To the venter wondering why Bayer was allowed to store MIC in a populated area: This is a chemical valley and has been for over 50 years. They chose to live here. They need to get their facts straight. Bayer is a good neighbor and has no intentions for everyone to die.

Why aren't people complaining about Obama raising the price of gasoline? He is just as responsible as George Bush ever was. There were plenty of complaints back then.

I understand that the people in countries that have socialized medicine don't have access to their doctors. Is that what the people here want? I sure don't.

God bless Miss California. She declared she was a Christian and the way she believed. Jesus said if we acknowledge him before man, he will acknowledge us. This young girl is to be praised.

I agree with the venter who said our morality isn't evolving, it's dissolving.

This country is walking away from its Christian beginnings.

What idiot decided to remove the pavement from I-64 between the Scott Depot and Teays Valley exit and leave it that way for three weeks? I guess they don't care that they are tearing up our vehicles.

FOX News watchers do not get fair and balanced reporting.

Finances have closed down the chemical valley. They are sending the business overseas because it is cheaper. They are doing it to meet the bottom line.

Concerning the flyer that Mayor Bill Pauley put out: The only paving that has been done to this town in 15 years is the recreation building for bingo. That is because they had to replace the water line.

A country cannot stand up to greed and hate. It is going to fall apart some day.

Our country is overpopulated today. We are going to run out of food and water. It is too crowded.

The Bible plainly tells us that we will seek for peace but can't find it.

Get out your checkbooks. Bishop T.D. Jakes is coming to town preaching the health and wealth gospel. He lives in a $2 million home. He once declared on TV, "We need to start raising people from the dead."

I wish people would learn that the third lane on the interstate is for passing and not for cruising.

I believe what is truly wrong with this country is that the voters are treating politics like a high school football rivalry. Stop pointing fingers and taking sides; start doing your part in fixing this mess together.

How long is the school administration going to put up with the head baseball coach at South Charleston? After the GW and South Charleston game, the quote in the paper said the team gave up. The team didn't give up; he beat them down.

If the people in this country would do their part for each other and themselves and stop wasting time blaming the Democrats and Republicans for the mess we are in, the politicians wouldn't have much choice but to do what we the people say needs to be done.

It was sad to read about the teenager who was shot and lost her unborn child. But it was sadder still to see a 17-year-old and a second child on the way. I hope she has good insurance and the state of West Virginia is not picking up the tab.

Cheney, Bush and Rice should not be prosecuted for torturing prisoners at Guantanamo Bay. If I were president, all of the terrorists would be shot.

I just watched Obama on television talking about the health-care change. During his campaign he said every person in this country should have the same insurance as the Senate and Congress. He is a habitual liar and the truth isn't in him about anything.

Why can't a person say what they want to say without being interrupted?

West Virginia has the lowest number of college graduates, it is one of the poorest states and has voted for Democrats to run the state for more than 70 years. Interesting.

They can find money for the drug court, but they can't pay the public defenders. What is the deal?

How long has the government been bailing out the U.S. Postal Service and Amtrak, to name a few government "good ole boy" girls and boys clubs? We need manufacturing jobs, not government-service jobs that constantly need to be subsidized. These jobs pay more than the "big three" in Detroit. The postal service needs to quit raising postage rates and cut delivery days.

It has been said that Washington will retreat to West Virginia if there is an attack. Maybe the coal is being reserved for energy in that event.
