Sound Off for April 12, 2016

The other cheek

Pray for your enemies. Count it as a blessing when you are persecuted. Be a light into the world. The world needs you.

Courageous

Hooray to Bill Clinton for standing up to those idiots calling themselves Black Lives Matter; whose name should really be Criminal Lives Matter. They represent blacks about as much as ISIS represents Christians.

Perfect timing

In view of discriminatory laws passed in Mississippi and North Carolina, we should lobby the Braves to relocate a farm team from one of those states to Columbus. We have a ball park ready.

Deja vu

Seems like the ghosts of the 1950s are revisiting Phenix City.

But not well

Dennis Hastert, Newt Gingrich, Donald Trump all represent the “Family Values” party.

Choice terms

I can only imagine what the great Will Rogers would say about the Republican candidate debates.

Subhuman

For a motorist to hit a child, a 14-year-old girl, and run is as low as a human being can get.

Needed voice

Love your courageous reporter, Stephanie Pedersen, and the way she says the truth. We can use more of that in America.

Rationalization

What makes that idiot Senator Grassley think the next President wouldn’t make a politically motivated choice for the Supreme Court?
