Virginia Right!

My fellow Virginia Conservative Blogger Justin Higgins put out a really good video explaining why the Internet Sales Tax is a bad idea and hardly fair at all (as it pretends to be). This is Justin’s first video and I think it is well done. You can visit his Blog at JHPolitics.

Over the last year or so, in between the brush wars of the 2009-2010 election cycle, I have kept an eye on the actions taken by Senator Jim DeMint of South Carolina… and I have been impressed. What I have witnessed over this period is a that Jim DeMint is an unapologetic, dyed in the wool, Ronald Reagan conservative, even when its inconvenient. He has done whats right, even in the face of opposition from his own party. He has supported, through his Senate Conservative Fund , and personnel endorsements a host of CONSERVATIVE candidates for the US Senate, including, Marco Rubio…

Mark Strama is a liberal Democrat, currently occupying the seat belonging to Texas state House District 50 .  He’s known for his affinity for a certain Barack Obama , which probably helped him in 2008.  But now…not so much. District 50 is mostly in liberal Travis County, but parts of it leak up into Williamson County, which is a red bulwark hard against Travis County’s blue dot.  Most of Williamson is in District 52, which also elected a liberal to the House in 2008 – Dianna Maldonado.  And a drive through Williamson shows that Maldonado knows she’s in for a serious fight against the GOP nominee, Larry Gonzales .  Maldonado’s signs are everywhere, curiously omitting any mention of the radical leftists who support her candidacy.

I suspected foul play, but I stayed passive with the cab driver.  I expressed empathy, as I didn’t wish to get on the bad side of this black man who was obviously distressed and angry, and …

My, My. How quickly they turn on their Messiah.

Now could you imagine the pitch if Beck or Limbaugh had said this?

HDNet’s Dan Rather stepped on one mine after another in the racial minefield that exists when talking about the nation’s first black President as the former CBS anchor, on the syndicated Chris Matthews Show over the weekend, uttered the following take on the President’s ability to get health care passed and how the GOP and independents would view it.
