Sound Off for June 18, 2016

Usual suspects

Obama and the news media are at odds on the Orlando murders, with two groups they like best, gays and Islam. Instead of blaming radical Islam, they blame guns and right-wing Christians.

Flip side

People who need $15 an hour to flip hamburgers, so they don’t have to work three jobs to feed their families, don’t understand why CEOs need $15 million a year, and neither do I.

What free speech?

Go to Mexico and you can fly your flag all day long. If I see it I will rip it down. You must not be an American.

That’s his plan?

Fort Benning is losing 2,800 soldiers this summer thanks to President Obama. Now Obama has 8,000 empty beds that he can fill with refugees. What can go wrong here?

Not happy

According to USA Today, Trump has received at least 3,500 official complaints for failing to pay employees, contractors, and business affiliates money he owes — dishwashers, bartenders, painters, and even his own lawyers.

Get a clue

The only punishable crime today is "attitude." If you don't believe it, try displaying arrogance to that traffic policeman or to the judge in traffic court. Civility and common sense go a long way.

Can’t handle it

The press is unfair! The Donald doesn't know how to deal with people not dependent on him for their livelihood.
