Looking
back, looking ahead in Fayette
By

Well, has the sky
fallen on Peachtree City with the messy divorce of the Development Authority
and its venues? Well, no, and no such celestial calamities are likely
to befall the fair city of the West in the year ahead.
President’s
tax cut plan worked
By DYLAN
GLENN
8th District Congressional candidate
During this holiday
season and on the eve an election year, it seems appropriate to take
stock of the state of affairs in America, particularly as they relate
to the economy. To that end, it is incumbent upon those still doubting
the country is in the midst of an economic recovery, to understand some
basic facts.
Insanity
defense has no place in a free society
By SHELDON

Senior FellowFuture of Freedom Foundation
John W. Hinckley
Jr., who in 1982 was acquitted by reason of insanity in his attempt
to assassinate President Ronald Reagan, has been granted court permission
to have unsupervised visits with his parents. Hinckley has been held
in St. Elizabeth’s Mental Hospital in Washington, D.C., for more
than 20 years. He’d been previously granted only supervised visits.
- LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
Attacks
nothing but judgeship politics
Wow! For several
weeks now I have sat by and read several letters to the editor concerning
my use, as Fayette’s solicitor general, of a county car. As a
servant of the people, I owe it to them and to myself to evaluate
such criticisms as to whether or not they are legitimate.
Harris’s
prosecutions motivated by politics?
The Georgia Constitution
creates power that is supposed to “Perpetuate the principles of
free government, insure justice to all, preserve peace, promote the
interest and happiness of the citizen and family, and transmit to posterity
the enjoyment of liberty.” That is a paraphrase of the preamble
to the Georgia constitution.
Courts
trample 1st Amendment
In response to Steve
Stewman’s letter, I would like to add something I recently read
concerning the First Amendment, and the Constitution as a whole.

Pro-Bush
letter was ‘cheap-shot’ setup
The world is full
of cheap-shot artists, so I needn’t have been surprised by Mr.
Beverly’s little stunt last week. Nonetheless, I was a little taken
aback at its crudeness, and obviously amateur nature. He posted two
letters under the title: “Iraq: 2 very different points of view.”
One letter was from myself.
‘Croc
Hunter’ thoughts
I have again been
amazed by the situations about which some people become so seriously
annoyed. Today the news commentators have been outraged by the situation
with Steve Irwin (the Crocodile Hunter). He is being criticized for
holding his month-old son, Bob, while feeding a 13-foot crocodile. His
behavior has even been called child abuse by some.
Marines:
Thanks for tots’ toys
The United States
Marine Corps Reserve would like to thank the generous citizens of Fayette
County and neighboring areas for participating in the Toys for Tots
Program this holiday season.
Unneeded
info on bar brawl
I thought it was
unnecessary coverage in your story on the bar brawl in Peachtree City
to mention that the owner was an unsuccessful candidate for a political
race in PTC.
Gay
marriage column: Thanks
Dr. Moffatt, you
are probably going to get a lot of negative feedback from the liberals
about your article on same-sex marriage (Dec. 31), so I felt you needed
to hear from someone who agreed with what you said.
