Barack Obama’s Stealth Socialism
As part of its editorial series - The Audacity of Socialism - IDB provides us with some of the meaning behind the words of the great Messiah. Whether it’s “ensuring economic justice”, “guaranteed health care”, “free college tuition”, or “universal national service” Obama’s plans sound soooo nice. They will also lead us, not [...]
Kaine for Veep?
Bearing Drift tackles the potential Obama-Kaine ticket from a slightly different angle. If you think I’m tough on leftists, read here. DCH tackles the “religious faith” of both the Messiah and Kaine. Some folks may consider it bad manners, but the analysis is dead on.
Another interesting question posed by DCH is -
God [...]
McCain Ad Portrays Obama As Celebrity, Not Leader
I was a bit surprised when the Hedgehog Report thoroughly panned John McCain’s new ad. I think the point comes through loud and clear - Do we want a rock star or a leader? Do we want higher taxes? Do we want higher gas prices?
Kudos to McCain! America can’t afford Barack [...]
The PAC-14 Fiasco - Part IV…
… Why Do They Refuse to Answer Any Questions?
I’m going to start with the short answer –
Because they don’t want you to find out what they are doing!
But don’t stop there. You’ve been patient since Monday. Today is when we finally get to the real meat and potatoes of what Mike Pretl, Betty Crockett, Phil [...]
Steny Hoyer Is Right About One Thing
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer is right about one thing - people want a change. Unfortunately for Frank Kratovil, he’s not the change they want.
First District Republicans have already voted for a change. They voted for Andy Harris. There is no doubt that the voters will confirm that choice in November.
Rep. Wayne [...]
Can We Have Liberty Without Free Speech?
“Without Freedom of Thought there can be no such Thing as Wisdom; and no such Thing as Public Liberty, without Freedom of Speech.”
– Benjamin Franklin (writing as Silence Dogood, No. 8, 9 July 1722)

Bomb Throwing in the Virginia AG’s Race
Chris Obenshain has a great post at Bearing Drift on the escalation of attacks on AG candidate John Brownlee by supporters Ken Cuccinelli. While Obenshain doesn’t state it, I believe that this is a great lesson in attempting to meld principle with electability.
No conservative attacks Cuccinelli for his principles. However, the question of [...]
The O’Malley Judicial Saga Continues
Like Salisbury Mayor Barrie Tilghman and her continuing saga of the Larson family, Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley continues to attract unwanted attention in the way he selects judges. The only difference is that Tilghman has to make up her stories. Unfortunately for Marylanders, the O’Malley Judicial Saga is real.

The Webster v Albero Saga Ends
As noted on Salisbury News, the lawsuit brought by Salisbury Police Chief Allan Webster against Salisbury News publisher Joe Albero has been settled, hours before the trial was due to begin in Snow Hill. Albero could not comment other than to refer me to the lead of his post:
“The Parties have resolved their disagreement [...]
Frank Kratovil’s Friends Levy Tax on Workers
The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) has pledged to spend $150 million in the 2008 election. There’s just one problem. As David Anderson noted, the SEIU doesn’t have $150 million to spend on political activity.
Since the government wouldn’t give them the money - the lefty solution of choice - they’ve opted for another [...]
Democrat Partisanship Causing Disruption in Delaware Court
The federal district court in Philadelphia is coming to the rescue of Delaware’s federal court. Why? Senate Democrats refuse to act on President Bush’s judicial nominees, including his nomination of Delaware US Attorney Colm Connolly to the federal bench in Wilmington.
Given that Delaware is allotted only four (4) federal judges, the number of [...]
The PAC-14 Fiasco - Part III…
… Why Are They Meeting In Secret?
Do you want the short answer?
BECAUSE THEY’RE HIDING THINGS!
OK, now you can stop reading and go finish your coffee. OR… you can stick around and try to find out who’s hiding what.
First, we need to dispense with the question of whether or not they really are meeting secretly. The [...]
A Case for a Strong - Not Imperial - Executive
“Energy in the executive is a leading character in the definition of good government. It is essential to the protection of the community against foreign attacks; it is not less essential to the steady administration of the laws; to the protection of property against those irregular and high-handed combinations which sometimes interrupt the ordinary course [...]
Socialism - Not Big Oil - Is Cause of High Gas Prices
You’ve heard it all before. Big Oil is picking your pocket. Speculators are to blame for $4 gasoline. We need to drill less, and conserve more. We need to tax the oil companies more.
True to form, the Left can’t grasp why gas prices are so high because the refuse to acknowledge [...]
Why Won’t Virginia Allow Uranium Mining?
Nuclear power is on the rise. China, Russia and India have plans for a combined 159 new nuclear plants. Nuclear plants don’t run on coal. They need uranium.
Virginia is the home to an estimated $10 billion of uranium. Yet, Virginia’s government prohibits uranium mining in the Commonwealth. Why?
It can’t be [...]
