Here's My Point - Online Edition. Quote of the moment. A patriot must be ready to defend his country against his government - Edward Abbey. Thursday, July 28, 2011. See, that’s my problem with non-profits. I know that since I took this little column of mine online, I have not necessarily limited myself to writing about my beloved Ashe County. I guess that since I’ve been out of the flow of county life for several weeks, I took my eye off the ball a little. The pup came right to me trying to jump into my ...

In the Name of Public Safety: A Look at Amendments 3 an 4. As we take our next steps down the twisted and abused pathway of our Bill of Rights the next two check points we encounter are the overlooked Third and oft cited but ignored Fourth Amendments. It is after all one Amendment that really has outlived its intended use, hasn’t it? And that...

Here's My Point - Online Edition. Quote of the moment. A patriot must be ready to defend his country against his government - Edward Abbey. Monday, September 12, 2011. I’m not so nostalgic about 9-11, I’m still pissed. So now that the 10th anniversary of 9-11has passed us by and the recitation of the names and rerunning of the old news footage has been packed away for another year, I think its time to take a look at what I call the downfall of my beloved America. Korea, Vietnam, even the Gulf War were al...

Here's My Point - Online Edition. Quote of the moment. A patriot must be ready to defend his country against his government - Edward Abbey. Saturday, August 6, 2011. Really, you don't smell a rat here? This past week when word surfaced that McMillan was stepping down as county manager, I wasn’t surprised in the least. I also wasn’t surprised that the commissioners were so silent about it. Without McMillan to tell them what to say, it may be some time before they find their own voice. No, I wasn’t s...

Here's My Point - Online Edition. Quote of the moment. A patriot must be ready to defend his country against his government - Edward Abbey. Wednesday, August 17, 2011. In better days, Todd Poole and Virginia Foxx speak with yours truly prior to Foxx's debate with Democrat Billy Kennedy in Oct. 2008. As I tried to drive through West Jefferson the other day I thought about my friends living in WJ and those in the occupied territories of the ETJ. This stems out of last year’s vote to stop one local ma...

Here's My Point - Online Edition. Quote of the moment. A patriot must be ready to defend his country against his government - Edward Abbey. Sunday, July 10, 2011. I Don't, Do You? Let’s talk about identification for a minute. As many of you know, during my hiatus, Governor Bev Perdue vetoed the GOP led House Bill 351 to require voters to produce a photo ID at the polling place. Did someone around me falsify their identity to vote? Maybe, but I doubt it. I have seen people turned away because they wer...

Here's My Point - Online Edition. Quote of the moment. A patriot must be ready to defend his country against his government - Edward Abbey. Tuesday, July 19, 2011. Be Quiet and Eat Your Play-Dough. When I was a kid I used to spend a lot of time chewing on window sills. At least that’s what I’m told by my parents and my older sister. Of course she used to eat potting soil, so she lets me alone about all the led based paint I ingested during my teething years. Feeling that this must be some sort of miscomm...

Here's My Point - Online Edition. Quote of the moment. A patriot must be ready to defend his country against his government - Edward Abbey. Tuesday, July 12, 2011. All Sped Up with No Place to Go. So, I’m getting ready to pull onto Jefferson Avenue in West Jefferson today and I see an approaching SUV, so I wait for it to pass. When it does I notice two things immediately; one, the vehicle is traveling well over the posted speed limit and two, it’s a police vehicle. I have to wonder what the result of suc...
