Vox for May 24

Posted: May 23, 2011 - 8:00pm


“Now I know why the Republicans will win in 2012. Barbara Kelly is a Democrat.”

“Barbara Kelly is quick to design the National Relations Labor Board even though it’s costing South Carolina several hundred good-paying jobs. She doesn’t point out that the fifth person on their panel of five is a union man appointed by President Obama. In other words… a tie-breaker. I worked at a major corporation for over 40 years and the company dealt with five different unions. Over the years the company transferred some of its manufacturing down south for economic reasons. It’s hard for me to believe that any executive in Boeing could make a public statement that they are moving because of the unions. I suppose Boeing should just pack up and go to Taiwan.”

“Only people like Barbara Kelly and her lunatic liberal friends would agree that it’s right that Boeing broke some law because they wanted to set up its factory that didn’t have a union. Corporations should be able to set up their business wherever they want to. It’s their business.”

“Barbara Kelly hates to let facts get in the way of a good argument or in her case not-so-good. Boeing was setting up a new production line, not trying to move an existing one. And the point in setting it up here was to be guaranteed production without the threat of strikes as it happened repeatedly in the state of Washington. When people, such as Richard Branson, of Virgin Airlines, order aircraft they need them delivered and Branson himself said he could not do business with Boeing if threats or strikes would delay or halt delivery of his airplanes. She wasted a lot of ink defending the indefensible but she always wastes a lot of ink and more of my time in reading it.”

“Barbara Kelly’s self description of herself, as a newly minted Southern lady, is inaccurate. Simply moving here and being able to say ‘you all’ in newsprint does not make you a southern lady; you are just another northern liberal who has come down here to escape the ravages that the Democrat machine of your state brought upon itself.”

“Barbara Kelly’s article regarding Boeing conveniently left out the fact that the NLRB is supposed to be an independent agency of the government, however, the majority, which was appointed by president Obama, is comprised of Democrats. In fact, the general council was not approved by the Senate but was appointed by Obama by executive order. We might conclude that they will lean left making their decisions. One of the reasons why Boeing decided to build a plant in South Carolina is that they experienced three devastating strikes by billions so why shouldn’t they have the right to build their plant wherever they want to? Especially in a state where South Carolina invites non-union manufacturing plants to revive? The last time I checked this was still a free country and the unions aren’t in charge yet.”


“This is in regard to the person who called George Bush an idiot, a fool and the worst president who has ever held office in the White House. I think you have forgotten that about the buffoon we have in the White House. I really believe he deserve that honor; not George Bush. All you far left liberals continue to do is bash George Bush when it’s the present occupant who is really destroying this country with his socialist policies.”

“For the very intelligent Vox caller who called George Bush a fool and an idiot, I guess I have to respond in vernacular you might understand. Barack Obama is a poopy pants.”

“Our leader, President Obama, told the people to get rid of the gas guzzling SUV’s. So the people listened and got rid of their SUV’s. He then told them to cut back on their driving so the people listened again and cut back on their driving. Then President Obama said, ‘Whoa. Wait a minute. We are not getting all the gas taxes we were before. This must stop.’ And now, they are working on a new law which will tax us on every mile we drive.”


“I’ll never understand why the politicians who claim that they are fiscally responsible will waste millions of dollars trying to be elected. The Democrats vote for Democrats; the Republicans vote for Republicans and blacks and Latinos vote for Obama.”

“Regarding stories that President Obama is trying to give billions to Tunisia and Egypt, my question is this: In our financial state, why are we giving away money period? Unless there’s another reason. They make a broke nation so broke that the U.S.A. is just another broken down Third World nation.”


“My next door neighbor

has not cut his backyard grass this year. The weeds are now about three-and-a-half to four feet high. No exaggeration. They are now coming into my yard. This attracts snakes and rodents, not to mention thousands of bugs of every kind. Are there no laws in Bluffton where this is not permitted? I called the health department and left messages but no one returned my calls. If anyone knows, please respond.”

“In regard to the person looking to sell her gold jewelry, I just recently sold some jewelry at Golis Family Jewelers. They have two sites. I went to the Fording Island Road store which is in the shopping center where Food Lion is. They were very accommodating and very nice and I feel like I got a fair price for my gold jewelry.”

“The brick work on the roundabout S.C. 46 is very nice but in these tough economic times, one cannot help but wonder, was that cost-effective? Putting cement in would have been a lot cheaper.”

“To the person who is looking to sell some scrap jewelry, we checked out Savannah and the Island but decided to go locally and Ligato’s, in the Publix Shopping Center, gave us a good price and we actually had a good time in there. There’s a cool little dog in there, too. I would suggest them.”

“When are the redneck hillbilly residents of Beaufort County going to realize that you have to be a U.S. citizen to vote in a federal election? Illegal aliens are not capable of voting for Obama.”

“I love Funday Monday but there was an item in there about crappy souvenirs from the Prague Zoo which tickled my fancy. My parents formerly lived in Philadelphia and the Philadelphia Zoo began giving away elephant dung and my mom swears it was the most wonderful fertilizer on the planet. The plants grew like wild fire and it kept all the squirrels off their property for almost three years. It was like magic. They would hit the property line and immediately scamper in the opposite direction. There’s something to be said about that elephant dung.”


“Folks, recently Nancy Pelosi exempted several small businesses in her California district from Obama-care. Let’s sum it up. So far we have the president, Congress and Senate, union workers, certain handpicked businesses as shown above, etc., and if you remember we had Harry Reid offering exemptions to entire states for the sake of votes. Why would they offer exemptions with such a wonderful plan? Even you Democrats must know that by the time it kicks in the cost for the rest of us will be exorbitant.”


“One off-sided definition of insanity is repeating the same thing over and over and over and expecting different results. Now that’s a truism that should be inscribed on the walls of Congress.”

“To summarize, waterboarding is not illegal. We use it in training our own U.S. forces. It is however effective.”

“George Wilson, vice chairman, physically stated that he cannot be replaced. A friend of mine told me that everybody is expendable.”



“I just watched ‘60 Minutes’ but we’ve known for years that Sharpton is the biggest crook and the biggest liar that we’ve ever seen in our country. Yet our president stands on the same stage with him? Are we stupid here or what? What’s going on? Has our country forgotten who the crooks are and who the better people are? I guess it’s hard to find out which one is which.”

“I’m reading an article in the other paper about the Lanese case and it says that one of the personnel had broken the county ethics confidentiality codes. The editor’s letter is also breaking county ethics and EMS confidentiality codes and they are setting themselves up for a lawsuit for defamation of character.”

“Beaufort County police and Bluffton police need to get together on bicyclers because taxpayers paid a lot of money for bike paths and they still continue to ride in the streets.”

“They finally caught one of the guys in the baseball beating that took place in which a man still lies in a coma in San Francisco. Stay classy, San Diego. I wonder if any hate crimes will be filed because I believe the victim is pretty white and I believe Mr. Ramirez might be Hispanic. I know it’s California so they probably don’t file hate charges when minorities are the aggressors. It will be interesting to see if they actually do what’s right in this case.”

“To the person who found my Odyssey two-ball putter this Friday at Hidden Cypress, you would want someone to return your lost club. So you can be a good guy and drop it off at Hidden Cypress or Okatie Pro Shop or you can keep it and just be a common thief. Life is full of choices big and small. Do the right thing.”


“Beaufort County school board: I don’t understand why y’all are not furloughing the employees either one or two days next year. If you look online or just check out stats, you will see that almost every school in South Carolina is furloughing their teachers five days. Beaufort County has eight days every year that the teachers are in the building without the students. Furlough two of those days and you would have all the money you need.”


“It’s pretty funny that you have a caller here who was going to vote for Donald Trump. Donald Trump went bankrupt at least three times in his lifetime and you want to put your faith in him taking us out of debt. That’s pretty funny.”

“Some right-to-work state this is. Governor ‘ingrate’ Haley’s former employer did not have the right to fire her for not doing the job for which she was being overpaid. Forcing them to pay her tens of thousands of dollars in severance pay to get rid of her says a lot about Haley’s work ethics and character.”

“Here’s some free advice for the GOP. The next time you decide to take a Democratic president down you should include developing viable candidates in your plans. I know that means thinking further ahead than your nose is but you can do it.”

“This is in response to a letter to the editor by Arthur Broska. As most Republicans, Arthur Broska’s misinformation has him confused. When we got the Reagan’s inauguration in January 1981, Reagan issued an executive order, 12287. This order cut the Department of Energy funding for renewable energy and conservation programs by as much as 90 percent. The then-Reagan era, Department of Energy, deregulated the gasoline market and the Department of Energy dramatically expanded its weapons productions and nuclear weapons testing. That’s why you are still dependent on foreign oil. Mr. Broska fills a small group of people who dictate our lives against our will. He’s right. The Republican Party voted 100 percent to allow the oil companies to keep billions of American tax dollars. Yes, you will vote Republican as you always have because you just don’t understand.”


“This is in response to Bruce Tennant’s letter to the editor on Monday. I just want to say one thing to Bruce. Yes, yes, yes.”


“Somebody should tell these guys at MSNBC they are appearing very fair and balanced this morning. There might be a problem. I think Mika and Joe might get fired.”


“I’d like to suggest to the school board that they cut out the pre-kindergarten and let those kids go to nursery school and that would take care of those kids. Also cut out all the second-language teachers. Let the kids, even though they are illegal, learn English. Sit them in a class and within a week, they will understand. Kids pick up things so fast. We don’t need to pay for extra teachers for them.”

“I’m reading the school news in Monday’s paper and I noticed that M.C. Riley Elementary has field days with events lasting more than two hours for students while at Bluffton Elementary allotted one hour for field day. Is this just another example of Bluffton Elementary putting forth very little effort or are they afraid that school might be too exciting for one day?”

“Does anyone else feel that school spirit and moral at Bluffton Elementary is lacking? Why does the school not allow school spirit week like the majority of other area elementary schools. The school is certainly missing a warm atmosphere. As a parent I don’t feel welcomed or valued so I can only imagine how my child must feel. I have friends whose children go to other area elementary schools and they’ve had spirit week, field trips, dances, etc. Every one of those things is more than I can say my child has done. Unfortunately all Beaufort County elementary schools are not created equal.”
