Dear Fellow Virginians,
Below is an Op-Ed I submitted which was printed in today’s Richmond Times Dispatch, I hope you’ll take the time to read it! There’s been quite a lot of talk about my letter to Virginia’s Universities – I hope this will clear up any lingering questions you may have on the subject.
Also included below is a letter to the editor which was published this week in the Washington Post – it’s a must-read.

After the Take the Town Halls to Washington Press Conference, Barack Obama’s cousin, Dr Wolf, tried to meet with his representative, Congressman Moore of Kansas. The congressman avoided meeting with Dr Wolf, who wanted to urge him to vote NO on Obamacare.
Thanks to O.P. Ditch for the Video!

This is so funny. The Coffee party pretends to be a group of people that want to “bring America together” and stop the arguing. They claim to be a diverse group of citizens concerned with the way things are going in Washington.
This video shows a group therapy session and makes it clear that these are simply Obama supporting Socialists unable to face the reality that America rejects their ideas.

A congressman from North Carolina is proposing that President Ronald Reagan be placed on the fifty dollar bill. Rep. Patrick McHenry contends that we need heroes for today:
“Every generation needs its own heroes,” McHenry also said. “One decade into the 21st century, it’s time to honor the last great president of the 20th and give President Reagan a place beside Presidents Roosevelt and Kennedy.”
McHenry states that Reagan is more deserving in that a recent WSJ poll of historians ranks Reagan 6th and Grant 29th most effective presidents. He further argues that:
“President Reagan was a modern day statesman, whose presidency transformed our nation’s political and economic thinking,” McHenry said in a statement. “Through both his domestic and international policies he renewed America’s self confidence, defeated the Soviets and taught us that each generation must provide opportunity for the next.”
I certainly agree. Reagan is much less controversial than Grant, who was the winning Union general and President who presided over a scandal-ridden administration. One Democrat from California cited the war as a reason for keeping Grant on the money: Continue reading REAGAN on the FIFTY? YES!

As I noted in my post from 3/3/2010 (The Coffee Party = Communist Obama Freeloading Friends Expanding Entitlements), the “Coffee Party” is a totally contrived Party of sour grapes liberals who see the Socialist agenda of their Kool-Aid master Obama slithering into oblivion. This contrived and feeble attempt to resurrect the Grass Roots movement Obama enjoyed before the country found him to be a liar is simply pathetic.
And laughable.
SWAC Girl points out just how pathetic the “mass” meetings were. Turns out, the line at McDonald’s was longer.
Perhaps the Coffee Party just needs a different clown as a mascot?

I was going to mention this earlier in the week, but it was well covered by the other Virginia Blogs, so I decided to wait a few days and post a reminder for all of you that made a mental note to check it out, but forgot.
It is the perfect Sunday afternoon to spend a few minutes reviewing the very first issue of Bearing Drift’s Magazine.
The premier issue appropriately features Virginia’s Governor, Bob McDonnell.
Jim Hoeft has managed to produce a magazine worthy of his work with Bearing Drift, the blog. This is absolutely a professional work. And Jane Dudley, Photo Editor has managed to complement the magazine with eye popping photographs.
A must see!

The Washington Post’s Dana Milbrink reports that Sen. Lindsey Graham of SC is trying to make a deal with President Obama:
Graham has provided Obama a way out of this standoff: Send KSM to a military tribunal in exchange for Congress abandoning legislation that would deny funding to close Gitmo. Next, the administration would work with Congress to create a “national security court,” which would govern how other current and future terrorism suspects can be held in preventive detention.
This was criticized rightly by Glenn Greenwald who suggested it might lead to something like Minority Report, the adaptation of the Philip K. Dick short story where the police receive telepathic indications of crime before it happens. But the real crime is having the venue of a criminal trial decided by political branches like a health care bill. Where is due process in all this? This invites intervention by the federal courts in a way injurious to the cause of justice. How would you like politicians deciding whether say you get tried by a jury or not? It’s outrageous.
Besides, Senator Graham is also involved in an intrusive effort that is more dangerous than the Dangerous REAL ID that the states beat back in an monumental political effort. It would require an ID card for all legal workers in the United States. Check this out from the New York Times:
In addition to opening a path to legal status for an estimated 11 million illegal immigrants, the bill Mr. Schumer and Mr. Graham are shaping would tighten enforcement against hiring illegal immigrant workers by creating a national biometric identification card for all workers, including American citizens and legal immigrants.
