Consequences Have Benefits
Are the “new taxes, fees, and penalties” intended or unintended consequences? Ask the Democrats. They’re the ones who passed the bill, and they’re the ones looking forward to “the fog of the controversy” clearing...

History, Too?
With today’s information overload, most Americans glean little bits of current events from favored sources. Each of us tends to read, listen, or view what we already agree with. “Just teaching what happened,” or reporting what happened for that matter, is complicated at best...

An Opinion on Energy and Water in Georgia
It is my contention that we should embark upon two fronts with the construction of  very large nuclear power plants on the coast which will double as desalination plants.  The technology is safe and it is already there.  I know whereof I speak as I have worked directly with both the Saudi government in their desalination plants which provide significant water...

Letter to Editor: Atlanta Motorsports Park Promotion
The Park offered any person ticketed under the new "Super Speeder" law a free half day of access to the Park - if and when it is built. All they have to do is bring in their speeding ticket. While the developers may defend their promotion as a way to provide a safe environment for people who cannot control themselves on our public roadways, the reality is that it rewards criminal behavior...

Double Standards?
Some hold their noses up as they profess to be race-blind, gender-blind, or fill-in-the-blank-blind. I used to think those were noble values. Now I realize those are hypocritical, self-serving, arrogant, and self-deceiving lies of extreme elitists and wannabees...

Washington's Snow Job
Historically, federal fiscal policies like President Obama’s have led to double-digit inflation. For those who didn’t cope with inflation during President Carter’s administration, that means you’ll see all prices (gas, groceries, Wal-Mart stuff) going up EVERY WEEK, while your paycheck remains the same...

Justice for All?
President Obama and AG Holder both tout the message we are sending to the world about our civilized justice system. Really? Are not the people evil who planned and carried out those attacks as well as the continual stream of daily atrocities on innocents?...

A Veterans Day Tribute and Remembrance
Let us remember “1861” when our nation became two nations. The South under President Jefferson Davis and the North under President Abraham Lincoln, fought for four long, bloody years to decide our future. Both armies prayed to the same God for guidance...

Expectations: Past, Present and Future
According to “an unprecedented nationwide survey of more than 6,400 adult Americans conducted from December 2008 through April 2009,” directed by Frank Luntz, author of “What Americans Really Want…Really,” “only 34 percent of Americans think their children will inherit a better America than their parents did, and…only 44 percent think their children will enjoy a better quality of life”...

Politics and the People
Last week a friend asked me to write about the H1N1 epidemic. He was concerned because he had gone to get a flu vaccination, and they told him they could only give him the seasonal vaccine, not the H1N1 vaccine because he was over 65. He told me he thought Washington was trying to get rid of all the old people (my words, not his)...

Marriage -- Under Attack Again
I am asking Georgians of all races to come together on the issue of traditional marriage and do all we can to protect this sacred institution.  The bottom line of all of this is that the devaluing of marriage has enormous consequences.  One only needs to look at the research and statistics from the Netherlands to see how the devaluation of marriage has caused more and more people not to marry...

Texting While Driving is a Death Sentence
Like reading a book, texting is designed to take and keep a driver's eyes off the road.  Add to that the pervasive texting by our younger and future drivers and it's easy to foresee how this popular trend could become our next deadly highway trend...

President Carter’s Race Card Play is Red Herring, Say Leaders of Black Pro-life Movement
“Congressman Joe Wilson was disrespectful and he committed a breach of ethics by yelling out during President Obama’s speech. He apologized. The race card rebuttal is a smoke screen to deflect our attention from the issues at hand. We all know how to push the emotional hot buttons, and we know where many of the bodies are buried, including over 50 million aborted babies, one third of whom are Black"...

Mainstream Media and Washinton Elite Coalition Disconnected from Grassroots Americans
News sources estimate between 75,000 – 2,000,000 protesters traveled to Washington from every state in the Union to protest. MSM covered President Obama reiterating his Wednesday night speech before several thousand Minnesotans. MSM did not mention simultaneous protests in cities across America attended by a hundred thousand more...
