Rant and Rave for 01/23/13

MOULTRIE — Childish jabber

“I’ve never heard such childish jabber as I have over the gun issue. No one is knocking on your door to take your pump shotgun. No one is taking your pistol. And if you contend that forbiding someone to have a magazine that holds more than 10 rounds is ludicrous because you can have 2 magazines, then get you 2 dadgum magazines and you’re good to go."

That smell

“I  just read the article about the foul smell at the jail. Since the smell becomes stronger after dishes are finished. You need to check the hot water heaters for stagnant water. If this is it, there is a very strong something like sulphur and sewer. I know this from experience. Good luck. I hope this is it."

Our buzzards

“So I’m riding downtown today and on South Main Street there are three buzzards in a front yard. You know this is getting a bit serious."

Hospitality

“When you see vehicles in the middle of the road that are broken down, why don't these people slow down and move over? Or stop and ask if those people need help? Southern hospitality is slowly disappearing around here. Remember folks, what would you want someone to do if you were broken down in the middle of the road?"

Observation

“Now I know how to increase attendance at the polls. Put a question on the ballot to repeal the 2nd Amendment."

Not squirrels

“Well, Mr. Gun Laws. It ain't squirrels kicking in doors and robbing folks. A single shot shotgun is slightly more useful than a stick when you have four invaders determined to rape and kill."

Check Romans

“Here is something better, Romans 13:1. ‘Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed.’ You have been told not to distribute religious materials while on school property. Therefore you sin by disobeying the law of man."

Pecking awa

“It is not whether you want an ‘assault’ weapon, but at some point in time, someone other than you may need one.

"At present the farmers along the TX, NM, AR, borders need one. 30 to 40 years ago they didn’t. 30 to 40 years from now, who knows…?

"Look up the government’s definition of an assault weapon…purely cosmetics! NY banned anything over a 7-round clip. That makes your standard 9mm simi auto illegal.

"What makes you think the government will stop at simi auto weapons.

"But let the government keep pecking away on what type of gun you can own until all you have is a sling shot for squirrels."

  • Great performance

    Dear Editor,
    You don't have to live in New York, Paris or London to experience world-class cultural events. You can do that right here in Moultrie, Georgia.

  • Tribute to my dad

    Dear editor:
    Growing up in South Georgia every little girl thinks of their daddy as their prince; I am no different. And I believe his years of sacrifice, dedication and unconditional love for me is a story worth telling.

  • dwain walden.tif Oh joy! The Turtle Man will return

    Great news! The Turtle Man is coming back for another season on television!
    And yes, I’m being a little facetious here. It’s a ridiculous show, but apparently it’s entertainment for some people.

  • The kind of stuff that happens in dictatorships

    Distrust of government secrecy has been elevated to an exceptional level with the disclosure the Justice Department covertly examined two months of Associated Press phone records to determine who leaked details to the AP about a foiled terrorist plot.

  • dwain walden.tif And would you like fries with that?

    Most of us have seen the Chick-fil-A signs that urge us to “eat more chicken.” So would you ever expect to see one that says, “eat more crickets?”

  • Something to enjoy

    Dear editor,
    On Sunday I had the pleasure of witnessing an Atlanta Braves game up close and in person.  I have been to a Braves game before but every time always feels like the first.

Allowing youth members is OK, but not leaders.
