Today’s Forum for March 15

“The lady that called into the Forum and said Dalton is becoming a trashy city, I’ll say amen to that and for several different reasons.”

“Donald Trump will badmouth Alec Baldwin but will never say an unkind word about Vladimir Putin. This is embarrassing.”

“Would the last person leaving the White House please shut and lock the door?”

“I’ll tell you what happened since the ’50s and ’60s is they’ve taken God out of the classrooms and they won’t let parents paddle their children. That’s exactly why the world is like it is now. There is no discipline, no respect for God.”

“If Georgia wants to make itself unattractive to illegals, then get rid of all the low-skilled, low-paying jobs that bring them here and the driver’s license problem will solve itself. What part of that do you not understand, people?”

“I don’t sit around and watch Fox News all day, I actually work, but I do watch many, many outlets. MSNBC is one of them and I can tell you they are a Democrat-biased station that does not report accurate news.”

“The only reason I would tune into MSNBC is if no other comedy station was on.”

“I wish someone would explain to me and the whole town of Dalton why do we have all of these parks with water fountains in every one of them and not a single water fountain will work. People are there with kids and pets and as hot as it’s been and as thirsty as we get, you can’t get one drop out of any fountain.”

“So far the complaints are dogs in stores, trash all over our roadways and Monday a complaint in the Forum because of the dirty diapers in the parking spaces at the courthouse. Dirty diapers, trash, empty ashtrays, etc., are left in all parking lots, especially Wal-Mart. Where is the Dalton pride? Tori, our 16-year-old Today’s Citizen, said it right: ‘Don’t be stupid.'”

“As a retired teacher, I know most teachers join teacher associations because they provide liability insurance. With all the talk about arming teachers and other staff, I’m wondering how they are going to protect themselves if they accidentally or mistakenly shoot someone. The school board will protect themselves. Think of the lawsuits.”

“Take all of the cameras away and see how many protesters you have.”

“We got the Russians out of the White House. We got rid of Obama and Hillary.”

“Russian tanks could roll down Pennsylvania Avenue right in front of the White House and Trump wouldn’t say a word about it.”

“Isn’t it funny how a dollar can buy a politician? I mean, look at Washington to see what the NRA has bought.”

“I know it’s illegal not to use my blinkers while I’m driving, but if I do use my blinkers while driving I would be forced to put down my cellphone. What can I say? We all have to make our choices.”

“Fake news has become the rallying cry of the Russian puppets and conservative snowflakes.”

“Of all your columnists, the ones I like the most are Walter Williams, Kyle Wingfield, Tom Crawford and of course Michael Reagan. Dick Yarbrough is OK but his folksy parochialism detracts from what he’s trying to say, in my opinion.”
