• lt The University of Georgia opens the football season against the University of Buffalo. Georgia would have a better and harder game if they played the Griffin High Bears. Georgia certainly knows how to avoid the likes of Alabama, Arkansas and LSU.

• A vote for Bob Gilreath and Eddie Freeman is a vote for the new airport. Come on voters in Districts 3 and 4, do your job.

• Think about this. If chickens practiced same-sex companionship, we would have no eggs and would soon run out of chickens, and there would be no Chick-fil-A, Zaxby’s, KFC, Church’s or Popeyes.

• If you don’t shop at Ingles and won’t be using the Moreland Road extension that T-SPLOST money will be paying for, do you think there is any chance that other Spalding County residents can get some of the T-SPLOST money spent on a road that will make it easier for them to get to their grocery store?

• Southern Gospel is great and I love the old gospel hymns but there’s nothing wrong with new music as well. As long as it’s praising God, that is what really matters.

• Let’s play a game. I am a county commissioner, I supply the county with most of the gasoline they use. My wife is running for an elected position and so is my accountant. Who am I? Is this Jeopardy or Monopoly?

• Mr. Freeman says that we need to create jobs and develop businesses in Griffin and Spalding County, yet he, Gilreath and Ray voted to destroy Golden Girl Ministries without telling them what to do to satisfy the three commissioners and keep their business going. Their mouths say “we need businesses,” but their hands vote to end businesses. Who said politicians couldn’t talk out both sides of their mouths and vote differently with their hands at the same time?

• To the secular, progressive, liberal writing that everyone of us who watch Fox News and then write to My Two Cents are intellectual midgets, nothing I write is because of Fox News. I can read, search the internet and make my own decisions. That cannot be said of most Democrats, they believe what they are told. Now, if you want to debate anything that I have written, lets get it on. One more thing, everything you know has been written or said by someone before you.

• Organized crime is alive and well in Griffin-Spalding County. The citizens are being robbed by these mobsters, the tax assessor, the commissioners, the school board, the electric department, the water department, and all other county and city departments that are sucking our wallets dry. Always wanting more money and making empty promises.

• To get a new airport would require a bridge to be built over Cabin Creek. They could call it “The Bridge to Nowhere No. 2.” Vote no.

• I used to have a lot of respect for Joe Paterno and Penn State but what hypocrites they turned out to be.

• It would be kind of hard for the apostle Paul to have read the King James Bible, since he lived about 1,500 years before it came out.

• Just to let all the folks know, who seem to think they can dump their tires, trash and live and dead animals on the dirt part of Smoak Road, we are installing several wildlife motion sensor cameras. So when you are doing what you know is wrong, smile cause you will be on candid camera for the sheriff’s department to deal with you.

• Wasn’t there an ordinance or law passed saying people are supposed to keep their animals confined to their own property? Then why am I constantly having to chase other folks’ dogs out of my yard? Maybe Animal Control should make a few trips down Smoak road early in the morning or late in the evening, when people seem to think they can let their dogs roam free to pester and harass everyone else.

• The Georgia Bulldogs are going to win it all this year.

• Ronda Rich’s column about the King James version of the Bible was off by a year. The 400th anniversary was last year — 1611 + 400 = 2011. Shakespeare was writing, in the language of the people, about that time. If anyone can read and clearly Shakespeare’s work, then you will get a lot out of the KJV.

• I fully support Chick-fil-A. Thank goodness there are business people who will take a stand for family values.

• I am proud to say that I am a black, Republican, conservative honor student. This fact goes against the assumption that all black people are Democrats, liberals, and high school dropouts.

• The secular, progressive liberals in America don’t want anyone to show their identification when voting. There is a reason for that stance; any illegal can vote and most are Democrats. I have to show my identification at doctor’s office, hospital, when voting, when purchasing anything with credit card or writing a check to purchase anything. I don’t complain and make foolish statements that I’m being profiled about it either.

• “The shared, central project of the three regimes (Pol Pot, Joseph Stalin, and Mao Zedong, all atheistic regimes) was a total re-design of society in ways unrestrained by human feelings or morality. Without these, people who did not fit the plan could be re-designed or eliminated.” — Jonathan Glover, British philosopher.

• There’s only one authorized version of the Bible and that’s the King James. All others are false translations because the Bible says you’re not supposed to add to or take away from God’s word. These people who are reading other versions need to repent and go back to reading the Kings James before it’s too late.

• I think commuter rail and public transportation is a great idea. In fact, personal ownership of vehicles should be severely restricted by local, state and federal governments.

• “Vote no on the T-SPLOST.” John Devlin, thank you on behalf of people of Spalding County for your July 27 letter to the GDN. You stated the truth on all four points of your letter. We need more citizens who share your feelings and opinions to step up and be heard. If there were more, such wastefully silliness as this tax would not even come up for a vote. I wish more people with your straight-forward thinking would run for public office, but it doesn’t seem like that is ever going to happen. I hope enough people read your letter and get fired up to vote down this evil tax down. John, I speak for the good people of Spalding County, a big hearty thank you to you, sir.
