The Sound of the Beep What follows has been transcribed from the answering machine tape on our comment line 273-0898. We edit out what is required by the laws of the state, of good taste and of good sense. The limit on phone calls is one minute and each caller may make up to two calls per week. If you have something to say, call our comment line at 273-0898 and start talking at The Sound of the Beep. Yes, I hope all the Obama voters are happy with seeing their paychecks shrink. Maybe this what they wanted, and sometimes be careful what you wish for. %%% The language the left uses is a deliberate and conscious attempt to manipulate the way you think about things. Thus, only in the last 24 hours, what were previously called gun control measures by the mass media, now, after Obama’s 23 executive orders, they’re now referred to by NPR, and other left-wing outlets, as anti-gun violence measures. Well, who could be pro-gun violence, I ask you? Also, executive orders are no longer referred to on the left as executive orders but executive action, because executive orders no doubt sounds much too dictatorial and regal. But, then, what can we truly expect from King Barry I? And, so, this is the liberal language of lies by which they seek in a calculated way to manipulate the way you think about public policy. Just sign me off as, An Independent Thinker. %%% Obama runs nothing. Senators and big business run everything. Until you get term limits on senators and special interest and lobbyists out of Washington, nothing will ever change. Print that, Hammer. %%% The US is not a democracy. The US is an oligarchy. You might want to print the definition of oligarchy so your uneducated readers know what it means. %%% Well, I guess I’ve about seen it all now. They’re making a movie about Casey Anthony. I just pray that any profits that are made from this movie, or for any book, about this woman who has never been forthcoming about what she did with her child, hopefully the profits will go to help battered children, battered and abused children and that she, or her family, will never see a penny of it. But, of course, that’s probably not really the way things work, now is it? Should be, but not. %%% I’d like to respond to the beep from Steely Dan Fan, man, whoever that fool is, indicating that the police officer was going 15 miles an hour under the speed limit so the woman would pass him so that he could investigate her, subsequently causing her to flee the police and kill herself with a revoked license. The police have a right to go under the limit like everyone does. I’ve never heard where someone must do the maximum speed limit. He was not impeding her. She had ample space to go around him, which she failed to do. So, he had to slow down to get her to come around. And that’s – once he turned on his lights to have her pull over, she refused to do so. She got what she deserved. It’s on her, not on them, the police. And Mr. Steely Dan Fan, man, you better learn how to drive. %%% Editor’s Note: The minimum speed out on the interstate is 45 mph. %%% Well, Ms. Bellamy-Small, I would like to know how many guns you’ve collected this morning. How many white people was there turning in their guns? How many African-Americans? How many Latinos? How many Mexicans? All I got to say is that anybody that would turn in their gun this day and time is crazy as they can be. That’s the kind that’s followed Jim Jones’ people off into the wilderness and drinked poison water. I’d never turn my gun to nobody if I had 50 of them. Anybody that does, they need their head examined, because I’m sure the ones that does the most of the crime wouldn’t dare with their gun. It’s the criminals that has the guns. They have a way of getting guns, and people that … %%% I don’t know who does your proofreading, but you need to get someone else. Because at The Sound of the Beep article from Jan. 10, it said it was continued on page 24 when, indeed, it was continued on page 25. Also, on your Letters to the Editor, it said continued on page number 40, and the whole edition was only 36 pages. So, somebody is asleep at the wheel someplace. And all the criticism of our people on the government comes right back on you; (Continued on page 14)
