Sheriff: Mac Holcomb of Marshall County Alabama a real American
A glance at his website shows all of the minority deputies had the day off on picture day.

I am proud to be an American and that I was fortunate enough to be born in Alabama. The state that has its motto "We dare defend our rights". I was raised in era, the 1940's as a child and the 1950's as a teenager, which I remember with great affection.

During this era, love of God, family, and country abounded. Men were men and women were women and there was no mistaking which was which. Both were proud of their individual roles. Homosexuality was very queer and a despicable act… an abomination.

During this era, those parents that owned televisions didn't have to worry that their children might be subjected to filth on television such as nudity, the use of God's name in vain, and other profanity because it was unheard of. Parents could allow their children to go to a movie without having to screen it first because the good guy always wore the white hats. There was no question who the "Good Guy" was. Even the "Bad Guy" in the movie didn't use foul language. During this era our nation had a conscience including the television and movie industry.

Children's school days started with the recitation of the "Lord's Prayer" and the "Pledge of Allegiance" to the flag of the United States of America.

It was a shame to break the law. Convicts worked our roadways in unmistakable clothing (black and white prisoner uniforms that clearly identified them as convicts). Their rights were to be sentenced to jail at hard labor as retribution to the victims and their crimes.

The "Ten Commandments" were proudly displayed as a reminder that the real Commander in Chief and Final Judge is God and that this nation was founded on Judeo/Christian principal. Neighbors helped each other instead of jumping at the chance to file a lawsuit.

A man's word was his bond. My word and bond to you, the citizens of Marshall County, is to do my very best to devote all my energy to do my part to return our society to the values that we once held dear.

Please join me. I need your help. Our children deserve no less.



Mac Holcomb
Sheriff
Marshall County Alabama

4. "Why back in those days, we could lynch a black man for fun!
Edited on Wed Jan-12-05 09:21 PM by Downtown Hound
And we did all the time! Oh Lordy those were the days! And back in those days, you could beat your wife for not doin' the dishes. And we did all the time! Oh Lordy those were some times. And back in those days, why, we were so damn paranoid about commies everywhere that we didn't trust anybody! Oh those were some fine times. Some fine times indeed."

And they like to call us revisionist historians.

5. Holcomb also getting his just deserts over in LBN
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=102&topic_id=1145647&mesg_id=1145647

Just for grins, fire up your trusty search engine and enter "sheriff holcomb marshall county". On just the first page, you'll see some Ten Commandments yuck worthy of Roy Moore himself, some War on Some Drugs, and the kicker -- a sexual harassment suit filed by female former inmates at the county jail!
