Everyday, it seems that I receive another email announcing some other group or elected official who endorses George Allen’s Senate bid. More and more people are climbing aboard the Allen bandwagon, but I cannot get on board. As I’ve mentioned previously, I was a very strong supporter of George Allen back in 2006. During that [...]

The Light of Revolution
Posted in Political Musings, tagged 2012 Presidential Primary, Jordan Page, Music, Ron Paul on November 25, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
In a previous post, I shared two songs about Ron Paul written independently by the fans who love him. Today, I’ll like to offer another sampling of music. Sure, this song been around a few months; it has been available on iTunes since at least early October. However, if you haven’t been looking for Ron [...]
Hobbes & Occupy Wall Street
Posted in Political Musings, tagged John Locke, Leviathan, Occupy Wall Street, Political Philosophy, Thomas Hobbes on November 22, 2011 | 3 Comments »
Or, more appropriately titled, Life in the State of War Poor. The great political philosopher Thomas Hobbes had quite a lot to say about many subjects. In his work, Leviathan, he tackles desires, relationships, nature, power, religion and the government, just to name a few. However, I believe that there is rather an interesting parallel [...]
Voting on the BBA
Posted in Political Musings, tagged Balanced Budget Amendment, Bob Goodlatte, Justin Amash on November 18, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Like many folks, I too support the idea of a balanced budget. The federal government must get its finances in order to prevent the country from spiraling deeper into debt. Every state government except the socialist-leaning Vermont requires a balanced budget, so why should D.C. be any different? My Representative, Bob Goodlatte (VA-6), is working hard [...]
The “New” GOP Senate

During the election, you may recall the heated rhetoric on the need to “flip” the Virginia Senate so that conservatives would finally control that body. Well, earlier today the Republican Party announced the new leadership team now that the GOP has once again claimed control of the Virginia Senate. Personally, I’ve been looking forward to [...]
Super PETA Brothers 3

Using video games to promote a political or religious message isn’t a new concept. I’ve played a handful of them over the years on the Nintendo and Super Nintendo systems. In general, the common thread among them is that the programmers spend too much time promoting their message and not enough effort making a great [...]
9500 Liberty At JMU

I haven’t seen Corey Stewart in the city of Harrisonburg since he spoke to the Shenandoah Valley Tea Party back on February 24th. At that time, he spoke primarily regarding The Rule of Law Campaign, but also explained how George Allen was a poor legislator during his time in the United States Senate. Although I [...]
Marshall 2012?

Currently, five candidates are vying for the Republican nomination for the Senate seat currently held by Jim Webb. But could a sixth soon join the fray? As far back as two years ago, I began wondering if Delegate Bob Marshall would seek Virginia’s Senate seat again. After all, in 2008 he came within a handful [...]
An Evening With McCormick
Posted in Political Musings, tagged 2012 Senate Race, Bridgewater College Republicans, David McCormick, Shenandoah Valley Constitutional Conservatives on November 10, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
A few moments ago, I returned from Bridgewater College where U.S. Senate Candidate David McCormick spoke to the Bridgewater College Republicans. Now, this meeting was important for several reasons. First, it heralded the return of the CR organization to the campus. When I worked for the Republican Party of Virginia back in 2006, I was [...]
