Should They Clean House at the NRCC?
Josh Kahn poses some interesting questions in his post regarding the state of the National Republican Congressional Committee. He then loses it all at the end.
The NRCC has NEVER been a great source of talent for winning campaigns. The same kind of cronyism exists there as in most other areas of politics. [...]
The Importance of the Heller Decision
Yes, we all want to keep our guns; but that is not what makes this decision so important. Andrew Langer of the Institute for Liberty explains the impact of this decision on ALL of us, whether we own guns or not.

Contrary to what many of us may believe, [...]
Kratovil Goes After Special Interest Money
While the story in this morning’s Daily Times might be filed under “Better Late Than Never”, we have to appreciate a few nuggets provided by Gannett’s local outpost. We all know that 1st District Democrat congressional candidate Frank Kratovil has been targeted by the DCCC. This means money and other support. What [...]
WCLCB - Did You Know? Part I
Did you know that the Wicomico County Liquor Control Board is using YOUR tax dollars to print some of prettiest, most expensive political ads you’ve seen recently?
The picture just doesn’t do it justice. We also might want to ask who did the lovely print job. It couldn’t have possibly been WCLCB chairman Stewart [...]
SPEAKING DEMOCRAT - Reasonable = Liberal, Activist
The new Democrat-speak. You need an interpreter to understand the rhetoric.
Reasonable = Liberal, Activist
Democrats will appoint reasonable judges to the courts.
Translation -
Democrats will appoint liberal, activist judges to the courts.
As the recent Heller decision illustrates, we can scarcely afford the appointment of any more reasonable judges to our nation’s courts.
Thanks to Rep. Thad McCotter [...]
Who is W. R. Witzke?
In Friday’s Daily Times we were treated to an oddity - a letter to the editor that was both well thought out AND very well written. It didn’t hurt that I was in full agreement with the author.
I don’t know if Witzke is a man or a woman. I don’t know whether he [...]
What Kind of Judges Would Mark Warner Vote to Confirm?
As we noted earlier, yesterday’s 5-4 Heller decision is as frightening as it is uplifting. Virginia’s voters should be particularly concerned.
What if Barack Obama is elected President? What kind of judges would he appoint to the federal bench?
Virginians can rest easy that former Gov. Jim Gilmore would only vote for strict constructionist judges. [...]
Why We Need A Dispensary Referendum NOW
A well thought-out and literate editorial in this morning’s Daily Times provides the answer. Our District 37 and 38 legislators lack the moral courage and political will to tackle this issue without the cover a referendum would provide.
A referendum is really not necessary. IF Wicomico’s state legislators wanted to abolish this antiquated system, [...]
Heller Decision - Like Getting Hit in the Face With a Bat
Imagine waking up this morning and finding out that you no longer had the right of free speech, or the right to assemble. A few minutes later the police kick in your door - WITHOUT a warrant.
In America? RIDICULOUS!
Yet, today of us are celebrating that the Supreme Court of the United States has [...]
Jim Gilmore - Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less
Former Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore, candidate for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by the retiring Sen. John Warner, has commended GOP presidential candidate John McCain for advocating lifting the federal ban on offshore drilling. Unlike his opponent, former Gov. Mark Warner, Gilmore realizes that drilling off of our coast will aid families who [...]

Gilmore Applauds Heller Decision ….
… Reminds Virginians of the Need for Strict Constructionist Judges
Former Virginia Governor, and current U.S. Senate candidate, Jim Gilmore hailed the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the District of Columbia’s ban on possessing a firearm as a victory for the Second Amendment. “Like all Virginia gun owners, sportsmen and hunters I am pleased by the [...]
Andy Harris Praises Supreme Court Decision
Maryland Sen. Andy Harris (R-7) praised today’s landmark ruling reaffirming our 2nd Amendment rights. For the first time United States history, the Supreme Court ruled that individual Americans have the right to own firearms for personal use. The ruling struck down the District of Columbia’s ban on handguns.
“Today’s ruling is a victory for individual [...]
The Right to Bear Arms - A Fundemental, Individual Right
In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court has overturned the now infamous DC gun ban and ruled that the right to gun ownership in an individual right. GOP Presidential candidate John McCain applauded the court’s decision affirming a “fundamental right”.
As usual, there are loopholes in the decision. The court left room for “reasonable [...]
