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...

Whitewater Groups Sue to Stop Fish Stocking in Chattooga River
The Whitewater Group’s politically correct term for boating use is “nature based paddling opportunity,” which somehow or another, in  their mind, places them in a morally superior category to fishermen angling for “exotic” fish.  As far as I’m aware, the upper Chattooga is the only section of stream in either National Forest on which “nature based paddling opportunity” is restricted...

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...

It's Human Nature

Manhattan Declaration for Thanksgiving
You may have missed this extraordinary ‘declaration’ if your sole source of information and news is the ever effluent mainstream media. On November 20, a group of 152 diverse Christian leaders released “Manhattan Declaration: A Call of Christian Conscience.”  Without politically popular apologies, the group declared three “inviolable and non-negotiable” truths: 1. the sanctity of human life; 2. the dignity of marriage as the conjugal union of husband and wife; and, 3. the rights of conscience and religious liberty...

Obama Blunders with 9/11 Terrorist Trials
Defendants in civilian trials are entitled to all of the evidence, which means the terrorists will get to see how American intelligence officials have been able to piece together information on al Qaida.  It does not make any sense to allow terrorists to find out our means of tracking them down...

Major Newspapers Blast Catholicism, Says Catholic League President
On Sunday, New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd recalled that when she was in grade school, "Nuns were second-class citizens then and 40 years after feminism utterly changed America, they still are." She called Pope Benedict XVI the "uber-conservative pope," a.k.a. "God's Rottweiler," who was once "a conscripted member of the Hitler Youth"...
