It was certainly a privilege and honor to have the opportunity to meet with the Governor and his staff yesterday at the Capitol. The issue of a new Transportation Bond issue, and the rather sophomoric explanation of how it isn't going to cost the State a thing was discouraging to say the least. Bonds are debt, pure and simple and regardless of how it is going to be repaid, or what terrific terms we are able to borrow this money, [...]
Part I traced the sustainable development movement to longstanding U.N. environmental and population initiatives with unmistakably Marxist goals. They talk about saving the environment, but most of the fine print refers to “equity,” “social justice,” “fair distribution” and other Marxist terms. “Global warming” is the latest scare tactic, but population control never left the scene. The U.N.’s answer: free condoms. As I said before, these people are nuts. The discredited work of Dr. Paul Ehrlich, population prophet of doom, and [...]
Source: Tuesday, 04 January 2011 00:00 James Simpson Exclusive to Right Side News: Listening to the local news on the radio recently, I heard a report about how newly elected Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz plans to save $8 million by, among other things, merging the “Office of Sustainability” with the Department of Environmental Protection and Resource Management. Office of Sustainability? In the county? According to the story, “The new agency will be renamed the Department of Environmental Protection and Sustainability….” The Department [...]
By Josh Pratt Significant political victories throughout the country at both the federal and state levels have wrung a deafening alarm to the liberal establishment that real ‘hope and change’ has come in the form of a social movement; a tsunami fed by multiple little streams of local influence called the TEA Party. TEA Party Patriots, 912 groups, and other liberty minded federations across the country brought to the American political experience a true grit grassroots brushfire that was a [...]
The tea party movement which sprang up overnight is still defining itself. That’s the natural flow of a movement that is bottom up- with many leaders of organizations, but not a single national top down leader. The movement, which has been described by some as “ants” because of the unified approach to issues despite no singular national communication chain, seems to be able to move together. The 2010 mid-term elections revealed a tension within the tea party movement. There is [...]

Today marks the 236th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party. So what does the Boston Tea Party and the Richmond Tea Party have in common? Lots! Let's reflect... Often times when we think of the Boston Tea Party, we only think of colonists, dressed as Mohawk Indians, dumping tea from the East India Company into the Boston Harbor to protest the taxes that were being imposed by the British Parliament. Our children enjoy acting out this raucous scene. But why were the [...]
