Speak Out 9/8/2015

Mass deporting

Well, I am thinking we need to do more than that. What about all the English, French, Germans, Irish, Jewish and all the others that came in the ships of Columbus and the other shiploads? They need to be deported too, as well as any of their siblings. The only ones that should be here according to Trump and some Republicans are the Indians. Even Trump shouldn't be here. Guess he would have to deport himself.

Poor lady

Yes, this is about Hillary Clinton. I wish the news media would get off that poor lady's case. Hillary Clinton would be the best president that this United States of America could have. Do your research. When Bill Clinton was in office, this country was in great shape. We had more jobs, the minimum wage went up, and the country was really in good shape. It didn't have half the problems we have now. Get off of Hillary Clinton's back, people. She would be the best president of the United States of America that we could ever have. And Donald Trump would not be a good president.

Pay for play

Will there be a sliding scale based on the ability to pay for customers at Cape's new sports complex? It only seems fair that those at the lower end of the economic spectrum have an equal chance to participate in activities there.

Court culture

We're No. 1! Missouri has replaced Texas as leading the nation in per capita executions, partly because we have a reliable source of pentobarbital, whose ingredients, compounded or not, we won't share with other states. On the opposite end of the spectrum, we're 49th in per capita public spending for the poor. Aren't you proud?

West Wing

I agree with a Chicago Tribune column. If a retired neurosurgeon, a real estate developer and reality TV star can make a serious run for the presidency, there's no need to wait until 2020 to enter the fray. He still has time for the 2016 race. Come on, Kanye West!!

Resign already

The county clerk in Kentucky does not want to issue marriage certificates to same sex couples. Then she can just resign; it is win-win. They do not have to issue the marriage certificates and their private war on the U.S. Constitution can come to an end. It is sad that they could not do their jobs and leave their religious beliefs at their office door. It is called separation of church and state for a reason.

Which sin?

To the lady who refuses to give gay couples marriage licenses based on religious beliefs, I guess you're not issuing any to adulterers as well as that is also a sin or do you pick and choose which sin is OK?
