Sound Off for August 27, 2017

Just to be safe ...

ESPN pulled an Asian-American commentator from a broadcast as his name was Robert Lee. Does that mean I can no longer eat at Chef Lee’s due to his possible Confederate ancestors?

Make Scotland pay for the wall

I betcha Steven Mnuchin (treasury secretary) wishes his green card wife (let them eat cake) understood the American psyche better than she does.

The wheels are coming off

This "finely tuned machine" is losing parts. Do you know we don't even have an ambassador to India, the second most populous country in the world? A country with nukes? Be afraid. Be very afraid.

They don’t deserve the attention

Stoking racial animosity and discord because of two teenage psychos, one in Charleston and one in Charlottesville, is stupid. Are we really going to make policies and laws based on the likes of these two?

If white Southerners are so insistent about statues, why not knuckle-draggers like Lester Maddox, George Wallace, Ross Barnett and Strom Thurmond? Phil Robertson from “Duck Dynasty,” or fake Christian and convicted felon Jim Bakker?
