Texas GOP Vote

The government is rapidly making policy changes that deal with marriage, guns, the military, immigration and nearly every other facet of our public and private lives. These changes are taking place rapidly because Republicans seem to be giving into the demands of Democrats with recent speeches by Eric Cantor and other Republicans whose positions on immigration and same sex marriage have quickly “evolved” over the past few months. These developments illuminate the need for conservatism and its role in balancing the liberal desire for rapid change.

Change in and of itself is not always a bad thing. The problem is not with change necessarily but with the nature and rapidity of the change.

Polygamy is the slippery slope of what will be allowed after we finish debating same-sex marriage. Jonathan Turley, a constitutional legal scholar, has already set the groundwork for the legalization of polygamy. Turley contends, “For polygamists, it is simply a matter of unequal treatment under the law…Individuals have a recognized constitutional right to engage in any form of consensual sexual relationship with any number of partners. Thus, a person can live with multiple partners and even sire children from different partners so long as they do not marry. However, when that same person accepts a legal commitment for those partners 'as a spouse,' we jail them.”

Turley goes beyond equal treatment under the law as he adds,

On Saturday, Mar. 30, the bodies of 23-year Army veteran and Kaufman County District Attorney Mike McLelland and his wife Cynthia were found in their home, the victims of an apparent assassination.

Speaking on condition of anonymity, a law enforcement official described the scene at the McLelland’s home as “awful,” with “shell casings everywhere.” This caused Forney Mayor Darren Rozell and local defense attorney Eric Smenner both to suggest the McLellands were targeted:   Read more »

An exchange between Planned Parenthood Alisa Snow and Representative Jim Boyd: "So, um, it is just really hard for me to even ask you this question because I’m almost in disbelief," said Rep. Jim Boyd. "If a baby is born on a table as a result of a botched abortion, what would Planned Parenthood want to have happen to that child that is struggling for life?" "We believe that any decision that’s made should be left up to the woman, her family, and the physician," said Planned Parenthood lobbyist Snow.   Read more »

North Korea Dictator Kim Jong Un has signed orders putting his rockets on combat ready status, and according to Kim Jong Un's U.S. Mainland Strike Plan, Austin, TX is one of the top 4 American cities to be targeted by this potential nuclear missile strike. Occupy Movements, plastic bags, and Hippie Festivals are no longer the greatest threat to this liberal-controlled Texas City.

Thanks to the efforts of Lady Bird Johnson and thousands of volunteers at the National Wildflower Research Center, driving the highways and backroads of Texas in the springtime is a thing of beauty and grandure. It is a great time to take a break from the hustle and bustle of our political debates and look at what real life in Texas is all about. If you live within a hour or two drive of Round Top, Texas, you need to plan a trip through the flowers and a stop for some of the best food in Texas at Bud Royer's Round Top Cafe!

I first learned of the Royer's Round Top Cafe while listening to a radio show hosted by former KPRC-Weatherman Doug Johnson in 1989 when he described

While the debate centers on gay marriage, what is missing is a serious discussion about the family breakdown. Jonah Goldberg wrote a piece recently about how Dan Quayle was right about the family's collapse twenty years ago and its meaning for the greater society. While much of the establishment mocked Dan Quayle, Quayle has proven to be right and his critics wrong.   Read more »

The East Texas Corruption Stories Continue (with no end in sight). You Heard the Story Here First!

I have just confirmed with the Jasper County Jail that former Jasper, TX Police Chief's son, Ronnie Pearson, has been indicted and booked on charges that include sexual assault of a child and indecency with a child. Kudos to Texas Ranger Ken Parks and Hardin County District Attorney David Sheffield for investigating and securing the indictment.

Ronnie Pearson was indicted March 26th, 2013 by a Jasper County Grand Jury. His indictment did not initially appear on the list of indictments from the Grand Jury because it was a field
