Wicomico Tax Dollars Supporting Marxist Doctrine
I know, it sounds a bit over-the-top. It also happens to be true.
While I seldom agree with Bill Duvall on matters of public education, he happens to be dead on in this post. The National Education Association (NEA) has always promoted a leftist agenda. Two of their latest forays into socialism are [...]
A Modest Proposal for Education Reform
Abolish tenure? Merit pay? End seniority as the primary basis for pay raises? Annual performance reviews that could result in dismissal? These are just some of the ideas emanating from Washington, DC - home of the nation’s most expensive and under performing public school system.
While an excellent idea, I don’t think [...]
Frank Kratovil’s Buddy is One of Top Congressional Porkers
Maryland 1st District congressional candidate Frank Kratovil has been crowing about his campaign’s designation as a DCCC-targeted race. His buddy, DCCC chair Chris Van Hollen is promising to pour all kinds of special interest money into Kratovil’s race.
We shouldn’t be surprised that Van Hollen is capable of funneling cash into Kratovil’s campaign coffers. [...]
Immigration Enforcement as a Market Mechanism
Thursday, the Baltimore Sun ran an editorial decrying Anne Arundel County Executive John Leopold’s crack down on illegal immigrants. My, oh my! We can’t arrest these poor people. We’ll promote anti-immigrant feelings!
Hogwash! These people are in our country illegally. What part of that word doesn’t the Sun and their left [...]

Virginia More Corrupt Than Maryland?
My friend and Red Maryland colleague Chet Dembeck produced an interesting post about the level of corruption in the People’s Republic of Maryland. Personally, I was more shocked that Maryland had been ranked 37th in 2004 than the fact that they were now ranked the 19th most corrupt state in the union.
What really shocked [...]
Fusionism Re-examined
Mark Newgent’s excellent piece in the Baltimore Examiner has much to recommend it. However, my friend and Red Maryland colleague misses one leg from the current conservative stool.
Newgent references the fusionism concept pioneered by Frank Meyer when he was with William Buckley’s National Review. At the time Meyer formulated his notion of fusionism, [...]
WCLCB - Two Cents for Socialism
In a recent post on the Wicomico County Liquor Control Board I was amazed to see this comment posted on Salisbury News:
I’m not hearing any reasons or logic in your post as to why privitization (sic) would be beneficial …just a lot of rethortic (sic). Nice try though G.A.
The commenter, “two cents”, has been a [...]
The Radical Left Hitting You in the Pocket and …
… At the Pump
The environmental left is thrilled that we might be paying $6 or more at the gas pump before the end of the year. They actually believe that if gas gets expensive enough that we’ll start riding our bikes to work everyday. Oh, but to live in San Francisco!
These folks are [...]
Jim Webb - The Commonwealth’s Hypocrite-in-Chief
Sen. Jim Webb (D-VA) seldom missed a chance to discuss his military service will running for office in 2006. Now that he is on the list of potential running mates for Sen. Barack Hussein Obama (D-IL), Webb claims that “we need to make sure that we take politics out of service.”
Stating that McCain should [...]
O’Malley Abolishes Independence Day
July 4th is no longer Independence Day in Maryland. Put away the flag, break out the bait. July 4th is now “Take Me Fishing Day” in the People’s Republic.

WCLCB - Dispensary Changes Not Feasible?
Without a doubt, Bill Clinton’s greatest legacy will be his affect on rhetoric. Ignore every fact placed in front of you and stick to your message. A letter to the editor in Tuesday’s Daily Times from former Wicomico County Councilman Victor Laws ignores every fact and sticks to the WCLCB’s message - we [...]

Their newest site is Let’s Get This Right.

The King of Borrow and Spend
Fiscal restraint means restraint on BOTH the taxing AND spending sides of the ledger… unless you are a member of the appropriating class or (evidently) Americans for Tax Reform. While I have always been an admirer of Grover Norquist, his folks over at ATR must be having a truly blond moment to name [...]
