Sound Off for Sunday, December 13, 2015

Let's make this loud and clear: Islamic extremists kill more Muslims than non-Muslims. If you attack a Muslim for being Muslim, you're not only un-American, you just climbed in the same boat as the terrorists.

Tax-shelter math

Enormously profitable Pfizer Pharmaceuticals pretends that it pays 25% in taxes; but the actual rate is more like 6%, because much of their reported tax is "deferred" and will never be paid.

Call us whatever you like

Yep, it's a real shame us Harris County rednecks have to put up with higher academic scores and incomes and lower crime and unemployment rates as compared to those highfalutin liberals in Muscogee County.

Well then, I'm offended that you're never mind

I'm offended that you're offended.

Comforting sound

A special thank you for the church bells ringing out on Double Churches Road. Now, that is the way to bring peace! Thank you, Mt. Zion Baptist Church.

So it's about safety, is it?

The gun lobby and their puppets in Congress just proved they would rather arm terrorists than do anything that their warped ideology might misconstrue as a dent in their Second Amendment right to hoard WMDs.

'Hope' narrowly defined

David Lewis spoke about hope. I think he is just hoping to keep his job after the abysmal test scores.

Public hazard

The Senate voted against expanding background checks for gun buyers. People on the no-fly list can still legally buy guns in America. The NRA lobby is an obstacle to our safety.

Connect the dots, Jeb

Jeb Bush supports buying guns but we will stop terrorists through thorough background checks. Yeah, right. You going to Syria for a thorough background check? Come on, Republicans, stop counting money and count American lives.

One step at a time

Today it might be no Muslims. Tomorrow it could be no Jews. The next day it could be no Baptists.

Political slurs are one thing

It's one thing to be stereotyping Republicans, but to be stereotyping Muslims as well shows a lot of bigotry on your part.

Alienating the world

For the people who would vote for Trump for President, we will require an I.Q. test in advance. Otherwise, you've just written off every allied country that ever supported us.
