Fayette aids Adairsville

Thanks, Fayette County; you are the best.

We went to Adairsville, Saturday, Feb. 23, and what a welcoming experience it was. We pulled up in a caravan consisting of three trailers, two pickups, three vans, three cars, and Allen McCarty’s mobile home. All were as filled as we could fill them with all new items. Read More»

Just examine angry Democrat’s words to determine who really is racist

It appears that Deborah Lum is surprised that she was called out on her diatribe of Feb. 6, 2013, “Why do blacks block vote? Let’s count reasons” in The Citizen.

And when she was called to task for her mean-spirited, racist and hate-filled accusations and labels, she accuses you of “living in an alternate universe” per her article in last week’s Feb. 27 Citizen. Read More»

Who is actually living in alternate universe?

Ah, Ms. Lum, you ascribe life in an alternate universe for myself and Mr. Allen. You may be correct.

In the universe where I reside, words used by you to describe those with whom you disagree, words like; intolerance, chicanery, incompetence, asinine, bigotry, hypocrisy, stupidity, racist, ignorance, etc. are in fact not civil discourse and do reflect hate.

I am sure that you recall the President’s call for civility after the Phoenix shooting, but maybe in your universe that message was only meant for Republicans. Read More»

Way to go, Gabby, girl!

I just finished reading an article about Peachtree City’s own Gabby Seiler breaking Jeff Sheppard’s scoring record at McIntosh High. Because of the absurd tallness of most college and NBA players, i.e., approaching nine feet, I am not a basketball fan. I am however a fan of American women, and Gabby Seiler is indicative of the growing power of American women in our world today. Read More»

Let’s remember some history

I would like to point out a few things that Deborah Lum of Fayetteville does not know, because all appearances she is educated on the left wing blogs and the left wing news media.

Since 2008 the government is totally dedicated to becoming a socialist Marxist country and as long as that is the goal of Obama and the Democratic Party. Read More»

Catfish tales

Sallie Satterthwaite's picture

A long-time aficionada of the succulent white meat of Ictalurus Punctatus, I was delighted several years ago to be invited to join the Loyal Order of Catfish Lovers. For $5 I’d get a badge, bumper sticker, newsletter, membership card, and instructions for the secret LOCL handshake from The Catfish Institute (a marketing association, not a school of fish).

What a deal! The packet came promptly as promised. Read More»

Sequestration — What it really means

Bonnie Willis's picture

With all the fear and rhetoric going on about the sequestration and the impending deadline for the “across the board cuts in federal spending” to take place in less than a week, I think it is important to take everything in context and understand how we got to this point, the real numbers involved, and the implications of what this means for our government and ourselves.

2 solutions to our schools’ money problems

Claude Paquin's picture

What is most disturbing about the current reports that our Fayette school board is about to perform radical surgery on the system, through a drastic slashing of expenses and school closings, is that it is so unnecessary, and of course harmful for the community.

Where there is no vision, we learn from the Scriptures, the people perish. I am afraid we have a school board without vision, which prompts me to speak up, not so much for the benefit of the clueless voters who elect our school board members as for the benefit of the nonvoting students who have to suffer the consequences.

After the meeting, some thoughts on getting through

Samantha Frazier's picture

People change. Things change. Twenty years from now, when my kids go off to school, I’m gonna think back to Fayette Middle.

When my kids come home and need help with their homework, I’m going to use what those brilliant people taught me. My life is better since I moved to Fayetteville.

What I need to say to the citizens of Fayetteville is that if we buckle down and prepare for the oncoming storm, we will survive. There will be some damage but if we are all careful and look out for each other we can clean up good. Read More»
