Sound Off for November 26, 2016

The ‘pivot’?

Not a wall, but possibly a fence. Likes parts of Obamacare. Is fine with Supreme Court decision on same-sex marriage. Certainly not the rhetoric we heard during the campaign.

Curious

If the government is so convinced guns are safe, why did Congress, in 1996, ban federal funding for research into guns and violence? You'd think they would want to prove their point.

Poetic justice

One of Trump’s first appointees should be Hillary as the new Ambassador to Libya.

Correct

Some illegal aliens are demonstrating with signs that say “Trump isn’t our president.” They are right. Their president is in Mexico.

Alternatives

Bull Creek and Oxbow golf courses are subsidized by Muscogee County tax dollars; why not require a non-resident fee, or give residents a chance to pay a reduced fee?

Still ‘phony’?

OK, Mitt...Go on to Trump Tower with your tail between your legs. Drop to your knees and kiss his … whatever.

Aghast

Jeff Sessions as Attorney General? Trump must be kidding. Eliot Spitzer, where are you now that you're needed?

Role model

Are you fine Christian folks going to have a nude photo of the First Lady on the wall of your Sunday school class?
