Sound Off for August 26, 2017

Disclaimer

Evidently in the South, one can gossip about a woman as long as the gossiper ends with “Bless her heart.”

Blasphemy

If you watched Trump's Phoenix "rally" you saw the son of Billy Graham on stage with people who are tearing our country apart. I am sad and angry that supposed Christians have stooped so low.

Stifling

When can we expect air conditioning in the library? It has been over 80 degrees in there all summer.

Rethink it

The cold-shouldered Board of Tax Assessors should do what is morally right and send the message that city government is never more important than the people.

Just asking

What is it about Trump that makes hate groups believe they have now been empowered?

Similar acts

I was heartsick watching the Taliban destroy monuments in an attempt to erase history which didn't conform to their beliefs. I'm sick to my stomach watching Americans do the same thing.

History do-over

The President should be creative. The Rosenbergs were executed in the 1950s for selling secrets to Russia. Trump could pardon these "fine people" posthumously for trying to help relations with his friends from Moscow.
