Sound Off for April 17, 2016

Called ‘La-La Land’ for a reason

Online headline: "Manson 'family' member recommended for parole in California" — Good grief … maybe we should get Trump to promise to build us a wall between California and the other 47 mainland states.

Commercial liberty

The door swings both ways. If I don’t like you and your mean-spirited attitude toward your customers, I don’t have to buy from your store.

Uncivil war of politics

It's fun watching liberals calling other liberals names that they normally reserve for conservatives.

Short-lived campaign

Whatever happened to the two black women who were stumping for Trump? Did they by chance have a reality check?

They incurred the debt

Sure, lenders allowed too many unqualified people to borrow money for houses, knowing taxpayers would bail them out. However, those deadbeats agreed to make those monthly payments. They're just as responsible for the crash.

The trickle-not-far-down effect

My $250,000 income's in the top 3% in America, and Bernie's right: I deserve more money. Bernie will confiscate money the 1% are stealing from us 99-percenters and give me some. Vote Sanders!

The Goldilocks meanness zone

Boehner wasn't mean enough. Now they want to subvert Trump because he is too mean. The GOP is confused and needs a rehabilitation program.

All in the name of safety

We keep weakening and weakening gun laws, and gun-related crimes, shootings and deaths keep increasing. Already, twice as many police officers have been shot to death than at this same time last year.

Made his choice, customers theirs

Lester Maddox said he would serve only whom he wanted. He was forced out of business.
