Bad Call, Governor
26 February 2010 | National Politics, Virginia Politics, US Senate | 66 Comments
This is a big disappointment. I could understand Governor McDonnell keeping mum about the Arizona senate race, but I can’t understand Bob McDonnell endorsing for re-election that tremendous and consistent disappointment to conservatives called John McCain.
Bob Marshall On Fox News
14 February 2010 | National Politics, 13th HOD District, Virginia Politics | 42 Comments
Nice to see delegate Bob Marshall get some national coverage on HB 10 on Fox News the other day. If Bob manages to inspire some other states to follow suit on this, the idea that the federal government can compel you to buy health insurance under penalty of fines and […]

Another Outrageous Waste Of Taxpayer Dollars
10 February 2010 | National Politics, Local Economy | 10 Comments
When IndyMac was shut down by the FDIC, the assets were sold off at a steep discount to a bunch of Democratic Party insiders. As part of the deal, the FDIC guaranteed to cover creatively-calculated “losses” allowing banks to reap rich taxpayer-subsidized profits in a way that actually encourages banks to foreclose rather than work […]

The NAACP Sells Out
6 February 2010 | National Politics | 9 Comments
One of the organizations I’ve always held respect for has been the NAACP. Not that I always agreed with them, sometimes I’ve disagreed with them rather strongly, but given their history and record of accomplishment they’d always get a pass from me. They could be forgiven what I perceived as occasional mistakes or misunderstandings. In […]
A Wolf Looking Out For The Folks
5 February 2010 | National Politics, US Congress | 7 Comments
Guest Commentary by Sanford D. Horn
In children’s literature, the wolf is portrayed as the ruffian, the evil-doer. He went after grandmother in Little Red Riding Hood, he huffed and puffed in The Three Little Pigs, and of course there’s Sergei Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf.
Back in the adult world, I say three cheers for the […]

Aborted Fetuses In Some Cosmetics: TRUE
2 February 2010 | National Politics | 14 Comments
Do cosmetics companies use fetal tissue obtained from abortions to help make those wrinkles go away and give your skin that healthy, youthful glow? In at least one case, the answer is an unqualified “yes.” One Swiss company has openly disclosed on their website that a key ingredient in their leading cosmetic product uses aborted […]

SOTU Open Thread
27 January 2010 | National Politics | 34 Comments
Great response by Governor McDonnell tonight, and I appreciated the (unintentional) laugh lines of the President in the SOTU speech tonight. Your thoughts?
Will Obama Lose The Illegal Alien Bloc?
27 January 2010 | National Politics, Illegal Aliens | 18 Comments
Illegal aliens are very concerned that Obama might not deliver on his promise to provide them with amnesty, raising concerns that he might lose the support of this important demographic should he fail to deliver on comprehensive amnesty. Just take a look at this quote from the Washington Post:
Hugo Rodas, 40, a Gainesboro resident […]

Lingamfelter: March On Washington!
19 January 2010 | National Politics, 31st HOD District, Virginia Politics | 9 Comments
At the end of Delegate Scott Lingamfelter’s remarks he announced that he would be drafting a letter to be signed by members of the Virginia legislature and delivered to our federal representatives, encouraging that delivery to be made by a march on Washington. Now that’s a fascinating idea! It […]

Delegate Bob Marshall was a speaker at today’s 10th Amendment Rally in Richmond which drew a huge crowd of over 2,000 people to hear about how state sovereignty can be preserved in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Bob Spoke about the reasons why he introduced HB 10 which will prevent the […]

Remember When…
6 January 2010 | National Politics | 29 Comments
Remember when Barrack Obama told us that the negotiations with the health care proposals would be televised on CSPAN so we would all know what’s going on?
Yeh know, I’m still waiting for those broadcasts. Haven’t seen a thing televised yet, even though CSPAN is just begging to do it.
Gosh, am I […]
Locally: $3.8 Million Per Stimulus Job
6 January 2010 | National Politics, Local Economy | 4 Comments
If it weren’t bad enough that taxpayers shelled out over five million dollars to “save or create” one-tenth of one job in Orange, Virginia, it turns out that we’ve been funneling money to zip codes in Virginia that don’t even exist, according to the Old Dominion Watchdog. The “stimulus” program has clearly devolved into a […]

Behind Closed Doors
6 January 2010 | National Politics | 2 Comments
Here’s an excellent short video from the GOP pointing out why so many of us are so concerned about what’s happening in Congress with the health care proposals.
Happy New Year!

Things I’m looking forward to in 2010:
Keith Fimian unseating Gerry Connolly in the 11th District
Seeing someone replace Jim Rich as Chairman of the 10th Congressional District Committee
Chuck Colgan announcing his retirement and a special election being announced in the 29th Senate District, with Delegate Jackson Miller running to replace him
The Anointed One continuing to set […]
Obama Revokes Five Constitutional Amendments
30 December 2009 | National Politics | 24 Comments
And when will the first American Citizen be seized on U.S. soil, denied his Constitutionally-protected rights, and rushed away to face charges as a “war criminal” in some foreign court? Any day now, according to the DC Examiner.
…the Obama order reverses a 1983 Reagan administration decision in order to grant Interpol, the International Criminal […]

The White House Culture War
24 December 2009 | National Politics | 23 Comments
What would Christmas be without an homage to Chairman Mao, drag queens, and The Obummer himself? In the eyes of the Obama administration, apparently a holiday not sufficiently infused with “hope and change”, one would suppose.
I would never have thought Aldous Huxley’s imagination could have possibly underestimated what our future holds for us.

Warner and Webb: Harry Reid’s Lap Dogs
21 December 2009 | National Politics, US Senate | 18 Comments
In the middle of the night the Senate invoked cloture on the massive “manager’s amendment” to the Senate’s health care bill, with Senators Warner and Webb voting to stop the discussion. Although no one has been able to actually see the amendment under consideration, it includes Sen. Harry Reid’s unprecedented payoff to Ben Nelson […]

Since Others Are Getting Freebies…
19 December 2009 | National Politics, US Senate | 19 Comments
Senator Ben Nelson held out a bit on ObamaCare and got hundreds of millions of dollars from the federal government to cover the increased costs that will be forced on to states like Virginia as a result of this bill. Senator Mary Landrieu got 300 million dollars for Louisiana in return for her support. Some […]

Obama: Stop Destroying Our Country!
17 December 2009 | National Politics | 10 Comments
If you were on Interstates 66, 95 or 495 during this morning’s rush hour and happened to look up, you might have seen this. Thanks to the Danville TEA Party for putting together the funding for a great effort to highlight our discontent with the policies of the current administration!
