“Keep America beautiful, don’t litter.”

“On changing those voter precincts, be sure and check with Vladimir Putin before you do that.”

“This stuff about the Whitfield County pound is disturbing. If you can’t get to the back to see all of the dogs and cats, how can you rescue them? People need to step up and tell your commissioners that this is wrong on so many levels. Step up, people! Let your voice be heard.”

“The commissioners really need to wake up about the pound and let those rescuers in. That’s stupid and they’re just doing it out of spite. They need to wake up and grow up. This is the real world, life and death.”

“Again, thanks to the DCN for bringing us the wisdom of Walter Williams. Too many so-called institutions of higher learning have become islands of intolerance and censors of free speech instead of centers for actual learning. As parents and students struggle with financing, social diversity — not the encouragement of innovation from free thought — becomes the objective of those who would control the minds of our youth and ultimately our nation.”

“The article on Dalton’s disappearing mayor shows how the world has changed in 60 years and not for the better. With modern technology it would be virtually impossible for someone to do that today.”

“Talking about the spoiled dogs, I have one that’s so spoiled that I have to show him the weather forecast in the paper every morning before he’ll go out.”

“Here is an issue. If you are not a registered voter or you do not vote when it is election time please stop being the ones complaining. So here is the scenario. You are of age to vote but have not registered, you have no complaint. You are registered but you still don’t vote, you have no complaint. If you are a legal resident of this fine country but have not earned citizenship and gained the right to vote, you need not complain. If you have committed such a crime that cost that right to vote you have no reason to complain. All real simple concepts. Have the right to vote and you vote, then you earn the right to complain.”

“We do have climate change, it’s called autumn, winter, spring and summer. I guess that’s not taught in school anymore though.”

“Perhaps it is not Trump that is so offensive, but your own arrogant attitude. The belief that somebody owes you something, or the government should take care of its citizens from cradle to grave so you wouldn’t have to bear any responsibilities, or that just because somebody’s speech or opinions offend you that they must be silenced. That’s just not how America works, for which most of us are eternally grateful. We live in the best country in the world but even that can’t make some ungrateful sad sacks happy. Look within first.”

“The liberal Democrats couldn’t buy the election, now they’re trying to influence the outcome of the election by dealing with liberal judges.”

“President Trump has done the nearly impossible. He has almost made it appear that Bush Jr. actually had his act together. Almost …”

“I’d like to say thanks to the newspaper delivery personnel that brings it on Hasty Drive in Tunnel Hill. Thank you, big man.”
