I am blogging today from the beautiful Big Stone Gap area and the mountains are majestic and the fight for liberty here is awesome. There is a wonderful effort to honor the founding of country (and bluegrass) music in Southwest Virginia. The Crooked Road is a tourism initiative to help visitors to appreciate the efforts […]

Speaking on the Senate floor this morning, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell again made the case that now is the time for Congress to tackle our out-of-control federal spending. “A few weeks ago, President Obama reportedly said that America doesn’t have a spending problem. Well, he’s wrong. This is completely at odds with what independent experts tell […]

“The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public’s money.” “A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always […]

Rasmussen has just released a poll of Virginia Voters and Romney now leads Obama in this swing state by 3 points, 50% to 47%. The poll of 750 likely voters was taken on October 18, 2012 and reflects both presidential debates to date as well as the VP debate. One significant finding in this poll is that […]
