Rant and Rave for 11/14/12

MOULTRIE — Applause

“Congratulations to Cole Segraves for his recognition, from GHS Football Daily, of a top five, state wide performance, for his efforts last Friday night.

"Packer Pride, and outstanding team work, stands out once again."

Blame lawmakers

“Illegal immigrants receive extra items not because of your local school board but because of your elected state and federal officials. I would bet more than 85% of your school budget is spent to fulfil state and federal mandates. Don't blame school board, blame state and federal elected officials."

What is to come

“Thomas Jefferson once wrote that "I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever". You can pray for our country, our president or our way of life, but you cannot make God do your bidding.

"Personally, I do not pray for evil, since praying for a corrupt federal government and it's ilk will in fact evoke divine justice upon you and your family. So, be wary for what you pray for, you might get more than you bargained for. Instead, reflect upon our situation and do the best you can to prepare for what is to come."

Secede

“The Red states should secede and leave the blue states to be as decadent, immoral and socialist as they like, they would starve in a year."

In response

“In response to the working Christian that voted for Obama. You don't understand Christian morals or you could not vote for Obama, you may work but in bet your receive some form of Government assistance and you voted for who you think will keep your check coming. Guess what if he has his way the joke will be on you when the nation is bankrupt and your out in the cold."

Jefferson quote

“Thomas Jefferson said "The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not." That is prophetic to what is happening to this nation, electing Obama was a vote for proof of this. Maybe it is God's plan to let us perish like the Roman empire, we have rejected God and all that is moral. Like Rome we shall fall from within."

Class sizes

“How can class sizes be so large at the elementary school when some coaches and department heads .at the high school teach fewer than two periods per day? Maybe the Board of Education needs to ask some questions from our Central Office administration."

Superpacs

“Hey, isn't it nice to know that a presidential election cannot be bought by superpacs or a president elected by angry white men anymore. Incidentally, I am a happy white man. What a great country we live in!"

    I’ve often complained that instead of talking to a robot on the telephone, I would relish communication with a warm body.  Once I even spoke to a janitor who just happened to be passing by the ringing phone. He couldn’t help me with my issue, but it was comforting to know that not everyone in the building had been called in for an IRS audit.

  • Much appreciation

    Dear editor:
    On Tuesday, May 14, many graduates were honored with awards and scholarships.
    Former Colquitt County High School marketing instructor, Ron Lampman, was an additional honoree. An anonymous donor established a scholarship in Mr. Lampman’s memory.

  • dwain walden.tif Don’t forget about the camera crew

    Sometimes I think I get way too critical of TV programming to actually enjoy a show. I know going in that even on reality shows, much of it has been staged. And on dramas, so much is predictable.

  • dwain walden.tif Watch the Braves, or chase a tornado?

    I’ve often wondered how many of these “storm chasers” are scientists and how many of them are just adrenaline junkies.
