We do not start publicly decrying those Republicans who are Republicans In November Only just to court the conservative base and then abandon us once elected. We do not stop accepting ‘the lesser of evils’. Some pain is going to be necessary to over come this death spiral of accepting moderates and those Really Interested in Nothing Overt when it comes to principals.
Congressional Hypocrisy Congressional democrats blaming Bush for the decision to go to war when they voted for it Congressional republicans touting their conservative roots and voting for the Bail Out Bill (HR1424) Congressional democrats blaming Wallstreet for the mortgage meltdown while knowing Congressional Republicans warned eeryont it was coming. Congress (all of them) for upbraiding the CEO’s of the automakers for flying in on their | Read More »
Superior court judge Michael C. Clark correctly enforced state law today by blocking the implementation of the Georgia counties plan to hand over county responsibility for garbage collection to a private firm, Gwinnett Clean and Beautiful. The short text of the article can be read here. Erick put out the call for Georgians on this one and to all who made an effort to | Read More »
For at least the last eight years, and highlighted during this past election cycle, members of the Republican party have shown no pageant for a fight. No backbone to defend themselves when they have hard public opinion, the constitution, or even hard evidence on their side. A common theme in many of the diaries on RS both before the election and since lament the | Read More »
Liberal activists need a cause. They cannot be content with achieving their stated goals. Consequently, their stated goals are, usually unachievable so as to ensure the longevity of the cause. Conservative activists do not need a cause. They rally around an injustice they see and work to correct it. Once the correction is made they return focus to their lives (read jobs).
Recently on December 6th, Newsweek published a story by Lisa Miller entitled ‘Our Mutual Joy’. In this article Ms. Miller (I’m sure she’s a Ms.) trots out a number of quotes from people who say the bible really supports gay marriage despite many passages to the contrary. We just have to read between the lines and understand what the writers ‘really’ meant to say. This | Read More »
On October 21st, 2008 The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners voted to adopt an amendment to the county garbage disposal ordinance. The amendment is entitled Amendment to Gwinnett County Solid Waste Collection and Disposal Service Ordinance (you can read the signed 33 page document here http://www.gwinnettcbservices.org/Documents/Solid_Waste_Ordinance_2008_2008112050.pdf ). The amendment, among other things, removes the 400k county resident’s ability to choose a garbage disposal service: they | Read More »
last night when they stymied the union bailout bill cordially known as the Auto Bailout bill. As many well thought out front page diarists have already pointed out, Francis Cianfrocca most notably, we will do this over again in January when the Democrats control everything. With this defeat, perhaps the remaining GOP senators have learned their collective lesson from the demise of so many | Read More »

seasons greetings or anything else. This is the season to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. If you are offended by that, frankly, I don’t care. I’m tired of having to worry about if the most high holy season of my religion offends anyone. You’re offense offends me. You’re lack of tolerance toward my religious beliefs offends me. The left tells us we do not | Read More »
Before John McCain picked Sarah Palin as his vice presidential running mate I didn’t know her. Even after we still only know what the MSM and the McCain handlers allowed us to see and hear. I think one of the flaws in McCain’s campaign was they didn’t allow Sarah to be herself. Part of that too was having to support the McCain platform and not | Read More »
Americans, why did McCain/Palin loose this election? A lack of conservative principals showcased from the beginning. The Republican leadership allowed a moderate (McCain) to be selected as our candidate. McCain ran a weak campaign only selecting Palin in the end to energize the conservative base, and she did. I submit if someone with more ‘fire in the belly’ for conservative principals like Sarah Palin had | Read More »
