MILTON — Here are the latest calls and comments on srpressgazette.com we received on Santa Rosa County and Milton area issues.
TRUMP SHOULD JOIN ‘THE BRADY BUNCH’
Yes, I feel sorry for America if Donald Trump becomes president. I have a place to go, but a lot of people here, they don't have another house to go — only if they make a tent.
But that man is a sore loser; that he don't have the charisma to talk to people, especially when he went to New Orleans — that was lousy what he did, and the way he talks.
And his new manager, whatever; that lady, like I said before, does she come from a recycle or what? Because she doesn't have the grace of God to talk to people, either.
She should be quitting — both of them (should) — and maybe join a family almost like the Brady Bunch.
DON'T FORGET WHO RAISED TAXES
Yes, this is Joe. I want to remind people it's time to vote again in Santa Rosa County, and not to forget who raised the gasoline tax 6 cents, spent $5 million on fixing the bridge on Mulat (Road).
So I say to all of you, maybe it's time to select and elect new people for Santa Rosa County.
WHAT THE FLAG MEANS
This is Oscar. I heard on TV tonight at one of Donald Trump’s campaign rallies a bunch of freaks; misfits burning an American flag.
They don't know it, but they just burnt their country.
Here's why: Betsy Ross made the first American flag. Here is what it stands for:
●The blue background of the flag stands for the land of the free.
●The stars stand for each colony and, now, for each state.
●The red stripes stand for the blood that was shed by the armed forces from each state. That is what they stand for.
●The white stripe, it stands for liberty and justice for all.
When you salute the flag or recite the Pledge of Allegiance, think about it. It has some of the same words on it.
WE PAY ENOUGH TAXES
Yes, this is Bill. I am totally against the half-cent local option sales tax for in-discretion funding.
Where has all the tax money that we have spent year after year, decade after decade, gone? What are they doing with those funds to support all the departments in Santa Rosa County?
We do not need the half-cent sales tax for local options. That is why we should vote for new county commissioners.
TRUMP IS NOT AMERICAN
Yes, I don't know why you guys, Republicans for Donald Trump, think he is really American. Because American people are not like that; hateful, mean.
He is the bigot, not Hillary Clinton. He is the bigot. Look at how he's treating everyone. He is not American.
… Nobody knows the land that made him. Maybe his mother didn't want to have him and he got away with somebody else.
That is not the kind of person that deserves to be in this country.
