I've been following the Occupy Whatever protests across the country so far with a mix of amusement, sadness, and annoyance. I don't dismiss these people as meaningless, because they can--and are starting to--cause a lot of damage; but it's also hard to take a group seriously who condemns corporate greed while simultaneously posting on Facebook [...]
As someone who worked closely with Jamie Radtke for over a year, I have to weigh in on this craziness going on between her and RedState.com. I’m not looking for a fight with limited government conservatives, though. I have my hands full battling the Big-Government progressives. My purpose in this post is simply to say [...]
RTP's black conservative meet and greet scheduled for this evening at the Walkerton Tavern and Gardens facility has been cancelled due to power outages in the area. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and will reschedule the event as soon as possible.
I know this is short notice, but if you're able, please try to attend the following educational event this evening. It'll be VERY interesting and informative on a critical topic for our nation. ---- “EDUCATION” VIRGINIA AT THE CROSSROADS ~ TONIGHT ~ Monday, July 25th 7:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. Tuckahoe Branch Library 1901 Starling [...]
The House did its job in passing Cut, Cap, and Balance. Now it moves to the Senate. Lindsey Graham reported tonight that it will get a vote in the Senate Friday at 10:30am. That gives supporters only a few hours to shut down the phones for Senators Webb (202-224-4024) and Warner (202-224-2023) to urge them to [...]
A large group of patriots gathered at Rep. Eric Cantor’s office yesterday to personally deliver the message that we do not support a raise in the debt ceiling, unless AT LEAST the Cut, Cap, and Balance approach is implemented. I was impressed at how many people came out with less than 24-hour notice in the [...]
I have this sinking (but totally expected) feeling that Republicans are about to sell out us and the nation yet again. Before we get to that, though, let’s begin with some good old fashioned class warfare rhetoric from a true artist: "If we do not have revenues, that means there are a bunch of kids [...]
Leftist policies are often (and correctly) described as "tax and spend." After the stimulus bill passed, though, some flipped the phrase to "spend, then tax," anticipating that the Left would ultimately demand higher taxes to reduce the gargantuan deficit they created (and we opposed). We now have proof that the change in terminology was correct as well: [...]
To give you an idea of what Richmond Tea Party is working on now and for the future, I interviewed President Eric McGrane. My questions and his responses are below. ---- What major initiatives are on tap for Richmond Tea Party this year? The primary focus for the rest of the year will be activities [...]
Let’s review: $14.4 trillion in national debt $114 trillion in unfunded liabilities No federal budget passed in over two years TARP Bailouts of massive corporations while average Americans are struggling just to provide for their families ObamaCare (i.e., forcing citizens to purchase a product or service, while calling it “health care reform”) Many thousands of [...]
An excerpt from my latest post on redstatevirginia.com: We heard all kinds of doomsday prophesies from the Washington Spenders about how the world would literally end if America didn’t raise its debt ceiling in time. Yet when we reached it, all Treasury Secretary Geithner had to do was move some funds around to keep us [...]
Though I haven't seen this reported in the media, I received an alert from Freedomworks that the U.S. House is holding a vote TODAY on raising the Debt Ceiling. I called Rep. Cantor's office and was told that he doesn't yet have a statement. We need to do everything we can to show Congress we [...]
