HOA vs. Medal Of Honor Recipient
3 December 2009 | Patriotism | 44 Comments
This HOA couldn’t have inflicted a more serious self-inflicted head wound had it decided to hold a puppy barbequeue in the community commons. Unbelievable.

Walk For Children
20 November 2009 | Patriotism, Manassas City, Prince William County | 6 Comments
Once again, Austin Haynes is raising money for a good cause in his quest to be sort of a one-man United Way for the City of Manassas. He’s raised money for a number of charitable causes over the years with 24 hour swims and other tests of endurance and perseverance that are pretty darned incredible. […]
Thank You, Veterans

“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s […]
Prince William County Defines “Cool”
25 October 2009 | Patriotism, Prince William County | 8 Comments
Regular people getting to ride in tanks and watch flamethrowers shooting fifty-foot fireballs into the air. Man, do we live in the greatest county on the face of this earth, or what!

Kaine Administration Shuts Out Military Voters
4 October 2009 | Patriotism, Virginia Politics | 36 Comments
Is this really how Virginia Democrats want to treat deployed military personnel?
The Virginia State Board of Elections argued in their most recent filing that they have no legal obligation to send out military absentee ballots in a timely manner. Restated, the State of Virginia has argued in a federal court filing that they can legally […]

I Think You’ll Excuse My Light Posting…

Here’s what I’ve been working on lately that has kept me from posting a lot this week:
It has been an incredible honor to work with the folks from Troops Need You to help them carry out their mission to give deployed service members the resources they need in order to accomplish […]

Liberalism Is A Mental Disorder

Guest Post by Robert Molleur
Before I moved to Prince William I lived in the People’s Republic of Arlington. One morning just after terrorist attacks of 9/11 I was watching the Arlington County Board (Board of County Supervisors) meeting on TV. I noticed that unlike the Arlington County School Board, the Arlington County Board did not […]

Remember the Fallen, Forget the Politics

Guest Post by Sanford D. Horn
For my grandparents it was December 7, 1941. For my parents it was November 22, 1963 and July 20, 1969. For us it will always be September 11, 2001.
Dates that define a generation.
Whether it was the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor as the impetus to the United States’ full scale involvement […]

PWC Gets Another Hero
27 August 2009 | Patriotism, Crime, Prince William County | 8 Comments
Looks like we have another hero in the county.
The car’s engine compartment caught fire, and that’s when the driver told the officer that his baby girl was inside the car.
Oyler rushed to the car to find the child.
“I couldn’t get the driver’s side door opened so I went around to the passenger side door and […]
We’re Gonna Party!
3 July 2009 | National Politics, Patriotism | 74 Comments
The buzz I’m hearing is that the turnout at the Independence Day Tea Party at the McCoart Center in Prince William County is going to be tremendous. The importance of that cannot be overstated, since this is not an election year for Congress and the only thing that will get their attention in an off-election […]

Our Heroes Died For This?
20 November 2008 | National Politics, Patriotism | 45 Comments
This is an interesting look at some Obama voters and their basis for making the decision they made on election day. I see the mainstream media did an excellent job of making sure voters could make an informed decision at the polls, as usual. Don’t take this to mean […]

Happy Veterans Day

To all my fellow veterans, happy Veterans Day.
To those who might not remember why this day was chosen to honor those who served, on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918, the guns finally fell silent in “The Great War” now known as World War One. This day was […]

Are You Smarter Than A Citizen?
3 July 2008 | Patriotism | 16 Comments
MSNBC has a little quiz up that purports to be similar to the one given to immigrants seeking U.S. Citizenship, and I took a quick swipe at it. I got an embarrassingly low 75%, blowing through a bunch of questions without really reading them, and in once case keying on the fact that New York’s […]

Austin Haynes Steps Up - Now It’s Your Turn
2 July 2008 | Patriotism | 11 Comments
Soil and Water Board member Austin Haynes likes the idea of a spraypark in Manassas, although he doesn’t like the idea of having taxpayers fund it, especially when budgets are tight. So instead of griping about it, he’s raising money himself to have it built. Classy.
