One of us has chose poorly. Hopefully it’s me, but I doubt it.

In military terms, you are asking him to send his soldiers into a battle they can’t possibly win. What kind of military strategy is that?

Sen. Johnson was a sponsor of the bill, yet “supporters knew by the time the meeting began that they wouldn’t have enough votes to pass it.”

Why show up if the bill is going to be withdrawn?

I’m one of those ignorant ones that believed in G-d and country, one of those fools that believed if we were old enough to die while serving our country at 18, we were old enough to drink at 18.

So Bucky Plyer and Eric Johnson, where are you brave bold assholes now?

My only is in Afghanistan, yet you two bitches, where are you?

Safe and judgemental due to the rest of us yet you assholes want to judge us all.

And the war on drugs is a crock, too. 80% of arrests last year were for possession–so clearly they ain’t going after the war lords. The law enforcement agencies use SWAT teams (I believe that would qualify as a standing army since that is military-is it not?) , invade personal property without a warrant on the suspicion of possession, etc. It is out of control. What you do on your private property, is just that, private.

This false righteousness that it’s ok to buy and sell on Sunday, but somehow buying and selling alcohol is sinful, reveals a very shallow understanding of civil government, Old Testament law, and conservatism.

GriftDrift, we will have current commentary concerning the legislation beginning next week on GeorgiaFirst.org, and the Sunday Sales of Alcohol will be discussed, and Ray’s views presented. I recommend that you check it out, and be encouraged. Not all our Gubernatorial candidates are tyrants.

My issue about Milton was to look at other alternatives before creating a 160th county. Nobody can be against self-determination, but there may be other ways to improve and control local government besides creating a new one.

Frankly for many elected officials there has been no perceived downside to opposing legislation that would enable retailers to enjoy the same opportunities that are afforded in basically the rest of the country.

So this issue is really at a crossroads. There are more than 600,000 employees who are directly impacted. Do they care? Can they be engaged? Until that question is answered at the polls the current political realities that exist in the Georgia Senate will remain in place.

I want to hear Ray McBerry go on the record saying he would sign an alcohol on Sunday bill.

Sincerely,

Doubting griftdrift

The bill’s withdrawal damages the GOP brand generically. The action further makes the case that GOP rank and file would rather protect their party and either fear or protect their leadership than represent their constituents. Another action like the House gas tax bill passed earlier this week demonstrating it’s about Power and not Policy. Pathetic.

And for a bonus, what’ s the name of the Titanic’s band leader?

I’m glad to see that my message is catching on. But did you find anything on families who consume GMO’s?

If anyone wants to ask a “real person” about this issue and some of the dynamics of what happened, please feel free to fire away.

I promise my language won’t be “salty”.
