“If a black person told me to read something as insightful and made as much common sense as what Walter Williams writes, I’d be thankful that they gave me a source of good information.”

“How in the world can some people be so cruel about the ‘Dreamers’? These kids did not ask to be brought here and we would be sending them back to a country that they, in some cases, cannot even remember being there. That is not my Christian way.”

“Someone should fix the light at Williams Road and Cleveland Highway. The timing is terrible.”

“If you think Trump’s feelings are hurt for being called a white supremacist, that’s a joke. That man has no feelings.”

“In the religion section in Saturday’s paper, I really liked Chester Clark’s column ‘When the storm blows.’ Give us more of these articles by different preachers.”

“I just don’t know how long Tennessee is going to be patient with Butch Jones.”

“It sure grieves my heart to say this but I think the SEC is kind of like the old gray mare. It’s not what it used to be.”

“To the person who commented about Trump destroying human decency, every time you vote for a Democrat human decency is thrown out the window.”

“You want to know when the Statue of Liberty became the Statue of Illegal Immigration? That happened when we elected President Bush and President Obama.”

“If these NFL players are not able to stand up for the national anthem, they shouldn’t be able to play football.”

“Question asked in the Forum if anybody’s seen any good movies lately. No, I haven’t, and I don’t think there are going to be any good movies any time soon. Hollywood has become very political and I refuse to go see actors who take real strong political stands, especially against my beliefs. I believe I have the right to refuse to go watch that garbage.”

“To explain why sports editor Tony Maluso should go back to Ohio, I just believe that anybody that has to watch a Cleveland Indians rerun after an Ohio State football loss should probably get back up north where he’s more comfortable.”

“Does anybody know where the Atlanta Braves are going to be playing in the National League playoffs? Sarcasm.”

“I wonder what the people protesting in St. Louis really want. They don’t want justice. Our system provides for a trial. The man was tried, he was found not guilty. While you may not like the verdict, that’s our system. I didn’t like the verdict in the O.J. trial, but that’s our system.”

“I would just like to ask the mayor of Cohutta when they had drive-in stores and a restaurant up here. I’ve been living here a long time and I haven’t seen them yet.”

“Why do we always elect draft-dodgers to be president? Bill Clinton, George Bush, Donald Trump. Who’s going to be next?”

“The comment that quoted CCR lyrics was truly inspired! And you’re right, it has become a culture of perpetually offended victims. Some would rather blame the past and all others rather than accept responsibility for their own behavior and failures.”

”I’m in my right mind. I bought a copy of ‘What Happened’ because I wanted to.”
