“Will our Alabama governor please try and do better for the lower income people of Alabama? Accept the insurance that we need so badly, especially Medicaid for our children.”

“I appreciate the article about funeral processions. I think the biggest problem is that most new cars nowadays automatically have their lights on. Using flashers is a very good idea. I wish more people would do it and then we could tell which cars are in the funeral procession and which cars are not.”

“You do realize that most people aren’t interested in the photos on your phone because they’re interested in the photos on their own phone.”

“I wanted to comment on the teacher/coach who expressed his views at school. A male teacher and coach who talks and acts like this is a bad influence on teenagers ... but he’s a coach. And, in Alabama, that means everything — so I guess it’s OK.”

“I’m calling to say thumbs up to the You Said It person who called in and said the school teacher needed thumbs up for coming forward. I think the same thing. He said that man’s freedom of speech, if we don’t have that we don’t have anything. That is so right. The schoolteacher in Rogersville exercised his free speech, and that’s what I’m exercising. I think we should have free speech to say what we think. Some people won’t like it and some people will, but that’s free speech. That’s America.”

“I’m calling about Bob Grisham, the coach who showed his ... attitude under the guise of free speech. God help us all when teachers can preach to our teenagers. This is not a time or a place, and he needed to be fired. But, I forget, he’s a coach.”

“You know, I was reading in the paper about the police chief in Sheffield Saturday and the attorney for the city said that the police chief had to go since the council couldn’t work together and the mayor. He’s right on the people that need to go, but he’s got the wrong people. Ian Sanford and the ... bunch that sits on the council is the one that needs to go.”

“In response to the You Said It in the Friday paper, teachers go to college to teach the curriculum that they have chosen to specialize in - not to teach their own personal opinions to our children.”

“You know, as a union rep, and I work with the Get Out the Vote across really the Southeast and sometimes in the Northeast, the more the Republicans try to rig the election and suppress minorities from voting and hurt the unions, they don’t realize times have changed. The more people are going to make an effort. If they had to stand in line five hours instead of four to vote, they’re going to do it. So, Republicans, you better get in the modern day ...”

“A recent poll says Hillary Clinton is the most famous person in America. Where was this poll taken? At the Karl Marx University”

“This is for all you guys who buy roses and candy on Valentine’s Day. Wouldn’t it be nicer to say thank you, wife, for what you do for me? You clean, you wash, you cook. I think this would be more appropriate, especially for retirees.”

“You Know, Spotted Owl Gore, used to be vice president under Bill Clinton? He needs to go up to the East Coast up there and spout out his global warming. Tell them people up there. They would probably believe it. They believe anything the Democrats tell them.”

“You see, that’s how the right wing or the conservatives hear things. They hear it through a prism. The person who called in and said if you don’t accept the gay and lesbian lifestyle ... no one ever said that. I read the You Said It every day. What simply was said is we do what Jesus Christ said when you’re quoting at the Bible about God love all people, treat people respectfully. That’s what was said. So don’t hear things through that backward prism.”

“Local controls school flexibility act. Isn’t Alabama wonderful? It’s called home rule in most other states and it works. Welcome to the 21st century.”

“Who really needs to be told that if you fail to do your job you risk losing it? Sheffield needs a new police chief.”

“You look at everything that President Barack Hussein Obama has done. He is setting our nation up for failure. I don’t see why you can’t print it, why you don’t see it, or you see it and you’re part of the problem . He’s not done anything that’s production for this nation whatsoever. Obamacare is going to break us financially. China is building their army up. Russia is building their army up, and we’re depleting ours. He’s setting us up for a takeover. He’s setting us up for America to be destroyed. If you can’t see it, you’re blind.”

“To the caller who said teenagers shouldn’t drink alcohol or smoke marijuana, I think I just passed a liquor store. So, if they’re going to do one, it’s probably going to be the liquor.”

“Why don’t the Republicans crawl off and hide under a rock somewhere and stay there for four years until Obama is out of office? They’re so resentful of anything he tries to do for the average man and for the public. Leave him alone and shut up. After all, everybody’s not millionaires like you rich Republicans.”
