Sound Off for August 20, 2017

An exemplary life

Mr. William B. Turner — a true Christian gentleman. Amen.

This should be fun

Alabama voters have a difficult choice ahead. No, not War Eagles or Red Elephants, but one that really means something: "Lucifer" Strange or disgraced judge and 7 or 8 Commandments supporter Roy Moore?

Do as we say ...

Distracted driving? Motorcycle policeman passes me in the left lane, steering with his right hand, drinking from a cup in his left. Should motorcycle handlebars even have cup holders?

Mentioned in history, too

The student who facilitated the destruction of the statue in Durham noting “white supremacy keeping its foot on her neck” was apparently absent from civics class when the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was discussed.

Self-revelation

The comments in Sound Off by the local liberals are indication of their low IQ.

Bad idea, bad timing

Local governments should find something to do besides destroying Confederate statues, which simply stokes flames of hatred and resentment. Bad idea. People have already died. Why do this, especially right now?

If it bugs you , don’t breathe

Volkswagen doesn't have to worry about pesky automobile emission tests now there is a new sheriff. Clean air is just a memory. Heck, EPA head Scott Pruitt might become Volkswagen's CEO.

More descriptive monicker

Why does Kim Jong-Un never use his last name, which is “Hinged”?
