Gun show loop hole and bovine testicles

Scott — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 11:26:27 +0000

I get so tired of people, mainly the Virginian-Pilot and other media outlets calling this the “gun show loop hole”. Its not a loop hole. The bill would have required prospective buyers to undergo an instant criminal background check before buying a firearm from a private seller at a gun show. -=SOURCE=- How can the General Assembly [...]

Cronyism is alive and well with Obama

Scott — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 16:19:41 +0000

Yeah it is. Obama administration this month awarded a $25 million federal contract for work in Afghanistan to a company owned by a Democratic campaign contributor without entertaining competitive bids -=SOURCE=- nepotism – favoritism shown to relatives or close friends by those with power or influence Obama said in 2008: “I will finally [...]

First Book of Government – On Obama

Scott — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 17:43:45 +0000

FIRST BOOK OF GOVERNMENT Obama is the shepherd I did not want. He leadeth me beside the still factories. He restoreth my faith in the Republican party. He guideth me in the path of unemployment for his party’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the bread line, I shall fear no hunger, for his bailouts are with me. He has a [...]

Rats off a sinking ship?

Scott — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 16:35:15 +0000

In what appears to be a growing movement, the Democrats are finally seeing the results of their failed agendas and leaving before they get beat. I disagree with the author’ “unnerving” adjective. I think its quite fulfilling. Four top Democrats—including veteran Sens. Chris Dodd and Byron Dorgan—all prepared to pull the plug [...]

What did he say?

Scott — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 16:20:00 +0000

Ok. I have to agree. This is pure gibberish. The question before me is whether I support the Democratic candidate’s position in addressing these issues. I have not thus far in the progress of the campaign, and as aforesaid refrain from so doing. Douglas Wilder concerning his support for Creigh Deeds. -=SOURCE=- That made my head [...]

Carelessnes or strategic incompetence?

Scott — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 02:16:30 +0000

Please note, that as of this evening, a CAPTCHA script has been added too the page. I should have grabbed a screen shot earlier before they installed it. It would appear that the Democrats have a security flaw in their website. The design person(s) were either careless and didn’t include any security system in the page or they planned [...]

This is just comical…

Scott — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 11:05:00 +0000

This was just comical to read. [...]

Can this woman answer a question?

Twitter and Facebook are in #FAIL mode…

Scott — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 15:34:48 +0000

UPDATE: Twitter being attacked… http://www.cnbc.com/id/32315027 Simultaneously? I’ve been getting network fail errors all morning on Facebook and Twitter just doesn’t seem to be there. Things that make you go hmmm… Could it be the servers are getting bogged down with Obamamatons spying on us Replublitarians? [...]

So is the Obamanation paranoid?

Scott — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 01:28:17 +0000

I believe they are. Big brother is watching and taking names. Collecting your email, chat messages, maybe even text messages. If you are a conservative, libertarian, former military, police, gun owner, Bob Barr or Ron Paul supporter, read certain blogs, write letters to the editor or are other wise “known” to be against things Obama [...]

United Socialist States of America – Fears realized

Scott — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 18:29:45 +0000

I can not be the only one who sees this. Is everyone else just sitting back and content to watch? Obama and his minions are trying to take the government and completely take over America. And it needs to stop. And no, I don’t feel like I’m exaggerating. When I was a kid, during the 60’s and early 70’s I had two recurring thoughts and [...]

Legislators want to control television now…

Scott — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 18:55:10 +0000

Ok. So that’s not really news. We’ve all heard about the “Fairness Doctrine”. But this is a little too much. New York State Assembly Minority Leader Brian Kolb, a Republican, is calling on the CEO of CBS to fire David Letterman for crude comments he made about Sarah Palin and her daughter. -=SOURCE=- While I think Lett [...]

My Congressman, J. Randy Forbes

When electeds intervene… In Portsmouth

Scott — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 21:52:23 +0000

Recent events in Portsmouth have caused me some amount of concern. A police officer developed a case that he felt warranted charges against 3 Department of Social Services personnel and a private citizen effectively charging them with “elder abuse”. The officer felt the care that was being provided by a volunteer caretaker was inadequ [...]

The PELOSI GTxi/SS RT Sport Edition MotorCar

Created by Congressional Motor Company, with design features by Barney Frank and Ted Kennedy. I guess we’ll all be driving one of these soon. [...]

Huckabee throws a rock into a pack of dogs and McAuliffe yelps

Scott — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 01:54:24 +0000

Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee made the following remark while stumping for Republican Candidate Bob McDonnell: And if that doesn’t work, well, flatten the Democrats’ tires and keep ‘em home, he joked. Like anytime you throw a rock into a pack of dogs, the one that gets hit yelps. And the Democrats’ candidate Terry M [...]

I may be a Domestic Terrorist, or militia member

Scott — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 22:15:46 +0000

… at least according to Missouri Law Enforcement. In an article written by Stephen Littau at The Liberty Papers, the author lists some of the criteria outlined by the Missouri Information Analysis Center and signed off by the Governor and Attorney General. You may find yourself considered an “enemy of the state”. Mr. Littau pens: - Y [...]

Obama’s publicity stunt (Which one?)

Scott — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 18:25:03 +0000

Jim Harper from CATO @ Liberty takes a couple of shots at Obama in a short, to the point article. Real transparency would include fulfilling his campaign promise to post bills online for five days before signing them. The president has now signed 10 bills into law and not subjected any of them to that five-day public review. -=SOURCE=- I agr [...]

Way to go Senator Lucas! -=UPDATED=-

Scott — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 12:45:09 +0000

UPDATE: It would appear that a Virginian-Pilot editor has taken on the illustrious Senator Louise Lucas. While I used the assinine lawsuit she filed against the city and compared it to the compensation city workers are losing, this writer has taken it to the streets. 1 dollar for ever citizen in Portsmouth. Outrage is justified. Even in a good econ [...]

Blogger sued over anti-candidate site

Scott — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 10:23:20 +0000

It would appear that another candidate is suing a blogger. This time it’s local in Hampton Roads. Responding to that deluge, the campaign Thursday filed a lawsuit in Virginia Beach General District Court that seeks to have the blog shut down and the identity of its creator revealed. -=SOURCE=- The blog is located here: Stop Pat Edmo [...]

Jeff Frederick being asked to resign?

Scott — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 02:16:45 +0000

It would appear that the RPV Executive Committee is going to or has put pressure on Chairman Jeff Frederick to resign his position. According to Bearing Drift: State central members say that asking Frederick to resign is not due to any political disagreements, but that poor fundraising, the loss of three congressional seats and the US Senate last N [...]
