homosexuality goes against Scouting's moral foundation.
Allowing youth members is OK, but not leaders.
Yes. Stop discriminating and allow both.
