“As a resident of Cherokee, I would like to say a very big thank you to those that worked so hard in making our little town come to life. It looks beautiful with the Christmas decorations, the paintings and the wreaths and the lights. Thanks so much.”

“Alabama’s media may be too conservative. I don’t know because I’m conservative, but I know for sure that there’s many people in churches that are very liberal. The problem we have here is the liberals appearing to be conservative when they’re really not.”

“This is about the people who wanted secession. Well, they all ought to be tried for treason and shot.”

“Amy Bishop Anderson, this is one Alabamian that does deserve an appeal. She deserves the electric chair.”

“This is to all you people who dump animals off on the side of the road. I hope one day you become homeless and hungry and searching for shelter and food. Shame on you.”

“Fox News Network has proven itself to be just a propaganda machine concerning the Benghazi attack. False information concerning Ambassador Susan Rice. Incidentally, Republicans, including Paul Ryan, voted to cut $300 million from the budget for security for our embassies. Far and balanced? Not even close.”

“The person who called in about Hostess ... closing and people losing their jobs, and how they hoped that whoever voted for Obama would be first to lose their jobs, I think that is terrible for somebody to wish. Why blame Obama for everything?”

“I was calling in regard to the Auburn coach getting so much money not to finish his contract. I’d like to know where our priorities are. We have veterans that are living in cardboard boxes under interstates and we’ve got a man that’s coaching football making that kind of money? Stop and think about the veterans. They’re the ones who put their lives on the line. ... We need to get our priorities straight in this world.”

“I want to thank Mike Goens for his column about priorities in Alabama. I was just thinking the same thing. It is sad and pathetic that the majority of people in this state think that boys running around a field fighting over a ball is the most important thing in life. Maybe that is why Alabama is always at the bottom of the list when it comes to quality of life.”

“During the holiday season, when people are asking for donations for the food banks and for the Toys for Tots, also think about donating to the animal shelter. They could use help as well. They just don’t have any way to ask for it. So please put some generosity toward helping the animals.”

“This is for all politicians, especially the Republicans. They need to sign a pledge to uphold what the voters want and not what lobbyists want.”

“People complain about the lack of cooperation between the parties and Congress. Well, folks, it was cooperation that got us to this economic crisis in the first place. Now they want the taxpayers to pay our way out of it. And don’t think for a minute they’re only going to tax the rich. We’re all going to pay.”

“I don’t know why people in Alabama think that Obama is the problem here. Nothing has changed, even with him in office. He was left with a mess from Bush, who all these clowns voted for. Things will change if you give him time. It’s not him. Don’t think the new guy would have done any better because he’s not for the poor. He’s for the rich.”
