Time to raise the blinds

By Jim Wooten | Friday, March 9, 2007, 09:56 PM

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

When he was a nobody under the Gold Dome, State Rep. Austin Scott (R-Tifton) discovered what Republicans as a minority had long experienced: Asking for information — and actually getting it — are entirely different.

Even as an elected official with access to Georgia’s attorney general, Scott found himself an outsider with no more success in getting public information from Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital in Albany and Tift Regional Medical Center in Tifton than might a high school student pursuing a class project.

Scott’s experiences are not unique. Legislators’ inability to get information to which they are legally entitled — and which, indeed, is essential to their role as the people’s elected representatives — is a persistent problem, even for those now in key budgeting and oversight positions.

If not for her persistence through the summer of 2005, state Rep. Jill Chambers (R-Atlanta) would have found her MARTA legislative oversight committee rendered largely ceremonial by the unwillingness or inability of MARTA officials to answer her questions about its budget.

Other legislators, too, including committee chairmen, complain bitterly that they are unable to get information to which they are legally entitled about salaries, benefits, accounts, program allocations and other expenditures of public money.

State Rep. Burke Day (R-Tybee Island), who is chairman of the committee on Public Safety and Homeland Security, distributed to House members in January a copy of a letter he had received from a department head. It came in response to a request for information on the salaries of rangers in the Department of Natural Resources. Wrote DNR Commissioner Noel Holcomb on Dec. 18:

“I am working closely with Governor’s office regarding pay and recruitment and retention for our law enforcement officers, and have already submitted DNR’s budget to the Board and they have approved it.

“Having just met recently with the Governor regarding DNR’s budget, I feel at this time that I am unable to respond to your request for information on the above subject.”

To which Day responded, just as any citizen denied a public record by an ornery counter clerk, “What!!?”

In his comments on the copy distributed to fellow House members, Day wrote: “House Study Committee [on State Law Enforcement Salaries and Benefits] DENIED access to the truth.” And, he wrote elsewhere on the letter from Holcomb: “This is one reason we need to pass Jill Chambers’ H.B. 91,” a bill that would require state departments and agencies to give the Legislature a yearly statement on revenues and spending, a list of contracts valued at more than $50,000, names of conractors and suppliers paid more than $20,000, a list of payments to employees, board members, consultants and other providers of professional services.

Given those experiences, it’s hard to imagine that the wandering souls who come in from the forest to the Big House would ever intentionally make it difficult for the rest of us to access public records or meetings. You can’t have faced an arbitrary denial of records and information — whether you’re an ordinary citizen, a member of an ignored minority in the Legislature or a legislator entrusted with a position of oversight power and responsibility— and not feel “What!!?”

The lesson should never be lost on this new majority under the Gold Dome. The accountable government that conservatives hope to create must also be a transparent government; openness and access are fundamental.

In a conversation recently with Joseph B. Doyle, who directs the Governor’s Office of Customer Service, we talked about a couple of ambitious efforts to make government more responsive. The conversation covered efforts to improve child support services, to give same-day service to a parent, usually the mother, who comes into a Department of Family and Children’s Services office trying to get the court to enforce child support payments. It’s a process that ordinarily takes four months. By handling it same day, as opposed to scheduling a return visit according to a specific caseworker’s availability, process time for enforcement in pilots is reduced to 30 days. The effort is expected to go statewide next month.

An effort aimed at reducing the time Georgians sit on hold when their calls pass through 27 call centers has achieved an average reduction of 3 minutes per call, saving callers 500,000 hours per year. What’s more, 600,000 more calls are being answered. It’s good news, certainly, but the real question is how to continue gaining efficiency and improving service when this governor goes away or attention is directed elsewhere.

Doyle’s response? Gather and report information on response times, dropped calls and misdirected calls and make that information easily available and therefore transparent. The best way to police government to determine whether efficiencies last is to empower Georgians with information. Otherwise, efficiencies are at risk of being flash-in-the-pan.

The same is true of education reforms that are being proposed, including school choice. It’s true, too, of the effort to help consumers become more responsible users and wiser purchasers of health care. The essence of all is to gather information, organize it and make it available — and then count on Georgians to use information to drive reform.

Republicans should never for a minute allow themselves to become a governing party that imposes or tolerates closed government. Information, and more importantly the access to it, is at the core of most everything conservatives want: Greater accountability, a smaller and more efficient government that enhances and promotes personal responsbility. Government in the sunshine should be a given.

Blacks “Gored” By a Lie: Al Gore Sr., the GOP and the Civil Rights Act of 1964

By R.D. Davis

A New Visions Commentary paper published May 1999 by The National Center for Public Policy Research. Reprints permitted provided source is credited.

It is easy to control the minds of a people. All one has to do is change history by lying about the past. This is exactly what has happened with the legacy of former Democratic U.S. Senator Al Gore, Sr. of Tennessee - the father of our current vice president - and his mythical “support” of civil rights.

In a recent speech to the NAACP, Vice President Gore said his father lost his Senate seat because he supported civil rights legislation. Fellow black Americans, let me set history straight. Al Gore, Sr., together with the rest of the southern Democrats, voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Congressional Quarterly reported that, in the House of Representatives, 61% of Democrats (152 for, 96 against) voted for the Civil Rights Act as opposed to 80% of Republicans (138 for, 38 against). In the Senate, 69% of Democrats (46 for, 21 against) voted for the Act while 82% of Republicans did (27 for, 6 against). All southern Democrats voted against the Act.

In his remarks upon signing the Civil Rights Act, President Lyndon Johnson praised Republicans for their “overwhelming majority.” He did not offer similar praise to his own Democratic Party. Moreover, Senate Minority Leader Everett Dirksen, an Illinois Republican, collaborated with the White House and the Senate leadership of both parties to draft acceptable compromise amendments to end the southern Democrats’ filibuster of the Act. It was Dirksen who often took to the Senate floor to declare, “This is an idea whose time has come. It will not be denied.” Dirksen’s greatest triumph earned him the Leadership Conference of Civil Rights Award, presented by then-NAACP Chairman Roy Wilkins, for his remarkable civil rights leadership.

Inform yourself, so you can learn for yourself about this important historical event. All official records about the Civil Rights Act can be found in the June 1964 issues of Congressional Quarterly.

Al Gore, Sr. did not stop at simply voting against the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In addition, Congressional Quarterly reported that Gore attempted to send the Act to the Senate Judiciary Committee with an amendment to say “in defiance of a court desegregation order, federal funds could not be held from any school districts.” Gore sought to take the teeth out of the Act in the event it passed.

Ostensibly, Senator Gore was “elated” at the idea of young Al, Jr. going to school with black children. In reality, however, the future vice president attended an elite private school.

In the end, the Gore Amendment was defeated by a vote of 74-25. Senator J. William Fulbright of Arkansas, one of President Bill Clinton’s political mentors, was among the 23 southern Democratic senators and only one Republican voting with Gore for this racist amendment.

Republican Senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona voted against the Civil Rights Act because he was afraid the nation would be transformed into a “police state” as a result of some of its provisions. He did not want to throw out the proverbial “baby with the bath water.” History, of course, labeled Goldwater a racist even though he voted against the Gore Amendment - an amendment devised to continue school segregation. If anyone in the Senate should be tagged as a racist, it should be those voting for the Gore Amendment. Why didn’t history record Al Gore, Sr. and the other southern Democrats as racists?

At least civil rights activist Andrew Young was forthcoming about this oversight in his book An Easy Burden. Young wrote, “The southern segregationists were all Democrats, and it was black Republicans… who could effectively influence the appointment of federal judges in the South.” Young noted that the best civil rights judges were Republicans appointed by President Dwight Eisenhower. Young admitted, “These judges are among the many unsung heroes of the civil rights movement.”

History tends to unilaterally and falsely depict Republicans as racists when southern Democrats truly deserved this title. We now have southern Democrats as both President and Vice President. That would never be the case without the power of the lie and the liberal news media to alter people’s impressions.

Lies can enslave men, but the truth shall set them free. I challenge you, the reader, to take the time to research the facts about our past in publications like Congressional Quarterly and An Easy Burden. Once you educate yourself, you can no longer be deceived by the fabulists. No longer will you be “gored” by a lie.

Jim,

This liberal completely agrees with you — although in the quote above, I’d replace the word “is” with “should be”. In fact, the Bush administration continues to be the most secretive administration in memory and Congressional Republicans continue to be complicit. If only they would live up to the conservative ideals that you and I share.

See this February 27, 2007 article entitled “Bush Administration Freedom of Information Act Report Card Hits New Low”:

At the State level, I support Representative Chambers’ H.B. 91. It sounds like a step in the right direction. I’m also impressed with what you’ve reported about Joseph Doyle at the Governor’s Office of Customer Service.

11. For distinguished editorial writing, the test of excellence being clearness of style, moral purpose, sound reasoning, and power to influence public opinion in what the writer conceives to be the right direction, in print or in print and online.- Pulitzer prize guidelines

So sayeth Queen Pinko:

It’s too bad I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby is likely to be the only Bush-Cheney confidant prosecuted for an aversion to the truth. There are plenty of unindicted liars walking the halls of the Bush White House.

Not a week goes by without a leader in the Bush administration uttering a sentence or two that stretch credibility to the breaking point. Clearly, though, the most outrageous fabrications and most scurrilous falsehoods of the past six years were told in defense of the decision to invade Iraq.

They were willing to do whatever it took to discredit Plame’s husband, former ambassador Joseph Wilson, because he called them on 16 words in a presidential speech. As Vice President Dick Cheney’s chief of staff, Libby was a central player in the smear campaign.

You’d think they’d been tried and convicted right, this must be what the Pulitzer board means by power to influence public opinion.

There is something deliciously ironic about Cynthia Tucker calling other people liars. Let’s just check and see what side she speaks for:

1.) Wilson Insisted That The Vice President’s Office Sent Him To Niger:

False

2.) Wilson Claimed The Vice President And Other Senior White House Officials Were Briefed On His Niger Report:

False

3.) Wilson Has Claimed His Niger Report Was Conclusive And Significant

False- The Report On The Former Ambassador’s Trip To Niger, Disseminated In March 2002, Did Not Change Any Analysts’ Assessments Of The Iraq-Niger Uranium Deal.”

4.) Wilson Denied His Wife Suggested He Travel To Niger In 2002:

False

5.) Wilson Has Claimed His 1999 Trip To Niger Was Not Suggested By His Wife:

False

6.) Wilson Claimed He Was A Victim Of A Partisan Smear Campaign

As far as Chambliss and Perdue are concerned, they were Democrats and Perdue was not pro-civil rights. Perdue, by the way, is the same guy who campaigned in 2002 by saying that he would return the confederate symbol to the Georgia flag.

Of course, there’s Thurmond, Lott, Gramm and many many others.

Apparently Wooten Dull intendends to impress us with the verbage that is wearing out his hand typing.

But the fact is, that not all of the “Senate Intelligence Report” Dull cites has been released. In fact, Sen. Roberts of Kansas, along with other Republican help including our own Saxby Chamblis, has done his damndest to stall the release of the report and even tried to trash it as unimportant and calling it an “old story” even as he refused to complete the report.

Fortunately, although still a member, Sen. Roberts is no longer chairman of that committee.

The Bush administration, looking for any way possible to attack Iraq, pushed the sayings of Ahmed Chalabi (with ambitions to be the head of Iraq(?)) whose reliability for truth has been a yoyo and exposed as such.

Americans are still waiting for the release of part two of the report Dull cites. And in no way does part one clearly vindicate the Bush administrations lies.

Carrie - please name one time that Perdue did anything that was anti-civil rights in his State Senate career? He offered a vote on the flag and when that came, the old Confederate Battle Flag was not on the ballot. He caught a lot of grief for that one. Chambliss was never a Democrat. Lott worked for one, but he never held office as one.

Yes, famously, Thurmond was a Democrat who turned Republican. He was also the first southern Senator to hire a black staffer. That includes DumGore’s daddy.

Yes, many southern Republicans at one time were Democrats, but long after the civil rights movement the racists were still in the Democrat party - they include Lester Maddox, George Wallace, Robert Byrd (still there), William Fulbright, James Eastland and John C. Stennis and the man who hung the Confederate Battle Flag on the State House grounds in Columbia, SC, Fritz Hollings.

The southern Congressman who voted for the Fair Housing Act of 1968 despite the political price he might have had to pay was George H.W. Bush. Lloyd Bentsen beat him in the 1964 U.S. Senate race largely on his “soft” position on civil rights (he was too pro-civil rights).

The facts are clear. You do not want to acknowledge them because you have all of these preconceived notions about conservatives. You were brainwashed by agenda-driven socialist-studies teachers in high school and outright Marxists in college. I had enough sense to do my own research.

I will also remind you that the most racist administration of the 20th century was that of Woodrow Wilson, but I still hear him lionized by liberals in macadamia on an almost daily basis. They always neglect to bring up that reprehensible part of his record. They also fail to acknowledge that Republicans were the ones who passed the 19th amendment as well as the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments.

We as a party have a long history of supporting civil rights. Your record as a party is as spotty as a Dalmatian.

You’ve got to love Dem on liberal verbal violence when it comes to Iraq.

“How, if you don’t have the votes?” Obey roared in response. “That bill ends the war! If that isn’t good enough for you, you’re smoking something illegal. You’ve got your facts screwed up.”

Huh? A liberal with screwed up “facts?” NOOOOOOO!!!!

Ron Divine - All of Perdue’s deals were legal and above board. I would think that a big Clinton supporter would like deals like that, after all Billery made that great deal in Arkansas! You always like to bring up red herrings when you lose. It is an old broken vinyl record that plays the same line over and over and over again. Let me name some Democrats with less than honorable pasts - anybody named Kennedy, John Edwards, William Jefferson, Bill Campbell, Webster Hubbel, Mike Espy, Jim Guy Tucker, any and all Chicago politicians and any and all Boston politicians.

I will also remind you that when Republicans find a crook (Rep. Ney of Ohio) they force them to give up their nominations and throw them to the wolves as they should. Barry Goldwater and Senate Minority Leader Scott actually went to Nixon and demanded his resignation. The Democrats just circle the wagons.

You’re reply to this will be a bunch of invective and b.c., and you will likely say they all do it, but at least Teddy cares, even though he murdered a young woman. The fact is, there is no excuse. We expelled Mark Foley - ya’ll permoted Garry Studds and Barney Franks. Shame, shame, shame.

Above board? A tax break only his friend O’Neal and his accountant knew about? Do you still believe in the tooth fairy, too?

Also, it has not been determined that Perdoo’s actions were legal, either. We’ll see what the feds have to say about paying that much money for virtually worthless property.

And if nothing else, what he did and his accomplices did smells to high heaven, which ethical men would avoid.

As to your assumptions, they’re completely wrong. I am a Georgia Republican who believes Perdoo is a corrupt buffoon. I also believe Billary should have gone to jail.

Well, they did mention global demand being up. Kudos. What they didn’t mention is that refineries are already running at capacity. Now why would they be running at capacity already you say? Is that why they mentioned gas already being at $3/gallon in California?

Um, well, sort of. What they also didn’t tell you was that refineries are at capacity making the dozens of different spring/summer formulations for different regions of the nation, especially for those stringent emissions in California.

Just trying it again, I guess I need to fill my comments with profane descriptions of sex acts, then Wooten will let them post-

By Dennis March 10, 2007 10:43 AM Apparently Wooten Dull intendends to impress us with the verbage that is wearing out his hand typing.

Actually, it was cataloguing all of Joe Wilson’s lies that was wearing my arm out. There’s a bunch of them.

But if you want to focus on the legitimacy of the “16 words,” I’m game:

The report indicated that there was enough intelligence to make a “well-founded” judgment that Saddam Hussein was seeking, perhaps as late as 2002, to obtain uranium illegally from Niger and the Democratic Republic of Congo (6.4 para. 499). In particular, referring to a 1999 visit of Iraqi officials to Niger, the report states (6.4 para. 503): “The British government had intelligence from several different sources indicating that this visit was for the purpose of acquiring uranium. Since uranium constitutes almost three-quarters of Niger’s exports, the intelligence was credible.”- Butler Review

Fact

Wilson’s assertions — both about what he found in Niger and what the Bush administration did with the information — were undermined yesterday in a bipartisan Senate intelligence committee report. The panel found that Wilson’s report, rather than debunking intelligence about purported uranium sales to Iraq, as he has said, bolstered the case for most intelligence analysts. And contrary to Wilson’s assertions and even the government’s previous statements, the CIA did not tell the White House it had qualms about the reliability of the Africa intelligence that made its way into 16 fateful words in President Bush’s January 2003 State of the Union address.-WashingtonPost

Fact

There is OVERWHELMING evidence that Joe and Valerie Plame tried to undermine the Bush Administrations case for war against Iraq, which can also be called “providing aid and comfort to the enemy.”

Why don’t you pinkos want to talk about that?

Now Pelosivich lifted C-SPAN coverage to promote RATs on her blog, a clear violation of copyright policy. C-SPAN of course decided to change it’s copyright policies after it became known. Now, would that have happened to a Republican? All together now: not only no, but HELL NO!

Like it or not, admit it or not, Valerie Plame did not have the “authority” to send her husband anywhere in the name of the CIA. She was approached by her boss to ask if her husband, who had connections in Niger, if he might be interested in going to look into the matter of the “yellow cake”.

Wilson’s report to the CIA raised strong doubt over the story of the “yellow cake” and that information was passed up to the White House. The White House, in its rentless pursuit for reasons to attack Iraq, chose to ignore that information.

Sen. Roberts knows that and has done everything he can to protect Bush. Otherwise, Roberts would have no reason to have withheld and attempting to bury the report if it would, indeed, support Bush’s story.

One things for certain, this time the report has not been withheld for “national security” reasons. Therefore it can only be concluded that Bush lied.

And neither Wilson or Plame were the ones who asked for an investigation into her being exposed as a CIA agent.

You don’t have to be a blind conservative not to see it, just an ignorant one to deny it.

getalife,

Are you one to espouse our need to recognize Islam as a “Religion of Peace” due to the large number of peace-loving Muslims who are branded by the acts of a few radicals? That seems to be the philosophy of most of the Left on this blog.

If so, are you then stating, by your link and comment above, that the only people who should be in military service are conservatives? The brave men and women of our military, both liberal and conservative, deserve our support and respect. The call to a life in the military is a long, proud tradition in many families in the United States and all of us in America owe them a debt of gratitude.

The President chose to fight the war on terror in Afghanistan and Iraq. We owe those at the World Trade Centers on 9/11, the Marines in Beirut in the 1980’s, the sailors of the USS Cole, our embassy employees throughout the world and everyone who has suffered at the hands of the terrorists, the unrelenting effort of this country to end terrorism in the world.

The US effort in Iraq and Afghanistan is supported by moderate Muslims in both countries and also by those in surrounding countries in the Middle East.

So, if you wish to promote the “Religion of Peace” then you should also support the US effort to give the moderates an opportunity to govern. If not, then you are simply making a lot of noise in an attempt to undermine the administration and throwing the moderate Muslims to the Fanatical Wolves of Islam.

It is insane to allow his group in Pakistan and not secure our country for another attack. It does not help when they out a undercover CIA operative because these are the folks that can stop the next attack. The CIA is losing in Iraq to the Iranian intelligence.

Gee,

Both Clintons commit perjury,

Plame was/is a nobody just like her husband (she is testifying before, not for, Congress,

Two Dem Mass. Senators (one a murderer and the other a serial liar),

Latin Americans protest - they always have,

Iraq disaster - not good I admit but living in a US city like Detroit is almost as dangerous,

Clinton sold the technology to China for their military buildup in exchange for campaign contributions and our trade deficit has been building for decades, also unabated by Democrats,

Russian communists have killed critics since 1917 (Remember the Czar and family?) and Russia was making billions of dollars off the oil for food scandal so why would they support the action in Iraq?

And both the Dems and Reps proudly trumpet the North American Union.

Was Clinton’s justice department handling of the Branch Davidians in Waco not scandalous enough for you?

How about the Clintonistas like Lanny Davis going on every talk show and branding Monica Lewinsky as a “star-struck strumpet” who never had a relationship with Bill until the BLUE DRESS appeared? Then Lanny and his miserable little crew of Hilla-liars suddenly disappeared. Circle, circle, circle, circle the wagons but never, ever run the reprobates like Kennedy, Murtha, Jefferson and Frank out of town like the Republicans did with Cunningham, Foley and the others.

Double standard indeed!

None of the Democrats I cited has ever recanted their comments from the 1990’s to my knowledge. All they have ever said is they made a mistake “in voting for the war” and that is just their way of trying to cover their assets after the fact. No different for the Republicans either.

Why should Georgia apologize for slavery? No one in Georgia today had anything to do with slavery. That is just more liberal claptrap. Keep the racial issue stirred and polarize the people - that is the only Democrat strategy for Election Day.

The race w******* like Jackson and Sharpton, as well as a few lesser knowns in Georgia, are only relevant if they keep the fires burning, and Obama may be making them as irrelevant as this demand for an apology.

OK, tell you what. I apologize for all native and non-native Georgians for the fact that slaves were held in Georgia for about 80-90 years. Of course, that was now over 140 YEARS AGO, but if this will end the nonsense I am willing to make the sacrifice.

I don’t have time for a line by line rebutal, but here is a timeline you can use if it works.

http://www.dkosopedia.com/wiki/DOJ,CIAcallforPlameinvestigation,investigationstarts#BeforeCIAfilesacrimereport

Notice at the beginning that it is the CIA that asked for the investigation, not Plame/Wilson. The “outting” not only exposed Plame, but in conjunction the places she worked as an “employee” which were actually CIA undercover investigtions; thus the CIA concern that it will/would/did “out” other agencies and agents as well.

I too, have followed this fairly closely and the Bush administration has fought tooth and nail (not just Sen. Roberts and his fellow committee Republicans) to not reveal its participation in retribution against Wilson for the publications of his findings - which further undercut the claimed needs by Bush/Cheney for an attack on Iraq.

Why should Georgia apologize for slavery? This is part of the dementia of moonbat Liberal thinking.

We fought a Civil War at great cost. There is not a living soul who bears any responsibility for slavery in America.

What’s the point except to pick at the scabs of old wounds and to perpetuate never ending grievances?

But heck, if you really want to apologize for the dead, then the Democrats are the ones who need to do the apologizing.

We Republicans are in the Party of Lincoln and will proudly accept notes of gratitude and thanks for our role in ending slavery, even if our ancestors weren’t Republicans.

Why not? If people have to apologize for something they had nothing to do with, why not thank people who had nothing to do with it either?
