Speakout November 26

Thursday, 4:30 p.m.
The word ‘bigot’ is much in the Speak Out. What is a bigot? This Yankee thought it stood for “believers in God’s only truth.”

Hi this is Raymond and I would like to speak to my best friend Dudley and tell him that ignorance’s best friend is stupidity. Yes we did help build Africa and South America. We did a lot of mining over there. Have you ever heard of the blood diamonds and yes we had something to do with Africa, South America and also what happened all over the world. Thank you my brother and have a blessed day.

Yes, my name is Fred and I just recently moved here. It bothers me how people are being so naïve and ignorant when it comes to what is being said in the Speak Out. For more research you will find the lies are just that. And to attack president elect Barack Obama is silly. For so long we have had an ethnic white true American in the White House and look where it has gotten us. Oh, and by the way I am a Republican.

This is Bill and in today’s paper (Nov. 19) it talks about the Electoral College. Mary calls in and the Editor also addressed it and neither one spelled it correctly. There is no “i” in it.
Editor’s Note: Bill, do not blame Mary. It was my fault on both accounts. Thanks for setting me straight.

Wednesday, 3:45 p.m.
Good afternoon this is Katherine. Folks, united we stand and divided we fall. This is our country so everyone should make an effort to keep her clean and make sure she is something we are proud of. Murder is wrong by any name or term you want to call it. Unite now and be proud of our nation no matter if you are white, black, green, or red. Folks, united we stand, divided we fall. Let's unite and take care of our country and be proud of it. Thank you.

This is Dudley. My message is about the Editor’s note concerning the Electoral College. As I understand it the Electoral College is the same number as the number of senators and representatives we have in the U.S. legislature. California has more electors because they have more senators and representatives.

Hello friends this is J.W. Congratulations and a pay raise is in order for the Milton High football coaches for such a fine season. I think the record was 3-7. We really appreciate the effort put forth. However 3-7 is a fine record in this day and time for this high school. Thank you so much for letting me speak.

Wednesday, on-line
First of all I just want to say that I am very disappointed with the Santa Rosa Press Gazette, which seems to pick out the comments only of the most ignorant people of the local area. My response is to the most ignorant one of all, Wayne, from Jay. First of all your points are ridiculous. If gun sales are up it is only because you and people like you are racists, nothing else. This being based off of your socialist comments and reference to Obama being "the first and last black president." Secondly, many Christians did vote for Obama. Not because they are imposters but only because they are tired of the way things have been run over the last 8 years. It is time where people such as you are ignored and no longer left to run the country with your hypocrisy and ignorance. Most of us are looking toward a brighter future where equality and acceptance are what matters most, not fear and paranoia. And to those who are constantly commenting on gays and lesbians being created by the devil, you will be the ones who will be dealing with the devil. You all seem to preach Christianity but all you preach is hate and bigotry. You are no different from the Bin Ladenís and Al-Zawahiri's of the world, and worst of all you give Christians a bad name. I doubt anything I say will change your small and helplessly closed minds but I just had to get this off my chest. I feel sorry for the bitter, racist people of the world who claim to be Christians. Your God is not mine, stop preaching hatred disguised behind Christianity. Rose.
Editor’s Note: Rose, we run the comments that we get. There is no cherry picking of the comments to see whom we can offend. We leave it up to the callers of the speak out line to raise your awareness of feelings in the community, which can offend you or be something you might agree with. But the ultimate goal of this line is to make you think about the feelings of the community.

It is 11-18-08 around noontime and this is Paul. I was replying to Mr. Billy Rogers’ comments on Wednesday at 3:53 p.m. Mr. Billy Rogers in Blackwater as smart as you are it should not take you long to figure out it wasn’t a hound dog that put the car parts on your road. But someone hound dog looks to be the target of your anger. And Billy, if you were lost and hungry and found my house I would not harm you. I would feed you and take care of you. God Bless you and the lost dogs around your house.

Yeah this is for Debbie and her comments about the Veterans Day parade and everything. Debbie lets look at the FBA competitions. I have gone to every one Pace and Milton has been in this year. Usually the finishing order if Choctaw, Pace second, and Milton is somewhere down the line. So the kids at Pace are doing something right and should be commended for it. They are getting superiors as well. But there is always something better than superior and I think the Pace kids are better than superior.

If you have a short comment you would like to make, call the Speak Out line at 623-5887.
