Roanoke Tea Party

It’s time to get to know Terry McCauliffe, the candidate running for Governor under the Democrat banner. We will be featuring stories on McCauliffe so you can get to know what the Commonwealth has in store if he wins the election in November.

Let’s start with Terry’s Green Energy record. McCauliffe is your typical Democrat on this issue and his behavior speaks to why these guys shouldn’t be in charge of the local dog pound…no less the Commonwealth’s government.

McCauliffe used to be involved in Greentech Automotive. As head of this green automotive company, McCauliffe chose to build a new manufacturing plant in Mississippi instead of Virginia. That of course is an interesting decision for a person who wants to be the governor of Virginia; and supposedly be focused like a laser on job growth in the Commonwealth.

But it is possible we are better off with Greentech in Mississippi. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

You'd Think The Dems Would Understand The KKK Since They Started It

We’ve discussed the attacks on E.W. Jackson. Jackson is sucking up a lot of the oyxgen in the hate race by the Democrats as they gleefully find videos of him expressing his opinion on a variety of issues. You know you are doing something right when the Daily Kos, (the leftist of leftist websites) describes Jackson this way,  “E.W. Jackson isn’t just an oppo researcher’s dream, he’s an oppo researcher’s mescaline-fueled fantasy bender riding on pegasus-back.

The reaction to the left of Jackson’s positions shows the chasm between the right and the left in this nation.

The lead of the linked video here is the CORRECT assertion that Planned Parenthood is more harmful to the black community than the KKK. Unless someone can show me stats that shows that the KKK killed millions of innocent black children, I think that one is an easy battle to win. I can’t wait to fight the Democrats on that issue and some of these other issues raised here.

But it isn’t just Jackson facing attacks from the left, the left is also trying to fit Mark Obenshain into the same extreme template. And there entry into that battle is ridiculous. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

As we learn more about the IRS and Benghazi scandals (amongst others) we come back to a fundamental difference between supporters of government programs and those that espouse liberty.

Liberals believe government is the solution to your problems. Lovers of Liberty see government as a necessary evil and should be minimized whenever possible. Because government will always look to expand their power at the expense of your liberty.

This isn’t a new battle, as overreach by the government goes back to the birth of the nation. Below is an article by Judge Napolitano detailing why limited government is really the answer.

It should come as no surprise that President Obama told Ohio State students at graduation ceremonies recently that they should not question authority and they should reject the calls of those who do. He argued that “our brave, creative, unique experiment in self-rule” has been so successful that trusting the government is the same as trusting ourselves; hence, challenging the government is the same as challenging ourselves. And he blasted those who incessantly warn of government tyranny.

Yet, mistrust of government is as old as America itself. America was born out of mistrust of government. Read the rest here.
