New Blog seeks To Gain Access To IP Addresses?
Posted below is the response Mr. Rackley has posted on his new blog titled "Giles free speech blog"
notice that his blog is only one word different from mine.
Mr. Rackley claims that he started his new blog because he could not post this response on the
"GILES FREE SPEECH ZONE" blog.
Being an accomplished computer person who supposedly makes a living on his computer skills it seems extremely unbelievable that Mr. Rackley could not scan, cut and paste or type this same information on here as he did on his blog. It seems like it would take the exact same number of keystrokes on either blog.
As a frequent reader of this blog Mr. Rackley would be well aware that he could have simply asked, and his request would have been granted, to have a tread dedicated to his subject.
My belief is that Mr. Rackley chose to set up his new blog with a similar name so that he could learn the IP Addresses of those who would visit his blog and then with his connections at PES he would be able to identify the owners of those IP Addresses without having to obtain a court order. I would suggest that anyone seeking information from Mr. Rackley's blog access it from a computer at the library in order to protect their idenity.
One other thing that should be of great interest is when you read this "response" from Mr. Rackley notice the complete lack of any specific documentation to support his fanciful claims.
I have no problem expressing appreciation to Mr. Rackley for his contributions to the county, I have no ax to grind with him, I don't know him well enough to like or dislike him on a personal level, to me the entire issue is the waste and extravagant spending of taxpayer money by the EDC and its director and the attitude shown toward those who would seek an openness about this organization that answers to no county or city entity.
Perhaps someone could explain the difference in Mr. Rackley's statement "we cut our expenses" and the statement "we cut our budget"? As for his claim that "at this time last year we reviewed the 2011-2012 in detail with the County Commission and I felt we cleared up anything that was misunderstood by them"
It wasn't misunderstandings that needed to be explained but the total request that continue to grow each year. The reason there was any effort to explain anything to the Commissioners was because they threatened to cut EDC last year. One big falsehood told at that meeting was that the County HAD to fully fund the EDC request, WRONG.

This topic is complete bullcrap. It is a blatant lie to say that he created a blog to get IP Addresses. Who are you trying to scare? Maybe you don't want people to know how often you post anonymously on this blog? It does happen, and often.
If you had anything, you could certainly be sued over this thread.
3:54 Are you saying that a man as computer literate as Mr. Rackley is incapable of scanning a document or cut and pasting?
2:08 My mother and father are dead and I strongly resent you making any reference to them ever. I suggest that you pray I never find out what your slimy coward's name is.
What are you going to do Barrett? If you can't stand the heat, quit posting and picking on people. You put yourself out there in the public eye, so grow a pair. Isn't that what you say to public officials? Are you some sort of pansy?
I think you know what was meant with the Obama reference dumbass. It had nothing to do with your actual parents. Your crying sounds like Obama as well. Allen Obama Barrett has a nice ring to it.
Looks like you started something that your tiny brain can't handle. An upstanding gentleman in the community has proven you wrong and now you think you can get violent. Put your thumb in your mouth and stand in the corner, moron.
You have gone too far with this one Mr. Barrett. I have always given you a chance, but now you have shown complete disregard for a good man. I only hope you feel the shame for what you are doing one day.
I read the first post before you deleted it and it contained nothing worthy of deletion. Someone hurting your feelings doesn't meet your deletion criteria. You have said far worse on here and not taking it off when it clearly was offensive and wrong. Look in the mirror.
It's just sad that this guy continues to cause trouble in our community. So sad. We were so in hopes that he was going to be moving to Lebanon or was it Murfreesboro?
Rackley is a crooked bastardize and most people know it but he’a with the other inbreds who control this county like royalty. Barrett gave documents and Rackley gave opinion if you choose to believe the opinions over documents that's your right to be a dumbass. If you spoke of my parents as you did his I hope you stayed under your rock so I couldn't’t get my hands on you.
7:36 I hope David can find out who you are so he can take both you and Barrett to court. I don't know a lot about case law, but I do believe that Barrett could be held legally liable for the content of this filthy blog. Again, I hope he can find out who you are.
I have said for a long time that this blog is going to cause some very serious problems someday. I still think it will.
Is it this month the EDC will elect their chairperson for the next four years?
7:36
Did you not talk badly about David's parents by the names you used to describe him? Like I said, I hope he can find out who you are.
Ha! Seems the mirror was too much for Barrett. He can malign people's parents and minor children and leave posts up here that do the same, but once he is attacked apparently can't take the heat. And he wonders why he is called "sorry". What a lame double standard.
10:25 I honestly think he's losing what's left of his mind, and it's really pitiful.
I heard they might take Rackley off the EDC, especially as Chairman. I hope that is true. What does he have on Vickey Harwell, she seems to be the only one for him.
Hearsay...aka gossip.
If anyone saw the post that Barrett deleted, please let me know what it said. No Mr.Barrett I don't read this much. I have a friend that does and informs me every time I am your target. Too much garbage for me! Also see my response to this again at:
http://www.gilesfreespeechblog.com
The post stated that Barrett reminded him of Obama and made a reference of them being brothers from another mother. Due to the fact that Obamas father was black and his mother was white, the poster stated that maybe it was brothers from a different father. Nothing more than a joke. Barrett couldn't handle it.
Barrett is starting to get what he has needed all these years, a swift kick in the ass. I am glad someone as busy as David Rackley is taking the time to put him in his place. The silence from Barrett is all we need to know.
Barrett's mom would be severely disappointed with his conduct.
7:55 When I passed his house the car was gone. He must not watch the blog 24/7 like CG does.

For your information, I do not sit on this blog 24/7. Oh, and before I am falsely accused, I am not the one who made those posts about Barrett's mom and daughter. There's no call for such dirty talk. Again, this blog needs to be shut down.
You mentioned passing by Barrett's house and finding that his car was gone. Well, isn't he a "reporter"? My guess is that he was out somewhere in the community trying to dig up something on somebody. What a laugh.
I think everyone should go to David's site and read it. One thing he said is something I always believed. "Nothing on the internet is private." We may post anonymous but our name cane be found out.
Good post David.
Nice 643, you've reached an entirely new low. It was bad enough when someone made the first comments about David, now this? Really? You want to talk about slanderous? You basically need a kick to your hind end---and I don't even know her.
I don't think any one really cares about Rackley's site. The proof is on here. His opinions are on there and his opinions are worth zero in my mind. I do not know the man but his infantile actions helped me to form the opinion that this man does not need to be appointed to any committee or commission that tax dollars fund.

8:36 From what I understand "nothing is private on the internet" however, even if WAB's computer was confiscated by a costly court order, it would still take several hundred dollars to have the work done to trace an annonymous posting. Not many people would find it worth the cost. (The procedure and expense was explored years ago).
Brotherly love is always so nice!
Downtown Revitalization Estimates Given
Posted on June 14, 2013
Preliminary estimates of $200,000 and $376,000 for phases of the Downtown Revitalization project were given at a Thursday committee meeting. Stacy Cox, with the firm of Hethcoat and Davis, presented estimates to a committee working on the project as part of the city’s strategic plan. Construction cost of $174,000 was included in the $200,000 total cost of the first phase for the courthouse and parking only. The $200,000 is included in the $376,000 figure. In the first phase, plans call for planting Crape Myrtle, Mixed Magic Rose Hedge, Burning Bush and other plants. Hanging baskets, lightpole flags, benches and concrete pads also are proposed.
Where does the money come from to fund such a project when other things are needed more?
William Whitworth Road got patched this week. Now water or sewer can tear it up again.
I removed the 6:43 post because of it's especially disgusting untruthful comment. If you want to attack me fine that's the way life is, but until you can show some evidence of your claims it's just water off my back. I understand why some feel it's necessary to post as anonymous but to use the anonymous tag to viciously and slanderously attack innocent family members who have absolutely nothing to do with anything requires a very special breed of lowlife scum.
I have never posted anything about un-involved family members of public officials, I certainly could give the names of a number of prominent families whose children have been involved with things such as the destruction of school property, DUI's where special treatment was given, even a number who have been engaged in sexual activities with teachers and other students at school and in the parking lot while school was in session. I have not done that and I challenge anyone to show a single post where I have involved innocent, un-involved family members of public officials.
If Mr. Rackley wants to challenge anything that I have made reference to why doesn't he post his response where the questions were raised. It's a simple thing to scan a document into his response and point to the proof that i was wrong instead of again making accusations that have nothing to do with the questions I raised or else leave the reader in a fog wondering what specific things in the budget he is speaking of. I have shown the checks with their numbers it should be a simple matter to say those checks are bogus or admit they are correct. To date they have not been disputed only vaguely referenced with comments about unrelated things. You decide.

Barrett..
But can't you see that the inflammatory comments made on this blog....some by you....are the reason for the hatred and turmoil?
The reason for hatred and turmoil is a choice made by some either by their actions or their thinking.
Just tried to scan a document into a response here. It won't work.
Barrett.....I knew you would refuse to accept it. And it is you who makes the choice to keep things stirred up. Have you no shame?
Look if you want to put a document on this blog it is as simple as scan the document into Picasa cut it and then paste in in your comment box. If that does not work send the document to me and I will be glad to do it for you. I will also be happy to post suggested topics for discussion. The problem is less one of getting it posted as it is asking to having it done.
I think that downtown revitalization is quite important!
Do you think downtown revitalization is more important than helping the needy???
I am quite certain that it is not the City's responsibility to help the needy.
Are you stupid, 12:34? Seriously?
The title of this topic is an outright lie. Barrett can't say that he doesn't lie anymore. What a foolish statement.
6:33 Prove it.
Sorry the picasa trick didn't work.
Prove what, 7:16? Are you idiot enough to say it isn't a lie?
CG, Did you go to the Magneti Marelli Dedication and see Governor Bill Haslam, Senator Lamar Alexander, and Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn.
1:45
Why is that any of your concern?
It was refreshing to hear them give the credit to our county executive, mayor and EDC which they deserved. Keep up the good work gang!
Bill Haslam, Lamar Alexander and Marsha Blackburn wouldn't have been here if they hadn't taken care of the Magnet Marelli job. If EDC had taken care of it they would have been the only ones there to blow their own horn.
24/7
1:32 if you say so Buddy. You must not have been present at any of the many meetings with the MM folks though. Otherwise you wouldn't have stated such an untruth.
I have a question which might need a new thread, why is the rescue squad and the ema office sending a convicted sex offender to a class in new mexico on the county dime? am I the only one who thinks one he shouldn't be a fireman for our county, and two that the county should not send a sex offender anywhere on county money?
Depends on the crime. You need to give more information and names so people can make an educated decision about it.
It sounds more like you are trying to stir the pot rather than actually being concerned.
5:32 If he/she tells the person's name then you will be after him for slander.
http://www.tbi.tn.gov/sorint/sor_Details.aspx?htid=00324978
see for yourself
EMA will do whatever they wish; they are protected by the County Executive. Look at the money they have spent and wasted
I see the same idiot is posting negative nonsense around the same time every morning. Are you using company computers to prove you are stupid?
It is a sad thing that EMA has such a history of questionable actions and costly missteps. Much of the problems could be alleviated with simple and honest explanations from the County Executive instead of stonewalling, hostility, and obfuscation.
Obfuscating...What a laugh. You failed to mention Terry Harwell, Vickie Coleman, David Rackley, and the election commission.
You are so funny.
why is the county advertizing for bids to replace the roof on the rescue squad building?
It is sad that you have such a history of questionable actions Barrett.
WAB. It appears to me that its time to thrown in the white towel.
8:58
Nice of you to concede to WAB like that.
11:52
Uh...I think you misunderstood. I think 8:58 was suggesting to Barrett that he throw in the towel.
why s the state not looking into what the ema and squad does, that seems like a lot of double dipping
Simple questions:
Was a former EMA/Rescue Squad member allowed to leave the state after stealing thousands of dollars of equipment and even though there was proof positive and the thief was know nothing was done to prosecute him?
Did the State Auditor find massive discrepancies in the time and pay of the Director and Asst. Director and were these discrepancies not covered up by adding it to their regular pay resulting in huge pay increases while other county employees received nothing in the way of a county pay increase?
Did the County Executive basically fire the volunteer director and replace him with a highly paid director after the office was set up and running by the volunteer?
These should not be very hard questions to answer with a simple yes or no but any truthful response would be appreciated.
No
No and
No
You're welcome.
Just saying no didn't satisfy me.
Did someone steal county equipment and get away with it?
I've heard a little about this before.
Was no equipment stole?
Could they not prove who stole it?
Do the elected officials just not give a hoot?
Barrett...
Name the individual you are accusing of stealing. This is your chance to step up.
5:00 Now you are being mean. You know he can't name the person. Beside that you probably already now.
You want someone to sue Barrett for you jollies.
Why shouldn't he be sued for making accusations such as he's made just recently? But it's a moot point IF he did in fact put all his assets in someone else's name.
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
9:15 I'm being mean? Are you serious? Allen Barrett has accused people of felonies, and you give him a free pass?
What if he had cleverly "suggested" that maybe you had had a sex change operation? Would you think that a joke? NO! Here's why. Such hate-filled statements plant the seeds of speculation and doubt in the minds of people. That's what that was all about. Are you blind?
NO, if anybody is mean, I think it's none other than William Allen Barrett and those VERY FEW (thank God) like you who are his apologists.
I'm not 9:15 but when I read the 5:00 post I wondered if that was CG. Now I know it was.
Terry, I never wondered if you had a sex change. I laughed and still thought Barrett shouldn't of said that. Too many people are saying things they think are cute on this blog instead of making good comments.
When I say good that doesn't mean agreeing with Barrett. It means giving reasons why what Barrett said was wrong. Just attacking Barrett's charter makes people think Barrett must of been right.
In the past week when I get on the internet this pops up:
Security and privacy are not optional. Stand with a broad coalition to demand that the NSA stop watching us: stopwatching.us
I always thought anyone smart enough can get on your computer.
Barrett's character SHOULD be called into question when he makes threads such as the one he made about Terry Harwell. Joke or not, it causes people to speculate and gossip...did he really??
No, trashy threads like that are never right, and neither was Barrett for creating it. I don't see how that can be defended.
Harwell believes making trashy statements about citizens in public is acceptable so why the whining when he gets the same medicine? Maybe Terry should have set a better example and his followers should quit whining when Terry has made equally offensive statements about citizens, including Barrett, in his attacks.
Who would of wondered if Harwell had a sex change? That is the silliest statement I've read.
Anyone that knew Terry have known him as a man. He hasn't changed outward any way. Same old ignorant man in my opinion.
8:25 got it right.
Cry about something worth crying about.
11:02
Have you never heard of the power of suggestion? That is exactly what could be derived from Barrett's thread about Terry Harwell...did he REALLY have a sex change operation or... I believe that is precisely what Barrett wanted to see happen. My opinion.
11:20 are you saying that since Barrett suggested Terry get a sex change that now Terry is actually considering it. Read your comment dude I’d hate to have you speak for me. You just to funny.
5:35 I can't find a post from 11:20 and reading the other post none suggest Terry is going to get a sex change. What kind of Kool-aid are you drinking?
5:35
Please tell me you are smarter than that. Barrett never "suggested" that Terry get a sex change operation. Go back and read his filthy thread. He asked 'Did Terry Harwell REALLY (operative word) have a sex change operation or'. Can you not see how provocative a statement like that can be out in a small community? If not, please have someone explain the power of suggestion to you.
This was NOT a joke, and Barrett intended (my opinion) to get people to talking and speculating about Terry's sexual being by making the thread. Shameful.
5:35 Not everyone is the gossip you are.
8:29
And your blind allegiance to a known troublemaker is astonishing.
It's gossip when those you disagree with repeat something but ALWAYS FACT when you guys do the same thing. And that hypocrisy is likewise astonishing.
How about all of you thinking "Is that the way I would like to be treated?"
Barrett says things I don't approve of and a lot of others do also.
CG thinks he is a Christian Gentleman and I think he tries to be, but he strays a lot. He goes over board in what he says about Barrett.
I don't think God approves of anyone looking down on others and making fun of them.
Despising or hating anyone only hurts the one doing the despising
We all sin and fall short. That doesn't mean I'm not a Christian and a gentleman. I believe the Bible will tell you that we are to do good unto all men...not berate and try to ruin them in a public manner.
Does that mean you have a special exemption when it comes to the way treat Barrett?
Does posting "you acted STUPID" in my opinion isn't berating anyone. CG says things that berates Barret same as Barrett post things that berate people.
Was what Harwell said at the chili cook off about Hughes not berating?
You act like a child, Mr. Barrett.
Yes 11:04 is berating Barrett again.
But cries if something is said about the one he loves.
No special exemption for me. As I said, we all sin and fall short. But here's the difference. I am not out in our community accusing people of felonies and saying mean and nasty things about them to destroy them in the eyes of others. That is shameful and should never be. But you defend the one who so eagerly goes after those he feels wronged him in some way. Why not suggest to him that he pray for those people as the Bible so clearly teaches? Don't hate.
9:43
To suggest that someone is acting stupid is NOT the same thing as calling him stupid. In a way, I suppose it could be seen as berating someone, but my intention was to point out what appeared to be stupid behavior.
Yes, I think Terry used some language he shouldn't have, but I also understand how he was minding his own business before the incident occurred. I also understand how any of us can be provoked to anger. Furthermore, I know that any of us can blurt out things in a fit of anger that we later regret. I believe that is exactly what happened. And granted, Barrett wasn't even there, and Terry shouldn't have called him a name (if he indeed did that). But what you aren't considering is that Barrett had already made an enemy of the Harwells by some of the things he publicly said about them.
Now, as for Barrett, I don't see his name-calling and verbal attacks on people as happening the same way. He has time to sit behind his keyboard and think before putting his words out there for people to see. There's a huge difference between a spontaneous reaction and a cleverly worded epistle. Can you not see that?
I'm not taking up for Barrett but trying to get everyone to see when you attack Barrett on the blog it's the same thing as going out in the county attacking people.
8:20 You are right about spontaneous reaction and cleverly worded epistle.
Which is your post?
As for the Harwells and Hughes. They had already had words. Hughes was just filming them, Vicky was the first to turn it into something else. I don't doubt Hughes would of done something later, but Vickie walked into that.
How do you like to listen to a preacher preach what you shouldn't do, then you see him doing just that?
8:34
I see myself as responding to Barrett's attacks on others. But I will admit that he opens himself up for ridicule when he behaves as he does. There's no sense in trying to destroy people out of jealousy and resentment.
You always talk about general things without giving specifics or proof to support your claims. Barrett gains credibility simply by putting his name on his comments and including specifics with the evidence.
Your anonymous gossip just don't reach the level of specifics with proof and a name standing behind it.
9:03
You always claim Barrett does things out of "jealousy and resentment". How do you know what another is thinking? Are your attacks on Barrett and any who agree with a stance he takes done out of "jealousy and resentment"? Do you believe because that behavior is engrained in you that is the only reason any one else could question the actions of our government?
Our county government can not even follow their own rules. Look at the hospital fund. They raid a fund they are not supposed to touch and sell a bill of goods to the public. If we didn't raid the fund we would have to raise your taxes, which is a bunch of B.S. and every body knows it. It was just a way to cover up the poor job that is being done by those elected. Filling out time cards for overtime for salaried employees a year after the fact? And only because an audit caught what was going on. Come on, you are not that stupid. Are you?
9:38
First of all, Allen Barrett is by no means someone for whom I would be jealous. I hope and pray that I am nothing like him. Secondly, I resent him for the trouble he has caused our county.
If the audit caught it, then I would expect charges to be brought if there was intentional deception. And if those vested with the responsibility to pursue that, then what do you suggest we do? Should we storm the courthouse and drag those we THINK guilty into the streets for a public hanging?
Was trying to say that if those vested with the responsibility of prosecuting a deliberate deception refuse to do so, then what do you suggest we do? Obviously the approach of a few disgruntled people is not working.
What was it called when they us to put people in stock on the public square for people to see when they did something wrong? Maybe that should be tried. laughable
Pointing out what is wrong with the county, city or federal government can help people see not to vote for that person again. It could help the person doing wrong to see their mistake and change.
Doing nothing doesn't help the tax paper at all.
CG, should we just hide our head in the sand and let wrong go on and on?
If there's a wrong then it ought to be pointed out, but accusing good people of felonies and suggesting out of spite that someone may or may not have had a sex change operation is low-down mean, and you know it.
Besides that, who are YOU to proclaim what is right and wrong? If you don't approve of candidates in office, work to see them defeated at election time. Is that not the process we have in place that has worked for a long long time? Do you want to see that changed?
Then what are you bitching about enabler? Barrett and this blog have exposed many wrongdoings. Wasn't the auditor related to one just hired in the financial management office? Our governments lack of following procedure has been exposed only to have idiots like you enable the wrong doing. Look at our election office, Terry Harwell's job, the hospital fund, to name a few.
Any time some one makes a statement against someone you worship you take the extreme opposite and make stupid comments like "Should we storm the courthouse and drag those we THINK guilty into the streets for a public hanging? " which that type of action has not been spoken of on this blog except by imbeciles like you. No one condones violence, except for maybe Terry Harwell as we have seen at the Chili Cook-off, but we do condone exposing those who are not doing their job but taking home or responsible for taxpayer funds.
Not every one is so ready to jump into bed with crooks like you but your previous comments do show your limited mental capacity.
10:49
I am a citizen of Giles County and of the United States of America. It is my Constitutional right to campaign, for, against or with whomever I want every day of the year if I want. Before, during, or right after elections if I desire, as is the right of every citizen. That is the system we live under per the Constitution. I don't know what system to which you refer, perhaps Russia, Iraq, pre-WW Germany?
11:39 The only enabler I know of is you who keeps on promoting the lie Allen Barrett told that I willfully go along with wrongdoing. It as a low-down lie when he told it and remains as such today. You keep bringing it up, and I will keep reminding you as long as the Lord gives me strength.
Why are you bitter anyhow? Are you Barrett posting anonymously or a very close family member? Why can't you just let the chili cook-off go? I know you can't but thought I'd ask anyway.
If you have a problem with Mr. Harwell, why don't you go see him and talk it out? I don't see Bob Hughes on here ranting and raving.
Is it wrong to talk about the public actions of our elected officials? I posted these as some examples of what is wrong with our local government. I did not get into the missing/not missing money as well as other things but don't you think Harwell's actions are something the ethics committee should have brought forth? Is that a discussion Terry would have maturely? Or maybe citizens should take a chance when confronting him, about their concerns, that another Chili Cook off incident does not happen?
There would never have been any finding of the audit made public if Barrett didn't put it on this blog. Vanzant is most of the problem and the one who covered up the missing money, time cards and used hospital money before the commissioners even knew about it. This county owes a great debt to Barrett but doubt he'll ever be thanked. I hate to imagine what it would be like now if he and this blog didn't keep people informed you sure can't count on the newspaper or radio for information. The radio needs a good investigative program where people can get the truth, I think Barrett would be the perfect host. He could bring in guest and they could discuss different situations with people calling in.
3:54 (Barrett?)
No, I think the county has suffered enough financial loss because of you. Do you really think the radio station would give you a time slot? What a joke.
10:49 Who pointed YOU to tell us nothing is wrong. You sound like Obama with your "IF." That is what he says, "if it happen?"
Barrett gives reasons why he thinks what he says. I don't know if it's right or not and never will from you. All you do is post against Barrett and anyone else agrees with him.
All cg knows how to do is say bad things about Barrett.
One good thing will CG has the floor and others post against him you are letting Mr. Rackley alone. GOOD!!
It would be much simpler to knock them in the head and drag them to an open trunk. Trunks are much roomier on newer cars; you wouldn't even have to fold their legs up too much.
6:32/6:39
Nobody appointed me to say nothing is wrong, because that would be a lie. Sure, there are things wrong with our county government just as there is everywhere else. But again, who APPOINTED Barrett and his small band of "intellectuals" to fix things for us? Nobody.
We have political and civil processes in place for that. And, as citizens, we should play by the rules. That doesn't mean we try to humiliate and ruin those we don't approve of. We shouldn't try to character assassinate those who are serving. Disagree is fine...vote them out is better!
5:53
You really know very little about freedom, our political process, the U. S. Constitution, or the founding fathers comments pertaining to a citizens duty to question the actions of it's elected officials. Every thing you posted is utter nonsense and crazy and a system I am glad I do not live under.
Where did you grow up? Russia perhaps, because you have been brainwashed by enemies of freedom and your writings are not from any one who believes in the U.S. Constitution.
I am wandering what your political and civil process entails? See something is wrong in government and stick your head in the sand and do nothing because if you say something one of your friends might get mad at you? Or hide in anonymity and attack those who are fulfilling their American duty and questioning the actions of our elected elite?
You are probably happy as can be that our own government has thrown away the Constitution and spies on us. Enabler you are sick and perverted so why don't you get the hell out of this country and go back to the totalitarian dictatorship you love so much..
7:26
There is NO WAY on God's green earth that I am going to let you get away with this one.
First of all, you know NOTHING about my love for freedom. Did you ever find yourself in an enemy ambush while defending freedoms? I have, so don't try to lecture me on this matter!
Secondly, I am well-versed on the political processes that are in place and a part of state and federal law. Do you care to enlighten me on any gray areas? Just because I'm not on this smutty blog doing my best to ruin the lives of people I don't support doesn't mean I am an ostrich about things. As I have explained to you on numerous occasions, I play by the rules, abide by the electoral process, and support candidates and issues of MY choosing...not necessarily YOURS! It's unfortunate that you seem unable to tolerate opinions that differ from yours and the likes of your hero.
Lastly, to call me an enabler is to promote the lie Allen Barrett told on me that I willfully go along with things I know to be wrong. I will continue to remind you that he lied when he told that and it remains just as much a low-down lie today.
You suggest that I leave my country. No way! I fought for it. Did you??????
Like you really fought for this country. You are a self admitted coward per this blog. Every one has read your posts and can see you have an arbitrary view of freedom and who should be entitled to it. So preach all you want because every one knows what a liar you are.

Your hatred is frightening. Thank God people like you aren't in control of those who think differently.
Everyone knows what a liar I am? Who? You and Allen Barrett? I told the truth about myself and about my wartime service, and it's your problem if you choose not to believe me and to call me names. Arbitrary view of freedom? What a laugh you are. My wartime service helped give you the freedom to call those like me liars...the very ones who gave you those freedoms. You are un-American...not me.
You are the one who has made this claim but never identified a single unit you served with. Are you so ashamed that you can't name a unit or is it that you really didn't have a unit. I have never known anyone who could not name the unit they served with while in the service. I am too young to have served but will be commissioned after I graduate next year if there is still a military.
7:49
It is absolutely NONE of your business which unit I served with. The fact is that I did serve and, because of the service of millions, you have the right to call me a liar. I might add that I am not about to give you the unit, because I feel certain that you would do everything within your power to find out who I am. That too is NONE of your business.
I hope that once you are commissioned that (notice that I accepted what you said about that and didn't call you a liar) you will remember the sacrifice of veterans who gave you the freedom to call people names and to question their patriotism!
And we are supposed to believe you 8:21? Trust you, a proven liar on its word? No way.
I see no reason for CG to lie about his serving our country. I, for one, would like to thank him for his service, along with all those who fought and died for our freedom. We owe you a debt, my friend.

To the 4:48 Tuesday poster
You state, "Just because I'm not on this smutty blog doing my best to ruin the lives of people I don't support..."
I had to shake my head in disbelief at reading this and wondered if you actually read it or was it like the statement you made about knowing wrongdoing was taking place but wouldn't do anything to change it.
Do you not realize the absolute fallacy of your statement? You have attacked everyone who has disagreed with you, some who weren't in disagreement but merely curious as to how simply claiming to be a Christian somehow automatically made you unable to enable wrongdoing? You have attacked me on numerous occasions, such as in the post I respond to, when I wasn't even involved in the conversation. You have challenged my credentials as a minister and even my Christianity because I disagree with you. You have not only leveled vicious attacks against me but against my family members who have no involvement with what I do or say. You have called me a liar without being man enough to face me with any kind of legitimate proof, while each statement I have made about your activities has been attached to my name and with clear evidence of my claims. Simply by that statement you are revealed to be a coward and liar.
While I would not call you an ostrich I would say that you definitely have allowed your friendships to blur you vision to the point of blindness to their wrongdoing.
You state, "As I have explained to you on numerous occasions, I play by the rules".
This is obviously a matter of playing by your own rules as in the matter of the "County Charter" where you were involved with making up and spreading outright lies such as it cost the county a $100,000.00 to vote on the Charter.
It's things like that which make people question such other statements as "I'm a Christian Gentleman and that's why I can go along with wrong doing".
You state, "to call me an enabler is to promote the lie Allen Barrett told on me that I willfully go along with things I know to be wrong."
Let me explain once again and give you an example of your enabling. Enabling isn't just a matter of going along with wrong but knowing there is a wrong, having the power to do something about it but choosing to do nothing. When the state auditor found money had been paid to the EMA director in violation of state law and that an attempt to cover it up was made by backdating time cards did you contact Mrs. Vanzant and complain about that action? When the state auditor revealed that the Special Ed. supervisor was basically stealing money did you contact the school director and request anything be done?
Now for a lie to be a lie it must knowingly be untrue when stated. I have not lied to you, about you or on you and the proof has been provided. You are what you are.
Now as for your military unit or service I appreciate the fact you served. Knowing your unit from so long ago would still leave you anonymous as there are literally thousands who make up a division and even a squad over the years, but as I said it is of little concern to me, I appreciate your service even when you have questioned my own.
Ray
Thanks. I appreciate that. Take care.
Barrett...
You ought to be shaking your head in disbelief as to your behavior.
Again, to call me an enabler of wrong is the lie you told, and it will always be a lie. Humble yourself and admit that you lied or at least stop bringing it up. It only makes you look bad, and I am not about to let you get away with it. No, I would prefer that you call me a Christian and a gentleman. I think you would be wise to emulate.
No, revealing my unit would give people like you a hint as to who I am. Let's say, for example, that I told you I served with the First Infantry. It wouldn't take a genius to find out who among us served with that division. Names would be easily attained and then, by the process of elimination, the choice of who the person is could be isolated or greatly narrowed down. But then again, you know that already.
Are you crazy 12:35 do you have any idea how many people have served in the 1st Division since WWII. You got to be kidding.
How many in the Big Red One have served since then and are still alive, and furthermore, how many from Giles County? No, I'm not at all crazy. I just threw that out as an example, and you apparently misunderstood.
CG, Thanks for serving your country. I don't care what unit you were in.
My question is when will you give proof of what Barrett said was wrong EXCEPT that he lied on you being an enabler? I'll except you aren't an enabler, but all this whining and attacks against Barrett and anyone who disagrees with you saying they must be stupid or something like that without calling them the name out right.
Give us info of what has been said is wrong. It leaves me to think you don't know just don't like it because it has been said against someone you love. OR do you like the attention?
David Rackley is the only one with enough sense to give a reason when not to agree with Barrett.
Thanks David.
5:38
My argument with Barrett is not about whether he is right or wrong about other issues, but I know he is wrong about accusing me of enabling wrongdoings. That's my beef with him. In fact, I won't say he's wrong about anything else other than the way he treats those who don't see eye-to-eye with him. However, I strongly opposed his position on the charter and on the zoning controversy.
Are the reasons David gives even answering the questions. A lot of what I have seen David post is his opinion backed by no proof. I have seen more suspect postings from David that opens more questions. Why are Brenda Speer and the EDC co-mingling funds? There is absolutely no good reason for this. How can David say he is not being compensated when he is?
I hope Ford does the right thing and appoints some one new to the EDC. But I will not hold my breath.
5:57 How long has it been since zoning was discussed?
Tell why he is wrong.
What about the way you treat others that don't see eye to eye with you?
Some of them you've said was acting stupid, but you didn't say what you believed was why it was stupid.
8:37
Zoning hasn't been discussed in quite awhile. I was merely using that as an example of an issue in which I think Barrett was dead wrong.
What about the way I treat others who disagree with my thinking? Give me an example of where I have called anyone a nasty name or tried to ruin that person in the community. That's just not true.
As for asking if someone is stupid, I admit to that. But that was, as Barrett called it, describing behavior. I didn't call anyone stupid. Some people, by the things they say or the things they do, cause others to wonder about their intelligence. That's all it was, but you want to split hair over something I feel certain that you have done yourself.
Hope I've cleared up some misunderstandings for you.
We all wonder about your intelligence enabler.
Tell why you supported zoning 8:10 I'm sure everyone would love to know why you prefer the government control you property than the individual who owns it. You sound more and more like the communist in the white house.
Talk about trying to ruin a person man you have done everything possible to ruin Barrett with your gossip, part truths and full lies.
And you behavior on here has been worse than you claim Barrett to be, at least he puts his name on what he writes. You are either blind or such a hypocrite it's beyond real.
Busy this morning, aren't we?
Enabler is a lie Allen Barrett told.
I don't have to explain my position on zoning to you. Nor do you have to explain yours to me. It hasn't been discussed in quite awhile, and I see no need to bring it back up.
I have never tried to ruin Barrett's reputation in this community. I don't think he needs my help with that. All I have ever asked him to do is behave and stop trying to hurt people.
Why must you guys continually resort to calling names? I think you learned from the best.
No one in this community has had a greater attempt at destroying their reputation than what Barrett has experienced and most of that effort has been at your hand enabler. You have resorted to gossip, rumors and lies in your efforts to destroy a good man who has done much for this community and isn't afraid to answer questions. You know that the cost of the Charter was nowhere near a $100,000.00 it wasn't even five thousand but you would never let the truth interfere with your desires. You claim this and than about many things but when you are cornered with a direct question it's always the same "I don't have to answer to you" well, you don't have to answer to me or any other person but your lack of answers puts you in the same category as the IRS workers who abused the nation and stole money then hid under the fifth.
4:13
You are wrong again. I am not trying to destroy that "good" man. However, I do admit that I have challenged him on MANY occasions to stop trying to hurt people and to stop causing trouble in our community. Having said that, I must tell you that I strongly disagree with your assessment of his being a good man. I don't think he is, and I've a right to my opinion just as you have a right to your opinion that I enable or promote things I know to be wrong. No, that was a lie when Allen Barrett told that and remains as such today. In fact, THAT is my major bone of contention with him right now, although I find it totally disgusting how he goes after certain people I feel he resents. That's shameful.
Question for you again. Why is it gossip or rumor when someone like me mentions something and yet ALWAYS the truth when you or your buddy has something to say? Can you see any arrogance or hypocrisy in that? As for the charter costing $100,000, why are you blaming that one on me?
CG, Did you ever post it would or did cost $100,000.00 to vote for or against the charter?
6:29 because you have stated it cost a $100,000.00 and you are a damn liar if you deny it.
I hate gossip from anybody could care less who it is. The difference in you and Barrett is that he has provided proof of the things he has claimed while you just say it's true because you say it is and everybody is supposed to just fall over believing it. You say he hurts people he resents I don't know who he resents but I have first hand experience with Vanzant and her lies and based on what Barrett printed on here Rackley is either a fool or a crook and for you to defend his actions in this EDC mess proves you are a enabler. The Video of the police report from Vickie Harwell proves she is a liar and she should have been prosecuted for filing a false police report.
So show me fact that Barrett lied and I'll join you in your criticizing him but until then you should just shut up or show some proof.
7:37 aka 7:37
To the best of my knowledge, I never said that. However, I may have stated that I had heard it cost that much. I personally would have no way of knowing.
There you go again repeating the lie Allen Barrett told on me that I willfully go along with or enable wrong. It was a rotten lie when he told it and remains as such today. I would almost bet that he would appreciate not being reminded so often about telling that lie. Why don't you consult with him to see if that would be so? By the way, I have already offered proof that he lied about my enabling wrong. The problem is that you refuse to accept it. That remains your problem and not mine.
There you go again defending Barrett's so-called "proofs" that anything he says is factually true. I would strongly disagree with that. I know he lied about me, so why would I think he would always be truthful about other matters?
You mentioned that Mrs. Harwell filed a false police report. Can we think of anybody else who actually did that? I have to laugh.
You really don't accomplish anything by calling people nasty names. Think about that and stop hating.
I asked if you said it cost $100,00.00 to vote for or against the charter. Just wondering.
As for your reply the other post I didn't post it, but I would like to see someone reply why it isn't so.
As for me I agree you say he lied about YOU. How about some proof of the other things you think he lied about. NO one telling a different side leaves people to believe Barrett.
I don't have time to hang around the courthouse to see what is going on or go to the commissioners meeting. The radio or newspaper don't always tell what is going on.
My commissioners want answer their phone. Caller ID is wonderful thing. I have it too and when I see a name I don't know I don't answer.
Maybe David Rackley will check into the other things WAB post and lets us know why it's wrong for CG isn't going to.
Of course cg said the $1,000,000 comment. You can check out his post on the "Ideas for industries" topic at Thursday, June 27, 2013 6:18:00 PM. He never said he "might have heard that" but rather posted it as fact. More mincing of words, cg? My Lord, man, don't you ever get tired of changing your posts to appear right all of the time? If you post it, own it.
11:32
I made that post at 6:18 but never mentioned the $100,000 cost for zoning. Now, if you will be so kind as to cite the actual post wherein I stated as fact that it cost that amount of money, I will gladly admit it and make it right. Lying and trying to destroy people I don't particularly care for is NOT my game. nelyval
There you go again liar, it's not $100,00.00 cost of zoning it's was about the Charter, You said it you help pay to have it printed and you have repeated it which makes you a liar, if you repeated it without knowing it as fact then you are a gossip. Either way a slimy troll.
8:38
No, I never said I helped pay to print anything, so stop lying. So are you saying the charter thing cost taxpayers $100,000? And for what? We will defeat it again if it comes back up.
That was the OK it claim liar. You said it cost 100,000 NOT ME.
10;12
Would you stop lying? I may have said I heard one or the other cost the county $100,000, but I never stated it as fact. Get a life, why don't you.
Ok, back to work outside for me. I'll check in with you later...count on it.
He's been out in the sun to long and confused.
Is Barrett really an ordained minister? What denomination?
Do you people ever check your english grammer and syntax before you post your comments?
7:43 Call him and ask.
Has Mr. Rackley taken his blog site down? I get a 402 error when I try to connect to gilesfreespeechblog.com
Yes, Barrett is an Ordained Baptist Minister and has been for a very long time.
Barrett ought to be ashamed of himself acting the way he does.
Ordained? Surely, you jest? Right?
The man lives by what he believes and teaches and I got to tell you when he came to our church the message a powerful teaching. You may not like him or his methods but you can’t raise a good arguement against him unless you do a lot of criticizing of St. Paul who used the same methods to tell the truth.
If he came to preach Christ at the church I attend, I would walk out. There is no way I would sit there and listen to him. Thank God, I don't have to.
8:02 So for living in the good ole USA you can go hear any preacher you choose to. Or not listen to anyone you don't want to. That could change in the further.
8:02 No doubt you would have walked out as soon as St. Paul walked into the room. That's the problem with so many people today they only want the truth as they see it not as God gave it. Some preachers are so concerned about political correctness they are afraid to speak out against even late term abortions and the abuses of the federal government against other preachers and church groups. It's the timid that you prefer that have destroyed the true meaning of Christianity.
8:02
No so. But I WOULD NOT sit and listen to someone like Allen Barrett. There's no way in the world. You are also very very wrong and judgmental about my supposedly preferring the timid. On the contrary, preachers across this land should be shouting from the pulpits that such things as abortion (killing children for the sake of convenience) and gay marriage are wrong and clearly condemned in the Bible. Furthermore, I despise political correctness.
That post was meant for 12:20
2:52 if that was true you would be the strongest supporter of Barrett in the county but we all know that's just talk and talk is cheap. Cowards always talk while hiding under their beds. No one in this county has been more bold in speaking out against wrong than Barrett and he don't exempted his friends when they were wrong.
5:11
I just had to laugh (again) when you mentioned cowards hiding under beds of anonymity. Uh...I believe you will notice that you are also posting anonymously. Do you see any hypocrisy in your post?
NO, I would not listen to a word Barrett had to say from the pulpit. Nothing he could say would convince me of his sincerity, and that is an opinion I still have a right to hold. Can you imagine sitting and listening to him lecture you on name-calling and troublemaking? Ha!
Why do you think he would lecture you on name calling and trouble making 9:34 must be your guilt complex coming out.
Defend him if you choose, but the truth is still the same.
I think someone said "opinions" are like noses everybody has one.
2:29 If you only had a tenth of the intelligence, morals, integrity and honesty of Barrett you wouldn't be the decrepit little coward you have revealed yourself to be.
6:06 You are either totally delusional or you are trying to be funny. Morals? Integrity? What a laugh. My guess is that you are just trying to be a comedian.
He didn't say anything about being from Canada.
