The Emperor’s New Clothes

By |2024-07-17T08:27:12-04:00July 15th, 2024|Categories: Blog, Featured, Politics|

by Deborah Giffin, VATP Treasurer If you are not familiar with this particular Hans Christian Andersen fable, it involves a vain Emperor who is hoodwinked by a couple of scam artists who promise to provide the most incredible vestments to the Emperor. The cloth they create has magical powers; it is rendered invisible to fools and to those who are unworthy of their position. Of course, there is no cloth; the scammers engage in a show of creating invisible (non-existent) [...]

An American Party no More!

So, the question of what would the radical democrat left do if all the evil that they brought to bear against their political opponent somehow failed. The lines they have crossed already are particularly disturbing. Remember, the practice of calling in a mob of agitators to intimate and threaten your opponent while they are publicly dining was not a practice till Trump entered office. Then, suddenly these left wing hate groups began descending on helpless people, from kids who supported [...]

Endings of the Fall

Everything that we hold as good, everything that we believe as foundational principles, everything that we embrace as self-evident truths that has been the bedrock of our governance will be decided this year. One way or the other, all this uncertainty surrounding the governance of our nation ends this year. If things go badly, the Republic and all that has been good about our nation and all that has been great about our people ends. If the outcome is good, [...]

Advocacy as Fashion

by Deborah Giffin, VATP Chair of Direct Legislative Action (DLA) Have you ever gone back and looked at high school and/or college pictures of yourself? Do you notice how you look just like all your friends? Were you a hippie? Were you "goth?" Were you straight edge? Were you a skater? Identity while young is very tribal; you seek to find others who affirm you and with whom you find common ground. Chances are you are not the same person [...]

Just a Few things the sane and the good already know

Just a Few Things We Know Some self-evident truths to trigger even the most stalwart left-wing fascist. 1. We know that America has been the greatest nation in the history of world since its birth in 1776. 2. We know that the ideals of America were something to always strive for and though we failed many times to achieve that perfect state, those ideals have always remained that great goal for that more perfect union. 3. We know that [...]

It’s still the economy, stupid!

IT’S STILL THE ECONOMY, STUPID! by Deborah Giffin, VATP Chair of Direct Legislative Action (DLA) April 15, 2009 was the day for rallies in about 750 locations across the country. Since that day, the Tea Party movement has been active in many areas. At first, gatherings of like-minded folks rallied around the “Taxed Enough Already!” ideology. Large gatherings such as the 9.12 March on Washington energized a fellowship of mostly white, middle-class conservatives. As the movement matured it has [...]

American Phoenix Rising from the left’s Desolation!

So, what has America become? Are we still the land of the free and the home of the brave? Are we still a Constitutional Republic? Are we still that shinning city on the hill? Are we as virtuous as we used to be? Are we still the place where the good guys can win and the bad guys get it in the end? Are we still the good guys? Now we are witness to the tragic disunion of our [...]

Taking the Corruption Train to Georgia, woo, woo!

Every time we think the left has hit the lowest of lows, they forge ahead to descend to yet another level of lawlessness and subversion. There was a time when we thought of one another as Americans embracing self-evident truths and common sense for the good of our nation. Over the years, the left has descended into a cesspool of ever-increasing audacious criminal, subversive and insane behavior. We have been like concerned family members who are helplessly witnessing the [...]

Bankrupting Virginia—The reality of Democrat rule

By |2024-02-13T20:14:03-05:00February 13th, 2024|Categories: Blog, Government, Legislative, Politics|

A review of bills that are passing through the House and Senate shows that both houses are keen on spending your money in support of Big Government goals. If you thought years ago that you were Taxed Enough Already, the combined impact of the large-ticket bills currently under consideration will make your head explode. Each of the following bills individually is a big spending bill, but when combined with other bills, it creates a multiplier that boosts the overall spending [...]

Where there is injustice, there is no justice

Have you noticed that the question of what it would be like if the US ever became like Cuba, Venezuela or any other banana republic is rarely asked anymore. It is as if we don't need to ask that question. That question is not asked maybe because it has been answered in horrific fashion over the past decade. Remember the rioting by roving left-wing thugs attacking, burning, terrorizing, looting, and killing with impunity without any concern that there would be [...]
