Sound Off for July 9, 2016

Subhead

Because of the primary ballot I chose, I am not eligible to vote in the run-off election. Something’s wrong with our system — and what happened to the “secret ballot”?

Real threats

What would happen if another Hitler, Mussolini, or Hirohito threatened the world today? Would we, like our ancestors — the Greatest Generation — repel them? I doubt it. We're too busy running and hiding from words.

It matters

Regarding Trump, Obama says it best: "This is not a reality show. This is reality."

Context

The Facebook posting by the Wal-mart shopper is seen as humorous. But if it had been posted by a poor man who has no connections, he would have likely been arrested. That is the problem.

Long division

Remember if you make the one call to the good guy with a strong arm, he gets 1/3 of the award.

Political pledge

After watching the collusion and corruption by this Obama regime concerning the above-the-law Hillary Clinton, I will never vote Democrat again and I will never trust the federal government again.

Plots afoot

Television's AHC has a new show, "Chasing Conspiracies." Looks like Fox News has competition for Republican viewership.

Infotainment

I want to thank you for running the comics on the front page now.
