Not what Founders had in mind

Jean Kimmel,

I'm not a hater, but still, who the Hell are you to know what the Founding Fathers intended?

You also stated, "When is this country going to get it — the NRA does not run this country, the president and the Congress do."

Really?!

I want to begin my dissertation with, "Here's what YOU don't understand..." but I don't have that kind of time.

Happy Holidays and Merry Xmas!

I’m ‘Walking Dead’ ready for Friday; meet me at the jail

Hello and that is a great idea you have.

BTW, you are my new best friend.

I have prepped a bit and if you are looking for 2 adult and responsible guests, I hope we will be invited.

I will be searching my radios for your audio signal or up in the sky for that non failing visual bat signal to alert those of us that need alerting, and inviting, to that secure location.

Thank you and god have mercy on our souls.

PS. Happy Holidays and Merry Xmas!

LOL Great article!

Why didn’t God stop the massacre?

Another GREAT article Bertram!

A loving God??? Bertram, you don't know anything about the bible. The catholic, christian bible god is the most violent and narcissist god ever brought to life.

A loving God is forgiving of all, especially his own children, correct? If not, then God could not be loving, correct?

A Marine stationed overseas with more than 14 kills to his credit told me, "God wasn't where he was stationed". Aren't we taught that god fights for good?

A LOVING God allows the innocent to be killed?

Babies born in Mexico without brains, buildings and babies blown apart in Oklahoma, babies killed in their home on Youngstowns' streets.

It's not a question of where is the LOVING God. It's a question of where are the people? Especially, where are the christians and the catholics?

I know where the christians and the catholics are.

They are hiding in their homes. They are hiding once a year at The Covelli Center.

They are hiding behind their yearly get togethers and seminars, all spouting how bad it is and how they all must band together, under god, for change and become more involved.

They are hiding behind parking lot murders and out of nowhere vatican decrees. They are hiding behind blameless politicians and hiding behind their spiritual power in finger pointing at anyone who doesn't hide with them.

And it is said christ, in end times, will return to fight the antichrist and we will know the new christ as he will display a knife between his teeth and slay every non believer and the blood will wallow in the streets.

A LOVING God Bertram?

My, my, my. I didn't know you wrote dry humor.

Happy Holidays and Merry Xmas!

Retiring Jim Petro leaves a record of exemplary public service

@ Photoman,

I wholeheartedly agree with you sir.

I do not agree wholeheartedly with the article-

"Even though Petro is a Republican his ability to attract Democratic votes in hard-core regions like the Mahoning Valley is a testament to his skill as a politician and his commitment to service as an officeholder."

Petro is a good man, but his votes from the Mahoning County voters ARE primarily because the Mahoning County voters are sheep and don't know the issues - Mahoning County voters have name recognition only and vote the same old same old into office again and again.

The proof is many a good Republican candidate has been passed over elected office simply because of felon, er,.. name recognition.

Another Mahoning County voter sheep example is why would Mahoning County voters elect Commissioner Carol Rimedio-Righetti?

BTW, Paul Drennen for Mayor.

Doomsday prepping: Much ado about nothing?

Sorry Denise, but is this story about prepping for doomsday or about what one would do if the end of the world is nigh?

Judging by the article title, I was hoping for more what local folks are doing if they were preppers. Unfortunately, the article story / information isn't related to the title.

What are Valley shoppers' last minute must-have gifts

@ uselesseater, and;
@ islandmike:

RIGHT ON!

Clearing inventory is all the shops are doing for tax purposes and I am following their reports.

Obama IS the man and legend! I am very much looking forward to his 2nd term.

Hillary would be awesome!

BTW, isn't Rep. Tim Ryan a Disney animatronic robot? He sure knows how to read a script without a teleprompter...
