Virginia Right!

My Richmond area readers can help bring the Copperhead movie to the Richmond by “demanding” it.  Here’s the site (I used my zip code which is Mechanicsville) to go for this demand. Let’s support those who challenge the Lincoln myth as hero and that the war to force the states, acting legally and within their [...]

My blogging hero, William Lloyd Garrison, once said, “John Brown has told us the time.”  I would say to paraphrase that phrase for our time, that “Cyprus has told us the time.”  It is time for us to control spending and debt or someday this will happen to us. UKIP leader Nigel Farage was quoted [...]

EXCITING NEWS!  ConservativeHome is reporting a new poll conducted by Lord Ashcroft (I hope he’s related to my old hero, former AG John Ashcroft) showing this headline: Lord Ashcroft: Liberal Democrats 5% Ahead in Eastleigh But the headline should be: UKIP SURGES IN EASTLEIGH! Now, UKIP is in THIRD place, with 21%, NINE points over [...]

This is a wonderful development!  My legal article, still seeking publication in a law journal, claiming that ICLEI membership is unconstitutional as local invasion of the exclusive Federal power to conduct foreign policy, was cited by my hero Hal Shurtleff before a legislative committee in the Granite State! Last year there was a bill – [...]

I just finished watching The Abolitionists and I will say that it was quite good. I was pleased to see the centrality of faith in the abolitionist message but concerned about the treatment of John Brown.  He was portrayed in a sympathetic light.  But this is early – it is a three part miniseries so [...]

I am sure some are driving down the road and see these signs up that the Mechanicsville Tea Party maintains (by the way, all on private property with the consent of the property owner!) and are wondering:  Who is Gerry Baugh?

For those on the left that are trying to spread the “you took Obama out of context” line, his ‘you didn’t build that’ comment is even worse when you consider the context. If Obama’s logic were right, we would all own businesses. His point in context is that we have Government to thank because without [...]

When I saw the first commercials for this film I groaned:  Not again!  Another pro-leftist propaganda piece from Hollywood!  Who’s the hero, Pancho Villa or something? But you CAN teach an old (well, middle-aged) blogger a few new tricks:  I learned something new and you should too!  There was a Cristiada revolution to restore religious [...]

In the London Evening Standard, UKIP leader Nigel Farage, claims that some Tory MPs are beginning to consider en masse defecting to UKIP! “I’m not going to tell you they are on the verge of coming across,” he said. “All I can tell you is that it’s being discussed. I do know people in the [...]

The state of Florida has repealed its 30-year old growth management law (also called “smart growth,” UN Agenda 21 , “compact development” and “livability”).

Hal Shurtleff is a hero of mine (he helped set up Camp Constitution for example) and was useful in this blog entry about ICLEI. He placed on the web the ICLEI membership list from March 2011 – here it is!  I decided to copy the September 2, 2011 ICLEI list and see if there are [...]

You really don’t need to be related to Nostradamus to see what is about to happen. The debt ceiling bill proposed by Speaker John Boehner that the Republicans are going to pass today will boost Obama’s sagging poll numbers and give the president a much needed boost in his re-election efforts. And it will once [...]

The “shot heard ’round the world” was (for those taught left-wing excuses for history) is the reference to the battles of Lexington and Concord.  My review of the sources seems to show that perhaps the decision of the Jefferson Tea Party to take on ICLEI in Albemarle County is a shot truly heard ’round the [...]

Here’s my email interview with my latest hero, Spartanburg (SC) County Council member, Roger Nutt.  He is a fascinating elected official who was successful in getting ICLEI OUT of his county.  (The City of Spartanburg is STILL an ICLEI member but that may change!  I’ll keep you posted!)  Here’s Roger Nutt: How did you get [...]
