It seems official. Barack Obama has weaponized the IRS along with the Justice Department and the EPA – to name just a few. During the 2010 State of the Union address, Obama bemoaned the Supreme Court’s decision in the Citizens United case that overturned part of the McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance Reform law. (Is it really [...]

Alea iacta est…the Council has spoken, the votes have been cast, and we have the results for this week’s Watcher’s Council match up. Usually, it’s the coverup, not the crime. But in this case, it’s both. This week’s winner, Bookworm Room’s Is the IRS scandal the worst political scandal in American history? I say “yes [...]

I can’t speak for my fellow Virginia Right! Blogger Sandy Sanders, but I will not personally endorse nor support Corey Stewart in the Republican Convention. Although I was a part of the Virginia TEA Party Federation / Middle Resolution vetting process over 2 days last week, and this process concluded by endorsing Stewart, I have [...]

This is enough to make you ill. My friend Shaun Kenney has a new post up over at Bearing Drift with the sordid details. Terry McAuliffe and the Virginia Democratic Party should be ashamed to condone Pedophiles and some are even advocating making these child molesters a “protected” class and are calling pedophilia a “sexual [...]

Do you know how you can tell when you are winning an intellectual argument with a Progressive? They call you an extremist. And it is intended as an insult. But I always try to consider the source. And if the source is a Progressive, then keep in mind that they believe in redistribution of wealth, [...]

As we have previously noted, Governor McDonnell has moved firmly into the RINO Camp proposing a 16% Sales Tax Increase for Virginia to pay for more roads. (What is it with these pretend Conservative politicians?) And while the abrupt left turn for McDonnell is sure to ingratiate him in the eyes of Progressives (although Progressives would rather see [...]

As sure as Autumn has turned to Winter, the gentle thoughts of Progressives turn to trashing the Constitution, a document that they find places restraint on their plans to remake America into the very type of tyrannical monster the founders fought to gain their freedom. There were many protections place in the Constitution to prevent the [...]

As I mentioned yesterday, my Congressman Eric Cantor and his War on Conservatives has convinced me that all is lost on the National Front with the Republican Party. As Speaker John Boehner and Cantor, two Progressives pretending to be Republicans purge Conservatives from every committee, the result is not only a total and complete move away [...]

“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 [...]

Liberals are so funny sometimes. They want to tax, tax and tax some more. And they would rather use “taxes on the rich” as a political weapon than actually increase federal revenues. Or so it seems. Liberals decry all the “trillions” of dollars that the wealthy are hoarding and want to stick it to them [...]

If you don’t agree with the radical left wingers who believe womanhood is defined by how many babies you abort, they do their best to shut you up. These mostly menopausal screeching harpies just don’t get it. I feel sorry for them. They are so dead set on having abortions that they deem anyone who [...]

Remember when the Obama Administration promised unemployment would not go above 8% if we allowed Obama to spend a trillion of our tax dollars. We allowed and he spent. Green jobs, he promised, would be a boon to the economy and life would be grand. In fact, he said unemployment would be 5.6% by July, [...]

A new Rasmussen poll shows that 31% of Americans give Obama passing marks on the economy. These people are either idiots who are not Progressives, or Progressives who are idiots. And all Progressives are idiots, it is a requirement. This is also proof positive that math skills in our schools need to be improved. After [...]

In my wrap-up to Tuesday night’s election results from the Virginia Republican Primary, I included a rather scathing shot across the bow of the Virginia TEA Party groups who supported a completely unelectable candidate who ran a “trash and burn” campaign, not on the issues of what this candidate can do to help America (if [...]
