Rants and Raves for October 28

Ignorance

“To the ‘Ostrich’ who praised Obama for his being ‘awarded’ the Nobel, make a note of your statement and it' content, and refer back to it in two years.

If you still have the same opinion of him, please consider isolation from the masses, as your ignorance poses a threat to yourself and those around you.



Next election

“The current elected officials in Norman Park have 15 months before the next election's results take effect. If the citizens want their police officers back, they had better stand up and be counted real soon.



Peace prize

“ To the ranter who said President Obama deserved the Nobel Peace Price because he is a man of and symbolizes peace. Are you kidding me or do you not pay attention? Obama still has 2 wars ongoing. He promised to bring home troops from Iraq and has yet to make good on that promise.

On top of that he has already sent thousands of more troops to Afghanistan with the possibility of sending thousands more to fight yet he is a symbol of peace? What a joke. He has done nothing of value so far as President.



Windmill farms

“ Do you know that windmill farms across America are destroying our ecology? We enviromentalist wonder if backers of those farms like T. Boone Pickens know that the windmills kill thousands of migrating birds, butterflies, and bats. Pelosi, Reid, and Obama must pass a law to ban them for the sake of the enviroment.



Hush, hush

“ Why is the Board of Education so hush, hush on the problem with the teachers credit union? Put it out in the open, so people will know the truth. All I know is some money went missing. Is this true? What is being done to the person in charge?



Shameful

“ It is shameful to see and to watch a union like SEIU protest the American Bankers Association because they think they are part of the "big banks" on Wall Street that contributed to the financial meltdown last October and the current recession. Community and local banks were not the problem, but the problem solver. And I am not a banker. A lot of the problems America faces can be placed at the feet of unions and their members. Most unions and its members seriously need some business courses in accounting, corporate law, banking, finance, and economics.



Working fine

“I agree. The four-way stop seems to be working just fine on Adel Highway .

  • 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.

  • Dwain Walden.jpg 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.

  • I am saddened

    Dear editor:
    A couple of weeks ago, I attended Field Day at Sunset Elementary where my oldest daughter attends the Pre-K program. I was deeply saddened to hear that Mrs. Vicky Watson will be retiring this year.
