The Myth of War Spending
It is true that there is a rift in the Republican party. For many years the party of conservatives has been anything but conservative. Increasing federal spending and the creation of invasive new government agencies are a legacy of the Bush years. By the end of the Bush era the American population had become galvanized against Bush, and with no real conservatives in sight the Republican party nominated the... read more

Why the founders matter
The founding fathers of the United States have been forgotten in American pop culture. Instead of real history we teach our children silly parables as though the founders were the apostles, and the most they have to offer is simple moral lessons. Our nation was in the grips of a Tyrant when it was formed. The oligarchy that ruled the American settlements in the new world imposed regulations and taxes on... read more

Setting History Right
I recently ran across this visualization that describes the final votes on historic social laws this country has passed. I think it shows very clearly a couple of truths that fly in the face of liberal lies. The first great lie that is so often believed in this country is that the Democrats are the party of civil rights. When Nancy Pelosi walked arm in arm with Civil Rights hero’s as though the... read more

Sending Hurt to Washington
Listening to the morning show I have been hearing the same nonsense over and over again. Here is a summary of what people keep saying. “My candidate lost, they were the only real conservative, I am considering voting for Parriello. This is insane nonsense. Robert Hurt may not be your favorite from the primary, but he is a far better candidate than Parriello for the job. That’s exactly what this... read more

The edge of gun rights
Our local tea party has been invited by the Dean of Liberty University’s law school to act as a host for a primary GOP debate amongst the various candidates. In thinking about this I have been pondering questions about gun rights, and the rights of the individuals to protect themselves and others. I personally have issues attending a tea party debate at a University that does not support individual... read more

Va 5th on the numbers
DISCLAIMER: If my numbers are inaccurate it is because the website I am using is inaccurate.. Please check for yourself After taking a peek at the congressional finance reports for the local candidates campaigns I am lead to draw some conclusions. Tom Parriello has already raised 1.6 MIllion dollars for this campaign. Its only May, which means he could raise another Million, or more before the general... read more

Conservative Myths
It is to often these days to hear people who are self proclaimed republican conservatives say “We have to be realists.” The entire concept that we must face reality, bow down to the status quo, and basically accept that we don’t live in a Jeffersonian society. Pen and Teller have a great word for this.. Bullshit. Yes it would be foolish not to admit that we live in a much more Hamiltonian... read more

How to balance the budget
This post will be very short as the answer to this problem is also very short. It is striking our law makers can not figure this out. It should not be surprising as their friends on wall street and in the corporate world have not figured it out either. In order to balance a budget of any kind, national, household, or otherwise a couple things need to be taken into consideration. You can not spend more than... read more

How they will discredit us
As the last Tea Party rally is over, some words by one of the local speakers continue to roll through my head. He said “all protests all the time is not leadership.” I could not agree more. Don’t get me wrong I think we need to protest as much as we are now, if not more in the coming months, and possibly years. That does not mean however, that simply making fun signs, listening to music,... read more

How to kill civilians
When looking back at history, at the atrocities that have often taken place, there is a theme that emerges. This theme is rather bleak, and speaks to the condition of humanity as a whole. How is it possible that the Nazi’s socialists could line up thousands of people and execute them. Men, women, and children all gunned down for no reason. How is it that those under the reign of Stalin’s... read more
