As a young female conservative, I can only retort and emphasize how important it is that more young conservatives (whether season or new) come before society and help shape future generations. Whenever I venture to conservative or Republican-sponsored events, I see very few people my age. Adults and the elderly currently occupy the mainstay of the Conservative Movement. What happens …
A Tepid 77th?
For a primer on my lamentation, here are all the below-referenced posts and candidate guest columns on the 77th AD: http://sdrostra.com/?tag=77th-state-assembly Sigh. Maybe it was that the various commentaries by the four potential Republican candidates in the 77th Assembly District were all published late last week, as folks in general were readying for a three-day weekend. Perhaps that’s the crux …

The Sublime Humility of George Washington. We Still Stand on the Shoulders of this Human Giant.
Remember the name——- George Washington. He led an unprofessional, undisciplined Army against the greatest military and economic force on Earth: the British Empire.

Instead, he spent 6 years touring Forests and Swamps while …
Clarification of earlier post on El Cajon CDC
It occurred to me that my earlier post about the El Cajon CDC might be confusing to those of you not familiar with El Cajon politics. So here is some clarification: The CDC stands for Community Development Corporation. It is a non profit corporation tasked with the vitalization of the El Cajon Downtown area. It is funded by a combination …

Obama Isn’t Playing Around Any More
Record cold snowstorms (due to Global Warming according to MSNBC) have literally shut Washington down. Hmm. Washington shut down? Maybe we have something here. Oh well…I digress because even if Washington cannot put a handle on the weather, at least they’ll get Iranian President Ahmadinnejad under control. In the wake of Iran’s announced nuclear enrichment, our administration has responded swiftly …

Another View of the Republican Central Committee Happenings

After A Humiliating Defeat, The Anti-Krvaric Faction Disintegrates
Every war comes to an end, and the war over control of the Republican Central Committee that has heatedly flared, on and off for the past two years, is over. In the last four days, in a sweeping route, Republican Chairman Tony Krvaric’s ‘organization’ has emerged wholly victorious over what became an ever shrinking, and every more bizarre, collection of …
Is Obama Really Ready To Be Bi-Partisan?
I’m getting so tired of hearing Republicans being called, “the party of no.” Let’s just get this nonsense cleared up once and for all. Words such as no or yes are neutral. They only take on moral meaning when we decide what we are saying yes or no to. After all, we as a society, decided long ago that we …
