You Said It

"Thumbs up to Michael Darling for volunteering and taking volunteering to a new level. His reward will be great for the joy he brings the senior citizens in the assisted or nursing facilities. God bless you, Michael."

"We don't need more gun control. We need more Obama and Biden control."

"We've proved that Auburn not only has brains. Miss New York proves that we have beauty."

"President Obama has proven to be a reasonable man and his administration, his policies has kept us safe. We're headed back for a recovery and all the many other good things that's happened in the last term. But this one thing, I hope he'll stand his ground. These ... Republicans wanting to shut the government down, call their bluff. They're saying that the Social Security checks don't show up, so what. They may find out. It may be a Democratic-controlled House, Senate and the presidency for the next two terms."

"As a child, I remember there were guns in the house for hunting. Don't think there was a pistol there at that time, I know there was rifles and shotguns for hunting and there was also fishing equipment. My husband loved hunting and he had all types of guns. Now, they weren't out loaded where our children could see and use them. But, people are so afraid of guns. Think about the knives ... the criminal is going to find a way to kill if he wants to kill."

"I'm so sick of trying to watch television. Every time you turn around, there's one of those lawyer advertisements on there. They go on all day and all night."

"I am a legal citizen. I own a gun legally. I have a gun permit. I am not a criminal, but I do not want criminals that have guns coming in my home and shooting us. I will protect my family. What is wrong with the legal citizens protecting their families legally?"

"Last year, 1.3 million babies were killed in the United States by abortion clinics. Let's get rid of them."

"I wonder how many other old timers out there remember the coon on a log events they used to have at Ghost Bridge. Lots of coon hunters would bring their dogs out to prove that their dog was the champion of the log. It drew a lot of people on many afternoons."

"I wish people would realize about the AR style military weapons they keep talking about. An AR Platform is like a body style, like a vehicle. The insides are semi-automatic. You have to squeeze the trigger each time you want to fire. ... So, I wish people would read up and quit listening to all the hype because people do hunt with the AR platforms - coyote hunting and some big game. I wish people would do some research before they make up their minds. I'm retired U.S. military and proud of it."
