Speak Out July 1

Thursday, June 25

Yes this s Raymond and I would like to say it is time for America to start realizing black people are Americans as well. We are not second class citizens, we are citizens. Just as well as those that come here that are immigrants. First of all, white Americans who immigrated from England were colonist and they were not treated like second class citizens by the Indians, but they overtook the Indians. So it’s time for America to realize that the Confederate Flag is being used as a sheer for hate and remind us of those that are haters of people of color. This is not a United States. This is a shameful state. This is a shameful country because they accept evil for goodness and treat goodness with evil.

Hey this is Jesse. I just want to say a few quick things about the world. The world has gone to hell in a hand basket. The courts have allowed gays and lesbians to get married.  What are they going to do band the Bible next? And about the Confederate Flag. My grandpa was in the Confederate Army that is what the flag means to me. It don’t mean hatred or nothing else mean. Its these sick individuals that got the devil in their brain, which got problems with it and they are using it for a tool. You done already taken the Bible out of the schools. A gun don’t kill anybody it takes a sick person to pull the trigger.

Hey, My name is Mike Camp for Molina. I would like to say that people are crazy concerning the rebel flag. They all the time trying to stir that mess up. They blame the flag and guns for what killed them people last week. All it was there was no love for Christ in that boys heart or soul and people have forgotten about God in society. They want to talk about how the rebel flag supports and reflects on slavery. Well the institution of slavery was flourishing 90 years before the Civil War under the American Flag. Well if they are going to take down the rebel flag, they need to take down the American Flag too. Besides this there was a holocaust on American soil, like the Jews were persecuted from the Nazis that has to do with the North American Indians, between 1840 and 1890, okay all of that was done under the American Flag too. So if they are going to get rid of the Confederate Flag, they need to be politically correct and get their facts straight and go ahead and take the American Flag down while they are at it. Thank you.

Hello this is Jane, In reading Saturday’s paper. I noticed Governor Scott cut Milton’s Riverwalk from the budget. It is just as well, because Milton cannot figure out what to do with the road traffic being blocked on Highway 90. Why don’t they figure what to do with that and put in a bypass, so we don’t have to go through Milton, like they were talking about several years ago that would join Highway 90 with Stewart? That would be so much nicer than a Riverwalk. Thank you
