Where public policy meets common sense
Posted in Conservatism, Stuff on Dec 6th, 2011
Jeffrey Lord of American Spectator has written one of the most important articles on the Left’s demonization of conservatives I’ve yet to read. Basically, the conflict is, as William Buckley put it years ago, between God and Man (atheism and faith); individualism and secularist collectivism. In other words, it’s involves basic core principles and is [...]

Updated: I misunderstood the vote to defy the state. It is only for the weekend. I apologize for my error. The post is updated to reflect the change. Preferring to create a confrontation with a friendly administration, the membership of Occupy Delaware turned down the offer to go to Brandywine Park until Sunday evening. This [...]

The City of Dover is setting the pace for the state. Dover banned bath salts before the rest of the state. Dover is rejecting the idea of tax first then find cuts. Dover is beginning a systematic review of all vacanies, commissions, major contracts and soon a performance audit of city government. A new economic development [...]

I know you read them too. Obama has a secret plan to Islamize America by the end of his second term. Why isn’t John Boehner investigating the serial forger (birth certificate) in the White House? Obama (who doesn’t even want to jail terrorists) has a secret plan to round up conservatives into FEMA camps located [...]

Freedom of speech is one of our Founding principles. It was included in the First Amendment to the Constitution. Clearly freedom of speech was upper most in the minds of the Founding Fathers. This freedom allows us to discuss the issues of the day, without the fear of reprisal from our government. Throughout [...]

With the implementation of a Conservative Revolution within Sussex County’s Republican Party in Delaware, can Delaware’s Republicans expect further changes in the GOP. It would seem that an ideological conflict still rages within the ranks of Delaware’s Republicans. Many believe the new conservative movement in America and Delaware, was largely fueled by the Obama Administration’s [...]

Update: Former Secretary of Education Bennett wrote this fine article on the subject. It coincides well with mine. Unless you were in a media blackout this weekend, you know pop singer Amy Winehouse died this weekend. Friends claim it was an overdose from a deadly cocktail of alcohol and drugs. Her mother has said for [...]

Chairman Urquhart of the Sussex County GOP Committee released a statement today titled, “Why Ban The Faith That Gave Us Freedom?” The “radical transformers” seem bent on stamping out cherished and vital traditions. Having tried to expunge “Easter,” they’re now attacking prayer before Sussex County Council meetings. All that’s left is attempting to force the [...]

What a time to remember and rededicate ourselves to being a free people. We are celebrating Freedom Month, which is highlighted by the passage of the elegant Declaration of Independence. It laid out not only the case of grievances against Great Britain, but for Human Rights in general. We hold these truths to be self-evident, [...]

I am always intrigued by the bureaucratic technique of attempting to manipulate elected officials to stay out of their way. There is a great book spun off of a popular TV series called Yes, Minister and its even better sequel Yes, Prime Minister set in Britain. When I listen to the Dover budget hearings, I [...]

Protack and Ayotte have been sweeping though Sussex County like a steamroller gathering speed. Monday’s 35th District Meeting at Cindy’s Green’s finished garage, in Greenwood was a sweep for both Michael Protack and Don Ayotte in a straw poll. Michael Protack and John Sigler are candidates for the position of Republican State Chairman. Donald Ayotte [...]

Well can a hack blogger win political office? He/she can if they have the team that I did with the right message and is a candidate who has been involved in the community. While my political registration was out of the mainstream of my district, my values, concerns, and solutions were right at the heart [...]

Governor Chris Christie reaffirmed his pro-life position earlier in the year in a speech to a pro-life group marking Roe. v. Wade. Shawn Hannity mistakenly told a priest on his television show that the Governor was pro-choice. His Supreme Court pick seems to back up his pro-family record. Another group, Conservative Commandos is calling Christie a [...]

After years of talk about a new culture in Washington, it has finally happened. The third party on Capitol Hill, Washington’s gray-haired conservatives used to grumble, was the “Appropriators Party” — an autonomous, bipartisan bloc of obdurate spenders and shameless porkers who marched in lockstep with their committee leaders and were rewarded with the choicest [...]

There is a serious minded conservatism represented by people like Paul Ryan and Pat Toomey. I think it takes all types, the bomb throwers and thinkers, the policy wonks and the emotional lightening rods. A strong movement will appeal to the mind and the heart. We must not let conservatism become anti-intellectual nor must it become [...]

With an eye on the chaos ending and republican business once again resuming at the Sussex County Monthly GOP meeting, far more than a handful of committeepersons have signed a petition asking for Ron Sams resignation. The committee is divided with the majority of the quorum asking for the chairman’s resignation. This in itself has [...]

You may want to read this guest opinion in the Wall Street Journal. By RAND PAUL After Republicans swept into office in 1994, Bill Clinton famously said in his State of the Union address that the era of big government was over. Nearly $10 trillion of federal debt later, the era of big government is [...]

Since I’ve announced my candidacy to run for the Delaware Top GOP Position, I’ve been asked to expand and explain my platform of unity and administration transparency. Fair enough! The problem that exists in Delaware’s GOP is not a single issue but is the result of a, “Good Old Boy” policy that goes back farther [...]

GOProud is a gay conservative organization. It had a booth last year at C-PAC. This year it became a participating organization involved with planning. The result has been boycotts by several organizations. It appears it is not just the GOP which has internal struggle. The movement itself does. I am not sure of the motivation [...]

I really wanted to avoid this. On Tuesday night at the Hilton in New Castle there was considerable Christine trashing for the loss of the Treasurer’s Office and the loss of Delaware House of Representative seats. (Yes we will pay and pay for the latter.) I thought the critique was premature and unfair. We need [...]

I want you to go here and view the Pro-Family score Cared by the Delaware Family Policy Council. You will see both Federal and State issues and the candidate stands on them. The contrast between Coons and O’Donnell and Carney and Urquhart is stark. Chris Coons and John Carney refuses to even say tax money should not [...]

Where does Natural Law, the 10 Commandments, our Republic, and Glen Urquhart come together? Since man’s beginning we have had to deal with weakness and vulnerability. Moses and the 10 Commandments(1200 BC) helps, Natural Law helps, and Religion plays a key roll. One tends to overlook religion’s sustained importance in making our Republic work. The [...]

“T-Party”/Mainstream lost confidence in Country’s direction!! One thing for sure the movement has conveyed the message-America is unhappy. As scientists and others have pointed out, finding, or identifying the primary obstacle to progress is the key. America faces a long to do list: jobs, education, defense, healthcare etc., and a host of others. But, what [...]

Every society is based upon certain majoritarian assumptions.Such assumptions in a free society are starting points not a straight jacket. While this is true of every society, some are threatened by the idea America too has such a starting point. The second part of this discussion is once you get beyond certain hot button [...]

There seems to be a major cultural disconnect between those who want a secular state and those who believe in traditional American values. When discussing the issue of returning to the governing principles of the Judeo Christian ethic some hear establishing some theocratic Christian state where Christians rule and others are tolerated. Christians hear the [...]

Radical Democrat Congressman Peter Stark-CA was asked a simple question by one of his constituents. What limits would remain on the federal government if Congress could get away with passing a bill as destructive of individual rights as Obamacare? Congressman Stark gave an answer which even shocked his constituency. “I think that there are very [...]

A new force has roared on to the scene. It is not replacing any conservative organization in the state. It is serving the existing ones. It is providing a forum for people who value free markets, small government. and a family friendly culture. The organization is a conservative coop. It is not about one or two people [...]

I loved it. The Delaware Conservative Coalition worked. Between 1200 and 1500 people showed up to the middle of where? Outside of Houston, Delaware in the middle of July to an event with little advertisement. Fliers, the guide, coalition emails to members, the blogs, Facebook, and WGMD. It was big. It was great political theater. Over 1200 people [...]
