Lance Corporal Jason C. Redifer

Lance Corporal Jason C. Redifer

I never had the opportunity to meet this Marine, but from what I have read and been told about him I admire this Marines courage, love of country, and sacrifice for all of us…

I also never had the opportunity to meet this young man but what I have seen and learned from his Mother, step~Father, and Brothers, I am sure I would have admired him just as much…

Obama threw out many dog bones...


President Obama threw out many bones to many different groups last night during his State of the Union speech...
.
Like many of the promises he made back during his campaign, he has not delivered or followed up on many of his "Hopes" and in fact has ignored many of his claims during the campaign...
.
So don't count on many of those promises made last night and enjoy your bone for now. But be sure to watch for somebody from Virginia who will be sure to hold the President on his stated claim to develop domestic energy sources offshore...
.
Meet Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell and his response to the State of the Union speech found here...

Jim Webb: You had your opportunity to listen to your constituents and ignored them... Now you come out?...


Virginia Senator Jim Webb was quick to come out with the following statement after Scott Brown took Massachusetts by storm....

"I believe it would only be fair and prudent that we suspend further votes on health care legislation until Senator-elect Brown is seated."
.
Both Virginia Senators Webb and Warner received many emails, phone calls, and trips to their district offices by many Virginia citizens telling them that they do not want the many liberal programs being railroaded through Congress by the Democratic Party and President Obama...
.
Senator Webb had the opportunity to vote against the Healthcare bill and chose to support and advance it...
.
Why should we listen to you now Senator Webb?...

Who will be watching the door today?...

"Today, is the Day"... Mel Fisher

How confident are they in their candidate?...




"According to Erich Heyssel, who was attempting to film a Coakley campaign event, “While filming at a Martha Coakley event I was approached by two men holding a 4×8 sign. They proceeded to hold the sign up in my line of sight, I tried to move, and was continuously blocked by these men and their sign.”

Heyssel continued, “The situation escalated as they forcibly held me in place by wrapping the sign around me.”

Dan Tripp, the project leader for Americans for Limited Government Foundation’s coverage of the Massachusetts special election, defended Heyssel, saying, “Martha Coakley needs to calm down her bullies.”

Tripp said “things could get ugly out there tomorrow as tensions rise in this close election. As we seek to identify, publicize and prevent election fraud tomorrow, I have instructed my crews to travel in teams. If Erich had been alone, this could have been worse.”




The above video on You-Tube reminded me of what we saw this year at the 2009 Buena Vista Labor Day Parade where numerous Creigh Deeds (D) supporters blatantly blocked the Republican Candidates for Virginia Governor signs with their Democratic Party candidates (Creigh Deeds) signs...
.
And get this! The Democrat candidate who lost two local elections back to back in the Shenandoah Valley who writes a column for the Rockbridge Weekly paper even gave the Creigh Deeds supporters a "Bee-Vee" award as seen here...
.
This tactic was not limited to the Buena Vista parade and just the Deeds supporters. It also happened and was condoned by the workers of the Democratic Headquarters in Waynesboro as evident in this post...
