Don't Give Up, It Ain't Over

November 8, 2012

It seems that some people think conservatism is dead and buried. Far from it. We may have lost this election but we didn't have much to pick from on either side so I am going to call it a draw. I don't think Romney or Obama care about America and what made us the country we are. We must hold fast to our values and we can't depend on the goverment to help us.

After reading the comments posted by the liberals here over the last couple of days I will have to say I have been a bit disappointed in some of you. Many if not most of the comments were nasty as hell and I saw a side of some that I didn't think you would lower yourselves to. I know some of you are better than that as I have read your comments for a while now. I don't always agree with you but at least you did have a level of consideration for others that did not share the same views and for that you had my respect. I guess you were just caught up in the moment but If we are all honest here some of them were uncalled for. Their were some new voices that did push things a bit much. I think a couple of them must have been first time voters and I remember that feeling when I voted the first time. In my first election I voted for Jimmy Carter. I learned from my mistake, but I am a bit older than some of you and I don't mind admitting when I am wrong.

    Rep. Regina Quick pulls no punches on Chamber scorecard

    Rep. Regina Quick, R-Athens, was one of two local delegates to score less than an "A+" in the Chamber of Commerce's annual legislative score card. She and I played phone tag Monday when I was reporting the story and I wasn't able to get her comments in a timely fashion. Instead, she sent over this statement Wednesday morning and she did not mince her words. (Links and italicized portions are my own; otherwise, it's as she wrote it.) Dear Friends: read more

    UPDATED: Draft language of so-called curfew ordinance

    The committee opted Tuesday night to put off deciding on the ordinance until, at the earliest, its next meeting. Of note: The Athens-Clarke County attorney highlighted that the proposed times are, in essence, placeholders for the commission to change or keep as it pleases.   Full text of the Use of Public Right-of-Ways ordinance draft is below. read more
