Thanks

“Thanks for the editorial on democracy. Indeed our public is often a poor student of history and civics. Too many embrace the idea that ‘if I want your opinion, I’ll give it to you.’

No salute

“You know we have some in the Christian faith who don’t salute the flag. And they have that right. They have never been protested. Go figure.

Outside review

Most Popular

“Colquitt County Schools are at least 55% minority – that’s almost 5000 children and we have 7 minority administrators! They can’t change anything either. They’re just trying to survive! Only when we bring in an objective firm to analyze our schools will we hear the truth, but even then, people won’t see it! Outta sight – outta mind!

Stirring it up

“I’m stirring up trouble because I speak the truth about segregation and you think I should stop? Sounds like Jim Crow all over again! That’s the problem. People want to accept how our schools and town is as the new norm instead of standing up for our rights as Americans and you wonder why people kneel for the anthem!

Be on time

“If you have a child in a church preschool please drop them off and pick them up on time.

Respect

“Goodell doesn’t understand that the American people have a lot more respect for our country and our flag than we do for those who play ball for riches. They have no reason to expect respect, this country and our flag have earned that respect. They can take a knee in an empty stadium.

Glitz and profits

“The NFL is a glitzy, for profit, entertainment business, money-making machine. It is dying before your eyes: viewership down, attendance down, fans angry, protests common, advertisers are nervous. NFL fans are sick of the anti-American, introverted, Kaepernick-type players. And they’re furious with NFL owners’ apologies and defenses of narcissistic, USA-demeaning, ingrate displays.

Refused again

“The Packer Touchdown Club parking at the stadium has no control. After being refused access again Friday night, once I found parking a far bit away, I walked the white tag parking area and counted 25 vehicles with no tags displayed. Not sure how the ‘club’ can sell $150 parking and allow a free-for-all. Yep, it’s just a money-maker.
