No, Erick Erickson, We Will NOT Live In Fear

By Jeff, on February 21st, 2010%

Fear. It has been the tool of the Big Government Party – particularly its “Republican” wing – for quite a while.

The entire Big Government Party uses it to subdue and subject the American people with great effect. The Democrat half tells us we should fear Republicans because they will throw our sick and infirm out on the street in a blizzard. The Republicans tell us we should fear Democrats because they will allow America’s enemies to destroy it.

Indeed, Georgia’s own Erick Erickson is one chief fearmonger (and warmonger) here. It is typified in his latest post on RedState, where he states

Lee County School Board Selects New School Site

By Jeff, on February 21st, 2010%

At its Feb 8 meeting (which happens at 5pm, making it impossible for most working parents/community members to attend), the Lee County School Board approved the purchase of land for a new school – once again, inside the city limits of Leesburg. With this purchase, the record of having every single school in the Lee County School System inside Leesburg continues – for a total of 9 campus locations, counting the new purchase.

This school will be placed at the already-stressed intersection of Robert B Lee Rd and Lovers Lane, right along the new truck route that is being established. (You can see both a county view and a city view of all school locations at the end of this post)

The City of Leesburg already bears the burden of having every current school in the system within our limits, and our infrastructure is already pushed beyond its breaking point in part because of this burden. Furthermore, every acre used for a school within the city limits is an acre that cannot be used for residential, commercial, or recreational purposes. At least two of those three things are features which the City of Leesburg needs more of (much more, in the case of commercial).

Gerry Purcell Coming to Albany Tomorrow Night

By Jeff, on February 21st, 2010%

Gerry Purcell, a GOP candidate for Insurance Commissioner, will be at Sunset Grill in the Albany Mall at 6:30 tomorrow night.

Yes, I know this is an extremely short post, but I wanted to get that information out to you. Look for more detailed posts on other subjects (Lee County School System, Lee County Board of Commissioners, area General Assembly members’ fundraising to date, and a new State School Superintendent candidate) later today and tomorrow morning. For now, I’m off to lunch with my wife and inlaws.

I leave you with the video of Gerry speaking exclusively to SWGAPolitics.com last November at the Tifton Gubernatorial Forum:

As always, if you know of a statewide candidate coming to the area, please let me know and I’ll do what I can to alert the public via this site and social media.
