The Rant

The Rant is The News-Sentinel's anonymous sound-off forum. The readers' views expressed here do not necessarily reflect the views or opinions of The News-Sentinel.

When a government uses military personnel, equipment and tactics against its own citizens, it's time to call it a civil war rather than a drug war.

Medicaid, food stamps, Social Security, federal education housing, Pell grants, Medicare. … Scrap it all. Let this country thrive on individual freedom. If you can't make it and need help, file for local welfare.

“Selling New York” on HGTV: $20 million condo! $1.2 million commission! Makes me so sad and angry. Millions of people in this country are homeless. And children go to bed hungry! This shouldn't be in our country! Talk About inequality!

FWCS (Fort Wayne Community Schools) and (Superintendent) Wendy (Robinson) now claim property values will be strong with improved schools. Did she forget she closed Elmhurst (High School), and my property and many others on the west side of town have declined … .

It was unbelievable to hear the comment made toward me by a Fort Wayne police officer who was directing traffic at a recent TinCaps game. In dropping off my 94-year-old father at the curb, I was told vehemently by this officer that I could not stop the car for that purpose. When I informed him of my father's age, the officer yelled back that was not his fault.

Polls suck. All they do is steer elections. They should be outlawed, along with lobbyists.

So the leftist lackey ranter likes to vote in the other primary to try to help tear down our great country. … Priceless.
