Sound Off for April 21, 2016

An inspiring, encouraging experience

I just finished a few months of volunteer work on post. America — we have every right to be proud of, and have confidence in, our outstanding young men and women in uniform.

‘Fair’ share is relative

Hillary wants to make more Americans “pay their fair share,” yet she panders to Al Sharpton who should be in federal prison because of his taxes.

Life sentence? Seriously?

The state of Alabama should be ashamed of itself for jailing a 76-year-old veteran for life on a marijuana possession charge. Is common sense no longer common in the heart of Dixie?

Deterrent effect?

Now that Spring Fling is over, how was attendance following the opening weekend's shooting spree?

Political Golden Rule

There is nothing confusing about delegates or the Electoral College. It is intentionally built-in corruption. "We The People" is a lie. "We The Rich" is the reality.

Omnipresent beauty

Billion and billions of stars, even more planets. And we have privilege of living on this one … and on this part. Let's not blow it. Thank God daily.

That’s flag desecration, too

If the American flag flying at your business is tattered and faded, please replace it.
