Several days ago, I sent a message to the staff of my Representative, Bob Goodlatte (VA-6) regarding HR 1207, also known as the Federal Reserve Transparency Act. Specifically, I wanted to know the Congressman’s opinion on the legislation, and, if he agreed with such legislation, if he would sign on as a co-sponsor. This resolution [...]

One Less RINO
Posted in Political Musings, tagged Arlen Specter, Pat Toomey, RINO on April 28, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Well…I got home from work this evening and browsed the news. What did I find? Senator Specter of Pennsylvania has switched from the Republican to the Democratic Party. Really his departure comes as little surprise. After all, I would hardly classify him as a limited government conservative. Remember, he was one of three Republicans who [...]
Life and Politics in the Old Dominion
Posted in Virginia Politics, tagged Conservative, Virginia, Virginia Culture, Virginia Politics on April 26, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Recently a fellow by the name of Mark asked me if I could tell him a bit about life and politics here in Virginia. So, for the out-of-staters and the recently relocated, here are my impressions. To begin, I need to inform you that I don’t have a whole lot of experience living in other [...]
A Conservative Renaissance
Posted in Political Musings, tagged 10th Amendment, Conservative Politics, George Bush, John McCain, Limited Government, Tea Party on April 21, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
In recent times, there has been little for limited government conservatives, such as myself, to be happy about. If you will recall, back in 2000 Governor George W. Bush campaigned as a “compassionate conservative”, whatever that truly means. I always have assumed that conservatism, at its heart, is sufficiently compassionate as it promotes the ideals [...]
Saying Hello to SWAC Girl
Posted in Political Musings, tagged SWAC Girl, The Jeffersoniad on April 17, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I’m pleased to announce we have a new member in our happy conservative blogging coalition, The Jeffersoniad. For those who don’t know, The Jeffersoniad is a group of conservative and libertarian bloggers from across our great Commonwealth. In any event, may I present to you SWAC Girl. I first met Lynn Mitchell, the blog’s author, [...]
Tea Time In The Burg
Posted in Political Musings, tagged Harrisonburg, Tax Protest, Tea Party on April 14, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I received word earlier today that Harrisonburg will be hosting a Tea Party/Tax Protest tomorrow. Here are the details: 12:00 to 6:00 PM At the courthouse in downtown Harrisonburg. (Intersection of Route 33 and Route 11, aka intersection of Market and Main Street, aka Court Square) Think the government wastes money? Are your taxes too [...]
Forget Easter
Posted in Theological Questions, tagged Easter, Jesus, Passover, Resurrection on April 13, 2009 | 1 Comment »
To all my fellow Christian friends out there, I have what may sound as a radical suggestion for you…forget Easter. “What?!?” you might say. Don’t you think it is important to remember the resurrection? Absolutely. The resurrection is a cornerstone of the faith. As Paul reminds us “And if Christ was not raised, then all [...]
Recapping Bloggers’ Day
Posted in Political Musings, tagged Bill Bolling, Bob McDonnell, Ken Cuccinelli, Mark Obenshain, Project Virginia, Virginia Tomorrow on April 10, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Wednesday was the third annual bloggers’ day at the capital, Richmond, Virginia. The Lt. Governor sponsored the event, and, as such, we spent much of the day either with Lt. Gov. Bolling or his Chief of Staff, Randy Marcus. All said and done, there were about twenty of us who joined this adventure though some [...]
An Update In The RPV Chairman Struggle
Posted in Political Musings, Virginia Politics, tagged Jeff Frederick, RPV, RPV Convention on April 7, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I’d bet good money that you’ve heard the results of the RPV Chairman struggle. If not, on Saturday the State Central Committee voted to remove Jeff Frederick as Chairman. It was a close vote (well close in the fact that they voted 57-18, precisely the 3/4th vote that they needed). Rather than dwell on the [...]
McDonnell on the Trail
Posted in Political Musings, Virginia Politics, tagged Bob McDonnell, Governor 2009, Mark Obenshain, Matt Lohr on April 3, 2009 | 1 Comment »
As I had the day off on Tuesday, I joined the JMU College Republicans in welcoming Bob McDonnell to Harrisonburg. While driving to the university, I took a moment to reflect on the choice of location. Although an event at JMU would bring the students, it may have proven difficult for the locals to participate.
