The Coming Euro Collapse

Euro collapseThe euro's discontentment began in Greece, a country whose GDP is exceeded by that of many of our states. The late Milton Friedman predicted the demise of the euro within a decade and his prophecy is not far off as European experience is about to blow up. The euro was the experiment that was to unite all of Europe, the final effort to wipe out past history of wars and conflict. Instead, the experience is bringing back the conflicts and rivalries long thought buried. Read more about The Coming Euro Collapse

Moran, Pierson, and Twitter

Moran Pierson TwitterHave y’all been following the insult to Former Marine Dan Moran by Katrina Pierson? She called him “deformed” and said he is being exploited because he endorsed Lieutenant David Dewhurst for Texas Senate. Here’s the archived page.

(I received the whole thing through retweets, since I blocked Pierson on Sunday, before all of this happened.)

Follow @danmoran on Twitter to see his side of the conversation. Pierson deleted the “offending” comment on her account. The Twitter debate

Texas Is The Future - Texas State Convention

Issues: 


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ba3eNRWMLc8&sns=fb

Governor Rick Perry addressed the Texas delegation on the first day of the convention Thursday, June 7. As usual his speech was motivational and geared to ‘Keep Texas Republican.’ He enumerated accomplishments from the past and looks to the future of Texas as a leader. “We need a president who believes in us again,” he remarked. It was an inspiring speech but somewhere towards the middle as he endorsed Lt Gov David Dewhurst, the mere mention of that name brought a spontaneous BOO! The grating BOO engulfed the arena taking 15 seconds to die down.

Joe Straus Tricks at TX GOP Convention – Straus REJECTED from National Delegate List

Issues: 

Texas Speaker of the House Joe Straus had to play some dirty tricks at the State Convention in order to keep from being humiliated by the silent walkout that was planned against him. He wrongly used fellow State Reps as pawns and shields. Joe Straus did not leave the Convention without humiliation though, because Straus was rejected from being a National Delegate!

Obamanomics

The recent gaffe by Obama that the private sector is doing fine can’t really be described a gaffe but an insight in the soul of Obama and how he truly views America. Every so often a politician gives us a glimpse into what he or she believes on an issue or about the people that he or she wants to govern. Obama have given us many of those glimpses. His famous statement about clinging to guns and God was how he really felt about many white blue collar workers whose votes he was seeking in the Democratic Pennsylvania primary. His failure to attract those voters from Hillary elicited

Can Someone Have the “Right” to the Fruits of Your Labor?

[Editor’s note: Mark Ramsey was a member of the State GOP Platform committee in 2010 and 2012, and was also elected to the State Republican Executive Committee from Senate District 7 (SREC SD7), Senator Dan Patrick’s district.]

A bold, fresh and potentially game-changing Platform resolution was unanimously passed this week by the Texas GOP.

This weekend in Ft. Worth, Texas, (“Where the West Begins”), 31 members of the State GOP Platform

Runoff in CD14 - Felicia Harris Receives Strong Endorsements

An interesting thing happened in the world of Texas politics this week. It is pretty rare for a sitting Congressman to make an endorsement of a candidate for Congress in a contested race in the Republican Primary. In the race for CD14, candidate Felicia Harris has pulled off not one such endorsement, but two! I have been watching this race to replace the retiring Ron Paul in the US House of Representatives with some interest for several months. This announcement caught my attention and should cause you to take notice as well if you live in CD14. Read more about Runoff in CD14 - Felicia Harris Receives Strong Endorsements

Cornyn Op-Ed: Why Attorney General Eric Holder should resign

Tuesday morning I called on Attorney General Eric Holder to resign from office. Let me explain why.

The case against Eric Holder could begin and end with his handling of “Operation Fast and Furious,” the program in which our Justice Department deliberately allowed the sale of nearly 2,000 firearms to Mexican drug cartels, and then intentionally lost track of them.

Texas GOP Immigration Platform - Pandering or Progress

Issues: 

The Republican Party of Texas made, what many are calling, an historic step forward in the debate to solve our nation's broken immigration system last Friday night when it adopted "The Texas Solution" as a new plank in the state party's platform.  However, the lengthy floor fight was not the end of the debate.  It is, rather, a new beginning where we have proven that reasonable people can come together, with differing opinions, and

Ron Paul Supporters at Texas GOP Convention Acted Respectfully, Were Intelligent and Not Crazy

Issues: 

Sometimes a few crazy people can make an entire group look bad. Maybe that is what has happened with Ron Paul supporters. We see some crazy Ron Paul people on the news and we paint the entire group as being crazy. It is like these bad cops who think they are above the law and they break the law and do things like beating people up on video. That is why some people hate cops when, in fact, most cops are doing a great job and risking their lives for us. The problem is that the few bad cops you see on TV unfairly make all cops look bad.
