The Sound of the Beep

This is Honey Boo-Boo. I think we need to re-edumacate the drivers down here in the South. The little handle along the left side of the steering wheel, that's called the turn signal. It let you know if you're going to make a left or a right. So, use it. Honey Boo-Boo says, use it. Have a great day.

Hey, Rhino Times. Someone needs to tell John Hammer that somebody needs to go talk some sense into that Mitt Romney's foolish head talking about the 47 percent don't pay any taxes. Is he crazy? My neighbor said, just let him keep on talking, and he's going to talk his way right out of this election. I see the president, President Barack Hussein Obama, with another landslide if Romney keeps running off of his mouth talking about the 47 percent don't pay taxes, which he's talking about the lower class, people who make under $50,000, $250,000 a year. He claims those are the ones that don't pay no taxes. And I know he's crazy …

You're talking about creating class warfare. How dare anybody accuse the president, Barack Obama, for starting class warfare? With the comment that Mitt Romney made this week about the 47 percent of people, which is half of the country, the majority of the country, don't pay taxes. So, in Mitt Romney's mind, those who are on welfare, who are poor, who are on Social Security, don't pay taxes. Is he crazy? I'm drawing unemployment. I'm still paying taxes for my unemployment check. So, what is he talking about? And the poor in this country has always paid more taxes than the rich. That's why the Republicans are always talking about taxes, because they don't want to pay no taxes.

Editor's Note: You may not like it, but only 53 percent pay federal income tax, which means 47 percent don't pay federal income tax, although they most likely do pay other taxes. People who made over $32,000 a year pay 97.75 percent of federa income tax. Those under $32,000 pay 2.25 percent.

Yes, I was calling because the four black Guilford County school board members are correct about the banking being racist in that four black board members that want to just put our money in a bank just because it's black-owned is racist. So, example of the pot calling the kettle black. Thank you.

I don't claim to be the brightest bulb on the tree. But if all this violence is coming from something on YouTube, what is those people overseas going to do when Obama's film comes out about how he went about killing Bin Laden? Now, he's the one that instigated it. He's the one, I understand, told the movie makers and give them information, and they're supposed to be making a movie. They better take the script that they got and burn it and forget about that and try to figure out how they're going to get people back to work in this country and how we're going to get some oil from here instead of trying to get it from over there. We got oil. If he would work on something like that and get off of this other stuff and the health care we'd all be better off.

Hi. Can you tell me why this guy always calls in and complain about Obama? He says Obama this, Obama that. Why don't he just take blame instead and said he just don't like Obama? Obama is his main problem. Obama is not a responsible for every little thing that goes on. If his water pipe busts outside his house, he thinks Obama did that. He is just one person that no matter what the situation is, he's another Mitch McConnell. When Bush was doing everything, you never heard him writing about that. But that's the way he's going to be. Thanks.

Whoa, Rhino Times Sound of the Beep. Hey, let me ask you a question. Maybe somebody can answer this. Why did these folks down South persist on blowing their grass into the streets or on the highways as you're driving down the road? People have their window up. A rock could be thrown up and hit somebody in the face or the eye causing severe bodily injury. But do they care? No. So, what I'm asking is, what's up with these people that they continue to do this? Are they too lazy to blow it back onto their lawns and let it decompose? Somebody is going to get hurt and sue them, and I mean sue the beans out of them so they understand. Then they will stop. It's like anything else. Maybe you can answer that question for me. Thank you. Have a great day.

Just the Obama support of the Planned Parenthood organization founded by Margaret Sanger is amazing, and so are people that follow that support. Because the actual fact is that she wrote this: Our failure to segregate morons who are increasing and multiplying demonstrates our fool hearted and extravagant sentimentalism. [Philanthropists] encourage the healthier and more normal sections of the world to shoulder the burden of unthinking and indiscriminate fecundity of others, which brings with it, as I think the reader must agree, a dead weight of human waste. Instead of decreasing in aiming to eliminating the stocks that are most detrimental to the future of the race and the world, it tends to render them to a menacing degree dominant. We are paying for, and even submitting to, the dictates to an ever-increasing, unceasingly spawning class of human beings who never should have been born at all."

Hello, Rhinos. Mr. Hammer, your first paragraph on page 2 of the Sep. 13 issue of The Rhino hits the nail on the head. Our failure to participate in our city, county, state and federal governments is the number one reason why our society is on the verge collapse. But the main reason for this call is about the school board and the bank. I wonder who are the stockholders of this bank. Is it Skip Alston, or Earl Jones, or any of their friends? This might shed some light on this subject of why the school board wants to now start putting money into this particular bank, which doesn't meet any of the criteria set forth in the state. Just curious. If y'all could look that up, it would be real interesting.

A few words of wisdom for all you Rhino-loving Republicans who claim to be students of the Holy Writ yet have been judging the Greensboro News & Record so harshly. Just because you say you've been in touch with the Lord does not make you perfect. You really need to get in touch with someone locally first, preferably somebody professional. Thank you.

Well, you gave me another laugh on this media bias thing. You said a column, quote, by definition, end quote, includes the writer's bias. This note was a defense of your bias. But if it is OK, how can you criticize someone else's? And you say you run corrections. I disagree. I said previously I have called in numerous mistakes made in your paper, but you did not print the calls or otherwise make the corrections. I will continue in my second call.

% % %

This continues my previous call. You throw around terms like, quote, everybody knows, end quote, and, quote, most people, end quote, so and so. Are these just phrases you pull out of the air to try to make us believe what you do? Or do you have statistics or polls to back of the use of these superlatives? If you do not print these calls, we can assume they are of good taste or of good sense, so you edited them out.

On a daily basis I hear, and I see, Paul Ryan say the most incredibly awful thing. I'm not sure what is wrong with this man, but I certainly don't want him to be our vice president. I think that he's trying real hard to be the next Dan Quayle. Well, not quite. Dan Quayle with a mean streak. % % %

I was just watching a Pat McCrory commercial. If he gets elected, he's going to allow drilling for oil off the coast of North Carolina. You know, we Americans use 75 percent of the world's resources. And it's no wonder we're so unpopular with other countries, and they think we're greedy. And look at what happened off the coast of Florida, and New Orleans, and Alabama when BP had a problem. Let's not drill off our coast. We don't need oil that badly. We do have alternative energy sources that we can tap into, windmills, sun power. Let's use some common sense and quit raping the earth.

As someone born and raised in North Carolina, I'm really against drilling off the coast. I think it's – off the coast of North Carolina. I think it's totally unnecessary. I think it's irresponsible, and it's my belief that just as the BP whoops happened and damaged all those states, including Florida, this is not the path to take. Continue to plunder the earth for resources and use more than our share, is very unwise, extremely unwise. It's going to – it will – it will come back on us and not in a good way. We don't need it that badly, and we don't need anybody in office who wants to do something like that in my opinion.

This is for my Democrat friends that are so blind they cannot see. If they could see well enough to read this, they should now. Voting in Barack Obama is not going to pay your health care. The government is broke. They have no money. With Romney, maybe they can cut back on things to where we can survive for a few more years. And the next thing, if Obama had your interest at heart, when he got sworn in, had a Democrat Congress and Senate, he would have concentrated on jobs and energy. That's what this country needs. And he knew it. But he wanted to take over. His idea is to take over. His idea now is to be voted back in again. That's all he has to do. He could have approved the pipeline. He could start drilling. There's a lot of things he could do to give you jobs. He's not interested in yours. He don't have any idea of what you need. All he's interested in is what he can get for himself.

I'm just reading the Beep in the Thursday, Sept. 13, edition. Nice to see all the Democrats calling in about their views. I'd just like to say I'm a life-long Republican. I always vote Republican every time. And I really think that both parties are lacking in their integrity and wanting to do anything good for the country. I think we really need to get rid of all of them and start over. But I usually – if I don't vote straight Republican, I vote for which one I think will do the least damage. And that's what I'm doing this year. And it's not going to be for a Democrat. Thank you, bye.

Well, I see in the news and fish wrap this morning that we have panhandlers for Miracle House of Hope, a Charlotte-based nonprofit up here begging, along with all of the other beggars that we have in Greensboro. I think it's a shame that we're calling the beggars to be so far away from ATMs, so far away. Why not just ban the beggars altogether? They're unsightly. Most of them are doing nothing but dropping cigarette butts all over everything. Beer bottles, wine bottles, and the paper wrappers from hamburger joints. It should be done away with completely. It's unsightly to the City of Greensboro.

Dear Republicans. The immature, uninformed, unprofessional actions and behavior of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan over the past two weeks have made it crystal clear that the presidential race is over. To save yourselves and the country further embarrassment and ridicule on a world-wide basis, please tuck your tails between your legs, go home, and fully accept that your intelligence, ethics, morals, and values are un-American, anti-capitalism, anti-Christian, and anti-democracy. If the presidential race was a boxing match, it would be stopped and declared a TKO for Obama. If it was a little league game, it would be stopped on the mercy rule. Please understand that you are not bad people. You are simply very, very sick people who don't know that you have a serious disease. The good news is that there is help for you. It starts with honesty, open-mindedness and a willingness to accept years of remedial education and a complete deconstruction of your ethics, morals, and values so that they may be transformed into good, old-fashioned….

I'm calling for all the people who like myself were upset by the recent letters in the other paper regarding the tax value. I called because I didn't think it was right for my house to have a $175 a square foot on the value. When I talked to the person, turned out my value was like only $70 a square foot. What you do is you take your tax value and divided by the square footage of your house and that gives you the amount that's used. % % %

Yes, with all this controversy around all the fake classes at UNC-Chapel Hill for the athletes and other students, I'm really starting to get concerned about the doctors that graduated from Chapel Hill, and the lawyers that graduated from Chapel Hill. Did they really pass all their classes? Are they really competent to serve in the medical community and serve in the legal community? There is lots of doubts in my mind about any graduate from UNC-Chapel Hill.

The proposal to name the new southeast elementary school after Robert W. Utley is an outstanding proposal. Mr. Utley was principal of Nathaniel Greene School for like 22 years. And, then, he was assistant superintendent in charge of facilities and grounds for another 20 years. He's the only one of the names mentioned that got up every day and worried about children getting a education and being in a safe, good environment. He would be great ...

Yes, Penn State has to pay a $60 million fine for the Sandusky scandal there. And UNC-Chapel Hill has 56 illegal classes, no teachers, giving out free A's to students, and nothing happens. Are you kidding me? There seems to be some injustice in the world.

Yes, just a quick message for those fools that seem to think that by putting your money into these foreign bank you don't have to pay income taxes on it. What an idiotic idea. Income taxes is paid on income, not bank accounts. It doesn't matter whether you put your money in a foreign bank, a domestic bank, or a hole-in-the-ground, if it's income, you're taxed on it. And the IRS will see to it that you pay it. And you will pay those taxes before you get the money put it in a bank. % % %

It's 6:10, Sept. 20, and I'm watching Fox 8, WGHP, which is heavily publicizing a poll by High Point University that demonstrates Obama leading Romney 46 percent to 43 percent in North Carolina. What a crock. So, it's only one local polling institute, which is even left-wing, and that is Elon University, which inevitably skews it way to the left by about 10 points. If you want to bank it, there is no way that Obama will win North Carolina. Romney at least has North Carolina tied up. Even as incompetent as he is. Just sign me off As Independent Thinker. And by the way, it's strange that our local Fox affiliate is so liberal whereas the national station is so conservative. But at least it's not as left …

Hey, I'd just like to say that those that continue to support Obama must be nuts. I mean it's obvious he ain't done really anything for this country, and people's calling for the same baloney he promised four years ago. I just wanted just saying think about it seriously when you vote.

Well, they throw it on Obama because all he's going to do is have an outbreak. He's going to tear the United States slap up. In four years he'll have the United States bowing down. And the civil war will break out. That's all I have to say about it. And you people know, you Americans, you know what's happening. So, get on your high horse and think about it. All right. Bye.
