It is Saturday night. I am drinking my favorite rum with water. For the thirtieth time I am watching Fred and Ginger in “Swing Time” as I left TV years ago. So I thought I would get my daily dose of Red State and read this. I guess I should switch to vodka and get ahead of the curve. Having been laid off in 2004, finding other jobs and getting my job back, I might have missed something. Are we not the government? It seems they have redefined peacefull assembly into anarchy. Lawyers are pigeon holing us into an ever shrinking box. As my little puppy I found three years ago put ii to me last week, “I don’t need no stinking…

where Deliverance was filmed and all. I think the magazine Foxfire is centered there and the Georgia Mountain Fair, so there’s some grooovy people around. But I haven’t been in that part of GA in almost forty years, so maybe some of the locals can give better info.

and why leftists want to erode them. In fact for this very reason. So that any protest for any reason will have no place to peaceably assemble. Tiannamen Square anybody?

No, that’s Sumter. Must be close though…

Still scary that the lefties would be in power in a small town (pop @ 13,285) in “flyover” country.

County Commission Chairman Gerald Dunham’s statement that: ““We didn’t want to take a chance on not adhering to their advice and it having possible legal ramifications for the county” is certainly ludicrous. It certainly has legal ramifications now that the tea partiiers Constitutional rights have been violated.

Seems like we need to get a conservative equivalent of the ACLU started.

We should demand an environmental impact statement for anywhere they intend to build it. It will be delayed for decades.

I have asked before and no one seems to have an answer where the concentration camps will be constructed? These will be the places where Conservative Democrats, Republicans and other factions will be housed for disagreeing with Liberals at any level of government. Now that the Secretary of Home Land Security has branded these people terrorists, they will have to be housed somewhere. The Tea Party people in Georgia are just lucky that there was no place to house them even though they were within what used to be their rights as American citizens. I am waiting for directives from the Administration as to who the chosen ones will be. I know I will not be one of them, so I guess it is time to get my home in order before I am forced to leave. Being a veteran, at least I know I will have a lot of company even if I have no rights. Sad reward for fighting for my country, isn’t it?

I know it’s a bit of a thread jack, but same general part of the country, so figured I’d ask my question in this thread.

Who is Rep. Gresham Barrett and why did the folks in South Carolina boo him at last week’s Tea Party? I don’t follow SC politics, so this Congresscritter is an unknown to me.
