I really hope you aren’t making the argument that conservatives are less educated than liberals.

Laughing at U – if you don’t think that Georgia is conservative, go buy a fifth of Jack this Sunday or explain why vibrators are illegal.

“conservative state”?

hogwash. people are people.

they just get less of an education in georgia and are more easily duped.

hence jim wooten’s career.

Maybe they would sell more papers if they realized that they are in a conservative state and had more than Jim as “the Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s lone conservative voice”.

I couldn’t handle the workload. It would be tough enough to write a column that often, but knowing I have to provide GriftDrift with half of his blog material would just be too much.

Exactly Wesley. Wooten is the main reason I don’t read the paper and I would never read his opinions online. Not because I’m afraid of ‘principaled conservative’ voices (which Wooten is not), but because he spent so much time as a GOP tool echoing their talking points like Rush and attacking ‘liberals’ as un-American. Maybe the paper has realized that people are tired of this type rhetoric and they might sell more papers if they published someone who offers ideas and solutions rather than Wooten’s cranky get off my lawn sentiments.
