With it being political season the Chairman of the board of Commissioners, BJ Mathis, gave a State of the County speech which was no more than a 24 minute feel good about last year address. Mathis missed an opening to tell us what the plans were for moving Henry out of its current economic despair while bring job opportunities to the county. Too much effort on what has past and nothing on what will be done in the future is the theme of this sermon. Mathis tell us no one is an expert on the future, maybe it is why she left out what the BOC is going to do in 2012. Read the entire article.
Mitt Romney, as well all know, is not and never has been a Tea Party or small government conservative; indeed, his signature achievement in his one term in public office was passing a Ted Kennedy-backed universal health care plan that moved the most Democratic state in the nation to the left on healthcare and laid the groundwork for Obamacare.

Mr. Charles Mobley has written a great piece about the Henry County BoC not funding economic development but actually continuing to shrink the budget to help promote it. They are keeping the citizens within a capsule insulated from what is actually happening and what they are told. Read his article entitled, "Where is Albert Einstein?" In Henry County, GA the Board of Commissioners (BOC) have yet to give a high priority to bringing job opportunity to the county. The 2011-2012 adopted budget exemplifies the priority of the current administration and all the board members. Keeping tax payers happy with Culture and Recreation and keep them informed with great communications is more of a priority than economic growth.

Henry County Board of Commissioners just published its COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT (CAFR) for FY2011 which ended June 30, 2011. This coincides with Commission Chairman B.J. Mathis State of the County Address made available via video today (PART 1 and PART 2). Regardless of the rosy spin she tries to put on things, its clear from this report that our elected officials have a serious spending problem thats been going on for a very long time. Read the entire revealing article!

Allen West Weighs in Unless Youve Been Shot at by the Taliban Shut Your Mouth, War Is Hell
Rep. Allen West (R-FL), a former Army lieutenant colonel, sent The Weekly Standard an email commenting on a recent video depicting what appears to be four U.S. Marines urinating on the corpses of Taliban terrorists. The email reads as follows [emphases added]: I have sat back and assessed the incident with the video of our Marines urinating on Taliban corpses. I do not recall any self-righteous indignation when our Delta snipers Shugart and Gordon had their bodies dragged through Mogadishu. Neither do I recall media outrage and condemnation of our Blackwater security contractors being killed, their bodies burned, and hung from a bridge in Fallujah. All these over-emotional pundits and armchair quarterbacks need to chill. Does anyone remember the two Soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division who were beheaded and gutted in Iraq? The Marines were wrong. Give them a maximum punishment under field grade level Article 15 (non-judicial punishment), place a General Officer level letter of reprimand in their personnel file, and have them in full dress uniform stand before their Battalion, each personally apologize to God, Country, and Corps videotaped and conclude by singing the full US Marine Corps Hymn without a teleprompter. As for everyone else, unless you have been shot at by the Taliban, shut your mouth, war is hell. Rep. West, who served in both Operation Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom, wrote the email in response to how some U.S. politicians and media pundits have reacted to the Marines video. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, for example, has strongly condemned the actions depicted in the video. Anyone, anyone found to have participated or know about it, having engaged in such conduct, must be held fully accountable, Hillary Clinton said yesterday, calling the incident a potential war crime. The four men in the video were members of a sniper team in a unit that lost seven members in action last summer in Afghanistan

I am for a government rigorously frugal & simple, applying all the possible savings of the public revenue to the discharge of the national debt; and not for a multiplication of offices & salaries merely to make partisans, & for increasing, by every device, the public debt, on the principle of its being a public blessing. - Thomas Jefferson, letter to Elbridge Gerry, January 26, 1799
Michael Reagan endorses Newt -- No question who is the Reagan Republican candidate!
The 2012 presidential election may be the most crucial in America's history, Michael Reagan says. Michael hosts the Newsmax 2012 Election Special.
In this riveting program, Michael also reveals why Newsmax believes Newt Gingrich of all the GOP candidates is the best to continue "the Reagan legacy." As Iowa heads to its caucus vote and the New Hampshire primary nears, Michael talks about the remarkable life Newt Gingrich has led an "American life," he says, having come from humble roots and rising to become speaker of the House, the third-highest elected official in our land. Michael also discusses Newt Gingrich's remarkable legislative record cutting taxes, restraining federal spending and abolishing welfare. Newt led Congress to four balanced budgets and helped start an economic boom that created 11 million new jobs.
In a special sit-down with Newsmax, you will also hear Newt's take on: Reversing the Obama agenda and jump-starting the economy His new low flat-tax plan His "get tough" border and illegal-alien policies Why he believes Iran poses a great threat to the U.S. His plan to protect our nation's Judeo-Christian heritage What he really thinks about Mitt Romney and Ron Paul And what Newt will say in his final debate with Barack Obama. There much, much more in this Newsmax Special with Michael Reagan. Sit back, relax and enjoy this program then share it with friends and family!
establishment from trying to force down our throat another moderate who is supposed to be able to win in swing states. One of the most important swing states in the presidential contest is Florida, with 29 Electoral College votes. Did the Sunshine State just elect a moderate or a proud conservative to the U.S. Senate? The answer is they elected one of the nations most popular political figures, conservative Marco Rubio, who is on everyones short list for vice president. Despite the desperate warnings of possibly losing a Republican seat in the Senate, Rubio surged in the polls because of his commitment to a fiscally conservative message. The Crist candidacy eventually crumbled. Moderate Republicans are lamenting that a Rick Santorum nomination will ensure Obamas re-election. They should remember they said the same thing about Ronald Reagan in his race against George H.W. Bush, said pollster David Johnson of Strategic Vision. In many ways, MITT ROMNEY is a Crist clone. He is handsome, a career politician always looking for the next office to run for, who has undergone a transformation from a liberal Republican to a moderate to a Jeb Bush conservative back to a moderate. Like Crist, Romney also shares a flaw of embracing an Obama initiative. While Crist was a strong advocate for the wasteful stimulus bill, Romneys health care plan, whether or not he admits it, served as the model for Obamacare. Santorum should follow the same formula as Rubio by taking Mitt to task on Romneycare, which is a more deadly GOP sin, rather than attacking fellow conservatives. Consultants are obviously advising that Rick Perry and Newt Gingrich are cutting into his votes, but they are missing the point that conservative voters are looking for a leader who can take on Romney and then Obama.
