Rant and Rave for June 30

Mob rule?

“Democracy isn't a good thing. The founders wrote on its evils. It’s mob rule; basically two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner. We're a representative republic. You look that up.”



Please fix it

“OK, county people. You need to fix William Gibbs Road and not wait until someone gets hurt to ...repair it.”



Food for thought

“The main basis people cry ‘socialism’ is due to their being afraid or unwilling to help those in need. Jesus Christ would have been labeled a socialist by the standards of some people in the community. I am just giving you food for thought when you cry socialism at every attempt to help the poor and sick.”



No comparison

“To the ranter comparing Obama's date and South Carolina’s governor’s date, there is no comparison for us Georgians. We don't pay South Carolina taxes, but we do pay federal taxes and that is what Obama wasted when he went to New York. South Carolinians should be fussing about their governor wasting money.”



One solution

“This is for the person who called in ‘Help’ about the TV antenna. If you purchase satellite Dish Network then you can get your local channels through All-American Direct. But you have to go through Dish Network. I also live in the country and know exactly what she’s talking about. But that would solve her problem.”
