Have The Democrats Been Neutered?

December 19th, 2010 · Comments Off

WONDERFUL news via MyWay.com: The population continues to shift from Democratic-leaning Rust Belt states to Republican-leaning Sun Belt states, a trend the Census Bureau will detail in its once-a-decade report to the president. Political clout shifts, too, because the nation must reapportion the 435 House districts to make them roughly equal in population, based on [...]

Back in 1938 …

A Happy Ending

November 4th, 2010 · 2 Comments

Years ago I found the blog “mAss Backwards“. mAss Backwards was run by a freedom-lover called Bruce, and it was a daily stop in my reading journeys. The title of the blog was a play on the concept of his home state of Massachusetts being completely backwards in regard to freedom. Like me, Bruce “started [...]

I Should Be Happy

November 3rd, 2010 · Comments Off

Georgia Governor

August 12th, 2010 · 4 Comments

The Primaries are finally settled, so it’s Roy Barnes versus Nathan Deal this November for Governor of Georgia. I’m not a big fan of Deal, but I have absolutely no love for Barnes. So to keep Barnes out of office I have to vote for Deal. Lesser of two evils. Hopefully Deal will show me [...]

On Georgia’s Primary Election

July 21st, 2010 · Comments Off

Roy Barnes is an Obama wannabe. He is beholden to the teacher’s unions and the “disenfranchised minorities” inside Georgia‘s urban areas (his “big ticket” legacy was getting rid of Georgia’s former “evil” state flag). He is Georgia’s version of Bill Clinton. I’m scared Barnes will side with the Washington Progressives over Georgia. A vote for [...]

May 19th, 2010 · Comments Off
