Post Bombshell: Conservative Candidate Actually – gasp – Conservative!

Politicos, pundits and armchair campaign managers around the country are keeping a close eye on this year’s gubernatorial contest in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The stakes couldn’t be higher. In fact, many analysts believe this race (among others) may forecast things to come in the 2010 and 2012 elections – up to and including the battle for the White House.

Big Brother-Care Looms Large

It’s socialized medicine vs. the private sector. How does the former match-up to the latter? Well, by way of an ill-advised postal services analogy, our inspired physician-in-chief has gaffed upon the answer: “UPS and FedEx are doing just fine,” he observed, “It's the post office that's always having problems.”

Sex-Change-apalooza

I got a call a couple days ago from a producer with MSNBC. He wanted a hard copy of a press release I sent out entitled: "ObamaCare Likely to Mandate Free 'Sex-Change' Surgeries." In the release I addressed the likelihood that, under Obama's monolithic socialized healthcare scheme, taxpayers may well end up funding elective and entirely cosmetic "gender reassignment" surgeries. I was happy to oblige and asked which program he produced. "Rachel Maddow," he reluctantly divulged. I chuckled and joked, "Oh, I'm sure Rachel will give me a glowing review."

ObamaCare Likely to Mandate Free “Sex-Change” Surgeries

Washington, DC – When asked by Senator Orin Hatch (R-UT) whether President Obama’s proposed socialized healthcare plan will mandate taxpayer funded abortion, Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) admitted that it will require “any service deemed medically necessary or medically appropriate.” It now appears that the plan’s “medically appropriate” umbrella is far more expansive than most Americans could have imagined.

What Americans Need to Know About The Healthcare Takeover

We recently saw an overview of the healthcare bill being debated in Congress (HR 3200). We found the overview so alarming that we doubted its accuracy, so the staff in our D.C. office compared it to the voluminous bill.

Obama’s Moral Clarity Deficit

Relativism is as relativism does and Barack Obama does it well. His less than tepid response to evidence of a rigged election in Iran a few weeks ago and the subsequent brutalization of the Iranian people by an Islamofascist regime says more about our President’s worldview than it does his foreign policy.

“Gays” in the Military: Bad Idea Then, Bad Idea Now

Most are unaware that during the Revolutionary War George Washington was a staunch advocate for allowing "gays" in the military. In fact, he boldly commissioned the little-known "Fabulous Pink Brigade," which once infiltrated a British camp and -- while the redcoats slept -- covertly redecorated in eye-popping pastels.

Congress Should Repeal, Not Pass Hate Crimes Laws

Author and educator Peter S. Drucker wrote, "When a subject becomes totally obsolete, we make it a required course." Congress takes the inanity a step further. When a subject becomes totally obsolete, they make a law.

Repeal All “Hate Crimes” Laws

Lynchburg, VA – The U.S. Senate is preparing to vote any day on S. 909, a bill that would grant specially preferred government status to a select few citizens based on the behaviorally driven, fluid and undefined concepts of “sexual orientation” and “gender identity;” this, to the express exclusion of other citizens.

Barber Commends Leading “Gay” Activist for Admitting “Hate Crimes” Bill a Sc

Lynchburg, VA – Matt Barber, Director of Cultural Affairs with both Liberty Counsel and Liberty Alliance Action has commended Andrew Sullivan – one of the foremost leaders in the homosexual activist movement worldwide – for publicly admitting that “hate crimes” bill S. 909 is, among other things, simply a money making scheme drummed up by the organized homosexualist lobby.

‘Hate Crimes’ Bill is Full of Swill

Senate sponsors and liberal activist proponents of the federal “hate crimes” bill, S. 909, have been caught in a series of bald-faced lies. So confident am I of this, that if they can prove me wrong (for real I mean – you know, with evidence and such) I’ll join their little soirée, don a very large pink evening gown and publicly voice support for the legislation.

Perez Hilton: The Foul Face of “Gay” Activism

Warning: This article contains graphic but accurate material that may be offensive to some readers. You may have heard. During Sunday’s Miss USA pageant openly “gay” activist and pageant judge Perez Hilton – the self-styled “Queen of Media” – ambushed Carrie Prejean – the openly Christian Miss California – with a politically loaded question on so-called “same-sex marriage.” Prejean’s candid answer – as both Hilton and Miss USA organizer Donald Trump later admitted – likely cost her the crown.

The Republican Party: Lost in the Wilderness

After Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt, they rebelled against God and were made to wander aimlessly in the desert for 40 years on a needlessly roundabout journey to the Promised Land. God kept the coveted prize out of reach until that rebellious generation passed.

“Gays” Call for Violence Against Christian Supporters of Prop 8

Lynchburg, VA – In a stunning reaction to the passage of state constitutional marriage protection amendments in California, Arizona and Florida, several self identified homosexuals on a number of homosexual blogs are advocating violence against Christians and other supporters of traditional marriage. Additionally, some homosexuals are calling for church burnings in response to yesterday’s three state referenda in defense of natural marriage.

You’re an Angry Feminist?  That’s so Cute

With winds of change rivaling Hurricane Ike, John McCain’s historic VP pick of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has blown away the left’s mask of “inclusive tolerance,” exposing an ugly and desperate countenance below. Flummoxed and frantic, their shameful attacks on Palin and her family have revealed that liberal Democrats, the mainstream media, and those malicious hacks in the “progressive” blogosphere are willing to navigate the deepest, darkest sludge of slash-and-burn politics to see their man, Barack Obama, elected President.
