Perspective

“I’m relatively new to Moultrie and Colquitt County. I just want to say I love this community and I love this Rants and Raves column. Having taught American history, I relish community newspapers which I consider to represent t he very heart of our country — real people who pay taxes, go to church, maybe drink a little beer and fish off the bridge. I know some people think that the comments that appear here are ridiculous. I would say, go back and study your history and appreciate this forum.

Applause

“Having moved to Moultrie from a much larger city, I enjoy reading about our local sports and the issues that surround them. I want to applaud your sports editor Wayne Grandy for the great job he does in highlighting and uplifting our youth in this venue. Great job guys!

Front pages

“Why all the negative news on the front pages of The Observer lately. How can we get people to move here when you feed them home invasions and robberies consistently? Oh I get it, you are just trying to sell newspapers.

Obama

“Don't blame President Bush for these wars! He is not the President anymore. Obama is President and he said that he would stop the war and what has he done? Sent more troops over to fight and die. Why? Because that is what is keeping those people over there and away from our country again. And I don't hate Obama. I want him to succeed because if he fails then we all fail.

Codes?

“Are the new storage units on Veterans Parkway and behind Applebee's in the city limits? If they are, I thought you could not put metal buildings inside of the City Limits.

Addictions

“ Moultrie is full of drug addicted people who have to support their habits. So be very careful and secure your belongings as best as you can.

Gangs, drugs

“When will the police realize that Moultrie has a gang and drug war going on? Please don't think it is marijuana they are fighting over. What you have here is the drug cartel recruiting in Moultrie.

Mr. Jones Rocks

“Mr. Jones rocks. I went to the high school from 2002-2005 and I agree with Mr. Jones and some of the things that happened at the high school and within the football program.

I have seen and heard about teachers dating students which is not right and I don't agree with the helmets and uniforms changes either. Just because some do, don't mean everyone is behind it.

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.
