Why is Dougherty County the only county in the State of Georgia without an elected tax commissioner? The county needs an independent tax commissioner that does not report to the county manager and County Commission! Someone needs to be held accountable for reducing the amount of tax-exempt properties in the county.

Read a funny comment the other day on a website. Liberal commentator said conservatives are always starting fights against the Liberals, liberals are peaceful people that get along with anybody. Has to be a heavy Kool-Aid drinker.

I cringe every time I see Ann Coulter’s face on the Herald’s op-ed page. Why is the paper lately giving her so much space to spout her abominable opinions?

In America we take money from people who work hard for it and give it to people who don’t want to work. The land of opportunity has become the land of handouts.

My prediction is coming true. After removing confederate flags and statues, now they are changing street names. Alexandria, Virginia has decided to rename Jeff Davis Hwy. ESPN took off a broadcaster because his name was Robert Lee.

Just like traffic from Meadowlark has diverted to Partridge, et al, traffic from Autumn will divert to Harvest and Whisperwood. Albany speed tables create or add to problems on other streets to satisfy commission friends on one street. More stupidity.

The Sabal Trail horse is out of the barn and it’s too late to shut the barn door.

If Donald Trump wants a wall so bad let him spend some of his billions and start building. Don’t shut down the government for just a stupid wall. He needs to be removed from office.

For eight years when Obama was president, you told us to shut up, Obama is president, get over it, deal with it. So now Trump is the president, time for you to practice what you preach.

Someone explain this to me. The courts say a high school coach cannot take a “knee” AFTER a game but it is OK for professional football players to take a “knee” BEFORE a game. Has this country gone crazy or what?

CBS News story criticized Trump accusing him of telling his core followers what they wanted to hear. For eight years Obama did that exact same thing but I guess that is A-OK because he is King (Can do no wrong) Obama.

In 1960 Khrushchev was quoted as saying, “We do not have to invade the USA; we will destroy you from within.” We are well on our way to proving him right, thanks to the Democrats.

In order to communicate successfully in the South, y’all have to know how to fix a picher thatsa hanging catty-whompas. If yaun’t to be more verbose, then y’all need to learn some more words. I been piddling around nearbout, hankering to kill some ‘nats, but I got all tore up when Bubba figured he was gonna out do me. I egged him on, ‘cause I’d ruther him get the credit. With that said, I’m fixing to close. Y’all come back now, you heah?

We would be smart to learn from history rather than to destroy it.
