Mr. President ... you blew it!

Southern Author — 2009-11-14T22:51:00Z

At your inauguration, you spoke of a ‘transformational age where hope would replace fear, unity would overtake partisanship, and change would sweep aside the status quo.' But the only thing that is changing is the ‘Candidate of Change', himself.

"Take One Six" - a flying lesson to remember!

Southern Author — 2009-10-11T01:32:00Z

A few hundred feet down the runway she eased back on the yoke and we began to climb. That's when it happened - the engine backfired, coughed and sputtered; the instrument panel shook and the tachometer swung wildly between idle and 1400 rpm. Take 16?

In God We Still Trust

Southern Author — 2009-10-01T20:59:00Z

Baby Boomers are the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors the world has ever known. In a world that isn't always fair, we produced an explosion of innovative and new ideas. We trusted God, not government, to sustain us and supply our needs

Hero Worship

Southern Author — 2009-07-07T21:46:00Z

Michael Jackson will be remembered as one of the greatest singers of modern time - also for a lifestyle that included sleeping with a chimpanzee, living in a carnival-like atmosphere at Neverland; his eccentricities and weird dress. But a hero? C'mon

Can America be saved?

Southern Author — 2009-07-02T18:52:00Z

Amidst all the gloom and doom and craziness, there's hope. Those of us that attended this week's "Restoring America" Conference believe that through fervent and faithful prayer, our battles can be won and America's best days are still to come.

So where do you get your news?

Southern Author — 2009-06-25T21:31:00Z

If it comes from CNN, get ready for more change you can believe in! Launched in 1980, CNN was the first all-news cable network in this country. I recall thinking, "24-hour news coverage? You have to be kidding." Old Ted must be off his rocker!

The government's economic bail out won't fix "stupid"

Southern Author — 2009-06-13T17:17:00Z

The latest in a list of really stupid Bills from our dumbocrat-controlled Congress and Sir Hopenchange is called Cash for Clunkers. It gives owners of old SUVs and other fuel-inefficient vehicles, cash to buy new ones - at taxpayer expense of course.

Now you see it, now you don?t

Southern Author — 2009-06-11T22:05:00Z

In this day and age, sleight-of-hand practically defines politics. Universal Health Care, Socialized Medicine and Single-Payer Systems are all political tricksy whose acceptance depends on the success of a political phenomenon called sleight-of-hand.

My Little Town

Southern Author — 2009-06-10T15:18:00Z

FBI says: Atlanta is "America's 2nd least safe city" with a 16% per capita crime rate." The mayor disagrees and says the numbers are jumbled. Citizens celebrate the honor by locking up their flat screen TVs and placing their valuables out of sight.

Who was William Long?

Southern Author — 2009-06-07T12:41:00Z

If you don't watch Fox News, you probably don't know. Private William Long was killed on June 1. Not in Iraq or Afghanistan - not by a roadside bomb or RPG. No, he was killed in the heartland near where Mike Huckabee and the "Little Rockers" grew up.

"The Old Gray Mare" and other things that "ain't what they used to be"

Southern Author — 2009-06-01T01:05:00Z

Now before you get the idea that I spent my youth in the pre-automotive era, I assure you that was not the case. No, all this began near the end of WWII when I was a kid growing up in Atlanta. I remember a lot about those days - much of it good.

Celebrate Memorial Day with "The American Patriot's Bible"

Southern Author — 2009-05-25T17:33:00Z

The government, the courts and elements in our society are working to take God out of our lives. Although our nation has been in rebellion for decades, the goal of the godless is to make God irrelevant. A new Bible tells us it wasn't always that way.

Fools Gold

Southern Author — 2009-05-22T17:32:00Z

Fools' Gold - noun: "Something that appears valuable, but is worthless. Its luster has fooled many into believing they have struck gold while in fact, it's something of little value." Sounds to me like Sir Hopenchange and his legion of dumbocrats.

So these guys are rightwing extremists...

Southern Author — 2009-04-19T21:25:00Z

Are you one, too? You can't tell by looking in the mirror. Even by asking your wife who usually has all the answers. How do you find out? Who do you ask? Why the government, of course! A report from the Department of Homeland Security makes it easy.

Every rodeo needs a clown...

Southern Author — 2009-04-11T23:39:00Z

... And the Obama rodeo has one in Vice President Joe Biden. He's a clown par excellence; a gaffe machine. But wait, there's more. Joe Biden is also chronic prevaricator, a self-absorbed windbag. He's a perfect fit for the Obama administration!

"I love God, not church greed"

Southern Author — 2009-04-02T18:32:00Z

That was the title of an editorial in yesterday's local newspaper. It was written by a savvy 24-year old college student - a talented writer ... articulate and concise. Idealistic and outspoken, he reminded me of me 40-odd years ago.

Sir Hopenchange and his great money printing machine

Southern Author — 2009-03-17T13:19:00Z

After posting another large loss, Sir Hopenchange is giving AIG another $30-billion. $50-billion of the billions already given them went to five foreign banks. Why are are we bailing out foreign banks and bonusing crooked executives? Why indeed!

Birds of a feather

Southern Author — 2009-03-14T17:47:00Z

If he was being honest, Obama would have said that he agreed 100% with what Wright said, just not how he said it. Redistributing wealth is a classic tenet of Rev. Wright's Black Liberation Theology, and redistributing wealth is high on Obama's list.

Doo-doo economics!

Southern Author — 2009-03-06T14:28:00Z

Folks, I get it. After listening over and over to Obama's February 24 budget speech to Congress, it finally sank in. Instead of Voodoo economics, this is simply doo-doo economics! Why have the republicans and El Rushbo made all of this so difficult?

The second sinking of the fleet

Southern Author — 2009-03-03T21:47:00Z

Yesterday the Dow fell to 6763 - a decline of 25% in two months and the lowest level since 1997. Instead of raising all the boats as he promised, through ignorance, negligence and ideology, Obama and his socialistic party have sunk the fleet - again.

Remember New Coke? Say Hello to the New America!

Southern Author — 2009-02-27T16:18:00Z

New Coke had the spotlight for only three months, but business folklore is filled with stories about what happened when a cocky leader tampered with a well-established and successful brand. Is the same thing happening to classic America under Obama?

Folks, we got us a "ShamWow" president

Southern Author — 2009-02-13T13:53:00Z

"ShamWow" is another example of how companies use hard sell, slight of hand and a TV blitz to sell us stuff that won't work. That's how Barack Obama got elected. Apparently that's also how he intends to govern. Is he a leader or a ShamWow shyster?

Your new government at work

Southern Author — 2009-01-26T22:39:00Z

Taxes are going up - there's something called math! Ah yes ... big government; bad government. Big, bad government. Confucius say, "When one person is delusional, it is called insanity. When a group of people are delusional, they're called democrats!

Santa Bama

Southern Author — 2009-01-24T01:30:00Z

Jan. 21 seemed to me a lot like Dec. 26 - the day after Christmas. The day after all the presents are opened. The day when folks realize they aren't getting all they wanted or all that was promised. When reality sets in does depression follow?

Ain't no pot holes on Memory Lane!

Southern Author — 2009-01-05T00:15:00Z

I've told my wife that by reminiscing, I'm just reflecting on a simpler, more genuine time. That my recollections are harmless: my shenanigans and all those old girl friends don't mean a thing. I wouldn't trade what I have for all the tea in China.
