That’s the determination of House Democrats yesterday, as they passed H.R. 1913, which expands the hate crimes laws to include crimes based on sexual orientation, including those whose speech “induces” others to acts of violence.  This was clearly aimed at those who speak out, proclaiming that homosexuality is immoral.  Despite claims from the Left that [...]

As we’re aware, there are states redefining marriage, mostly by judicial fiat.  The concern of those of us on the Right is always the “full faith and credit” clause of the Constitution.  This clause seems to state that a legal contract or license in one state must be recognized in all others.  This seems to [...]

After years of wrong votes and embarrassing his party, one of the biggest RINOs in Congress finally gets something right; Arlen Specter will switch to the Democratic Party for the 2010 election.  In his own words, the Democrat Party is more in line with his beliefs than the Republican.  This would be because the Republican [...]

This administration is in the process of stripping rights faster and further than any administration in our history.  They are violating rights by taxing specific individuals unfairly.  They are pursuing legislation to limit dissenting speech.  They are considering removing the protection from doctors to object to proceedures they consider immoral and against their conscience.  They [...]

That notion has come crashing down in just the space of one week.  Oh, I [...]

I was unable to make it to the Nashville Tea Party, being in the middle of the day and all, but I decided to make time to go to the one in Murfreesboro.  There is strength in numbers, after all, and today we are all one big number.  It was very encouraging to hear the [...]

Every year on tax day, I share my thoughts on taxes, spending and the IRS with Congressman Bart Gordon (D-TN).  I feel it my duty to keep him informed of how I feel regarding his policies.  I thought today, Tax Day Tea Party Day, I’d share it with you to encourage you to write your [...]

Last week, the Vermont legislature decided to allow gay marriage.  This, despite the fact that a majority of Americans believe it is wrong and should not be condoned.  This, despite the fact that no major society has survived long beyond allowing such perversion to occur openly.  You just have to wonder how low can they [...]

Polls always tell us that the military usually votes heavily Republican.  This past election was no different.  This is generally because the only government program the liberals are keen to cut is the military (you know, the only one mentioned in the Constitution).
Yet, when Obama made his recent “surprise” trip to Iraq, the mainstream media [...]
