Loudoun County Public Schools have been closed through Friday, February 12: Superintendent cites “worst snow storm in many years.”
I’m sure many of you already know but the Mid-Atlantic and Eastern seaboard is due to get hit by another winter storm. Earlier this week the Midwest was hammered with another storm of their own, some states are break century old records for snow accumulation.
My Words of Wisdom: Don’t clean the driveway until the ENTIRE storm passes.
As all of you know, I am a supporter of the Republican Party, specifically the Republican Party of Virginia. However, the RPV’s latest ad, 12 Inches of Global Warming, is NOTHING to be proud of. It seems as if the RPV has confused science and climate. Just because it is snowing doesn’t mean there is NOT global warming.
Before you put out another ad, please check your facts.
Someone please agree or disagree with me.
For all my fiscal conservatives out there, please check out Dana Walsh and her bid to take Nancy Pelosi’s House seat.
Please check out the Walsh Campaign and contribute in anyway you can, the Liberal / Statist government policies of Pelosi have gone on too long!!!
Congratulations to the 71st governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia, Bob McDonnell. I also want to extend my congratulations to Lt. Governor Bill Bolling and Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli. I have great hope for this administration and strongly believe these individuals will lead us on a road of prosperity.
I was not able to make it to the Inauguration last night but enjoyed looking at the photos on Gov. McDonnell’s NEW inaugural site. The site features the Governor’s entire Inaugural address here.
He has done it again!!!
Throughout his presidential campaign Barack Obama constantly and consistently said the debate over the health care bill will be televised on CSPAN. Have you seen any of this debate?
Didn’t think so.
Once again, the American people, not just Republicans, can see the contrast between candidate Obama and President Obama. What is even more surprising, is that Democrats are now joining Republicans in calling for the President to televise these debates.
Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill of Missouri is one of the leading Democrats asking for the debates to be televised.
So why haven’t the debates been televised? Well, Democrats think it will be much harder with cameras in the room. That’s it. It will just be harder. Well Mr. President, and cronies, no one said the job was going to be easy. Listen to the members of your party and follow through with your campaign promises.
Sorry to all my readers, I have been out of the loop for quite some time but no need to worry.
The LoudounLady is back and will be for good.
Please regularly check back for new weekly series I will beginning tomorrow.
I look forward to discussing and debating with you all.
Congratulations to the Loudoun County GOP:
The Loudoun County Republican Committee (LCRC), and particularly its chairman Glen Caroline, was recognized by Governor-Elect Bob McDonnell (R) and the Republican Party of Virginia for their efforts during the 2009 election.
You can read the rest here.
According to LCRC’s website, McDonnell took 61% of the county’s vote – that’s fantastic!
I’ve been chewing over this minaret issue for a little while.
To be honest, it came as a bit of a shock to me. I knew that there were tensions between Muslim immigrant populations and Europe’s majorities - Ross Douthat gives a quick summary of the issue (not sure how long that link will last since it’s NY Times). But to those of us who have not been following those tensions very closely, this seems rather intolerant compared to the Europe we thought of before. Of course, it is too simple to just label this as intolerant, but the appearance is there, at least.
Foreign Policy tackles the question, “Would Americans Vote to Ban Minarets?” I’m not convinced that we would – even though, as the article points at, Americans have largely negative attitudes toward Muslims. We have something else, though: one of the principles that we are founded on is freedom of religion – I believe that Americans are far too sensitive (in a positive way) to the issue of religious oppression to allow something like this to happen. That combined with our strong belief in the freedom of speech makes the likelihood of a ‘minaret ban’ only possible, I think, on the local level, and even then it would be rare.
I have not tried to find out if any towns in the United States have a minaret ban – I assume it would have hit the news by now. This will be in the back of my mind for a little while.
