I am back from the GOP state convention.  A few thoughts (just mine): Governor McDonnell had an excellent video to speak to the convention (The Governor is apparently in Europe on a trade mission); well put together.

President Obama, as most president’s are expected to do, had a ceremony honoring America’s Military Veteran’s for Veteran’s Day on Monday. (I am not sure why he chose Monday November 7, 2011 as Veteran’s Day is actually on November 11, 2011. Perhaps he was busy that day.) It is a known fact that many on [...]

I am pleased to see former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson announce for President.  I believe the liberty message is served by having more than one messenger.  Even unannounced but serious candidate Rep. Michele Bachmann has some Ron Paul characteristics – she was one of the first members of Congress to embrace Paul and his [...]

So, the completely corrupt and clueless Democratic Congressman from New York, Charlie Rangel was censured yesterday by his Congressional peers, all of whom pretend censure was… a punishment of immense proportion. “Only a couple in the last 100 years,” and “a rare vote to censure a sitting member of Congress” were the buzz phrases in [...]
