Letter to the editor
Dear editor,
You have it, use it. With all the different problems this nation continues to be faced with, her citizens have the one thing that they need to solve all problems, but they won’t use it, the Holy Bible. There is nothing too hard for God. More and more Americans are turning to separation of church and state.
Any nation that has citizens that have reached the point where they do not fear God has become a very dangerous nation. If my grandmother was alive today looking at the actions of today’s society she would say, “Something in the milk is not clean.”
This nation doesn’t need leaders that have become like the child that has eaten the entire apple before realizing it was rotten. Whatever is needed to save a dying nation can be found in the Holy Bible. Look at what the founding fathers had to say in establishing this great nation. We now have leaders that don’t seem to believe that they are responsible to God for their decisions. Look at the thoughts of our first president George Washington.
It is really a strange thing that there should not be enough room in the world for men to live without cutting one another’s throats. My first wish is to see this plague of mankind, war, banished from the Earth. It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible. The time is near and at hand which must determine whether Americans are to be free men or slaves. It is well if I die hard, but I am not afraid to go.
Observe good faith and justice toward all nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all. To encourage literature and the arts is a duty which every good citizen owes to his country. If we cannot learn wisdom from experience it is hard to say where it is to be found. Mankind, when left to themselves, are unfit for their own government.
Happiness and moral duty are inseparably connected. A free people ought not only to be armed, but also disciplined. If one cannot improve on silence, perhaps they should not speak unless they can improve on silence.
It is better to offer no excuse than a bad one. If this nation truly loves the Lord they should ask this question, “Is what we are living for worth dying for?” Lord bless.

Dear editor,
Sometimes I wonder what kind of feckless bottom feeders would put our country and the American citizens in harm’s way of serious injury to murder?
If you just pick up a newspaper or even listen to some of your fellow citizens, it’s very clear who these morons are.
These so called Hollywood elites who wouldn’t know a bovine pie from a meringue pie if it hit them in that pie hole between their pearly whites, or that oligarchy of federal judges on the ninth circus court of appeals who are still carrying water for that ex-fraud in-chief who was as close to a Muslim himself (Obama), and finally the democrat voter who’s only allegiance is their own allegiance of self aggrandizement, selfishness, greed and pure political ideology ahead of country.
This is a full display of the Muslim ban brought on by a newly elected president whom we can now say “has a pair”. President Trump is only doing what he was elected to do, and that is, secure the freedoms we hold so dear from our founders more than 200 years ago and keep the American people safe from the monsters called Isis Muslim terrorist.
When you have a book called the Quran ordering all Muslims to kill all the Jews and the infidels (that’s you, the American people by the way), which by their standards is a one way ticket to martyrdom for 72 virgin women to lie with for a lifetime.
Thanks to these complete liberal idiots I’ve already mentioned at the beginning of this opinion letter, they who could give a fig less about security of this country, and it’s not if, it’s when the next horrific terrorist act happens. When it does, this is all on the obstructionist democrat voter. It’s not on Trump; it’s on you Mr. and Miss liberal America. It’s on the 72 virgins for you terrorist. Most of us who hold security dear has a security that lives in our homes, and that is “Smith and Wesson.” We’ll be more than happy to expedite that relationship for those 72 virgins in paradise or perhaps hell!

Former Ronald Reagan budget director Art Laffer, creator of The Laffer Curve, is a big Trump backer. The media would have you believe Trump supporters are ignorant fools but Art Laffer is a sharp fellow. In fact, he moved out of California a few years back to get rid of crushing taxes and immigrant problems. He now lives near Nashville, Tennessee, a state with no state income tax. I’ll bet he likes the music better, too.

Man shot after shooting at officers
A Gresston man was shot after he shot at law enforcement officials.
According to Special Agent in Charge of the Eastman Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) office Scott Whitley, at approximately 10:30 a.m. on Friday, February 10, probation officer Terry Hood had gone to 147 Wilson Woodard Road Lot 2 in Gresston to do a routine home check on Kyle Hudson “Hut” Coleman, age 24, who was on probation. Hood knocked on the door of the mobile home several times, but no one answered.
About that time, Dodge County Sheriff’s Deputy Kirk Hartwell was driving by the trailer. Coleman ran out the back door of the trailer and Hood and Hartwell chased him.
Coleman ran by the Gresston Congregational Holiness Church and into a cemetery, where he began to shoot at the officers. Both officers returned fire and a bullet hit Coleman in the head area.
It is not known which officer hit Coleman. A ballistics test will have to be run on the bullet to determine that.
An Air Evac helicopter was called to the scene and Coleman was airlifted to the Medical Center Navicent Health in Macon.
Officials do not know why Coleman ran or began shooting at the officers.
