I can’t stand Bill Belichick but must admit that he was smart to tell his Patriots defenders to allow the Giants’ Ahmad Bradshaw to score a touchdown in the last few minutes of the Super Bowl. Belichick did the calculations and knew he wanted the ball back in Tom Brady’s hands. The decision, which [...]

Belichick, Newt and Obama: Let Them Score

Democrats for Newt Gingrich….Really
Posted in politics, tagged Conservatives, democrats, Michelle Obama, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Obama, republicans on January 31, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
I am voting for President Obama in November and Newt Gingrich in March. Obama supporters in conservative states with open primaries should know that giving the president Newt as a target is as important as their general election vote. Every Mitt Romney associated super PAC T.V. ad regarding Newt’s negatives actually reinforces my contentions. The [...]
South Georgia Congressional Delegation: Basketball’s JAB Step
Posted in politics, tagged agriculture, austin scott, basketball, Conservatives, democrats, Georgia, GOP, Isakson, Jack Kingston, sanford bishop, saxby on January 10, 2012 | 1 Comment »
I am sick and tired of national folks taking political jabs at my south Georgia congressional delegation. The fellows need to jab back. My rural south agenda focuses on agriculture, education/jobs, military/veterans and transportation. If they take care of those areas, other stuff is secondary because all politics is local. My Georgia is the area [...]
Barack Al Gore Obama
Posted in politics, tagged Clinton, democrats, GOP, Gore, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich on January 8, 2012 | 4 Comments »
I see it coming from a mile away and know I am going to be ticked off by the Democrats. It happened before with Al Gore. Since Bill Clinton’s White House did some much for regular people and left a budget surplus, Al Gore should have been a shoe-in. But, some folks are too lazy [...]
2012 Political Season: Magic Wand and Understanding
Posted in politics, tagged austin scott, Conservatives, democrats, Georgia, GOP, hip hop, Huntsman, Newt Gingrich, Obama, republicans, sanford bishop, tea party on December 27, 2011 | 3 Comments »
If I could wave a magic wand on New Year’s Eve, the notations I would place in southern voters’ minds as we enter the election year would involve understanding. Kandi from the Real Housewives of Atlanta was in a hip hop group with T.I.’s lady Tiny back in the day and they had a hit called [...]
Open Letter: Regarding Southern Democrats and All Presidential Campaigns
Posted in politics, tagged democrats, GOP, Herman Cain, Huntsman, Newt Gingrich, Obama, republicans, Rick Perry on November 14, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
If the GOP presidential primary process continues deep into the winter, all candidates will benefit in some way (including President Obama.) We should pause to think about Tim Pawlenty and Mitch Daniels—good guys that most voters never got to know as presidential candidates because they exited too early. Those exits should be a lesson for [...]
Red State Democrats and Hillary’s PUMAs: Inconsequential or Potential Game-changers
Posted in politics, tagged Cain, Conservatives, democrats, Herman Cain, hillary, Huntsman, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Obama, republicans, Rick Perry on October 25, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
To hear experts talk, the next presidential election will be decided in a few swing states. Democrats in red states must sit back, donate and watch. The only say many moderates have during the process is the primary elections. President Obama will be the Democrat nominee but should Dems hedge our bets by voting in [...]
Politics and Football’s Veer Option Offense
Posted in politics, tagged democrats, football, Herman Cain, Hershel Walker, hillary, J.C. Watts, Newt Gingrich, Obama on October 21, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Presidential politics puts college football’s option offense in my mind. Mixing metaphors is risk as we remember Obama/Palin with lipstick on a pig and more recently Herman Cain’s 999 with apples and oranges. Those other candidates at the Western debate knew full well what he was saying. State sales tax will still be there anyway [...]
“Hear Me Out” -Unlikely Allies Project: A Grassroots Voters Education Initiative
Posted in politics, tagged Conservatives, democrats, Georgia, politics, republicans on October 13, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Have the presidential opponents for November 2012 been determined a year early? We aren’t comfortable with that notion because our community should have more say in the matter. Because there is nothing better than a well-informed electorate, we are starting an Unlikely Allies Project called “Hear Me Out” to educate Americans about the primary process [...]
Brainwashed: Herman Cain And Me (Luke 6:42)
Posted in politics, tagged African Americans, Blacks, CNN, Conservatives, democrats, Fox News, Herman Cain, msnbc on October 1, 2011 | 5 Comments »
Herman Cain said Black Democrats are brainwashed and he is right. Also, he is brainwashed and I am brainwashed. Hell, everyone I know is brainwashed to a certain degree by someone or something—some negative and some positive. My dictionary tells me that brainwashing is an intensive indoctrination, usually political, aimed at changing a person’s basic [...]
Congressional Map: Rep. Bishop and Rep. Austin Scott safe at home
Posted in politics, tagged austin scott, Conservatives, democrats, Obama, republicans, sanford bishop on August 23, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Georgia’s proposed congressional map is out and I feel just fine. President Obama once said don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. I would have liked my hometown to remain in Rep. Sanford Bishop’s district but we took one for the team. Since my county is GOP-dominated, it’s better for Bishop that we bounce into [...]
Crystal Ball: Georgia Reapportionment and 2012 Elections
Posted in politics, tagged African Americans, austin scott, democrats, Macon, Michael Steele, Obama, republicans, sanford bishop on August 9, 2011 | 1 Comment »
If crystal balls were real, I would look into one and tell Georgia what will happen with congress reapportionment and the 2012 elections (no need to state the obvious in safe seats.) Georgia 2nd District: Macon, Columbus and Albany will again be in this district and it will be Dem for the next ten years. [...]
Worst Congress Ever?
Posted in politics, tagged Congress, Conservatives, democrats, Fox News, moderates, msnbc, republicans on July 26, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
On Chuck Todd’s MSNBC show recently, he had a segment asking the question “Is this the worst congress of all-time.” While I am not sure about all-time, it might be the worst of my adult life for the reasons discussed by former Senator John Breaux and Political Scientist Norm Ornstein. [http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/43880181#43880181] Congress and the White House [...]
Georgia Congressional Redistricting: Split Tift and Worth Counties
Posted in politics, tagged austin scott, Conservatives, democrats, Georgia, GOP, moderates, Obama, redistricting, sanford bishop, tift, tifton on July 11, 2011 | 5 Comments »
Congressional redistricting should embrace split counties in some situations as the logical reflection of the divisions between people. We know the cigar-chomping leaders will make the decisions behind closed doors and spin their maps as “the best interest of all Americans.” But, a case can be made for putting like-minded people in the same districts [...]
Jon Huntsman: Obama’s Cousin (Not really)
Posted in politics, tagged democrats, GOP, hillary, Huntsman, Obama, republicans, White House on June 21, 2011 | 2 Comments »
Jon Huntsman’s candidacy helps the political arena because he serves as foil to the other GOPers in the race for the White House. If I remember correctly from junior high lit class, foil is a character who contrasts with another character to highlight features of that character’s personality…i.e. Dr. Watson to Sherlock Holmes…Morris Day to Prince….Dirk [...]
Redistricting: Consider Yourselves Warned
Posted in politics, tagged Conservatives, democrats, moderates, politics on May 23, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
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 [...]
Obama, McNaughton’s The Forgotten Man and the Georgia Congressional Delegation

There is a controversial painting of all American presidents that includes President Obama standing on the U.S. Constitution. The guy was president of the Harvard Law Review and a University of Chicago constitutional law professor but he doesn’t respect the Constitution. Really? I saw the painting hanging in the district office of U.S. Rep. [...]

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 [...]
The Book of Eli, New Job, Fresh Start
Posted in politics, tagged Bible, Congress, democrats, Denzel, faith, Obama, republicans on January 3, 2011 | 1 Comment »
I watched Denzel Washington’s movie The Book of Eli in the wee hours of New Year’s Day. Washington’s character was protecting the last known King James Bible in a post nuclear war world. We forget how important and useful the Bible’s messages and lessons are when (to be frank) we are busying sinning. Yesterday at [...]
