Virginia Right!

I have not received any word from the MD Secretary of State’s office on the pardon of William Lloyd Garrison.  I wrote this blog post and sent this email on April 17: Dear Secretary of State McDonough: I am a blogger for Virginia Right (www.varight.com) and a great admirer of the abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison.  [...]

You can be a Democrat and a Christian. You can be a Liberal and a Christian. You can be a Liberal Democrat and be a Christian. But you simply cannot be a Progressive and a Christian. The two are mutually exclusive. Progressives will use Christianity. They will use Islam. They will use any religion or [...]

Former Virginia Governor Tim Kaine, Willie Horton, the Massachusetts murderer and Jens Soering, a Virginia murderer share a common bond.

“The bridge back to me supporting Radkte has been burned, blown up and nuked to the stone age. I would vote for her in a primary if she was the only candidate against Allen, but that is how much I loathe an Allen candidacy.” ~ Chip Tarbutton comment on Sara for America blog It is [...]

But the response from Democrats on the front lines of 2012 election battles? Silence. Or, at best, tepid enthusiasm.

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. But until recently there weren’t any Strama signs anywhere in the sliver of Williamson County that’s in his district.  That changed about a week ago.  Now, on a drive through the area, you can’t help but notice that…

At times in life there are opportunities where you and I can really make a difference in our nation’s government. Today is one of those moments.

Our nation is in crisis. Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi are imposing socialist programs at breathtaking speed, and there has been little effective Republican opposition. This moment demands principled, articulate leadership. That’s why I want to introduce you to Feda Morton, a lady who has been extremely impressive to me as a woman of faith and a lover of freedom.

The Democrat Party of Virginia spent truckloads of money in a futile attempt to defeat Republican Incumbent Delegate John O’Bannon M.D. in the 73rd House District.

The landslide victory saw Dr. O’Bannon receiving an overwhelming 62.3% of the vote while Shields received only 37%, an embarrassing total considering the massive amounts of money that the DPVA spent on totally false smear mailings. It does go to show that the voters of the 73rd are far smarter than Tom Shields and his bosses Tim Kaine and Nancy Pelosi give them credit for being.
