Rant & Raves for Wednesday, November 28, 2012

VALDOSTA — To the raver that is happy that Obama is back in the White House, just wondering when the last time you held a job or paid taxes or health insurance? The answer is probably haven’t that would explain why you wanted him for four more. You must be part of the “Give me more” liberals.



When you watch a news channel that is censored by the government, did I happen to mention CNN, then you only hear what they want you to. Try watching Fox or the Blaze and get the real story about the lies, deception, and cover up in your White House. Open your eyes and your mind.



The Bible reveals that the early church never demanded the giving of tithes. They made collections of money to share with the believers in need. Does your pastor return the money to you? No, he takes it all and gives himself 90 percent or more of every dime and a tiny portion goes to some worthy cause of some sort to make it look OK, but the early church never did this.



The Valdosta City School system has set up a great tool called Parent Portal for us to keep up with our children’s grades, but it is useless if the teachers do not input the grades until the end of the nine weeks. I do my job as a parent to make sure my child follows the rules and does what is required of him/her in class, so I am asking the same of you.



We need to pass an ordinance that bums can only beg on church property, with written permission from the church. If none of the many churches don’t want them begging on their property, the police take the bums out of town and remind them that Valdosta is the third poorest city in the U.S. Go beg in a wealthy town.



Rave to VP for Student Affairs/Dean’s Office and VSU Foundation for announcing VSU students get in free to next week’s playoff game against Carson-Newman. Just show up at the game with your student ID!



I met a group of angels from the time we entered until the time the angels came from heaven. They are Langdale Hospice house employees. What special people they are with a difficult job. From admission to the end, perfect. Love you all.



Nearly 50 percent of the U.S. people are takers. I’m selling my house and buying a motor home thereby denying them of my support money.



What President do you know in the past that has paid for your phone bill, cable or water bill or iPad in the past?

    Over 150 applicants applied for the handful of teaching jobs in Lowndes County. Plus, almost every single paraprofessional is a certified teacher who has been waiting patiently, “doing their time.” And, Lake Park Elementary hires a teacher who has quit, not once, but twice before. The "good ole' boy" network at its finest.

    Have we progressed to the point where we are arguing about gay marriage? I thought the South was still outraged about blacks being able to marry whites! Hmm...We will catch up to the rest of the world eventually.

    I found the cartoon referencing Tim Tebow's Christianity on Thursday's editorial page very offensive. I can agree that many people are out for what God can do for them, not how they can serve God, But I do not see any evidence of that attitude or life style in Tim Tebow's life. Time will tell.

    Good riddance to the doctor unable to take Medicaid patients?! Do you work for free? I bet you go to work and expect a paycheck. Why would the doctor be any different? Blame our fearless leaders, not the doctors. And you are WAY out of line questioning whether that person is Christian or not. Sounds like the person who thinks preachers should work for free.

    Amazing: Even a judgmental person like yourself can’t even bother to get the facts straight before you criticize something. Jason Collins did an extremely brave thing by coming out in a world filled with people such as yourself. Words of Wisdom: Leave the judging to God.

    Raves to Mrs. Kay and Mrs. Sylvia at Cook Primary! They have the best behaved class and are the best teachers in that school!

    To all who use Coleman Road as a short cut between Old Highway 41 North and North Valdosta Road, please remember the speed limit is 35, not 65. Tailgating me isn’t going to make me go faster. Remember, it’s our neighborhoods, not your short cut!

    I hope Al Sharpton finds time to visit the mother in Brunswick whose baby was shot point blank in the forehead while in his baby stroller. Perhaps the reverend could also counsel the angry young black man who pulled the trigger. Oh wait, the baby was white. Never mind.

    I thought that all schools had dress codes that the teachers and substitutes had to follow? When I walk into the school it looks like they are headed to the pool instead of the classroom. Tank tops and skimpy skirts are not allowed. Come on, administration, make them follow the rules. Thank you, to the teachers and staff that do adhere to the dress code.

    Property tax should be based on value. School taxes should be separate and assessed to each household equally, no exemptions. The rich, middle and poor should pay equally for children's public education.
