A Little Lutheran Pride

For the close followers of the Conservative Refuge you know that I am a proud Lutheran. Here is a fun video paying homage to some of my fellow Lutherans, a la Adam Sandler's Hanukkah Song, by Lost and Found.

The blogosphere doing the local media's job AGAIN!

Brian Griffiths is again breaking news concerning the unregistered democratic lobbyist that Governor O'Malley has appointed to the Anne Arundel County School Board. O'Malley Watch dutifully picked up the story and put it into a broader context.

Now, Ms. Birge, the unregistered democratic lobbyist in question, is trying to quell any further inquiry by insisting that the Governor's office knew her background before she was selected.

No doubt, after all, that is how she got the job.

Brian is continuing to dig into the background of these nominees who have avoided any real public scrutiny due to the undemocratic appointment process adopted in our county. The local media, for their part, have done little to shed any light for the parents and taxpayers who will be affected by these choices.

The last thing we need on our school board is an unregistered democratic lobbyist who gives every indication of being a "button man" for Governor O'Malley and Superintendent Maxwell to push outrageous budgets and pressure responsible county leaders to raise taxes.

Good work Brian, and let's all spread the word about this unacceptable choice being pushed on us by Governor O'Malley and his cronies on the School Board Nominating Commission.

Refuge Podcast # 62 - Lessons From History

Jam packed with all the conservative goodness you have come to expect it is the Conservative Refuge Podcast. You can listen by visiting here:

http://theconservativerefuge.libsyn.com

In our opening segment, I have some comments on Politicker.com's P. Kenneth Burns' argument that Ronald Reagan is dead. You will want to hear this spirited discussion of what lies (or should lie) at the heart of the modern Republican party.

Our blogger roundtable, with regular contributors Brian Griffiths and the Examiner's History examiner Mark Newgent, discuss the historical gaffes of Barack Obama and give more detail about the history at issue. Does Obama's reliance on the historical examples of John Kennedy and Ronald Reagan justify his positions or actually demonstrate why he is unqualified to be Commander in Chief. Our blogger contributors offer their insights and opinions.

In our closing segment, some more lessons from history as I discuss the Supreme Court's recent habeas corpus decision and the statements of the Obama campaign who want to prosecute the War on Terror as a law enforcement effort.

http://theconservativerefuge.libsyn.com

In our opening segment, a revisit of our discussions of GOP branding. In light of another special election defeat, how can Republicans turn things around? I share my thoughts and welcome your comments on this critical issue facing conservatives.

Our blogger roundtable, with regular contributors Brian Griffiths and Mark Newgent, discuss the many issues facing the MTA. With raising gas prices, mass transit is becoming more popular than ever. With violent crime incidents, maintenance and rider delays is our state's system up to the task? Our blogger contributors offer their insights and opinions.

In our closing segment, I discuss the growing conservative media here in Maryland. As a guest on the local cable show The Right Issue I had a chance to share the growth of the conservative blogosphere and its synergy with locally oriented talk radio. As we approach 2010, these outlets will play an increasingly important role.

The blogger roundtable, with regular contributors Brian Griffiths and Mark Newgent convene to hand out the Second Annual General Assembly Awards. Who were the best and worst members of the General Assembly this year? What were the best and the worst ideas that came of out the 2008 session? Our blogger contributors give their choices.

One year after the school board petition drive, Brian Griffiths and I discuss the Anne Arundel County School Board Nominating Commission as they consider candidates for the two vacancies on our county school board. Have the promises of those who supported this process been kept? Are the members of this commission more capable of picking school board candidates than the voters?

In our closing segment, I offer some thoughts on the departure of John Flynn as Executive Director of the Maryland Republican Party and the choice of Justin Ready as his successor.
