You said it
  • “I agree with your editorial that Brooks is tilting at windmills. He needs to understand that he should follow the traditions of his predecessors by taking his governmental perks, running up a debt and get a job as a lobbyist.”

  • “Thanks so much for your editorial about Mo Brooks. I thoroughly agree with it. How can this man deny aid to people in New York when we in Alabama received so much because of Katrina and the tornadoes we had? Thanks, again, for your great editorial”

  • “They’re trying to pass the new law to where they can give you a blood test just driving down the road for suspicion of alcohol and drugs. Now, some drugs are different and I do agree with the blood test on alcohol. But, listen, there’s people that take pain medication every day because they need it, not because they’re dope heads. Even some of the officials and everybody else take pain medication.”

  • “Mo Brooks must be doing an excellent job, just what we voted for him to do, if you wrote an editorial attacking him.”

  • “I would just like to know why the cheerleaders have to ride 800 miles on a bus while the football team gets to fly home on an airplane. That just does not seem fair to me.”

  • “I was just calling about the Muscle Shoals policeman shooting a deer off of federal land from a car. State law says you have to be 50 yards off of the road to fire a center-fire rifle, much less a police officer. I guess if the Muscle Shoals police can do it, anybody can do it.”

  • “Those of us that were in law enforcement or education prior to the Newtown, Conn., school shooting were shocked and saddened, but we are more outraged at the stance the White House has taken toward innocent gun owners. Guns are not the problem. People are the problem. I guess Ben Franklin said it the best when he said that people that are willing to give up liberty for security deserve neither liberty nor security.”

  • “Hey there, Mr. Editor, in your ‘Demanding excellence’ article making Alabama No. 1 in more than football, you subtilely efforted to incorporate football into the political arena. Yes, it makes newsprint. They’re two different games, with different playing fields.”
