The Cold War - 20 Years Later

One of the single greatest victories of America is winning the Cold War. I'd even put it ahead of winning WWII.

We won that war because of a relentless opposition to totalitarianism led, primarily, by Republicans who saw it as America's place to control the epidemic enslavement of the human spirit. We did not beat communism because we negotiated nuclear development with the Soviets. We did not put an end to the domino effect by offering aid packages to the East Germans.

We won that conflict, one of the most significant in the history of mankind, because we knew well our obligation to our fellow man to preserve freedom everywhere - and we had the courage act upon it.

Super Tuesday

No, it's not an election post. This Tuesday, John Allen Muhammad is set to die by lethal injection for the Washington-area sniper murders in fall 2002. See the stories here.

A few thoughts on that. First, I'm proud that Gov. Kaine has kept his word on the death penalty. Though he opposes it on religious grounds, he has proven true to his word and not let that get in the way of following the law. Second, I can only hope the Supreme Court lets justice be done.

Young, Rich and Suburban

Interesting article in today's Post about Loudoun's young, wealthy demographic - undoubtedly driving anti-growth people up the wall.

Ha stinking ha.

Nominees for Biggest Loser

Though Obama certainly captures the title on the national level, the biggest loserin yesterday's election on the local level is . . . envelope please . . . the Loudoun Independent. In running a filthy story that even the Post wouldn't touch, it debased itself to a schocking new low. And now with Tag having conquered the 32nd despite those wretched allegations, the "other LI" has shown that it not only has no class, but no relevance either.

Three more years! Three more years!

Tonight will be the first major setback for the Obama administration as it moves closer and closer to ensuring Republican victories in 2010 and 2012. Virginia is a lock for the Republicans which is particularly telling of Obama's lack of clout. A recently-dubbed swing state, Virginia is the best indicator (and least better than Virginia) of the way the entire nation is feeling. And that can't be a good feeling for the Dems.

Danger Will Robinson!

The robocalls must stop! I don't care if its about a conference call with God, I do not want to be automatically called with a pre-recorded message during the dinner hour. We must get three a day. Some of these fundamentalist organizations, in particular, just don't get that repeated calls on the same topic are very counterproductive.

Big Tuesday Coming

Republicans will win big on Tuesday. McDonnell, as good a candidate as he is, is greatly helped by the Democrats hybris and insane economic policies. Expect McDonnell, Bolling and even Cuccinelli to win. Also, expect significant pick ups in the the VA HOD - Greason and Comstock among them.
