January 30, 2022: On and Off The Field, The University Of Georgia Is A Winner

February 7, 2022 by webmaster Leave a Comment

As exciting and satisfying as it has been, there is more to the University of Georgia than a College Football National Championship. Way more. I was reminded of that fact when I read UGA president Jere Morehead’s annual State of the University address this week. Take nothing away from that extraordinary achievement on the gridiron but with or without having the best football … [Read more...] about January 30, 2022: On and Off The Field, The University Of Georgia Is A Winner

January 23, 2022: Former Congressman Says Trump Should Support Not Attack Other Republicans

February 2, 2022 by webmaster Leave a Comment

I can think of no stronger and more reputable conservative voice than that of former U.S. Cong. Bob Barr, who represented Georgia's 7th congressional district from 1995 to 2003.  Barr was one of the leaders of the impeachment of President Bill Clinton and authored the Defense of Marriage Act which defined marriage as the union of one man and one woman.  (The act was … [Read more...] about January 23, 2022: Former Congressman Says Trump Should Support Not Attack Other Republicans

January 16, 2022: Georgia’s Pandemic Test Scores A No-Brainer

January 24, 2022 by webmaster

I received an email from a group called Cherry Digital in Portland, Oregon, or what remains of the town after being firebombed to near obliteration by denizens of the Looney Left. They tell me that Georgia adults (that includes you and me, although some readers would dispute my inclusion) are ranked 16th in the nation in correctly answering typical SAT questions. The SAT is … [Read more...] about January 16, 2022: Georgia’s Pandemic Test Scores A No-Brainer

January 9, 2022: Some Advice To A Great Grandson For The Coming Year

January 18, 2022 by webmaster

Dear Cameron Charles Yarbrough: It is a new year and once again an opportunity for me to share some thoughts with you as you face a future that is going to be full of challenges. But, then, all futures are challenging because they are filled with unknowns. What counts is how you deal with those challenges. First off, take nothing for granted including life itself. When you … [Read more...] about January 9, 2022: Some Advice To A Great Grandson For The Coming Year

December 25, 2021: A Tribute To A Good Friend And A Great Statesman

January 3, 2022 by webmaster Leave a Comment

This is a column I wish I didn’t have to write. It is about my friend, Johnny Isakson. You have seen, read and heard a lot about Georgia’s senior senator who passed away on Dec. 19th after a long and courageous battle with Parkinson’s Disease. He was 76 years old. Tributes have poured in from both Republicans and Democrats. To mt knowledge, Donald Trump has not issued one of … [Read more...] about December 25, 2021: A Tribute To A Good Friend And A Great Statesman

Dicktations: Here’s What I’m Thinking

State Sen.Steve Gooch, R-Dahlonega, has announced he is running for lieutenant governor.  Gooch is the guy who said that approving permits to strip-mine the Okefenokee for titanium dioxide to manufacture, among other things, toothpaste whitener is not a legislative matter.  It is up to the bureaucrats to decide. This, despite overwhelming opposition from Georgians across the state.  File that away and remember it when it comes time to vote.  I know I will. … [Read More...] about A long memory

Reader Comments

Yarbrough received over 1,000 email responses last year – both positive and negative. Though most of the emails he receives support his viewpoints, one thing is for sure: Dick Yarbrough’s column speaks to people and they respond. Here is a sampling of email responses Yarbrough has received in the past:

  • Thanks for writing what we all are thinking.
  • I am annoyed by anybody who presumes to know what Georgians think.  And that, sir, includes you.
