Dear editor,
The political climate and confluence of current events in this past decade sure has caused a metamorphosis of morals, common sense and down right stupidity of the American populace.
In 2008, a plurality of the voters in America overwhelmingly wanted a change based on a man’s skin color and banal platitudes by an individual named Barrack Husain Obama. His background and speeches clearly showed he was a Marxist community organizer with a degree of rabblement, and the American people knew this and still elected this fraud not once, but twice. And now the United Sates of America is in a spiral collapse of immoral decay from human depravity of homosexuality brought on by Obama and his administration social petri dish experiment via the judicial courts bought by Obama’s jurist appointments to the supreme courts.
Fast forward to 2016, with Obama’s former secretary of state Hillary Clinton now running for a “Obama third term” essentially, with the same political ideology and cretinism in human behavior as the fraud in chief (Obama). She has been proven in criminal congressional hearings of her involvement in leaking classified information thru Internet, and coupled as a serial liar to the truthfulness of FBI investigations. And finally, Clinton seems to border on psychosis of schizophrenia of a complete mental breakdown, where she was giving a political speech last week, and then seemed to morph herself into a dog by barking. Has the country gone to the dogs? Pun very much intended, really look no further than American voter who has a (“D”) next to their name on that question my friends.  
Yet, the democratic voters by the preponderance in numbers are right back on the same path as they did in 2008. Vote with their own self-interest of greed, political ideology, selfishness and vacuity in brains. Bottom line, (MORONS)!
Okay, republican conservative voter, don’t do as you did in 2012, seven million of you and sit on your butt, and NOT vote. Send this Yankee carpetbagger back to New York to keep Bill away from Monica (GO-VOTE)!

Dodge County High School (DCHS) opened their baseball season against non-region rival Bleckley County on February 16. These games never disappoint and this was no exception. 
The Indians got down three runs early in the game, but fought back to tie the game at three in the middle innings. Bleckley would add a fourth run late in the game and Dodge came close a couple of times, but just couldn’t manage to get the tying run across. 
Craig Barton got the pitching start for the Indians and pitched a strong season opener. Barton went 5 and 1/3 innings striking out four and walking four. He gave up three runs to the Royals. 
Tyler Pruett came on in relief pitching 1 and 2/3 innings allowing one run, striking out three, and allowing no walks.
