Social conservatives call for civil disobedience
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | November 22nd at 10:08 AM |
DeVine Law thinks it’s about time Gamecock had long called for Martin Luther King, Jr.-style (with all due respect also to Henry David Thoreau and Mahatma Gandhi) non-violent, civil disobedience in oil drilling even before ObamaDems took over D.C. with economic policies that prevent We the People from bailing ourselves out of this Great Recession. Now, religious and social conservatives see a potential Liberty-destroying menace | Read More »
Words of Koran lend terrorists credibility
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | November 20th at 08:45 AM |
Strict Constructionism is civilization’s friend when applied to the U.S. Constitution and the Bible. Not so when applied to the Koran and other authoritative writings of Islam. The latter fact is a major factor in the rise of Islamist terror, as the plain and obvious meaning of the actual words of Allah in the Koran lend credibility to those the extremists in the Muslim and | Read More »

By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | November 19th at 01:11 PM |
DeVine Law Gamecock was in his element at Emory Law School on Wednesday night as one of conservatives’ favorite reporters in the Drive-By Media spoke to a nearly full Tull Auditorium. John Stossel, famous for consumer horror stories for years at ABC, spoke mostly about his transition from liberal to libertarian at the event, co-sponsored by The Federalist Society.

Former Dem White House Counsel challenges Obama on Honduras
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | November 18th at 06:23 AM |
Lanny Davis, former Clinton White House Counsel and, more importantly, a Friend of Bill since he became good friends with Hillary and the former President at Yale, refutes the Obama Administration “coup d’etat” narrative on Honduras and demands that the upcoming elections be honored. The former First Lady and current Secretary of State would do well to heed Lawyer Davis’ advice with respect to: The | Read More »
The dearth of drive-by media curiosity and Fox News balance
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | November 17th at 01:26 PM |
Don’t hold your breath tonight waiting to hear a tough question to Obama from Fox News Channel’s Major Garrett The main theme of this latest installment of “Foghorn Leghorns“, or getting our legs around Drive-by Media fog“, is the overall lack of journalistic curiosity, especially as pertains to running interference for President Barack Obama and his fellow democrats. But, upon hearing of a planned partial lifting of the Obama Adminstration’s thuggish boycott | Read More »
Defending Erick Erickson
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | November 16th at 08:44 AM |
False claims of race-baiting have no place in civilized society Nor on the front page of Race42012 It is with great sadness that I am compelled to write this column defending Erick Erickson of Redstate.com against false charges of “pulling the race card”; “race-baiting”; and of being a “race pimp.” Those are fighting words where I come from, and so, after following the Biblical step-by-step | Read More »
Mormons prove marriage separate from discrimination laws
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | November 15th at 12:15 PM |
The institution of marriage vs. housing/employment discrimination and hate crime legislation From the category of headlines the Drive-by media has conditioned us to deem unfathomable comes this from the AP: Mormons back gay rights in Salt Lake City It looked like a stunning reversal: the same church that helped defeat gay marriage in California standing with gay-rights activists on an anti-discrimination law in its own | Read More »
Obama earning dishonorable discharge by dishonoring veterans
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | November 12th at 04:20 PM |
In the wake of the Fort Hood Massacre and the “11th hour” state of the American economy and Liberty at home and abroad generally, one column honoring veterans on the occasion of the November 11th national holiday was not enough. In our three previous columns concerning the treasonous murders (now at 14 counting the unborn child of one of the victims) perpetrated by Major Malik | Read More »
Honor veterans by declaring war on PC, i.e. cowardly liars
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | November 11th at 01:24 PM |
Today’s national holiday honoring America’s military vets began as a celebration of the Armistice-signing end of The Great War on the “the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month” in 1918. Less than two years earlier, President Woodrow Wilson sent America’s finest “over there” to save Western Civilization from freedom’s enemies. But when even our armed forces are so paralyzed by a | Read More »
Maine marriage referendum betrays small “r” republican principles
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | November 10th at 12:50 PM |
The Constitution guarantees states a “republican” form of government. Republics make law via legislatures, not by judicial fiat or the mob rule of pure democracy. Conservatives like me, applauded California’s referenda reversing its Supreme Court’s same-sex marriage creation. We admonished same-sex marriage supporters to exercise their free speech rights in the arena of ideas. They did so in Maine, successfully lobbying the Pine Tree State | Read More »
So morning in America and mourning Reagan leads to praising Gorbachev?
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | November 9th at 02:02 PM |
Massive outpouring of adulation for Reagan at the time of his death and funeral shamed most Leftist Democrats and Drive-by media into sharing credit with Reagan for the fall of the Evil Empire. But with President Barack Obama barely noting the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, his fellow ideologues re-write history by lauding the Communist leader whose head Reagan placed on | Read More »
Obama busy building walls, not celebrating Berlin’s fall
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | November 8th at 10:27 PM |
Administration policies pit America against freedom fighters at home and abroad as President prefers spotlight shining on him, rather than Reagan’s Shining City on a Hill Five moments define the Reagan Presidency for me, with the greatest of them (1) occurring on November 9, 1989, when freedom-loving East and West Berliners tore down (video of the fall) the symbol of Communist tyrannical oppression, some ten | Read More »
Maj. Hasan as Anita Hill and Ft. Hood as Virginia Tech?
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | November 7th at 10:46 AM |
Has political correctness turned U.S. military bases into free speech, gun-free zones? Before we address why an apparent anti-American subversive who frequently spoke in support of Muslim solidarity in jihad against the U.S. in Afghanistan and Iraq and, yet, was allowed to remain an officer in the U.S. military, DeVine Law Layman has a question for those with experience on military bases and any JAG | Read More »
Drive-by media sees only skin color in Atlanta mayoral run-off
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | November 6th at 12:52 PM |
Leadership, not race, will decide Atlanta mayoral run-off The dead-tree drive-by media in Atlanta, as predicted here and here, has beaten the racial drum incessantly since Mary Norwood (46%) failed to garner the required 50% plus one votes to avoid a December 1 run-off against runner-up Kasim Reed (36%). The latest insult to Atlanta voters cites MSM polls showing a strong inclination for people to | Read More »
Failure to ID Ft. Hood shooter akin to Democrats’ PC-police vote on illegals?
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | November 5th at 07:39 PM |
Headline you never see: Republicans block census citizenship question Another you never see: Democrats block Census citizenship question. The reason you never see the first question as an MSM news headline is that Republicans don’t object to asking the people being counted to determine the apportionment of the political power in this country among the States, the following question on a census form: “Are you | Read More »
ObamaDem policies conservatives must support
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | November 5th at 09:27 AM |
The 9.8% of Americans that are unemployed and the 90.2% that are either employed or have given up looking, are told that the Great Recession is over. Don’t believe a word of it or find a new word to describe the trouble we are in as a nation. I wrote last year that no matter who was elected President that we, as a people, would | Read More »

Reed comeback in Atlanta mayoral race not due to race
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | November 4th at 09:13 AM |
The racists in this drama are the media No matter how incessantly the Drive-by media talks about white and black voters, the change in the relative fortunes of frontrunner Mary Norwood and runner-up Kasim Reed is about leadership qualities, and not the relative pigmentation of their skins. Less than 48 hours ago, polls showed Mary Norwood might be able to garner 50% plus one vote | Read More »
Cockstradamus returns for Atlanta’s color blind mayoral election
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | November 3rd at 11:43 AM |
Atlanta remains a city too busy to hate, which fact caused the Rooster oracle to realize he wasn’t too busy to end his Sabbatical for an Election Day prognostication. This I-85 South Carolina native has loved the Capital of Dixie since childhood. His brother was even born at Crawford-Long Hospital when the family moved to Bolton Drive during a Southern Railway shutdown of its Hayne | Read More »
Graham unwittingly gets liberal admissions against Cap and Trade via NYT editorial
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | November 2nd at 11:55 AM |
Post-2000 conservative epiphany, I have come to realize that many of the leaders of my former Democratic Party must not really care for the poor given their denial of the poor boats lifted by Reaganite supply side economic policies and given their continuing advocacy of proven failed liberal policies since the 1960s. [See * at end of column for background.] Even while an activist Democratic | Read More »
