Dogs Bite
Dear Editor,
I understand Sheriff Rogers wants a lot of pictures taken at election time … but, as I continue to see the public display of irresponsible and incompetent behavior by the current sheriff, I am at a loss for words. First, Sheriff Danny Rogers is not a certified or trained law enforcement K9 handler. The picture posted on the Guilford County sheriff’s office Facebook site is displaying a dangerous and high liability situation that could have easily evolved.
Second, this is the elected sheriff of Guilford County holding a type of K9 capable of a serious bite, whether trained, or not, in close proximity to a citizen attached to a lead several feet away from Sheriff Danny Rogers and he is not in a position to respond if an event evolved to the need of immediate control of the K9.
Responsible leadership and the capability to lead the sheriff’s office professionally is at stake and on the ballot starting at “early voting” Oct. 20 and Election Day Nov. 8.
We have to get this right.

Our Country On The Line
Dear Editor
With the help of two RINOs, Joe and his happy band of (National Socialist) Democrats and their ilk managed to pass the “Assault Weapons Ban.” Those scary black guns that look like Army guns!
In all seriousness, it shows how they secretly know they are about to get handed their butts in the upcoming elections. What needs to happen now is the two RINOs need to be confronted, on camera, not by the usual mouthpieces, but by regular voting citizens who will not let them weasel out. They are still whining about the overturning of Roe v. Wade and how they want to show us how they are in charge and will try to pass laws to make it legal again.
As I said earlier, they are trying to get as much power under their control as possible as quickly as they can. They know they’re going to be wandering the wilderness for a while after the election. Another thing they are trying to alter is how Supreme Court justices are treated. Their ultimate goal, if you look at their plan, is to arrange the replacement of justices in such a way that they will eventually have a majority at any time that will go their way.
Our country, our system of government, our way of life is on the line here. They will keep working it until they have things their way and from a legal standpoint will be in charge. Unfortunately, if and when that happens there will only be one way to set things back to the way they are supposed to be. We are already seeing a micro-version of how it will be with the City Council of Greensboro and to some extent the Guilford County Board of Commissioners.
If you are one of those that blindly vote party lines, you are dangerous, very dangerous. Research those running, ask hard questions and don’t let up. Biden was elected because it was “his turn to be president.” We are living with the results, and will be for a while. Don’t get that “Trump ain’t running so I ain’t voting” attitude. Unless the Republican is a child molesting, hard drinking idiot, give them a chance. We can’t do any worse than what’s there now.
The chances of the gun grab succeeding are slim, but then everybody said the same thing about Biden and look.
Come and take them.
Alan Marshall
Rogers….a sheriff….no, just got the job like the latest Supreme Court Justice…fits the profile the Greensboro left wants.
Alarmist provocateur Alan Marshall strikes again! For clarity, since we all know modern republican’s live in a world of alternative facts, H.R.1808 – Assault Weapons Ban of 2022 passed the House and has been referred to committee in the senate where the bill is expected to die as it always does. Every year. An no, the bill does ‘take your guns’. It just extends the limit of what can be marketed without highly specialized paperwork and justification. (no it won’t end mass shootings either)
This type of alarmist rhetoric continually promoted by Alan such as “Our country, our system of government, our way of life is on the line here” is what is hurting our country.
Sure, argue the need for semi-auto high caliber weapons…but to claim a Bill passing the House is going to end our way of life? Give me a break. There was just this very ban a decade or so ago the Clinton got passed. Our way of life didn’t change. Not one bit. A bunch of people where unhappy, but claiming the ‘other party’ is the enemy and is trying to end our way of life is just hateful ignorant speech. Just look at the the many manifestos of recent mass killers. Most were sheep of the alt right movement worried that replacement theory was real etc….
Discuss issues. Present your version of events. Make your argument with verifiable facts. Heck, even make fun of each other within reason (nutters). Just drop the divisive hyperbolic rhetoric about the end of Life, Liberty and Happiness. Both parties want the same thing. They just disagree on how to get their and how to prioritize issues we face (and have faced for decades) such as climate change, gun violence, etc…
Don’t just be a parrot of the sheep like Alan. It is sad and embarrassing to the people in his community he claims to represent in Pleasant Garden.
Both parties do not want the same thing! The Republicans want to preserve the constitution and what it stands for. The Democrats want to make this a Socialist country where all the power is taken from the people and given to the government. They also want a redistribution of wealth by taking from the people who have earned the money and giving to the ones who have lived off the government their entire lives. These are drastically different points of view. I pray each day that the swamp in Washington is drained and that the Republicans rein in this group of power hungry idiots.
Democrats support free and fair elections. Republicans storm the Capitol because their dear leader lost a free and fair election. This that what you mean by Republican’s supporting Democracy?
You are just another sheep who has bought into the divisive rhetoric of the Right Wing leadership and profiteering TV talking heads. Democrats believe in democracy. They believe in Freedom. They believe in individual rights. Most Republicans do too. Each party has their extremists.
Democrats do think that more centralized entitlements are in order for where private markets have failed to service all American equally. Healthcare for one. They also believe that unregulated capitalism leads to loss of individual freedoms of workers and reduction in workers rights.
I sit in the middle myself.
I think we need improved healthcare that isn’t only linked to employment. I don’t trust big business….just think back to Big Tobacco telling America that cigarettes’ weren’t addictive. Or think about big oil today funding the anti-climate change movement or the plastic industry lying about how recyclable plastics are….
Those of policy discussions. Nothing more. Don’t be a sheep. Believe in the goodness of all men and women in general….even those that have very different opinions about how to move our country forward. THEY are NOT the enemy. The TV Talking Heads and Politicians who but party before people are the enemy. Vote em out and Turn em off.
Not complicated or evil.
Danny Rogers rained down purely due to one-shot voting. Now that’s criminal!
term limits would be really nice. Great aspirational goal, but will never happen in the DC swamp.
Again Chris twists my words about in an attempt to counter my point rather than do his own research.
I pointed out how the Senate still has to pass it and the chances are very slim they will, but keep in mind stranger things have happened. And as for not taking guns, but restricting what a citizen can buy according to their standards. BTW, define “high caliber”
“Our country, our system of government, our way of life is on the line here” is true. We’re always one step away from losing our rights and anyone who thinks otherwise has their head in the sand (or somewhere else).
I noticed you mentioned climate change and gun control specifically before your “etc.”. Subconsciously stating your position are you?
Pleae try stating all the facts instead of cherry picking and/or plain making it up.
And BTW, if I’m sad and embarrassing to the people of PG, maybe you can explain why I’m on my 3rd term.
You are on 3rd Term because few people are really concerned with PG politics….very basic at best given it is only a town of 5k people and the job has very limited over much in way of spending. The day your position holds any real influence, you would be laughed out. For now you can just recommend what day to hold the Christmas parade and who to have as speaker at the Veterans Day lunch. BJ Barnes has been a great speaker in the past at that event.
There I did half your job. Maybe now you will have more time to put real thought into an opinion versus your normal rambling rants and alarmist rhetoric.
Chris, you’re one to talk about someone beating the same ol crap on the drum! And once again you have proven you know little but yap a lot. I need some clarity from you and since you THINK you know everything I’m sure you can do this (LOL). What is considered “high caliber”? What proof or evidence do you or ANY scientist have that “climate change” is caused by the activity of people? And this one is really gonna be a tough one. How can you or any left wing NUTTER consider the election of 2020 normal, free , or fair? Keep in mind that even in this state election laws were VIOLATED! Don’t hand me the usual ‘widespread” word play B.S. either! Most AMERICANS not democrats because democrats aren’t AMERICANS, know it wasn’t widespread. It was very concentrated and well planned after the “SURPRISE” that shocked the scam party in 2016. The most votes ever for a DOLT like DOPEY JOE and KARMAla? WOW! One can’t put together a coherent paragraph and the other couldn’t even get the nomination for president from her home state of Commiefonia! You bet those two could garner MORE VOTES THAN THE KENYAN DREAM! You bet! And I’m sure you’re writing your letter to Santa right now… good boy!
P.S.
please learn how to spell. And think!
That assault weapons ban passed in the House is doomed in the Senate. So no worries. But the news about it has got me wondering about the whole matter …
Shouldn’t us plain folks of hunters and sportsmen and home defenders and militia members and Oath Keepers and angry poorly parented teenagers have quick and easy access to bazookas? I mean given anybody can get an AR15, bullet proof vest, high capacity magazine, tactical gear, etc. and more people are doing it everyday … don’t we need something more to protect ourselves and families and way of life?
Wouldn’t the founders agree? What part of the 2nd amendment and “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed” says no bazookas? Isn’t it the case that bazookas don’t kill people, only people kill people? And isn’t the only way to stop a bad guy with a bazooka is a good guy with a bazooka? I bet there are more good reasons and some of you guys can come up with them.
