Rant and Rave for March 22, 2019

Now who’s ‘deplorable’?

“Obviously you belong to the party that supports killing live babies that survive an abortion. And we’re the deplorables?”

Leadership qualities?

“Deep in debt, insubordination for creating a hostile work environment by yelling at the boss, cussing out children in front of their peers, unexplained absences from work… Are these the leadership qualities you want high schoolers to learn? Really? REALLY?

“Is this how you expect children to act when they grow up and have to work for a living?”

Democrats digging for votes

“By giving felons, 16 year olds and illegal immigrants the right to vote in America, it’s painfully clear Democrats have hitched their wagon to a dying star by dragging this country far left, ideologically. Democrats seem quite desperate, lately, to find another large voting block that can be emotionally driven to support radicalism.”

You can be fired for almost anything

“The rant, ‘BOE fires Rush without disclosing the reasons…’ Last time I checked, Georgia was an at-will employment state. That means you or your employer can end the employment at any time, ‘with a good reason, a bad reason or no reason at all, as long as it is not an illegal reason.’ Maybe you’ve never worked?”

If my employee did that …

“The rant, ‘there was a vendetta by the superintendent to ruin the man because Rush dared to raise his voice at him!’ If my employee raised his voice at me, as you so assuredly noted, I’d fire him too. Maybe you think raising your voice at your boss is appropriate? Well, guess what, you are quite wrong.”

Tom White: A coach with character

“Tom White, for whom the football field is named, ‘earned a revered title because he [was] the best kind of true leader.’ Former players and coaches said of him ‘He always demanded the best, but he did it in a different way. He always treated you with respect.’ Another former player stated, ‘His character was always above reproach.’”

WJW isn’t bad at all

“Wrong! I have subbed and have a child at WJW and this is the best it has been in years. Jim Horne is doing a great job. Teacher moral is up, students are learning. Yes, when ever a new person comes in there are bumps but he is doing great!

“The High School I’ll give you.”

Narrow-minded ignorance

“Calling all Republicans ‘deplorables’ shows an astounding level of narrow minded ignorance and unpleasantness.

“HC never referred to every Republican as such.”

Board did what was necessary

“The school board had the tough job of relieving Coach of his responsibilities after a long history of improper conduct. It is a privilege to teach and coach here in Colquitt County. Never in my 30+ years did I ever consider being unethical or discourteous to my principal or superintendent. We will employ a grateful quality winner very soon.”

Debt isn’t a crime

“So now the public thinks teachers can’t be in debt! Our house cost us $305,000 and we drive 2 vehicles cost a total of $65,000 and we have other bills too. Guess this two educator family is a bad example! I know for a fact that Coach Propst was making payments on his taxes. Is that a crime?”

Noise from the lumber company

“What in the world is the racket coming from the lumber company in north east Moultrie. We live a mile away and can hear it 24 hours a day. can’t our city do something about this noise. We already have our share of boom boxes?”

‘Ordinary Joe’? Not quite

“Saw where Joe Biden will likely enter the 2020 Presidential race soon. ‘Ordinary Joe,’ as he likes to be known, is NOT ‘Ordinary.’ His $2.7 million vacation epitomizes his ability to be ‘Ordinary.’ Do you have a multi-million dollar vacation home? Biden is one rich Democrat.”

Gun sanctuaries

“Saw where 25 of 33 New Mexico counties have declared themselves gun sanctuaries. I sure wish the State of Georgia would do that. 29 of 33 New Mexico sheriffs have indicated they won’t enforce new gun laws passed in their state.

“Maybe Georgia should look to New Mexico’s leadership by example.”

CNN polling

“Saw where CNN’s poll said 71% of Americans think the economy’s in good shape. Since this is a CNN poll, likely that number’s much higher.

“I’ve participated in CNN polls, their pollsters’ inflections attempt to slant the views of those they poll. And I can only imagine just how painful it is for CNN to admit these positive Trump numbers.”
