It has always been the most precious of things since the beginning of life. It is our human freedom. In the entire history of mankind, it is Man's freedom that has been the rarest of treasures and, yet the most fleeting of gifts. And it is a gift. A divine gift and like all gifts, it can be cherished and protected or given away and forgotten. In our nation, it has been the divine gift that kept on giving. From [...]
In a legal dictionary, Advocacy is defined as the act of arguing in favor of, or pleading for something. The most common definition references groups or individuals who attempt to influence decisions and legislation made by political parties, social systems, and government units to respond to a particular cause, idea, policy, or group. Unfortunately, advocacy has been taken over mostly by progressives and extremists who use it as a way of advancing fundamental changes to our society. Many colleges have [...]
Thomas Jefferson proclaimed his stance on liberty when he wrote "I prefer dangerous Freedom over peaceful slavery". How do we feel about that choice now? Is freedom an eternal principle or is it only eternal until a good crisis comes along? Do freedoms only remain real if the conditions are right? Do we enjoy eternal principles only until someone gets sick and then they can be suspended for everyone? What about our rights and freedoms? Do we have them [...]
Unity. There's a belief that when all appears lost and our backs are truly against the wall, our huge differences dissipate like a phantom. Our nation overcomes in the end, through the power of unity. We unite and, in our unity, we beat down all enemies. It is the quintessential American way of beating the odds and finding a way to win. But this time, in order to win, we are being asked to separate, to disengage from one another, [...]
Oh Yes, elections really do have consequences. After the November election, we all braced for the deluge of bad laws. We knew the day after those November elections that Virginia was in for a horror show of damaging and dangerous legislation that would rain on us like hellfire. And yes, Virginia, we really do have subversive crazies who we used to see only occasionally on the streets and when they would be court ordered to a mental institution, we would [...]
Over the past several years, we have witnessed the proliferation of left wing groups in Virginia. With growing alarm, we watched the escalation of their aggressive intimidation tactics, and through it all, tracked the seemingly bottomless stream of money coming in from leftist billionaires, leftist organizations and even foreign governments (i.e. the Chinese). Armed with their bountiful resources, they found success in picking off elected offices in Virginia for over the last 2 years with candidates that were overtly inferior [...]
ere are several things you need to know if coming to the VCDL Lobby Day on January 20th.
Jack Wilson, The Republican Party and “The Last Straw” Reprinted with permission of Peter Churins, editor, The Charles City Conservative Newsletter At first glance the title is rather deceptive in that it has elements of ambiguity that could be construed from a number of perspectives, especially the meaning of “The Last Straw.” In a chaotic world of fake news, guile and deceit, it could imply a number of things. Two immediately come to mind. The first could allude to [...]
Over just the last couple of years, many saw the harbingers of the clear and present threats we witness today. We witnessed the torrents of dark money flooding Virginia from bad people and groups supporting bad candidates winning the last couple of election cycles. We watched as dangerous and subversive movements funded by dangerous and subversive billionaires went on the offensive throughout the state. We learned of foreign money pouring into Democrat campaigns and funding registration drives in immigrant [...]
