I really enjoyed MRNN's editorial. The American Education system seems to be going into the toilet thanks to those who believe everything a preacher says and nothing a scientist says. It's a shame that adults can't balance the wisdom offered from spiritual world with the wisdom offered by the scientific world. I was able to learn to do it as a child. The worst thing that could happen to America is if our educational system starts teaching our future leaders that cowboys used to ride dinosaurs just 6000 years ago!

Do they actually have profits to go to charities. I was under the impression that the air shows have yet to make money.

How in your mind could I prove a conversation that took place between 2 people in the lobby of the BOC meeting room? Telling the truth is always risky when you have a lot of "TRUE BELIEVERS" defending "their guy". no matter what sleazy thing he has done! It seems to me that I would have to be pretty stupid to lie about a Republican in Republican'ville while hoping that it would benefit me in some way. I knew that there would be people in this county who would call me a liar even though God knows I am telling the truth about what happened in that lobby. Two people among the group in

I agree with you NewsJunky, if I had asked my opponent to drop out of the election for any reason, I would lay low, too. Patti Smith 770 445 3665 Democratic Candidate for Post 2 Commissioner Paulding County, Georgia www.ElectPattiSmith.com Editor/Publisher of www.PauldingAirport.US

Pubby, maybe you should hold a debate and see who comes. I'll be there. Some hard things have been said about me this afternoon. But the only two people in that lobby were me and Todd. I wanted to cry as I walked to my car that afternoon because that is when I realized I had trusted the wrong person. BUT a WHOLE LOT of Todd supporters were in that meeting room when he asked to speak to me in private. It was about 4:30 in the afternoon after all the BOC meetings were over. There were about 10 or 15 of hanging around and talking ....KV & Cathy Helms & Kerstin & John Dean & Su

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...............So, you think that I would have been seen as more genuine if I had pretended to be someone other that the real person that I am out here in the real world where I live at the east end of the runway in Accident Potential Zone B. Interesting logic. Twisted, but interesting. So............... all the information I wrote regarding the raw deal the Morrisons have received from Paulding, you ignore before deciding that I am not genuine because I did not delete my signature at the end of my message. More interesting logic. Also twisted, but still interest

With due respect......REALLY??????????????.... That was a pretty sleazy thing to say. This isn't about politics you jerk! It's about Thad and Melissa.

This isn't the first Paulding family that the Good Old Boys of Paulding have gone out of their way to destroy. Thank you Pubby for what you have done to help the Morrisons. You're a good guy. Let's find a way to bring a halt to the ogres at The Firm suckling endlessly at the tit of our tax dollars as they destroy yet another Paulding Family while enriching themselves greatly. The Firm knows very well, and it has been said in open court, that if a Paulding property owner wants to sue Paulding County for a wrong done to them by the county, that property owner better have a half million dolla

Really? Well let me inform you that this liberal would LOVE to see several members of the current Paulding governing structure doing the PERP WALK all the way to Jail! Why is it that conservatives never notice that this county is 100% Republican Leadership and also the most corrupt local government I have ever seen?

You completely misunderstood my point about the video. I don't have a problem with HIP HOP ATLANTA. It is not a show I would ever want to see again, but then I also wouldn't waste a moment of my life watching Ducky Dynasty either. I don't like watching people offering up the very worst they have to give as a human being and that is what Realty TV as a whole means to me . THE SCANDAL, as you put it, is that Blake Swafford insulted one of biggest media corporations in the world when he wrote these words in his apology to the BOC & AA....."From what I have seen tonight of this show it is

Well, it is true that when you swim in a cesspool your are bound to come out covered in crap. And these days our government is one big giant cesspool of corruption and dirty money. We need to work together to change that! Staying clean inside America's current political corruption is a challenge for every American, BUT my Mama & Daddy taught me to always be honorable and truthful (even when it hurts) and to do the right thing even when no one is looking. The right thing for ALL, by the way, not just the right thing for me and my friends. Mama said I had to always put myself in the othe

I agree with you 100%. ABOLISH THE AA & IBA!!!! Patti Smith Democratic Candidate for Post 2 Commissioner Paulding County, Georgia www.ElectPattiSmith.com Editor/Publisher of www.PauldingAirport.US

Well, thank you Pat, for standing up for me. I appreciate your kindness in speaking the truth. AND I'm only when angry when people go out of their way to do me harm. Then, you'd better stand back. BTW, I was a Republican until that party took a sharp right turn to......well, you can see where & who they are now. I just couldn't go THERE so the Democrats were kind enough to include me in their party.

This is just one more outrageous attempt by our current crop of elected & non-elected officials who want to side step the will of the people! Please pay attention to this important matter and pack the meeting rooms tomorrow! If this goes through, the people will have no control over this airport WHATSOEVER! The way the proposed Intergovernmental Contract Reads, if the BOC gives the airport and all the land over to the Airport Authority, the AA can then give total control of the airport over the Brett Smith and Propeller Investments and the people will lose their county to greedy economic g

PAULDING COUNTY..... YOU MUST SEE OUR AIRPORT IN THIS VIDEO!!! Last year our county airport played host to the crew of VH1’s LOVE & HIPHOP ATLANTA! Blake Swafford, our airport manager, agreed to the filming but didn't show up for work at the airport that day so he couldn't supervise how our property would be used in the filming. So he didn't know, he says, exactly what this very popular VH1 show was doing at our airport. It's something to see if you like Reality TV, which I don't. Whether you are a fan of Reality TV or not, I think some of you may find this sort of activity AMAZ

I agree 100% with Gone regarding location. Horrible spot for a BBQ. Surrounded by trees and no shade in sight except for a few tents. It was stifling hot at 7pm. Can't imagine how hot that hard surface was in the middle of the day. As for attendance...I was there for 30 min starting at about 6:30 on Friday. All the people I saw were inside the booths except for four people who I saw milling around from booth to booth. Plenty of parking and no crowd control problems. Actually, I think I saw more crowd control types riding around in their little 4-wheel carts than I saw crowd to control. There

I wonder who is watching the watchers.

No, I don't think a DEM can beat Todd, but I also think that the people who live at the ends of the runway need a champion to stand up and say "Hell NO!" to commercialization while working to educate our fellow citizens about the damage this aviation boondoggle has done to our lives and will do to so many more if Propeller Investments prevails. And hopefully, I can help swing public opinion on the wisdom (or lack there of) of turning our bucolic general aviation airport into Atlanta Jr. Airport. Todd is standing up for us, but as a property owner at the east end of the runway, I felt the need

It has devolved into a Never Ending Story, Surepip, sadly. That's why this sick & tired old woman at the east end of the runway has become a politician. I may not win as a DEM in this county, but I surely will do my very best to make my government CARE about the harm they to the citizens. And if they don't care, at least some of them will be gone from government. Next, we have to abolish the governing Authorities that allow UNelected officials to spend our money as if it were free money from Heaven, instead of our hard earned tax dollars. And making somebody pay for what they did to yo

Yes, I was also thinking of "How to Win Friends and Influence People" when Mayor Doris had her finger in my face last Tuesday morning, nearly growling at me when she said "You people are destroying this county."

I am sure she is a "very sweet lady" when you agree with her.

My dear, prothall... I could not possibly have said it better myself, no matter how many words I might try to throw at the rampant ignorance and arrogance most always exhibited by SOME "concerned Paulding residents". Thanks to you for being an intelligent, well-informed and thoughtful voice of reason in Paulding County. .... & I do not understand people who have one set of rules for themselves, where they can say any crazy thing they want , true or not, any time they want , BUT they have another set of rules for everyone else that says "You have to say what we like to

You mean that's all there is to it? I didn't understand. I thought I needed to know the secret password or something to make my special new political account spring to life. Pollen season also brings on brain fog which makes life appear more complex, in general. And, please don't take the new signature as proof that I secretly knew how easy it was all along. The signature with the airport website info and quotes came about way before I decided to join the political debate. That signature is a snapshot of how I felt after the revelations of last October regarding airport commercialization,

I didn't say you were ignorant IN GENERAL. I would never do that Pubby because my experience with you informs me that it is very important to you to appear to be the smartest guy in the room. What I was trying to say was that your post from May 21 @ 12:30am, which was filled with your erroneous beliefs presented as actual facts about me, was factually incorrect and in my opinion showed a complete lack of understanding of real estate value in Paulding vs. real estate value in Tuscany. Yes, it is true that this old woman's dream would be to kick back and enjoy a lovely Chianti as I look out

Poor Pubby...Pure BS, ignorance of reality and sour grapes is such an incredibly unattractive combination...and sort of sad, too. Here's hoping that your defeat in yesterday's election doesn't hurt too long. AND, I forgive you for saying awful things about me here instead of calling to congratulate me in my victory. It takes a big person (character-wise) to congratulate the person who has defeated them. I pray that if Todd Pownall defeats me in November, I have the courage and the character to call, congratulate him, and wish him the very best.
