Nothing much was changed by election, but Congress must produce

Now that the election is behind us, it is clear that nothing much has changed. There are some new faces in both houses of Congress, but the Democrats still control the Senate and the Republicans still control the House of Representatives. The same president is in office.

It looks like we have had a major “Bru-ha-ha” for the last three years for nothing. The people have spoken and it is clear that they don’t want to change government leadership, but they do want change. Read More»

How to battle left wing takeover of America

Well, the election is over and the looters, moochers, and losers of our country have reaffirmed their right to a large portion of our pay checks for another four years.

I am not sure how others feel. Maybe they want to compromise with the socialists or appease them. I ,for one, want to fight (not with guns, at least not yet). How, pray tell, can we fight back? See below.

1. Take the fight to the left wing’s supporters, not just the Democrat Party. Read More»

What if ...Christie hadn’t embraced Obama

Some post-election pundits are placing the blame for the GOP’s loss on Chris Christie. His lavish praise for Barack Obama in the aftermath of Sandy was a moment that could not be purchased with tens of millions of dollars of political advertising. The biased media, hungry for anything positive, portrayed the incumbent as Presidential and bi-partisan. As if one brief moment could erase four years of vicious partisanship.

What if Chris Christie refused federal aid? What if he decided to rely on conservative principles and self reliance? What if he asked the people of America for help? Read More»

Good will win in end

I wanted to vote for Obama simply because he is a black guy. Having a black fellow leading our country sends a message to the world. That even though we have stumbled a number of times since our humble beginnings, we do strive to achieve those ideals so elegantly proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence; and that we are still an exceptional, protean people capable of going beyond the prosaic and achieving the exceptional despite our faults and shortcomings.

WASA chairman urges volunteers for sewer board

WASA chairman urges volunteers for sewer board

What is the Peachtree City Water and Sewerage Authority (WASA)? WASA was established in 1987 by an act of the Georgia state legislature to oversee and operate the collection and treatment of wastewater within the service district, which is primarily Peachtree City.

WASA is an entity independent of the Peachtree City government. There are five unpaid volunteer board members, who are required to be city residents and are each appointed to a five-year term by the City Council of Peachtree City. I am currently the Chairman of the Board. Read More»

Can’t support Boy Scouts’ gay ban

Due to the discriminatory ban Boy Scouts of America maintains against homosexuals, I recently returned the Eagle Scout award I earned in December of 1994.

Growing up, I loved Scouting. My father encouraged me to join Tiger Cubs when I was 6 years old, and I remained active until high school. I made many great friends throughout the years, and I learned a variety of skills from camping to leadership. Read More»

The abortion issue: 3 bodies are involved

Again, I do not know why I even open The Citizen because it does nothing but increase my blood pressure and cause headaches but, as “they” say, insanity, etc., etc.

While I take exception to just about everything in Mr. Hoffman’s letter, I have to totally disagree with his reference to “two bodies involved.”

It would appear to me there are definitely three bodies involved: the mother, the embryo/fetus/unborn child, and THE FATHER.

While his body does not go through the pregnancy, he definitely had a huge part in it. Yet, we continue to go after the women. Read More»

Don’t forget POWs

I recently visited the outstanding Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola. One small, sobering exhibit was about American POWs in Vietnam, which again reminded me that so many Americans have given so much for our country, and also of how negligent and deceitful some of our national leadership has been.

Although our country needs both a strong federal government and national leader, both political parties are too involved in my personal life. Read More»

On sale now to benefit local charity: Haddix bumper sticker

Usually on two to three mornings every week a small but somewhat vocal (and opinionated) group of Peachtree City residents gather at Mimi’s for breakfast and coffee to discuss events from local politics through world issues.

Since many of the participants are veterans of military service, one can correctly assume there is little to no political correctness or sugarcoating of facts to protect anyone’s feelings. Read More»

Grieving family grateful for community tribute

A death in a family, the death of a child, leaves a mark forever on the hearts of those who grieve their loss.

The unexpected death of our 7-year-old grandson Bryce on Sept. 21 has changed us in ways we could never have imagined. Read More»
