Mr. Haley,

I’m not the author of this post, though he and I talk almost daily about many of the issues you bring up.

First, Oxendine is not on OUR side. John Oxendine is JUST as dangerous to freedom and democracy as Hillary Clinton. Instead of being a socialist though, he’s a statist theocrat. While God is a key part of my life, and Jeff’s, the assaults on individual freedoms in Gods name is the issue. I hope that a potential governor of this state prays every night, because frankly I think he or she will need all the help they can get. But to base policy on such a thing? That is something I can’t get behind every.

As for a Libertarian on the “political correctness” bandwagon, you’re way off base. Political correctness has nothing to do with it. The Separation of Church and State is more like it. The Establishment clause is about no religion getting preferential treatment over another. While I am a Christian, and I think that Christian values will be required to save this nation, I vehemently disagree with the concept of the State legislating any kind of morality.

You seem to be advocating voting for the “lesser of two evils”, is that correct? If so, I assure you that the lesser of two evils is still a vote for evil, something that I will never do again. Doing so saddled us with George W. Bush for the past 8 years and Barak H Obama for the next 4 years. Instead, I urge you to put your efforts behind the candidate you feel would do the best for Georgia, be it John Oxendine or anyone else, and work towards making the one you feel will do the best job the one to actually get the job instead of telling people that they’re hurting some cause which we don’t consider ourselves part of.

Democrat, Republican, who cares. Both are responsible for the rape of the United States Constitution over the last 140 years or so. The only difference is the instrument of it’s destruction.

I was just starting my comment and it just sent itself. Frustrating. Must have hit “enter,” which should insert a paragraph. I think I was saying that, as I look around today’s political landscape, and see the likes of Obama, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Hillary, Janet N., and then look at the condition of the mainstream media, which I see as an extreme and persistent problem, I see lots of BIG targets, people who are truly dangerous to freedom and anti-American, actual enemies. The race to preserve freedom is running close and we need all the help we can get. So why expend energy and political capital criticizing our own, or politicians who are at least not enemies or even 50% OK, if we know they would join us against the really dangerous elements now ascendant? It seems republicans and conservatives love to attack each other, something liberals don’t do (so much). Second point: It seems references to God offend you. You say the politician has to represent all of us, and some of us are atheists, so there should be no reference to God? Surely atheists are a small minority, even today. Yet it seems you insist that our elected representatives represent only them? They must ignore the majority and the history of our country? Can’t they represent believers, too? Odd to find a libertarian (?) on the vastly overweight political correctness bandwagon. This country was founded by praying believers making frequent reference to God, working squarely in that product of religion called the “Judeo-Christian ethic.” Without that, there would be no USA. If you insist on remaking it without God, well, I don’t think it’s possible, and why take the awful chance? There have alays been references to God in public life in this country, and I, and the vast majority, would leave it the same. You and a minority want to change it, based on nothing but political correctness. Mention of God hurts feelings or something? That much? Well, the excisement of God from public life, a fundamental change in America, hurts and offends me. What is your basis for prevailing over me? This was my first visit to this blog, and to balance my comment I will say that the first thing I noticed was a comment by a pro-lifer about God “spewing out the lukewarm.” My main effort here is to try and get folks I see as basically on my side of the fence, in a critical contest for the future of the nation, to be more effective in that contest by “taking the edge off” where it is pretty clear that people we need to influence are going to be turned away by insistence on absolute purity of belief. I’m very anti-abortion, but and I blanched at that remark. Ineffective, hurtful to the cause. Just as I reacted to your criticism of Oxendine. And I still don’t know what to think of Oxendine.

John Oxendine should run for Agriculture Commissioner, what with all the fertilizer spewing from his mouth

Seriously, his positions are that of an intense statist, not that different from the Democrats. Wresting control of Hartsfield from Atlanta? It sets a dangerous precedent in the grand scheme of things.

Now, do I disagree with all of them? Nope. But a blind squirrel occasionally finds a nut too. It doesn’t make him an expert nut hunter.
