Re: Daily Home - Wanted: Feedback sought on new Daily Home Web site

Format looks good.Don't do as you have in the past though.You had too much coverage of St.Clair County and Pell City.They don't even read it . Over the years the people around here have have been calling the Talladega Daily Home the Pell City Daily home.

Also be aware of suspicious day time visitors.Three times this summer I feel like some of the people that have come by here were " casing the place".One even had some chicken with them to feed my dog.They all had lame excuses for being here.They all asked questions directed at our grandchildren about our daytime activities.There are alot of people out there trying to get at what you've worked hard to pay for.

We need a Publix or a WinnDixie Super store there.I'd evan settle for another Piggly Wiggly there.

Re: Daily Home - You're already paying for socialized medicine

theoldranger — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 05:11:01 -0000

You are correct.Medicare and medicaid are socialized medicine.We have had them for years.Insurance companies,pharmaceutical companies,hospital corporations and "mega"doctors are responsible for the high medical cost in this country.
They are the ones that should be taxed along with their CEO's to pay for public healthcare cost.They drove the cost up so make them pay for it and not "John Q.Citizen".

Re: Daily Home - It's showtime!

I am happy to see the theater have a successful opening night.
This permit thing and " permission "thing or custom goes back many years.
That's the way the old political machine worked in Sylacauga.It kept competition out of town for some of the old established family run businesses.I think it is a custom that has been carried over through the years.I hope one of these days our city government will get a little more progressive.

Re: Daily Home - PAC-to-PAC money should be banned

theoldranger — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 12:23:17 -0000

Not only do I agree with you here, I think all PACs should be outlawed along with all lobbiest.The PACs and the lobbiest are the only people the legislators are representing. They do not listen to the common man any more. He just a lone voice crying in the wilderness.

Re: Daily Home - Sylacauga movie theater

theoldranger — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 01:46:58 -0000

This should do well if it is run right.
Show family oriented movies.Keep it clean.Keep it safe.Be courteous.Don't overcharge.Let people know what's showing and the show times.

Re: Daily Home - Second try in 10 years to improve cellular coverage

Communications is very important in our day and age.It is important for our safety and well being and the growth of our city.
To who ever is envolved, if you are in over your head technical wise, hire an out side consultant. No one will think badly of you for it.
Do what is right for the public for a change.

Re: Daily Home - Excuses not explanations from Palin

theoldranger — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 08:28:06 -0000

The Daily Home indeed has George Will's column .But the spin you put on your own opinions and editorials is clearly liberal and it filters through in how you report the news.

Re: Daily Home - Excuses not explanations from Palin

Had this been Ms. Nancy Pelosi we would not heard anything out of this liberal fishwrapper.

Re: Daily Home - Independence Day - A deeper meaning for Americans like Kent

theoldranger — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 01:10:16 -0000

That is a true American.

From Shakespeare's Henry V, 1598:

KING HENRY V:
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remember'd;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,

Thank you Kent for your service.

Re: Daily Home - The marijauana debate

That's all we need!!! Thousands of Pot Heads running amok.I've seen first hand what it does to people , instead of mellowing someone out it makes them crazy as hell, especially after a few beers.
The real reason none of our laws don't seem to deter anything is because they are not tough enough and they are selectively applied, they are not as tough on the rich as they are the poor.If our laws were harsher and equally applied then you could see some results.

I cannot see where it is closed mindness to know Christ.He is the essence of Godliness and humanity at the same time.To know him is to love him.

It is intuitivly obvious these Agnostics have not been touched or moved by the Holy Spirit in some way.God spells out how he is going to deal with them in the Holy Scriptures. Far be it from me to make their final call.
My God is an awesome God.

I see from some of the comments we have people in our city that is not greatful we live in the United States.Go to Iran or North Korea and gripe and see where that lands you. As bad as it seams here sometimes it's always worse somewhere elese.
God bless the USA !!!!

Re: Daily Home - Obama right on Iran stance

theoldranger — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 23:50:17 -0000

IRAN is another Islamic dictatorship that protects terrorism and sends it out to the rest of the world.We will have to deal with them sooner or later.
