Marriage is for procreation
It has become more and more apparent that in our present world of political correctness, and the choice by some to ignore the good Lord's will in everything, that we are swiftly and blindly moving toward great tragedy in our lives.

Coulter's claims are erroneous
It was the "democratic Ku Klux Klan" who used gun control laws "to keep guns out of the hands of blacks," conjures Ann Coulter in attacking gun law proponents during a recent Bill O'Reilly interview. The astoundingly context-challenged Coulter says "the Republicans in the south weren't discriminatory."

Nurse's letter is contradictory
After reading the letter from nurse Mary Seale to Gov. Bryant, I felt compelled to write this letter. It seems that nurse Seale is a bit confused about what abortion is all about. She proudly says that she's a conservative and is pro-abortion, but that it doesn't mean she is for killing babies in the womb. She also says that she's been insulted by Gov. Bryant.

Corporations are People
I am not a student of politics. I chose instead to study a more factual path; history and economics. The subtle art of political distortion of facts eludes me. I try to think in terms of problems that need to be solved, not political power posturing and theater. I am not enamored by political journalistic soap operatic sensationalism as presented by cable news; CNN, MSNBC, and FOX?s 3B?s (Babbling Blonde Bimbos).

Spay/neuter saves lives of God's creatures
The story about the cats at the Agricultural Museum who were destroyed because they were considered to be too many highlights our state?s tragic overpopulation of pets, and the lack of compassion and accountability with which we as a society treat God?s creatures.

Governor Perdue not Purdue
Perhaps the reason Governor Perdue thinks Mississippi is backward is that the editorial writer at the state's top newspaper can't be bothered to check for the correct spelling of the individual he's writing about. Just saying.

Mormonism Is Contradictory To Christianity!!
Mormons were founded by Joseph Smith not Jesus Christ. Joseph Smith asserted publicly that he discovered gold plates written in Egyptian Hieroglyphics in up State New York.He taught that Jesus came to bring the gospel to the Indians in America.This allowed the doctrine of plurality of wives,which allowed the men to have multiple wives simultaneously.

Forgiveness
Please pray for North Carolina?s Christians, priests, and pastors. In Leviticus 19:18 God instructs us to love our neighbors as ourselves. We are saved if we truly believe Jesus is the son of God. We need not remove our tattoos before entering heaven. We need not pray the gay away. We need not shed our polyester clothes. We?re ALL saved with God?s unconditional love.

Road Conditions
I am a former Mississippian who grew up in Jackson my entire life until my teens. I recently have visited Jackson for a Mother's Day surprise weekend and had the opportunity to travel all over the city, reminiscing with my children over things we remembered and places we used to love. During our trip to Belhaven on Saturday, discussing the book "The Help", it was painfully apparent to me just how awful the roads in Jackson are today.

Texting should be banned
I suppose it's the age group I belong to, but I just don't get it. Why would someone want to text another person rather than call them? My son and one of my daughters are hooked on texting. I'm the safety manager for a large construction company and we have banned the use of cell phones(period)while driving and on our jobsites. Our insurance carrier claims texting while driving is three times more dangerous than driving while intoxicated.

Cyclists Rolling For Safety Not Enough
Yesterdays article (Ride of Silence: Cyclists Roll For Safety) May 17, was a good article to bring attention to motorists that bicycles are traveling the same roads as them, and many are being run over resulting in injury or death. This is not because motorists don't like cyclists or are not courteous, but often they simply can't see them.

'New law' claim is not accurate
A recent letter writer's claim that the U.S. Supreme Court in the Citizens United decision created "new law" regarding how rich individuals can support political candidates is simply wrong, ("Citizens United ruining America," May 8). The ruling affects only corporate donations and does not rule that "corporations are people."

Obama choices hurting country
Mr. President, I can't give you chapter and verse, but I know that during your 2008 campaign, you criticized the notion of reparations for slavery which did not demand free health care and college education for all blacks. Sorry, Mr. President, but "Obamacare" will enhance bureaucracy, not health, and "No-black-left-behind" will federalize dumbed-down standards, not student competence or industry.

DOJ worker reveals bias
Why have Texas, South Carolina, and other states that have passed common-sense voter ID laws run into such dogged opposition from the Justice Department? One huge factor is the radical ideology and bias of the staff who work in the Voting Section of the Civil Rights Division, as revealed in a new report from Christian Adams, a former Voting Section lawyer.

Wrong reasons
Gov. Beverly Perdue is correct in her comparison to the state of Mississippi, but for all the wrong reasons. The comparison is correct because she and our governor have made the same arrogant mistake. In both state the voters have decided a ballot question by c60%: in MS it was ?personhood? in NC is was same sex marriage. In both states the two governors think they know better than 60% of the voters in their respective states.

Our North Carolina Governor
I would like to apologize to all the good citizens of Mississippi for the idiotic remarks made by our Governor Bev Perdue about your state. Just let me say that she is so unpopular here that a second term for her was out of the question and you (and we) will be spared any further embarassment from this empty headed woman.

Gov. Perdue & NC
Many feel Gov. Perdue of NC has denigrated our state by her comment after NC voted against same-sex marriage.I am proud to live in a state where God matters, & His word is still held dear by the majority. Many have posted comments saying the christian church used to condone same-sex marriage. I personally know many of these people & can testify that they will say anything to support their own agenda. As to the remark about Miss.

Enlightenment?
According to the comments I have seen & heard about same sex marriage & abortion, if you support these issues you are "Enlightened". If you oppose them, you are, at best, an uneducated buffoon lacking the vision to get out of the rain. Further, if you are a Bible believing Christian, seeking a higher level of morality than that currently accepted, you are considered to be on a par with cavemen.

Intolerance
Saturday night my husband and I were watching "Guess who's coming for dinner". A wonderful classic with Sydney Poitier and Spencer Tracy. Talking about the upcoming biracial marriage of an affluent white family to a "colored" man. I remeber the sixties maybe all too well. Biracial marriages were not recognized in all states and those who were married had all too many problems with those who were intolerate.

Governor Perdue comments
Recently the people of North Carolina had a vote on an ammendment that passed overwhelmingly in her state. The "nice" Governor decided to act childish and started insulting her people and the people of Mississippi. While we all can agree to disagree on issues, when you hold any kind of leadership position, you must be above the fray.

More States Should Look Like Mississippi
While disparaging the vote banning gay marriage in North Carolina, Gov. Beverly Perdue (D) pejoratively quipped, ?We look like Mississippi!? To the governor, I say, ?You are quite welcome, Governor.

God, Homosexuals and President Obama
God has a standard. Can gay Americans make great soldiers? Of course they can. Do gay Americans make good friends? I am sure they do. Can gay Americans make good parents? Of course they can. Can gay Americans make good teachers, police officers, firemen, football players, doctors, lawyers, construction workers, custodians and chefs? Of course they can. Then why shouldn't same- sex American couples be allowed to marry? Because, God has a standard.

Here We Go Again!!
The no regulation republicans were wrong again,Because J.P.Morgan lost 2000000000 in six weeks. Banks are FDIC insured,but they make all the rules and the can't be trusted with the funds entrusted to their care. These republicans believe the market will solve the problem well if they are true capitalists why are they relying on the Federal Government to insure their deposits? These guys are con artist who exploit the free enterprise system.

Same-sex?
Without the biblical standard I was raised by being used, same-sex marriage is a spit in the eye to biology. Only worms & some other invertebrates can mate without one being male & the other female. Are the same-sex advocates equating themselves with worms? It is true that some animal species demonstrate homosexual traits, but these are often destroyed by the population because they are counter to the well-being & future of the tribe/troop.
