The query has been posed, “Which Liberty may you yield and still claim to be free?”
The Second Amendment is an archaic hold-over from a time when ideas such as security and justice necessitated its use. Today it is useless as a means to such ends. Try using it to enforce an individual’s, or his family’s, security from an oppressive government agent or to enforce your, or … Read more...

As the primary election results in Georgia came in on May 20, Republicans in Washington, D.C., heaved a collective sigh of relief.
As they watched Georgia’s Republican primary election in progress, they were haunted by flashbacks of lost opportunities in the past when weaker challengers defeated stronger potential Republican nominees only to then lose to Democrats in the general election.
But, the consensus seems to be that … Read more...

As the money continues to roll in for the 2014 Georgia senatorial and gubernatorial candidates, Georgia media outlets must be smiling big. At the end of the day, most contenders and independent expenditure committees will use that money to either promote or attack candidates in the 2014 elections.

During the last several months, the Evans Report made some bold predictions long before the events that transpired for the upcoming 2014 primary and general election. At the time, most pundits were still pontificating about elections in the rest of the country, assuming that Georgia would be a relatively uneventful affair with Republicans cruising toward another year of Election Day dominance and Democrats still struggling to find … Read more...

While virtually all of the attention will be on the litany of candidates to replace Georgia’s senior U.S. Sen.

Recently I learned that, while not a national holiday, February 1 each year is “National Freedom Day” here in America. I wonder how many Americans have ever heard of our “National Freedom Day?” National Freedom Day remembers the day Abraham Lincoln signed a resolution for the United States Constitution’s 13th amendment in order to abolish slavery, February 1, 1865. This amendment was quickly ratified on December … Read more...

Tribune columnist Roger Hines’ recent column regarding the teaching of evolution as fact, not theory piqued my interest. Why, I ask, do two highly professional groups, the scientific and the religious communities, continue at logger-heads over this issue. While the “law of evolution” is real, we all see it in operation daily, there is no connection between the ‘proven law of evolution’ and ‘the prominent theory’ … Read more...
