Virginia Right!

“April Fools’ Day” came early this year.   Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell, a professed conservative Republican, together with the Republican-controlled House of Delegates, betrayed their loyal Republican constituents as “Fools of Deception.”  In the waning hours of the legislative session they produced a transportation bill praised in the press by Democrats Tim Kaine and wannabe- governor [...]

Agenda 21 is Not Conservative — Will Representative Goodlatte Take Note? On January 14, 2012, the Republican National Committee unanimously voted to expose and condemn the United Nations Agenda 21.   This may be a shock to many GOP incumbents in Congress who receive campaign donations, pre-drafted legislation, and “expert” advice from Agenda 21-inspired advocates of [...]

The Super Committee has failed. The Democrats one and only goal here is to make Republicans go for a tax increase. Again. And they plan to use this “compromise” to win in 2012. Again. So what do you do when the answer to the question “Are you better off now than you were four years [...]
