SpeakOut 10-26

It's a sign

I read in the paper where Osama instead of Obama was printed on the absentee ballots in New York. Isn't that weird - or maybe it's a warning. America, wake up! Give McCain a chance to show his change and protect America.

Cancel the descriptions

Listen Mike, I know you're prejudiced and I know you're a Republican. I think the lower white people and the black people, what they should do is cancel all our descriptions (her word, not mine) and not take your newspaper anymore. We're too poor to afford your newspaper. I'm beginning to wonder, do you all think the only sin in the Bible is abortion? Abortion is wrong and it's murder. But if girls would keep their pants pulled up they wouldn't be getting pregnant and running out of town for an abortion. You know what a Republican said on TV one day? He said we don't need abortion in the United States, we go to Switzerland to have them. But, they're pro-life - yeah, right. You better think before you vote and I hope you've got guts enough to print this!

Poor, but clean

I'd like to speakout on being poor and being trashy and dirty in your yard and yourself. I was born and raised dirt poor. Our yard was always clean, our trash was always picked up. My Mom always kept us clean. Just because we didn't have money didn't mean we didn't have pride. I'm just dumbfounded anymore at the people I see. I'm an older person and live in government housing. I had to retire due to illness, but my yard is clean and I'm clean. I just can't get over the younger generation. Some of them, and I will emphasize some of them, by younger I mean 25-40, seeing how they do their parents and grandparents, living off of them, living with them, having kids or have kids, the yards are nasty. They sit all day in the yard and smoke cigarettes and whatever else they do and trash just piles up around them. They have no pride. I don't get it. I just want you people to know that are out there doing this, there's nothing wrong with being poor, but there's something wrong with being nasty. Clean up your yards and get some pride about yourself. Even if you don't work, that would be a good reason to keep your yard and your trash picked up 'cause you don't work. It's better than sitting around all day doing nothing but have kids.

Thinks he's smart

Regarding Your view, By the numbers, written by Ron Greenlee Oct. 14. Mr. Greenlee's only problem is that he is as ignorant as he thinks he is smart and intelligent. When you reflect on the magnitude of that, everybody will realize just how dumb this idiot actually is.

The pay off

In regards to By the numbers, why is it that we always forget to point out that it was the Democrats that brought out the idea of everybody should get a loan for their house, buy an SUV, have $60,000 to $70,000 less than a house is worth, give them a loan and those are the ones we have to bail out. Those people that couldn't afford it got something they couldn't pay for and we have to pay them off now.

Can you do a redo?

I'm calling to find out if anyone can take 1960s movie film and redo it and put it on VCR and restore it. My number is 573 -388-1130. I'd like to find out if anybody knows how to do it.

Who you for

JoAnn Emerson, you said you would listen to the people. We applied for a loan for our son to build a house - it was low income and extra low income. We got the papers back and it said that he was "too low income" to build the house. You all put a retraction in the paper and said to apply now if it was less than $25,000. You need to decide who you're for - the rich people or the poor people.

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign

I know you say don't use profanity and I'm too much of a lady to do that. Somebody called me this morning and told me to look on my computer for something and I did. I am past angry at a teacher at our Kindergarten Center here in Sikeston that I can't even see straight. To let a teacher put up a banner in her class that says Vote Democrat - that's going a little bit too far. To say Vote now, yes ma'am, but to start putting in our children's minds what party to vote for? I didn't do that to my children when they were younger. I did not do that to my grandchildren. I would not do that to anyone's children. For a teacher to start putting that in children's minds that are not even her own, that's going a little bit too far. That teacher ought to be made to take it down and be reprimanded.

The Garfield vote

I'm calling about the political issues in the paper. First of all I would like to say that it doesn't matter who gets president. If God decides he wants to come back He's going to. Second of all the only reason people are wanting to vote Republican and not Democrat is because Obama kills babies, he's for partial birth abortion. Third of all, John McCain is not going around registering a cat to vote for him, but Obama is. If you're that desperate for votes, drop out of the race.
