Speculation concerning Mitt Romney’s choice of a running mate is beginning to pick up as of late, with a handful of names being consistently mentioned. Marco Rubio, Rob Portman, Paul Ryan, and Kelly Ayotte seem to be the names I hear the most. Personally, I believe there are better choices than any of these people. While I am a huge supporter of some of them, I think we need them in the House and Senate to keep strong members there. Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell has barely been mentioned as a potential #2, but I think he would be a great choice. Continue reading
Open Letter to Mitt Romney– from the Next Generation
Dear Governor Romney,
I’ll start by honestly saying that you were not my favorite candidate in the primaries. I supported Rick Perry and Rick Santorum, both of whom you sparred with in debates and on the campaign trail. In those discussions, I did see in you a candidate who handled himself well under pressure. In most cases, you kept your composure even when under incredible stress. You are definitely going to need that quality in the general election, which brings me to the reason for this letter. I’ve decided to fully support you for President of the United States.

Thoughts on Gay Marriage
Gay marriage has been the hot topic for the last few days, following the completion of President Obama’s “evolving” views on the issue. While his announcement of support for gay marriage came as a surprise to no one, it has still served to spark a media uproar concerning the public’s views on it. 31 states have already been given the opportunity to legalize gay marriage– and 31 states have said no thank-you. I’m approaching this issue carefully; however, I’m using only Scripture to give you my opinion on it. Continue reading
The Case for a Vice-President DeMint
The one name that might be able to seal the election for Mitt Romney is probably one of the only names I haven’t heard even thrown around by pundits on both sides of the aisle. They seem to be hugely overlooking South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint. Why is he being overlooked? He has one of if not the most conservative record in the Senate. He’s from a Southern state, a demographic that Romney desperately needs. Most of all, though, DeMint is genuine; a rare quality in politicians today. Continue reading
National ALS Awareness Month
I’ll be covering Rick Santorum’s endorsement of Mitt Romney a bit more in depth later on, but for now I thought this was more pressing. May is ALS Awareness month. This is very important to me, because my family has been affected by ALS. Continue reading
Potential #2′s: Marco Rubio
As the longtime frontrunner for Vice-President, Marco Rubio certainly does have an impressive record. His voting record in both the Florida House of Representatives and the United States Senate are, in most cases, strictly conservative. There are a couple of votes that I don’t quite understand, but maybe if I look a little closer I will. However, he is definitely not my first choice for the #2 position. Continue reading
I don’t envy Julia!
Whoever Julia really is, she must be feeling pretty special (if she’s an Obama supporter; because she got turned into a faceless surrogate for the campaign). The political world has been captivated by her for the past few days. Apparently, all of us should strive to be just like this Julia or we’re somehow not thinking straight– oh, and we don’t care about the poor. I’m not sure about you, but I don’t think her life sounds very appealing. Continue reading
The American Genocide
You don’t often hear the words “American” and “genocide” in the same sentence, do you? The genocide during the Holocaust is well known, and genocide is a crime against humanity. On September 11, 2001, Americans were killed on our own soil. However, there is a genocide going on within the borders of the United States that too many are overlooking– it is happening through abortion. It is time to end the American genocide once and for all. How can we expect our prosperity to fully return if we continue allowing this to occur? Continue reading
The Case for a Strong Congress
I think many Americans have been focusing on an issue this primary season that, although very important, has not been the core issue that should have dominated our thinking. Electability has been a huge argument for Mitt Romney as he battled his Republican challengers; Romney is more electable, pundits would say, but Santorum has real convictions. Which would you rather have? Apparently, electability won out this year. That is why we need to make sure we have a strong Congress to keep Romney accountable should he win this November. Continue reading
What is Conservatism? [Part 2]
Conservatism: The disposition to preserve or restore what is established and traditional and to limit change (via Dictionary.com).
Another definition comes from the World English Dictionary: A political philosophy advocating the preservation of the best of the established order in society and opposing radical change (also at Dictionary.com). What does this have to do with anything? Well, the very definitions of conservatism are the exact message we as conservatives seek to convey. Our mission is to preserve the Constitution and limit change to it. We have a “political philosophy advocating the preservation” of our Constitution. Most conservatives do believe that, though written over two hundred years ago, our Constitution is a document that should still guide our country. The principles found in it are the same things we need to come back to if we want this country to succeed in the future. Continue reading
