Maryland Conservative Petitions: Conservative Activism at its Best

By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary)  |  July 16th at 11:00 AM  | 

Maryland is such a liberal stronghold that Democrats could not possibly lose power, even if they tried their hardest to receive the pink slip from voters in the state.  According to Gallup, Democrats in Maryland enjoy a greater party ID advantage over Republicans than in any other state.  Yet a committed group of conservatives, led by freshman Delegate Neil Parrott(R-Hagerstown), have successfully spearheaded three petition | Read More »

The Immigration Policy of Absurdistan: Legal is Illegal; Illegal is Legal

By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary)  |  June 28th at 03:00 PM  | 

Imagine for a moment that a pack of strangers – ranging from hooligans to plain homeless – illegally entered your home and started raiding the pantry, stealing your possessions, stuffing up the toilets, and sleeping on your bed.  When you call the police to come down and remove them, you are told they cannot assist you because they lack the power to profile the unwanted | Read More »

It’s Official: You Must be an Eco-Socialist to Graduate in Maryland

By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary)  |  June 22nd at 11:25 AM  | 

It’s not like Maryland Democrats haven’t worked assiduously to earn the distinction of ‘least free state in the country‘ for their beloved Free State. Maryland high school students will now be required to pass green proficiency requirements in order to graduate.  The Maryland state board of education will  require public schools within the state to weave in eco-socialist propaganda to the general science curriculum.  Sadly, | Read More »

Tea Party Victory Against Illegals in Maryland

By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary)  |  June 1st at 08:33 AM  | 

Liberal politicians incessantly demagogue the issue of illegal immigration by offering a false choice between amnesty and a police style roundup of 12 million aliens.  Obama believes that without a pathway to citizenship, even a moat with alligators can’t preempt illegal immigration.   They always forget the third option; enforcing the laws on the books and not offering them hospitality that isn’t afforded to legal | Read More »

Maryland’s Energy is Gone With the Wind

By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary)  |  March 6th at 11:46 PM  | 

The first few months of 2011 have given rise to a resurgence in federalism.  States across the country are implementing their own legislation to circumvent onerous federal policies; ranging from immigration to environmental regulations.  Red states, bolstered by fresh conservative governors and majorities in their legislatures, are asserting their power to mitigate the effects of odious federal initiatives.  Unfortunately, blue states such as Maryland are | Read More »

It’s Official: Maryland is the Most Democrat State

By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary)  |  February 22nd at 01:48 PM  | 

Gallup just released their latest polling data on party strength in each of the fifty states.  They polled the respondents based on their party identification, not political ideology.  As it turns out, the most Democrat state (excluding DC, of course) is not Vermont, New York, or Massachusetts.  It is… Maryland!  That’s right.  Maryland is the state with the largest Democrat party advantage, at 22% over | Read More »

Maryland Democrats Trying to Steal Elections With Early Voting

By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary)  |  October 18th at 08:06 AM  | 

Most conservatives have long felt that early voting is unconstitutional.  The cornerstone of our democracy provides for free and fair elections.  The most basic execution of a fair election is to conduct competing campaigns and then provide for one day at the end of the campaign in which the voters cast their verdict on the race.  Ever since the Democrats began implementing early voting, a | Read More »

An Election Primer for Marylanders

By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary)  |  September 22nd at 11:15 AM  | 

As much of a lost cause that Maryland might be for conservatives, I would like to focus on some areas in the state in which we can make some progress.  I will start with Baltimore County in this post. Baltimore County has one of the most diverse political constituencies of any jurisdiction in Maryland.  This growing county of 800,000 has a staunch conservative area in | Read More »

Jim Rutledge for US Senate in Maryland

By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary)  |  August 31st at 04:10 PM  | 

It is quite a unique political phenomenon when 11 candidates are running for the Republican nomination for Senate in the deep blue state of Maryland.  It is even more special when one of those candidates is a passionate and articulate conservative, who has the gravitas and the energy to mount a serious challenge to arch-socialist, Senator Barbara Mikulski.  Jim Rutledge is the candidate running for | Read More »
