Liberals should quit resorting to violence
Placeholder Image
Editor, Violent protests are the exclusive domain of liberals. Liberal mobs riot in the streets, attacking police, turning over cars and setting them on fire. They take these opportunities to loot businesses in the middle of their violent activities. Many children of liberal parents are raised to be hoodlums. They are taught to be violent to get their way.
I have never seen violence from a conservative mob. I’ve never even heard of a conservative mob.
The difference between the street thug liberals and liberal politicians is the politicians suppress their violent tendencies only to plot much more destructive looting of private business and the American taxpayer. The biggest hoodlum in politics right now is our mobster-in-chief, President Obama.
Liberals want criminals and terrorists set free because personal responsibility has no place in the ideal liberal world. In stark contrast, liberals consistently want law enforcement officers and prosecutors put in jail because they put radical leftist criminals and terrorists in jail.
When a liberal politician commits a crime, he is treated as a hero by his colleagues and the media. They will not hold any liberal politician accountable for any crime. If a conservative politician has any tiny perceived conflict of interest, his colleagues run him out of office.
Liberal politicians say that they cannot be held to any moral code because they attest to have no morals. Immoral (fake) conservatives are denounced by other conservatives and driven out of office.
Now, some Democrats in Congress are claiming that they were spat upon or called politically incorrect names during their disgusting victory march through the capital entrance on Sunday, March 21. A brick was thrown through one of the health-care mobster’s windows. Rep. Louise Slaughter of New York was that “alleged” victim.
I think it is much more likely that these acts, if true, were committed by Democrats so they can claim to be victims. They do this all the time with hangman nooses and racist graffiti on college campuses and elsewhere.
If these spitting and name-calling acts actually happened, we would have seen video proof, unless the video proves it was all a setup.

Showing gratitude for service

Dear editor: Another election cycle is finally over and the voters of Bryan County have spoken. We will have three new county commissioners in January 2011.
My congratulations go out to Jimmy Henderson of District 5, Carter Infinger of District 4 and Wade Price of District 2. I look forward to working with them as we continue to take care of the business of the county.
All three races were contested, which gave the voters a choice of who they wanted as their commissioner. Those who did not prevail in this election are to be applauded for offering themselves as candidates.
Our county owes a debt of gratitude to retiring commissioners Rick Gardner with eight years of service, Blondean Newman with eight years of service as a commissioner and 30 years as tax commissioner, and Toby Roberts with 18 years on the county commission.
These three spent many hours establishing policies and procedures for our county government and many meetings with state and local officials to achieve the best possible outcomes regarding our county on numerous issues. Their many years of experience will be sorely missed.
I well remember the first time I ran for public office and lost. Sometimes those who are not elected are the winners because they don’t have to go to all the meetings – that is said with tongue in cheek, of course.
After my loss, someone sent me the following quotation from President Theodore Roosevelt, which I keep on the wall in my office:
“It is not the critic who counts, not the one who points out how the strong man stumbled or how the doer of deeds might have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred with sweat and dust and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, if he wins, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”
And my wish for all the citizens of Bryan County is to have a truly blessed Christmas and a prosperous and happy New Year’s.

Jimmy Burnsed
Chairman
Board of commissioners
