The Jackson vs. Poplar Bluff game was excellent Sept. 14, but the best part of the game was at the end when both teams joined together in one huddle, knelt and prayed. That is the photo that should have made the paper.
Intolerance
Our society is seeing what happens when the people crying the loudest for tolerance about their religion, politics and beliefs are actually more intolerant of those with opposing views.
The animal control officer needs to visit the South West End Boulevard and Cousin Street area. I was driving to the store Monday and four little dogs were running in the street. Cars were slamming on their brakes trying to avoid them. I came back later and they were still out there. The poor dogs either are going to get killed or cause a wreck.
I opened my Missourian this morning to find, yet again, another mean-spirited cartoon about the president of the United States. I am well aware that your editorial policy is GOP all the way, but those of us not in agreement with you are getting sick and tired of your constant negativity in regard to the man who is our president.
The 53 percent
Mitt Romney is absolutely correct when he defined the Democrat base as those 47 percent looking for a government handout. Hopefully, the remaining 53 percent of us will vote for Romney and get our country moving back in the right direction.

Intolerance: I kill you for my religion, a throw back to the Crusades.
Animal control: The animal control person probably does not read speakout so call them up and report the dogs.
Editorial cartoon: Make a written cancellation to the circulation dept. and enclose in it your reasons.
The 53 percent: Hurry up Nov. and end all this political fighting.
Cockroaches will be here long after mankind is gone.
53%
Repubs are just as responsible for the country going in the wrong direction as the Dems. Seriously doubt Romney will move us in the right direction any more than obama. But then again, it's the 100% that have put these parties in power and left them in power to do their damage. No one to blame but ourselves.
Editorial cartoon...then why don't you read the NY Times or watch the New Barack Channel, the Channeling Barack Station and the All Barack Channel? They are obama's propaganda arm. Thank God the SEMissourian has not bowed to obama.
New Barack Channel, the Channeling Barack Station and the All Barack Channel
Not bad. May want to consider copywriting those.
I like that name "FreedomFadingFast". I just get irritated when the sheople don't look behind the curtain.
Sheople
Can't speak for Spartan, but my definition is "those that can't/won't think for themselves and therefore follow the herd no matter how absurd" Similar to a lemming.
Example: I'm voting for such and such candidate because said candidate's party tells me he is the best guy for the job. Or, I agree with such and such policy because my favorite news outlet tells me it is for the best.
Sheople can easily be identified as those who believe words over actions. i.e. Chooses to believe a politician's words in a debate/speech over politician's congressional voting record.
Hope this helps Rick. Rocks can get smarter. :)
wow , this could be 80% of America's population .
I'd say closer to 90% and have been saying it for quite awhile. Most on here don't seem to like that. But hey, freedom allows for dislike. No?
Don't care for most reality shows myself, although Ice Road Truckers and Pawn Stars are OK. Cracks me up on Pawn Stars how folks will come in and be told by an expert their item is worth say $2000 but they'll pawn it off for $800. All I can think is "sell it to a collector for the full $2000 you idiot". Oh well, that freedom thing again.
Rick,
Maybe you should start your own reality show.
"Dumb as a Box of Rocks" about a Lakota Souix who tells it like it is, political correctness be dammed. I predict a smash hit and $millions$ for you. (Not to mention the Box of Rocks groupies)
Maybe a lot of people (or "sheople" as you like to call them) are kinda busy with life, you know, jobs, kids, home maintenence, sleeping, etc...and may not be able to sit at their computers for hours every day trying to figure out who is lying and who is telling the truth. It is very COMPLICATED, and no, not all of us have the knowledge (background, not intelligence) to figure out exactly how Obamacare affects us, or what effect the Federal reserve has on the economy, without a LOT of time spent researching. Your "Sheople" remarks are offensive.

As all of these things greatly affect you and your family's present and future. I would say you are remiss in not seeking the knowledge to know these things. Just my opinion.

That's the reason you need to pay attention and not let CBS or Fox blow wind up your skirt because much of what they say is half-lies. Look at what the candidates are really offering instead of who wins the likable contest. Its gonna take a leader that admits we have to cut costs and will back it up.
Its a pleasure to just stay home, turn off the TV and read a good clean murder mystery.Just finished one of Rex Stout's Nero Wolfe mysteries. Beats any of Obama's senseless utterances by a country mile.
And of course you assume that I am not "seeking the knowledge", and that I am not aware that our future is at stake, or that we need to make huge chnages and cut costs. Just please stop using the term "sheople" (although I believe you meant "sheeple"), its that kind of "you are all stupid and uninformed" attitude that drives PEOPLE away. Although by now most have probably seen that there is a very small sandbox on Speakout and don't pay a lot of attention.
