A New Must read for me

In addition to all my friends in the ODBA, I have just now stumbled upon Larry Miller’s website, PoliticalChristian.org  It is a very clean and well put together site and I’d recommend it to anyone for a Christian perspective on current events.

Mullins elected Chairman

I’m not going off on the same tangent I took when this all blew up. I will say that I will give him a chance and see what happens.

Jeb Hensarling – Calls it like he sees it

 

Jeb Hensarling has it right. Do we trust government to run these private enterprises? I don’t. I’d rather let an ethical CEO do the job he was hired to do than to let the Spender-in-Chief flush another tenet of our free republic down the toilet.

NOTE: The clip above also briefly mentions the complicity of Senate Republicans in this mess.

So, it’s only $11 million right?

In another example of old school, pork barrel politics, Boucher and the usual suspects (Warner and Webb) announce $11 million for a water resource project at the John H.

With all due respect to Congressman Goodlatte’s proposal to scrap the Internal Revenue Code, spending reform must be the first priority. After that, abolish the Fed and return a hard currency system to its rightful and Constitutional authority, Congress. Then and only then can we think to undertake reform of the deeply flawed and unconstitutional income tax.

As to Mr. Perriello, I will leave comment on his actions to the voters in his district.

Ok, I admit, I’m a big fan of Gretchen Wilson. She and Ashton Shepherd are the only female artists out there who will be around in 10 years. They’re real. On the other hand, I’m a baseball purists and  although I prefer the stadium organ to play it, this version is pretty cool. Check it out!!!

Democrat Energy Crisis

I’m a little late in posting this, but I must admit, this piece was well done. Makes you wonder what kind of shape the Dem nominee will be in come November.
