Where is Obama on same-sex marriage? He would abolish the Defense of Marriage Act. I know John McCain is for defining marriage as between a man and a woman. This article is why we must pass Amendment 2 in Florida . States without a marriage amendment are subject to being forced by legal fiat to recognize these illegal marriages. Article by Tony Perkins from the Family Research Council : "Not to be outdone by California, the Massachusetts legislature became the second state to allow out-of... Read Full Story
Perhaps of interest, we spent the past five days in Cincinnati, Ohio at the NAACP annual convention. We were pleased that we were well and politely received. More than 400 convention attendees visited the [National Black Republican Association] NBRA booth. The booth was in cooperation with the [Republican National Committee] RNC. We played close attention to how Obama and McCain performed at the convention. Obama spoke at 8:30 PM Monday evening. His speech was well advertised and well... Read Full Story
Great cleanup dive yesterday with Reef Rakers . For those of you who don't know about Reef Rakers , please visit their link above. Great group of kids that dive and clean up our waterways. Yesterday was great with a ton (literal ton, I think) of trash coming out just north of Coquina Boat launch to Leftis Cay. It is amazing to see how dedicated these kids are to come out on a very cold day with 68 degree water and go diving and do a cleanup. I hadn't dived there before, but found a lot of...

In the name of full disclosure, my readers should know that I have come out in support of Ron Filipkowski who I believe is a true conservative, patriot, and a fellow veteran. Now for my article. Have you heard the term "Republican In Name Only" or RINO. This is a term of endearment for people who join the Republican Party but have loyalties elsewhere. In the Democratic Party they are called traitors, uncle Toms, OREOs, and certain words we will certainly not print here. Well, we may have a... Read Full Story
It is evident your positions on off shore drilling are not in agreement with Governor Crist, nor with the rest of the nation. With your income you can afford to pay top dollar for fuel. This is not true to those unfortunate Floridians suffering for the high cost of gas, food, and lodging, Have you no compassion for the people who voted for you? By your statements your opposition to off shore drilling is based on tourism and environmental impact. Why is it that you do not oppose Chavez, Cuba... Read Full Story
Recently while driving in and around our area I observed many drivers operating their vehicles with the windows down. Obviously, when driving with the windows open they probably do not have their air conditioners engaged. Folks are not using air conditioning in order to save gasoline. According to the Auto Club you can save approximately one to two gallons a tank if you drive without using the air conditioner. The continuing astronomical spike in fuel prices has resulted in a number of... Read Full Story
An adjunct fellow of the Manhattan Institute has compiled some of the most comprehensive research on how immigrants and illegal immigrants are really affecting America. Here are some of the lowlights. American taxpayers are coughing up more than $9,000 a year in cash or benefits to each immigrant this country. One third (and I think this number is low) of those immigrants are illegal. So there are 37 million criminal immigrants in the United States. This means that the national cost of... Read Full Story
2008 Kicks Off Sarasota Season With Mississippi Visitor In June, I enjoyed a mini reunion with five childhood girlfriends in Greenville, MS, my hometown. Last weekend, Francine Luckett, one of those friends, called me and said "what are you doing Saturday?" Francine's husband and actor, Morgan Freeman were playing in the fifth annual Derek Jeter Celebrity Golf Classic in Tampa so Francine asked if she could hop aboard their plane for the trip to Tampa. Tampa's Hard Rock Hotel is a quick hour... Read Full Story
The economy is by far the No. 1 issue on most Americans’ minds . Gas prices are a close second . The two issues are intimately related. But the spike in oil prices this year is just the tip of the iceberg. Due to similar developments in supply and demand, electricity prices are set to skyrocket next year. While American oil consumption has grown only 15% since 1973, electricity use has shot up 115% . Right now the U.S. has 760 gigawatts of power to meet consumption. We will need 135...
