Politics, elections
The Virginia Tea Party Alliance PAC announced its "Beyond 21" plan this week, with a goal of targeting 7 VA state senate seats in the upcoming November 8th election. The Richmond Times-Dispatch ran a piece on the initiative: The Virginia Tea Party Alliance is targeting seven Democratic state Senate [...]
Amid high rates of joblessness and underemployment, today’s youth are starting to feel the squeeze of a downturned American economy. The data released from the 2010 Census verifies what many experts as well as ordinary citizens had known for some time: the current generation of young adults, recently dubbed “The[New] Lost Generation”, are having a difficult [...]
In typical establishment media fashion, the Associated Press has decided that the VA republican senate primary is over, and that you don't need to hear from the candidates. You see, it's really easy (lazy) to simply deem that only the well-known big-money candidates have a message worth hearing. In a message from prior RTP president [...]
Jamie Radtke’s statement regarding President Obama’s “jobs speech” President Obama’s speech proves one fact: He doesn’t understand how to get government out of the way of job creators. So he’s trying the same old approach that he already tried and that already failed and is just putting a new spin on it. He’s chasing the [...]
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 [...]
I knew that the ugliness of politics would eventually hit close to home. But what I did not envision is that it would come at the hands of fellow conservatives.

When people speak of virtue they often think of religion and more and more people are believing that there should be no connection between government and religion. The fallacy of this argument is that virtue and religion are not necessarily the same thing. Virtue is just another word for morality, and morality simply means doing [...]
Here's an interesting story from BigGovernment.com. Of course, "anonymous sources" are always suspect, but this is extremely troubling if there's a sliver of truth in here. Let's hope....no, rather INSIST that the Republican leadership act with conservative principles and take ACTION, rather than just offering fake platitudes and kicking the can down the (very long) [...]
This is not a moral judgment about the quality or goals of the Egyptian protests. That will be for history to decide. The world watched in awe as Egyptians doggedly protested their government. Egyptians fought police in the streets and finally cheered as the military intervened. Mubarak fled the country. The people celebrated, and some [...]
The First Amendment of the Constitution provides “the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.” There are two words in this statement that are important to for us remember.
