A meeting
“So why don’t the citizens of Norman Park call a community meeting to discuss the issues involving law enforcement and city leadership? Let everyone put their thoughts out on the table. If the leadership wants to attend, they might learn something.
Low turnout
“It seemed a very low turnout in the Moultrie city election. I realize it was just one post up for bids, but I would think if we are going to sacrifice our soldiers to help secure our democracy, we would practice more of what we preach at the polls
To celebrate
“Why don’ we have a big celebration each year the magnitude of the Mule Day event over in Calvary, Ga.? Our spring festival is nice but it doesn’t compare to Mule Day. I think it would be great for the community to give this some thought.
Novelty gone?
“I see with the elections on Tuesday in other states that Republicans gained some ground. Maybe the novelty of Obama has worn off.
The 5-way
“I was watching traffic at our notorious five-way intersection yesterday and it came to my attention that the only reason we are not having a lot of wrecks there is that everyone is actually scared to pull out from one of the side streets. Maybe fear works in this instance.
Caution
“With the cold weather coming on and being a former firefighter, I would like for those people who use space heaters to use extreme caution.
Applaud them
“We have a veterans breakfast coming up here in Moultrie. Please remember what these people have afforded us. If you see a veteran, thank him or her for their services.
Big crowd
“Let’s get a big crowd up to go to the Northside game Friday night. This would be a good way to show our team and our coaches how much we appreciate a great year they have given us. Let’s make a lot of noise.
Just thugs?
“I’ve been told that we really don’t have street gangs here in Moultrie, just a lot of thugs out there stealing and doing damage. But the fact is, the results are the same so what we call them is irrelevant.
Crime
“I have a question: With all the property being stolen around here, where is it being resold? My understanding is that a lot of it is linked to the drug trade. Is it being sold out of town?

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?
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. - Rant and Rave for 2/08/12

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
