I am here to tell you…mark my word: the conservative movement is about to out hustle the left and the middle again. My friends can’t stop giving me a hard time about being on the local news for attending a meeting on redistricting with three people. http://www.walb.com/story/14699961/albany-hosts-redistricting-meeting?redirected=tru Oh, but the real hard time is coming [...]

Political Opponents: Stack the Deck or What the Heck
Posted in politics, tagged Blacks, Congress, Conservatives, Georgia, Herman Cain, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Obama, saxby on May 21, 2011 | 3 Comments »
I am a good American who wants the best people governing. While I support candidates I find competent of any party, a quagmire results from deciding if I should hope for an opponent who is easier for my guy to beat or hope for a quality person who would serve well if elected. Obama is [...]
Defense and Foreign Affairs: Unlikely Allies Project
Posted in politics, tagged Conservatives, military, Obama, terrorism, Trump on May 2, 2011 | 2 Comments »
As a superpower, what is America’s role in the complicated world? Ted Sadler: President Obama announced his Bin Laden news during the Celebrity Apprentice Sunday night to get back at Donald Trump and because he didn’t want the nation seeing NeNe Leakes and Star Jones having a Black women catfight; Obama must be cheering “Hope” Dworaczyk because he is [...]
Unlikely Allies Project

Project Logic GA is starting a year long, monthly effort design to broaden our discussion of major issues, cultivate the next group of policy leaders and create a web-based/actual meetup network of results-oriented voters. We believe, the major political parties, the media and special interest groups often execute their agenda while the people seem like pawns [...]
President Obama and New GOP Leaders: Nice
Posted in politics, tagged Conservatives, democrats, GOP, moderates, Obama, republicans, Scarborough on March 1, 2011 | 3 Comments »
Joe Scarborough’s Politico column “GOP gets dose of ‘Wisconsin nice’” will never be read by the average southern conservatives. But, the more positive vibe coming from RNC chairman Reince Preibus, Rep. Paul Ryan and Gov. Scott Walker could be the blueprint for making their policies palatable to moderates and centrists. Yes, Governor Walker is in the [...]
Columnist Cynthia Tucker on Possible Presidential candidate Mitch Daniels
Posted in politics, tagged abortion, agriculture, Conservatives, hillary, Mitch Daniels, moderates, Obama on February 12, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
I want a second Obama term and a recovered economy is a must for that to happen. But, I am smart enough to know that other possibilities might occur. The president could reform what he wants and walk away from the game like running back Jim Brown (President Hillary?). There is a growing chorus in my [...]
Clever: Egypt, Conservatism, Obama and Reagan
Posted in politics, tagged African Americans, Blacks, Conservatives, Egypt, Obama, oil, Reagan on February 1, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Okay, please help me understand the word clever. Does it have a negative connotation? I think the positive side of being clever involves using one’s noggin to find logical solutions to pressing matters. It’s not rocket science to think that people in an oil-producing region want leadership that market and handle natural resources to the [...]
GOP Candidate Barrack Obama: Child Please
Posted in politics, tagged Conservatives, Michelle Obama, Newt Gingrich, Obama, republicans on January 25, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
If you watch CBS’s Sunday Morning this week, you might have caught Ben Stein tripping about Barrack Obama running for president in 2012…as a Republican. Barrack Obama, Ernest Hemingway and Arthur Ashe are the coolest cats ever in my opinion but watching the president catch all this heat is rough. Stein was joking but readers [...]
Party Politics: The Enemy of Good
Posted in politics, tagged Conservatives, democrats, GOP, moderates, palin, sanford bishop on December 10, 2010 | 1 Comment »
In December of last year, President Obama quoted a variation of Voltaire’s “Don’t let prefect be the enemy of good” to Democratic Senators. The late Senator Ted Kennedy was famous for saying it is better to get half a loaf than no loaf at all. We need compromise, understanding and dialog in a large diverse [...]
President Obama, The Tea Party and Civil Wars
Posted in politics, tagged austin scott, Bush, Congress, Conservatives, democrats, moderates, Obama, sanford bishop, tea party on November 7, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
It’s 5:15 a.m. on Day Lights Saving Time Sunday morning and my clock just fell back. In American politics, it feels like we are falling back in time also. Are we near a cultural Civil war and isn’t “civil” war the ultimate oxymoron. The one thing that is sure is that we need to have [...]
Albany Herald Wrong About Rep. Sanford Bishop
Posted in politics, tagged austin scott, Congress, Conservatives, democrats, Georgia, Isakson, moderates, sanford bishop, tea party on November 1, 2010 | 14 Comments »
The Albany Herald endorsed Mike Keown for congress in Georgia’s second district over Sanford Bishop. I think that newspaper is wrong because Bishop is uniquely qualified and appropriate to represent the urban/rural; liberal/conservative and yes Black/White hodgepodge that is the 2nd District. Keown is a conservative pastor from a very rural area and speaks with [...]
Ugly Connotations and Comfort Levels: Boot Barnes, Boot Bishop, Boot Scott
Posted in politics, tagged austin scott, Conservatives, democrats, Isakson, sanford bishop on October 26, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Our shrewd plot has been foiled a week before the elections. The moderators of Project Logic Ga have always supported candidates from our parties (Democrat for me and who knows for Helen) but we also prepped for the worst case scenario by sending best wishes to the best candidates from the other side. The residual [...]
The Blindside: President Obama and Rep. Sanford Bishop
Posted in politics, tagged Conservatives, democrats, Georgia, Isakson, Obama, republicans, sanford bishop, tea party on October 16, 2010 | 1 Comment »
I watched the movie The Blindside on cable on-demand with my mother yesterday and she enjoyed the first football film of her eighty years on earth. Watching a movie was a welcomed departure from the political campaign ads but that movie still had me thinking about election season 2010 which is more like the movie The [...]
Carter, Reagan, Obama and President Palin
Posted in politics, tagged blue dogs, Congress, Conservatives, Georgia, GOP, Obama, republicans, tea party, vote on October 5, 2010 | 1 Comment »
I feel like Chicken Little but would perfect a little chicken—smoked with some John Boy and Billy barbeque sauce. It’s hard for a brother to publicly admit a love for yardbird but it is time to tell the truth. After watching a zillion campaign ads a month before the election, I wish those fellows would spend 5% [...]
Pyrrhic Victory: The Politics of Winners/Losers
Posted in politics, tagged Conservatives, democrats, Obama, sanford bishop, saxby, tea party on September 23, 2010 | 1 Comment »
A Pyrrhic Victory is a victory offset by staggering losses. King Pyrrhus’ of Epirus Army suffered tremendous casualties in the defeating the Romans in 280 BC—winning at all cost. As a student, studying the massive loss of human life during the American Civil War was rough. Some observers have liken the current political battles to [...]
Michael Steele In Georgia: Shoot the Gift
Posted in politics, tagged Blacks, blue dogs, Congress, Conservatives, Georgia, Michael Steele, republicans on September 19, 2010 | 4 Comments »
I caught RNC Chairman Michael Steele at two speaking events on Saturday and I couldn’t help but think what should have been. Steele nodded in agreement when I said that his Blueprint document from his campaign for chair was the forgotten outline for their success. In other words, they could be winning on facts, policy, [...]
George C. Fraser: Economic Empowerment over Political Power
Posted in politics, tagged African Americans, Blacks, Congress, Conservatives, politics, youth on September 16, 2010 | 1 Comment »
In his book “Success Runs In Our Race,” George Fraser convinced me that networking was vital to professional and social success. On Tavis Smiley’s Covenant With Black America, Fraser asserted that African-Americans were the only Americans who sought political power before economic power upon arriving in this country or what would become this country. [...]
Election Night: Worst-Case Scenarios
Posted in politics, tagged African Americans, austin scott, Blacks, blue dogs, Conservatives, democrats, Georgia, Jim Marshall, Michelle Obama, republicans, sanford bishop, tea party on September 12, 2010 | 2 Comments »
I was in a discussion this weekend about the worst-case scenarios for election night in November; the situations and outcomes that should have been debated and considered now. Lately, the GOP in Georgia has been taking heat in my community because African American (AA) candidates Dr. Deborah Honeycutt and Melvin Everson couldn’t make it out [...]
Obama and Cameo: Don’t Be Lonely

President Obama should listen to the jam band Cameo during his Martha’s Vineyard vacation. Of course, he must hit the Black Dog Tavern and cop a t-shirt and cap. An old friend sent me a Black Dog hat and people in south Georgia wonder if the “Black Dog” is an African-American sub-group inside the Blue [...]
Young, Black & Republican: documentary
Posted in African Americans, politics, Republican, tagged African Americans, blue dogs, Conservatives, republicans on August 18, 2010 | 5 Comments »
I am a moderate Democrat but a young conservative brother from Atlanta who works for a South Carolina GOP member of congress sent me the short documentary “Young, Black & Republican.” As a kid reading Black Enterprise magazine and watching Tony Brown’s Journal on PBS, I remember this pro-business, self-determination type African-American Republican. Hell, every [...]
