Livin’ in Obama’s Paradise

Audi\’s \”Green Police\” Super Bowl Commercial

When I saw this commercial, I didn’t think about buying an Audi. I thought this was a great illustration of the environmental left’s ideal society. It had everything our current adminstration could hope for:

• 100% government surveillance of citizens
• Punishment of those making choices distasteful to government
• Picking and choosing the winners and losers 

Yup. Implementation of Big Brother under the guise of saving the world.

How many years until we see “Green Police” on our streets?

Fighting Insurance Abuse, SB622

I prefer a free market to regulations, but until we can free the market from previous regulation, sometimes new regulations are required to provide balance. Senate Bill 622 is such an example.  Because I am a dentist, I know, and am affected by, this particular abuse intimately, but the principle applies to health insurance across the board, so I will explain the problem from my own Point-of-View. But if the insurance companies get away with this in dental insurance, you can expect it to become a more widespread problem.

Summit Meeting (Small Govt./Individual Liberty Organizations)

Tidewater Libertarian Chair, Robert Dean, addressing summit of small govt. & liberty organizations

 On Saturday, February 6th, the Tidewater Libertarian Party hosted a Summit for other organizations that focus on small government, fiscal restraint, and individual liberties. The purpose is to network and synergistically pool resources to reach common objectives.

 The following groups were represented:

• HR 9-12
• GOOOH
• Tax Payer Alliances from at least 3 cities
• The Constitution Party
• The Tidewater Libertarian Party
• Hampton Roads Tea Party
• The New Republic Patriots

(other groups also had a representative and will be added later)

Candidates running for office, current and past office holders also were present. Most of them spoke to the gathering. The last crowd size number I recieved was at 125 people. Fairly tight for our usual meeting place, Atlanta Bread Company on Phoneix Dr. in Virginia Beach.

More photos and commentary after the fold.

Happy Birthday to Ronald Reagan and to me.

Happy Birthday President Reagan. Thank you for standing as a fine example and allowing us to be unapologetically proud to be Americans again.

Yea, some of my Democrat pals…….and some Libertarian ones even, won’t appreciate Reagan’s time in office as I do. It isn’t just the fact that Ronald Reagan and I both share February 6th for our birthdays. I do see him as the finest president in my lifetime and a great conservative.

For those Reagan fans out there, I’d encourage you to watch some of his fine speeches on youtube or other places. It will bring back memories, reinforce what you remember to be true, and bring back some of those proud moments of the past.

Those that don’t like Reagan, well…….this post isn’t for you. I’m proud to share my birthday with him, so we can just leave it at that.

Cuccinelli/Cavuto – Forced Health Insurance Coverage to be Illegal in Virginia

Ken Cuccinelli, you are truly awesome! Already, you do Virginia and America proud! Between catching the Melendez loophole and this, Cuccinelli is just several steps above other elected officials. Also, a big thank you to everyone in the Va. GA that are making this step for freedom possible. – Britt Howard

The Coming Economic Boom

In just a few months, we will experience a great economic miracle as jobs become plentiful, the stock market regains much of its lost value and homes start selling again. The press will tell us of the magic of the Obama recovery and the proof of the wisdom of Keynesian Economics. And it will happen just in time for the November elections.

So, the question is, will we be fooled again?

Va. Beach – This Town Needs an Enema!

This town needs an enema!

Unfortunately, this isn’t a Joke!

Kids this weekend were shut off from a tradition I enjoyed for so many years growing up in Va. Beach.

Kids shut out of local tradition!

Closed – No kids sliding on Mt. Trashmore!!

Sliding or just rolling down a snowy Mt. Trashmore made for memories. Memories our children won’t share. The city has plenty of employees to man the blockades to make sure the citizens that paid for  Mt. Trashmore park, can’t use it.

Corporate Political Contributions: Another Reason to Decentralize Government

So the Supreme Court upholds corporations’ First Amendment right to free speech. They have ruled corporations are free to do what they wish with the corporation’s money, even contribute to political campaigns and candidates.

This has outraged many of our good statist/liberal friends who feel corporations should be restricted in their ability to contribute to the political arena. Now, I don’t like the idea of big corporations pouring money into political campaigns, but the restrictions our statist/liberal friends wish:

1) won’t matter/work

2) doesn’t address (as usual) the root cause of the problem

Haiti Needs Debt Forgiveness, Not More Debt

This was a letter I sent to the Congressional Black Caucus in regards to Haiti’s debt situation.
