I am having an identity crisis. Last week, a reader opined, “I’ve read your editorials for years and know you are a supporter of Republican Party efforts. I had hoped, in vain, that you would disavow the current Republican Party.” I’m guessing he must have missed my snarky columns on David Perdue and Marjorie Taylor Greene. A lot of others didn’t, including another reader who said, “Mr. Yarborough, (sic) I would like to state anyone that is a domocrat like you are, is a domo-rat. We do support Perdue and OUR President Trump and what you say just don’t whole (sic) water and your opinion is fruitless.” These particular observations remind me of the time I was called an “Obama bed-wetting liberal” and a “racist redneck” in the same week. This job isn’t as easy as I make it look. . . . God bless our public schoolteachers. They have had to endure COVID-19, masks vs. no masks, critical race theory, revisionist history, gangs, goofy school boards and private school voucher schemes designed to undermine the public education system and yet they soldier on, making a difference in young lives. I am glad Gov. Brian Kemp and the Legislature saw fit to give them a raise. They have more than earned it. Now, if we will just give our schoolteachers the respect they deserve. . . .

I think Marjorie Taylor Greene is a joke. An unfunny joke. She has accomplished nothing in her one term in Congress except to be denied assignment to any Congressional committee where the real work is done. That means she has no influence in what passes or doesn’t pass in Congress and is relegated to making outlandish statements.
