Recent Articles by Gordon SawyerThe heated debate about whether or not a Moslem Mosque should be built at Ground Zero in New York led me to search and find an old book by one Robert William Fogel, a Nobel Prize winner in economics... If I remember correctly, President Obama said there would be no tax increases for people earning less than $250,000 a year. I am amused with the mainstream media people who keep trying to figure out the “Tea Party” people. Any business manager who expects to give his or her people a raise, or create new jobs, has to believe the company will make a higher profit than it is making right now... I am amused with the mainstream media people who keep trying to figure out the “Tea Party” people. Not only am I aggravated with our president, and his intellectual elites in power in Washington, I am also embarrassed. The other day I was talking about that ad in the New York Times entitled “Rethinking Christianity” which challenged people to “explore progressive Christian faith and practices”, and I was asked: “Where have you been? It is hard to describe the feeling I had when I learned President Obama did not lay the wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on Memorial Day. It was not anger.

Are we going to stand up for our right to make money, and the freedom to spend it as we choose? I was listening to President Obama the other day listing all the things he is going to do for us as president, and how he would pay for it by raising taxes on those who make more than $1-million a year. You have heard it before: if you do not know history, you are doomed to repeat it. There’s a white-columned home up in middle Tennessee called “rattle and snap”, and history says it got that name because the original owner got in a crap game one night and got very deep in debt to another man. It was a conversation between a Georgia business guy and another Georgian who has been active in giving financial support to Republican candidates for years.
