Good idea
“It’s great that the county is considering a noise ordinance. I don’t mind a low level of music being played. I just don’t want my windows rattling or my sleep interrupted. Good move.
Disaster
“I, too, am concerned about a health care bill that is 2000 pages. As far as I’m concerned, this is a disaster in the making.
In response
“Mr. Walden’s head is not in the sand. In regard to Halloween, he stated what many of us feel. It’s just a day in the fall when our kids have a little safe fun. It’s only pagan if you believe in paganism and practice it with such philosophy applied.
My system, too
“To the person who said he is prepared for a home invasion with Winchester and Remington, that’s also my feeling, except mine system uses Mossberg and Smith and Wesson.
Gangs or not
“So do we have gangs operating here or don’t we. We keep hearing conflicting reports on this issue. However, it really doesn’t matter. Cars and house being shot and homes being invaded (whatever the colors the intruders fly under) is the same. Thugs are thugs.
Hurrah!
“Hurrah for the man who caught the burglar and held him at gunpoint. It’s going to take more of this to stem the tide of thefts and lawlessness that we as a community are experiencing.
Not an answer
“Today I heard someone say that the answer to Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan is to “nuke” them. That’s a ridiculous comment that if not feasible or humane. The answer, in my opinion, is to bring our troops home, protect our borders with a great tenacity and let the other countries fight it out among themselves. I’m tired of the lives and money we sacrifice in this countries who have been fighting among themselves since the Old Testament.
Which one?
“I see we had very little interest in local politics this election. Is that because we are happy with the present crew or are we just complacent and apathetic toward the process?
Applause
“Yep, whether we win or lose Friday playing Northside, we’ve had a great football season. Applause to the players and the coaches.
Noise
“Can we get more enforcement of the laws that prohibit loud music coming from cars?

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. - Rant and Rave for 2/09/12

Were we really shocked by the half-time cheap shot?

Honor sacrifices

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. - Rant and Rave for 2/07/12

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. - More Opinion Headlines
