Sound Off for November 18, 2016

Historically illiterate

Ultimate irony: people waving Confederate flags yelling "You lost."

Constitutional vindication

The citizen who shot and killed the armed man mercilessly beating the Florida police officer should be given an award. Just another example of justice thanks to concealed carry laws.

The real gender gap

Trump wins and just proves that men can get away with anything and women can’t.

We’re not leaving

Hate to interrupt your euphoria, but Clinton won the popular vote. We are the majority. We are still here. And we recognize no Trump or Republican mandate.

Just what did she ‘win’?

Carl Leubsdorf still claims Hillary won all three debates even after finding out she cheated using a media conspiracy that included giving her questions in advance. Carl has no credibility now.

Our national role model

Tell your children that comments our president-elect made would get you suspended from any school or company in America. We have bullying policies in all walks of life except politics.

Shorter trip

We were going to visit China to see the Great Wall. Now we only have to go to Texas.
