Jess, thanks for posting pertinent information on a regular basis. IMO, it's pertinent because the focus is on Virginia a state that is outside of the "Blue State" bubble most of the time. I need and want to know how it is outside of my own urban west/left coast reality.
The article about Cuncinelli running as the Republican candidate for the State Attorney General and referring to himself as a Libertarian is on point. You may have read some of my grumbling in various post about the hypocrisy in our daily dose of spin. This is a prime example. The candidate espouses Libertarian values but in fact this is yet another untruth.
What I think he really means is I am all about separation of church and state, minimal government in the life of people, UNTIL I think MY WAY, MY BELIEFS should be forced upon the lives of others.
I do have a belief in the existence of a God but I am becoming less willing to discuss it because of the zealots, extremists that have hijacked the meaning of what it is to be "Christian."
Finally, thanks for the Good News. I am encouraged to read that there are members of the House that are serious about getting ENDA voted upon and passed.
