Sound Off for September 4, 2017

True America

A photo in the paper shows three deputy constables rescuing a woman from rising waters in Texas: two men, Sergeant Fernandez and Sergeant Tran; and one woman, Sergeant Patel. That is our American melting pot.

Pitching in

Teddy Cruz needs to offer profound thanks to all Americans, citizens and elected members of Congress, for the non-ideological support to the unfortunate citizens of the western Gulf coast.

Historic note

Those groups stating “my country,” remember the first two men who had died for this country, Peter Salem and Crispus Attucks, were black men.

Grim reality

Everyone needs to watch “Dr. Zhivago.” After the revolution, that is real socialism, not flowers and sunshine. You will never find utopia in this life, people.

Flake news

I believe the country has more to be concerned about than Taylor Swift. Don’t you?

Burn, baby, burn

Trump surged ahead of his Republican competitors for the nomination when he threw matches on the kindling; and now, under siege, his only strategy for survival is to pour gasoline on the flames.

Positive note:

Appreciate all of the services effectively managed by Columbus Consolidated Government.
