I guess Fox is the so called conservative

I guess Freeman or Barry if she gets lucky

She’s a major yankee transplant enemy

And her husband Bruce Barry epitomizes our cultural sworn foes

Emily Evans is a moderate but when I lived in her district before I moved to rural Williamson she helped me...,a lot

She and Charlie ran the ball for me and really tried

As did the older open seat guy ..,,the Father Ryan old school guy who retired from Crieve Hall area

Name escapes me

CPA in real life

Charlie Tygard has character and sound ideology and Christian Faith

His brother Scott ran the baseball league for zip codes 37205 and 37215 forever

Those fields at Old Hickory Blvd and Hillsboro Pike

My kids played there 9 years

Scott is first class too

Wish Charlie was mayor but no way

He’s a conservative

In the old days there was one legend of a man who got stuff done if you knew him

Man he was great at Codes and Zoning and Stormwater Detention

Sadly he passed away

Sonny West..,,,RIP

Jay West who’s at Bone now married my wife and i 20 years ago when he was vice mayor

I’ve got an idea to save Nathan Bedford Forrest memorials. Just put up a plaque on the thing that says: “Forrest Gump’s Namesake”.

Then, when the libs start protesting, we can say “Look! They hate Forrest Gump! What are they, some kind of monsters”

That statue of N. B. Forrest almost looks as if it could be some crude attempt at caricature. Having seen a picture of the statue in question...I’m not sure those asking for TDOT to plant foliage to obscure it were completely out of line.

So proud of TDOT for doing the right thing and not giving in to the current hysteria. I noted that the only flag there at the moment is the Third National and it is flying at half staff.

I'm thinking Freeman will win. Strikes me as a major crook. He's mouthing the Prog line, but I think that's only to get elected.

Barry is an out-and-out commie. If she wins I may become a Williamson County resident sooner than I planned. Tell the truth I'd prefer Gentry to either of them. At least he would be an honest crook. I suppose I will vote Fox.

At least this is the end of Karl Dean.

TDOT does the right thing, but that is a hideous statue that is a bad caricature of NBF.

This story is old. TDOT is not in the business of putting up or taking down trees.

I’m glad Nashville 4th Yankee libtard mayor in a row is not mine

She is an off the charts progressive harridan

My oldest boy and I went to Green Hills today and looked at house off Woodmont where he was an infant

It was an old hunting cabin from back when Woodlawn and Belle Meade and the Comptons owned most of the land as pasture

Way back before it got forested again

The home was on stilts on Sugartree creek and flooded

But my point was I saw more stupid Bernie! bumper stickers than Hillary

I think this is a lose, lose situation.

If the statute survives unhidden by landscape foliage, the elite leftists will point to it as a deplorable example of unwashed redneck knownothingness. If the statue is concealed from view, we lose an issue of principle.

OK. Actually, I thought the idea of camouflaging a CSA monument, for a bs social political agenda, was the actual story. I could care less, about what state lackey serfs, carry out the deed. By the by, my post was directed to Nathan Bedford. Regardless, thank you for commenting.

Nashville is very libtard now and heavily non southern

It is a burr under their self righteous arses

But it’s an ugly statue

I have been tempted to offer the owner to let’s erect a simple faux bronze

A tincast

They can be forged to appear quite regal and Shiloh worthy till you ting them with your finger

Like the one in some obscure corner of the capital here

Of course. Why would you think otherwise? Take care.

If you are directing posts, putting them out in a public forum may get replies from different directions. :^)
