National Conservative Leaders Endorse Feda for Congress

Here is the most recent press release I can find from the Morton campaign.
It appears that the conservative wing of the RNC has noticed Feda Morton.........I would suggest that indicates a fear of Robert Hurt's lack of ability to beat Perriello next fall, as well as their confidence in Morton..........I also know that Blackwell and Terry were opposed the the RINO Michael Steele from the beginning, which I think demonstrates their conservative dedication and credentials.............anyway, no point speculating;
Here is the press release.

*PRESS RELEASE*

National Republican Leaders Endorse Morton for Congress

PALMYRA, VA - Congressional candidate Feda Morton announced today that her campaign has received the endorsement of two Republican National Committee members. National Committeeman Morton Blackwell of Arlington, and National Committeewoman Kathy Hayden Terry of Botetourt, agreed that Feda Morton is the Virginia GOP's best hope to replace liberal Democrat Congressman Tom Periello with a principled and proven conservative.

Blackwell is one of the longest-serving members of the Republican National Committee, having first been elected in 1988. In 2004, Blackwell was elected to the RNC Executive Committee. Blackwell served in the Reagan White House; his education and training center, The Leadership Institute, has trained a generation of conservative candidates and grassroots activists.

"I've known Feda Morton for years," said Blackwell. "She is a conservative's conservative who will not compromise her principles when she gets to Washington. Feda's commitment to limited government and an America as envisioned by our Founding Fathers is unwavering. Feda will be a true conservative leader in Congress."

Kathy Terry has been a fixture in conservative and Republican politics in Virginia for quarter century. Previously to serving on the RNC, Terry was a longtime member of the Republican Party of Virginia's State Central Committee.

Terry mentioned her years of working side-by-side with Morton as a grassroots conservative activist. "Feda understands the conservative grassroots of Republican Party because she is a part of that grassroots. Feda has never shied away from standing up for her beliefs; she has been a tireless advocate for the conservative principles of life and liberty, and she will continue to do so in the House of Representatives."

Feda Morton said she was honored to have the support of these two national republican leaders. "Morton Blackwell and Kathy Terry are known and respected leaders of the conservative movement and the Republican Party, both nationally and here at home. These two know the type of candidates our Party needs to nominate for Congress if we are to be victorious in 2010. Their endorsement of my campaign is a strong signal to those who share our conservative principles, and those who want to see our Party again fully embrace those principles in the future."

Blackwell and Terry join other noted conservative leaders in endorsing Feda Morton's campaign for Congress. Earlier this week, Mike Farris announced his endorsement of Morton. Farris is the founder and Chairman of the Home School Legal Defense Association, a group dedicated to the protection of the rights of home educators across the nation.

Feda Morton is seeking the Republican nomination for Congress in Virginia's Fifth Congressional District. She teaches AP biology at Fluvanna High School, is a former state championship basketball and track coach, past Chairman of the Fluvanna Republican committee, and twice elected to the Fluvanna School Board.

Equality Virginia Pushed Robert Hurt's SB 945

Senator Hurt voted for SB 945, a bill to legalize extending employer health care provisions, normally reserved for family members, to "domestic partners" of homosexual employees.

This bill is mentioned by Equality Virginia, the largest GLTB group in Virginia, as one of its top legislative priorities;

Robert Hurt should never have voted in favor of this attack on the family, a bill intended to elevate the "domestic partner" to the same legal status as a spouse, in a Republican-controlled state that only three years ago passed a Constitutional Amendment defending traditional marriage!

Gotta love our principled Republican leaders, don'tcha?

Republicans, this is a time for choosing..........which values we believe in, because I assure you they are antithetical to each other;
You can't have this one both ways.........

This race really does resemble the NY-23 in a remarkable manner, does it not?
The establishment tax raising, soft-on-traditional-values candidate, around whom the NRCC has circled their usual wagons, and a truly conservative alternative Republican, whose lifetime of grassroots conservative activism, elective office, and years as a Republican chairman is apparently sneered at by the powers that be in Washington.

The Hill Doubts Robert Hurt on Taxes

.........listing the 5th district race as one the top ten conservative conundrums of 2010

Scozzafava's NRCC Ready to Endorse Robert Hurt?

The NRCC is apparently ready to betray their recent insinuation that they are not going to intrude in any more Republican nomination battles by supporting Largest-Tax-Increase-In-Virginia's-History-Hurt over other far more conservative candidates.

The following excerpt from the link story would be quite funny if it were not so irritating:

The national Republican Party has gotten behind the primary candidacy of state Sen. Robert Hurt, R-Chatham, pointing out that he has a proven ability to win elections that cover large portions of the district’s southern half.

Proven ability?
The NRCC quite conveniently forgets to note that Senator Hurt's ability to win in Southside has been garnered in races with either no opponent, or only token opposition after an uncontested Republican nomination process.
I suppose even I could accomplish quite a winning record in several slam-dunk races.............hardly an indicator of electoral strength.

I seem to recall they also thought another tax-raising Republican would be a winner too..........anyone remember Dede Scozzafava?

Regardless, any Republican can win in the southern 2/3 of the 5th district.
Hurt's wins down there hardly indicate his political strength.

If Perriello beat Virgil Goode, with his stellar record, is there any safety in the foolish assumption that a Republican who voted for the largest tax increase in our history, and an unconstitutional tax increase(HB3202) will fare even as well, much less any better?

Perhaps the fact that the NRCC thinks Hurt is a proven winner explains how they could think Scozzafava was a winner too.
With their success rate, if they really want Hurt to win, the best thing they could do for him is to keep their mouths shut...........but go ahead, make my day!

I want a real conservative.

Robert Hurt is Perriello's Dream Opponent

Tom Perriello, having voted twice this year for some of the largest tax increases in America's history in Cap and Trade and Obamacare, would love nothing more than for 5th District Republicans to give him an opponent whose track record on taxes nearly mirrors his own.

The Democrats have learned what Washington Republicans apparently have not, that liberal Republican nominees usual produce Democrat victories.
Often, as in NY-23, the liberal Republican turns on their "friends" and actually assists the Democrats to prevent a conservative from winning.........Scozzafava, Specter, Snowe, Collins, Chafee, Jeffords.......need I say more?

Dede Scozzafava showed her appreciation for her coronation by Republican cronies by turning on them and handing the election to the Democrat.

Similarly, Robert Hurt turned on his Republican friends in 2005, voting with Mark Warner to pass the largest tax increase in Virginia's history.
At the time, not only did Virginia have a $1 billion budget surplus, but Preston Bryant and Robert Hurt took fifteen other wayward Republican delegates with them to cross the aisle and vote with the Democrat minority to pass this bill!
In other words, their treachery is what gave the Democrats the votes to pass this bill in a Republican-controlled House of Delegates!

The deal allowed Warner to get a tax increase far larger than he even asked for!
Robert Hurt's inexcusable action put Virginia taxpayers on the hook for the largest tax increase ever in Virginia, and made a hero of Warner, who then took all the credit for balancing the budget with the "extra money", leaving the state with the surplus.

The dirty little secret is that Virginia's constitution requires the budget to be balanced when a governor leaves office.......Warner had no choice but to honor that requirement, and no tax increase was needed.
With a 1 billion dollar surplus, it is clear that the only thing accomplished by Hurt's tax increase was to ensure a fleecing of Virginia's citizens, and that Mark Warner would use revisionist history of this act to become U.S. Senator a few years later.

Word has it Washington insiders have made it clear to 5th District leaders that they want to reward Robert Hurt for this terrible judgment with a nomination for congress;
I seem to recall that their most recent meddling episode produced a Democrat congressman in NY-23 who just broke four campaign promises within the first hour of his swearing-in.

This author submits the humble opinion that Robert Hurt, having given away the moral and political credibility with which to call Perriello into account for his tax and spend record, would take away the best hope Republicans have of using Perriello's tax and spend record to bring him down next year.

5th District Republicans would do well to use a convention method of nomination rather than primary, as that would all but ensure the inability of Washington elitist Republican leadership to bring their impressive ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory to bear in the 5th.

If the goal is to defeat Perriello, Hurt is clearly not a safe bet.

Tom Perriello Seals His Fate With Vote Against Freedom

As Tom Perriello voted away his congressional seat on Saturday with his vote for Obamacare, his actions leave me a little surprised;

Not in the sense that he would vote for something this destructive, nor that he cares nothing about the continued existence of Freedom and Liberty in the world; for indeed, if freedom and liberty die here, there is nowhere else to turn.....we are the last man standing in the world.

But what surprises me is that Perriello is willing to trade his congressional seat for the chance to make Nancy Pelosi happy.......or is there more to it than simply pleasing The Halloween Mask.

What sane human would vote for something so unpopular with his constituents that it all but guarantees he will never again visit Washington, DC as an incumbent congressman after next November?
No, he has been promised something; A cabinet post perhaps......an appointment as a Czar of some sort, in case of political suicide?

We may never know, but one thing is certain;
Mr. Perriello cares not a whit what his constituents think, nor does he care about the Constitution;
He has no scruples, no morals, no principled positions that he will not sell for a price;
His convictions are limited to only his latest political whoredom.

That an American citizen can so easily betray his country with this vote, as well as Cap and Trade, that only a few years ago would get him impeached is beyond sane reasoning;
In the Nineteenth Century he would have been tarred and feathered for such an extremist action.

Our own elected "representatives" are now selling your freedom and mine and that of our posterity on the altar of slavish devotion to their Supreme Leader and Comrade Obama and his Marxist agenda.

It has all happened before...........the question is, will we recognize it and put a stop to it while we are still free to do so?
I cannot emphasize strongly enough how near the precipice of slavery we are as a people to our own government, nor the arrogant and committed determination of Perriello and Obama to force a Marxist society down our throats.

We must have ALL options on the table to regain and keep our freedom this time;
How ironic that Obama used the terms "extremists" and "anti-government people", in his browbeating of the Blue Dogs Saturday night, referring to anyone who believes in adhering to the limits of governmental power mandated by the Constitution.

HE is the extremist, HE is the one who hates our current government, as it is limited in scope by his most hated document of all time, the Constitution. (next to the Bible, of course)
HE is the one who has thrown aside all restraints on himself and his Marxist buddies in the Democrat party; It is HE who is willing to make his congressional friends lose their seats if that is what it takes to take over another almost twenty percent of the American economy and give it to government.
HE is the one who proclaims America to be no longer Christian while keeping a deafening silence as another Muslim murders our troops.
It is HE who allows continued murder of our sitting duck GI's in Afghanistan, for fear of endangering his Marxist takeover of the healthcare system.
It is HIS politically-correct military who kept their silence about Major Hassan, knowing for weeks or months that he was a Muslim radical

Yes, it is HE who believes that he, and only he, should have the final say in everything that pertains to a U.S. citizen, and that is the practical definition of Marxist government.

OK, Barack, WE are the extremists??
You and the liar Perriello fit the definition far better than we.
It is YOU who have committed High Crimes and Treason against the Constitution and the Citizenry

Face it folks, it has happened; He is in the White House.
Now are you going to join the freedom movement, or will you sit back and refuse to defend freedom for all others until yours is removed, at which point it will likely be too late?

What will finally be your breaking point?
Will you wait until they forcibly take your kids as Brownshirts, or enact forced sterilization?
How about when they force you to let your Grandad die because his life has become expendable?
Think it can't happen here, think again!

I remind us all that Hitler was freely elected as president in Germany and only six years later forcibly made himself dictator.........it was the same U.S that Obama and Perriello seek to destroy that had to stop him; Only you can stop Obama and Perriello!!

Are you willing to sacrifice Life, Fortune and Sacred Honor, if necessary, to win back our freedom for which countless thousands have died to procure?

I suggest we throw out all the Statist bums (Perriello) in DC that forcibly removed our constitutional freedom by voting for Obamacare or Cap and Trade.
Get involved, join a campaign, run your own campaign, donate to conservative candidates, write letters to the editor, speak the truth boldly whenever and wherever anyone will listen, call your representatives even if they are not listening, call the White House though they could not care less, man the phone banks, call into radio talk shows;

And if all else fails in the end, be ready and willing to exercise our right to Keep and Bear Arms. As George Washington said " the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is the citizens last line of defense between themselves and over-reaching government".

I hope and pray it never comes to that, but this adminstration is NOT above the use of force on American citizens if they view it as necessary to the successful take-over by Marxism.
Read Karl Marx and Saul Alinski, if you can do it without throwing up, to see what Obama, Perriello and Comrades believe...........oh yes, and welcome to the Soviet Union!

Are you going to step up and prevent it?
Mr. Obama, I am an American, I live with Americans, I recognize an American, and I love Americans;
You, sir, are no American.

One last final word of advice to Obama and Perriello:
DON'T TREAD ON US!!!

Ed Gillespie Assassinates Character of Fellow Republican in WaPo Op-ed

Ed Gillespie recently took the opportunity to launch a thinly-veiled and unprovoked attack on my friend and fellow patriot Catherine Crabill; Enjoy the self-aggrandizing of Mr. Gillespie, and then read my response below.
For those of you who do not know, he is referring to her in the talking points section of his op-ed, where he talks about language the voters want to hear.


I want to respond to Ed Gillespie's gratuitous and unprofessional remarks about a friend of liberty and fellow Patriot, Catherine Crabill.
In his recent op-ed Mr. Gillespie misquoted Mrs. Crabill by inferring that she said that if Republicans fell short at the ballot box they might want to resort to the bullet box.
Here is her actual remark....." we must fight this war at the ballot box, BEFORE we have to resort to the bullet box".

Mrs. Crabill's point was in the context of her support for the 2nd Amendment, which guarantees all citizens the right to keep and bear firearms.
Her point was that we have the blessing of the ballot box with which to defend our dwindling liberty, and must exercise that freedom in order to prevent being forced to resort to firearms once again.......... I totally agree, and so did the Founders.
She clearly was not advocating the unilateral use of firearms in murder, as she has been portrayed.

Further, her point was that the purpose of the 2nd Amendment was to give us a last ditch method of preventing tyranny from our own government. George Washington stated that the Right to Keep and Bear Arms was the citizens last line of defense between themselves and overreaching government. Perhaps Mr. Gillespie will find it incumbent upon himself to call President Washington a right-wing nut, as he appears to hint that Crabill is, but then again, maybe not.
I remind Mr.. Gillespie that once upon a time it took the dedicated use of the bullet box to bring about the freedom to use the ballot box.

That was Mrs Crabill's underlying premise.
Further, I happen to know her and she is one of the boldest and most outspoken proponents of constitutional principle and she understands the importance of the 2nd Amendment as being absolutely foundational to all the other constitutionally guaranteed liberties we once enjoyed in this nation.

By the way, Mr. Gillespie also forgot to mention that as McDonnell and Bolling were publicly disavowing themselves of the campaign of a "radical" Republican nominee, breaking their PLEDGE to support ALL Republican candidates, McDonnell was publicly endorsing and campaigning for another Republican House of Delegates candidate, who as a proud homosexual campaigned on his desire to overturn Virginia's Marriage Amendment, just passed in 2006, for which McDonnell takes a lot of the credit.

Mr Gillespie's uncalled for and totally gratuitous assault on a fine lady and defender of liberty in front of the whole state, comes on the same day that she was at the Michelle Bauchman rally in Washington, yet again defending Mr. Gillespie's freedom to voice his opinion without fear of retribution from political authorities.

Too bad he and McDonnell do not afford Mrs. Crabill the same respect. While she fell a few votes shy of defeating a longtime Democrat incumbent (thought to be invincible) thanks to McDonnell's public ditching of her campaign, she has picked herself up and started right back into battle as Gillespie and Co. continue to be obsessed with her.

What does Mr. Gillespie so fear about a losing candidate from an obscure county in rural Virginia that he cannot apparently reconcile himself to her very existence? Why does he find it necessary to air McDonnell's dirty social laundry to the whole state, just for the joy of attacking Mrs. Crabill?.
I suppose Mrs. Crabill's "radical" defense of the 2nd Amendment is "language the voters don't want to hear", but overturning the Marriage Amendment is the mainstream norm in the South, eh.

Fortunately though, Gillespie is still capable of complimenting the most radical President in American history, while assisting him in broadcasting false White House talking points that Virginia's elections are not a reflection on Barack Obama;
How foolish can one former RNC Chairman really be? Until Mr. Gillespie has the social skills to avoid publicly hitting a lady while she is down, I would recommend to him the old-fashioned right-wing radical notion of counting to one hundred before choosing to publicly humilate oneself.

Another note;
After the GOP Chair of the Westmoreland Republicans told the media that Crabill was nothing more than a caricature, and after being thrown publicly under the bus by the entire party apparatus, including the statewide candidates, she came within three points of beating Pollard.
Maybe there are few more radicals around who understand that our freedom really IS under direct threat from a Marxist administration in Washington, and that the Republican leadership are still wantonly clueless to this stark reality.

But, I guess Gillespie and his crowd would rather have a Democrat who will make deals with our freedom than a patriot who will not...........John McCain is very proud today, Ed.
How's that Hope and Change working out for you, eh?

Apparent Muslim Gunman Murders Soldiers at Fort Hood

Now that we know that Maj. Nidal Hassan was at the very least a Muslim sympathizer, the question rings loud and clear:
When will we stop pretending that there is no need to treat Muslims with a cautious amount of suspicion?
How many more Americans will have to die before we stop letting the war-like religion run unchecked on military bases?

How much carnage inside our borders will it take to finally convince Washington that "Houston, we have a problem"?
12 families are suffering the loss of loved ones tonight, while thirty more suffer the emotional and physical pain of this avoidable mass murder.

Our politicians still refuse to admit, for obvious political reasons, that Islam is a grave danger to innocent Americans, and it appears that they are more concerned that they not irritate potential Muslim voters than they are with ensuring that more Muslims previously thought to be harmless can't kill more people.

I know I'll be called a hate-filled warmonger, but I submit that is the murderous religion of Islam that is hate-filled, not the few of us who actually have the courage to tell the truth, and try to call our nation to it's senses before it is too late.

My sympathies lie with the murdered, not with the murderer

Republicans Romp; McDonnell Must Seize the Moment

Yesterday's elections in Virginia and New Jersey clearly were a referendum on Barak Obama's Socialist and Marxist governing policies;

Only a year after winning Virginia as the first Democrat to do so since 1964, and sweeping New Jersey in a landslide, Obama and his Democrat underlings were systematically and thoroughly destroyed by the concern over his own Cap and Trade and Obamacare takeovers of the free enterprise system, and the reputation of McDonnell and Cuccinelli as Reagan conservatives;

McDonnell, and Cuccinelli both were publicly vocal about their respective agendas, and
the Republican ticket did a far better job of appealing to the electorate on issues than the Democrats, and aided by the political climate created by fear of Obama policies, swept away the Democrats in a tide of center-right Virginia voters.

Let there no longer be any doubt that the wave of Obamamania last year was nothing more than just that, and that Virginia's brief flirtation with Democrat control is effectively over for at least the next few years, if the Republican stick to their constitutional guns.

Bob McDonnell has enough political capital now to stand up to the Obama agenda, claim the sovereignty granted to Virginia by the US Constitution when it becomes necessary to do so, and lead this state back to respect for constitutionally limited governing principles.

Whether or not he realizes the opportunity he has is still to be seen, but he is an intelligent man, and I hope he seizes the moment for traditional American values of Faith, Family, Freedom, and Limited Government.

Governor, this is a time for choosing;
We chose you, now we ask you to choose to defend our ever endangered liberty from the tyranny of government.
The sky is the limit for you if you allow the people to be your best friends, and the Constitution your closest advisor

Congratulations, Sir.
