Erick over at Peach Pundit is asking for our opinions on some signs he made for a possible Macon City Council run. Well, Erick, the signs are pretty good...but don't you have some explaining to do? I am referring to this little gem that you posted on [...]
In the aftermath of the 2006 Congressional Election, many libertarian-leaning Republicans, like myself, had to do some soul searching. While I voted straight-ticket Republican, with the exception of David Chastain, I will admit that I did almost nothing to help Republicans win. If you search the site for entries prior [...]
But this issue is going to cause the long overdue national discussion on gun control. We might as well start that discussion here on JasonPye.com.
How can one lone gunman gun down 50 people before he's brought under control or killed? What does it say about our nation when one man [...]
As I told Senator Douglas in an e-mail last night, I wrote a letter to Wayne LaPierre and Chris Cox (Chief Lobbyist) of the National Rifle Association, asking them to cancel my Life Membership and remove my name from all mailing lists. Here is a copy of the letter:
Mr. [...]
“Save Fannin!” is the rallying cry of a popular MySpace page dedicated to preserving the land, heritage, and standard of living of Fannin County, Georgia. Though the site’s creator remains anonymous, he/she/or it has been quite successful in bringing our County’s most important debate to the forefront of the [...]
How did we miss this? Apparently, tapping your phone without a warrant wasn't enough. Now the White House wants to go through your mail too--without a warrant.
President Bush has quietly claimed sweeping new powers to open Americans' mail without a judge's warrant, the Daily News has learned.
The President asserted [...]
I realize that I’m a bit late with this article, but the last few weeks have been hard to come to terms with. Like every other American, I witnessed the crushing defeat of one big-government party at the hands of another big-government party, so, I had to come to grips [...]
I realize I haven’t posted in a while. And I hate for my first post back to be a flat out bitch session, but I need to get this out of my system. Today, I had a run-in with the dumbest law ever to be put on the books. Yes, [...]
I voted early today at the Fannin County Courthouse. Here’s how it went:
Governor–Sonny Perdue (R)
Despite my many, well-documented grievances with Sonny Perdue, I still voted for the man. No, he’s not exactly Mr. Conservative…okay, he’s still got a lot of work to do before he can even be called [...]
From the New York Times:
“Russia surpassed the United States in 2005 as the leader in weapons deals with the developing world, and its new agreements included selling $700 million in surface-to-air missiles to Iran and eight new aerial refueling tankers to China, according to a new Congressional study…The Russian [...]
Todd Haskins over at The Blue State had done a nice job of summarizing the Democratic Party's agenda should they gain control of at least one house of Congress. While Mr. Haskins is obviously proud of this "platform", the rest of us should be concerned. You can read [...]
The Cato Institute has released it's Fiscal Policy Report Card on America's Governors. You can view the individual scores here.

Here [...]
Redstate has a good article up about some not-so-supportive liberals who have taken their hatred for the President and their propensity for pacifism too far.
First, I’ll introduce you to an open letter to Senator Carl Levin. The letter was written by Jerry Hammond. Hammond is a self described [...]
The Democratic party sure as hell stands up for working people, the disabled, the elderly, and the young far more than the GOP or the Libertarians. --TBone from Peach Pundit
This is one thing that keeps coming up year after year, yet remains as untrue as it was the first time [...]
Let's remember that Governor Perdue appointed Judge Harry Doss to the bench for a reason. Judge Doss's opponent was up for the appointment, but did not recieve it. Now he's out there publicly whining and moaning that Judge Doss only recieved the Governor's appointment because he is a "political crony". I'm [...]

Bill Frist: That’s Why We Need to Ban Online Gambling!
The battle for economic liberty is tough. It gets even tougher when there are traitors within our own ranks. But, we shouldn’t be surprised that Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist would fight to get an anti-economic liberty bill passed. Moreover, we [...]
