Democrat Compassion Is Destroying Us
By: Thad Hunter (Diary) | May 23rd at 11:04 PM |
Compassion, social justice, etc. is a pernicious tactic that is being increasingly used by Democrats. It is an attempt to co-opt the Church’s teachings for political ends and Republicans must be prepared and willing to confront this rhetoric head on. I can offer two recent examples from Virginia politicians Tim Kaine and Jim Moran: Former Virginia Governor Tim Kaine, a Democrat running for the U.S. | Read More »
President Barack Obama, Exploiter in Chief
By: Thad Hunter (Diary) | February 29th at 08:52 AM |
This is Black History Month, which raises an interesting question, are Black Americans really better off in the economy that he crashed with job killing spending and “free” healthcare which no one knows how to pay for? No. But upper and middle class union members in the Public Sector are better off, actually they are doing great. Can’t you just hear them say it? “Taxpayers | Read More »
President Obama’s Time Of Choosing
By: Thad Hunter (Diary) | February 25th at 08:56 PM |
President Obama’s silence regarding Iranian Pastor Nadarkhani is more than many Americans can stomach. Especially in light of continued pandering disguised as apologies while our servicemen are being murdered. The U.S. military and America have nothing to apologize for. Silence from our self-anointed keepers of the First Amendment on the Left is expected. Another Christian who will not bow may be killed. To start, he | Read More »
Social Conservatives are the Fiscal Conservatives
By: Thad Hunter (Diary) | February 24th at 08:45 AM |
Tim Kaine predictably lectured Virginia about those troublesome social issues this week. Of course Gov. Kaine has never shied away from applying his rubric of social justice to government policy. No doubt he is perturbed that his strategy is not working so well according to Rasmussen and Christopher Newport University polls this week. Perhaps he could debate George Allen on matters such as adequate energy supply | Read More »
Ann Coulter Deserves an Answer
By: Thad Hunter (Diary) | February 23rd at 01:33 PM |
Yesterday Ann Coulter asked WHAT’S THEIR PROBLEM WITH ROMNEY? Here is one answer. We are tired of the political class informing us who is electable? Electability is determined by collecting actual votes from a broad a cross section of America. Romney’s machine tried to cut the process off at Florida, which makes him appear weak. His Super PAC exceeded the limits of criticism and contrast | Read More »
Bob McDonnell Rolling the Dice, But A Lesson Learned for the Rest Of Us
By: Thad Hunter (Diary) | February 23rd at 09:45 AM |
For now I’m inclined to give Gov. McDonnell the benefit of the doubt on this one. However, if the Virginia Senate does not pass a compromise, then that is going to be an unrecoverable problem for him. A compromise is still progress. The lesson here is that we relied on a legislative majority and failed to adequately present a coherent public rationale. Even obvious hypocrisies | Read More »
Why Oh Why Didn’t Mitt Turn Romneycare Into A Positive?
By: Thad Hunter (Diary) | February 21st at 10:02 PM |
I never thought that Mitt Romney would have defended Romneycare. Instead of being the weakest candidate on this issue, he could have been untouchable. Here is a simple presentation: Yes, we tried the individual mandate. In those days, other Conservatives accepted the personal responsibility argument instead of the Constitution, our mistake. Massachusetts was the optimal state to try this experiment. We have a sophisticated healthcare | Read More »
