COMMENTARIES
Proud to Serve - A Veteran's Story
By Ron Miller | 11/11/09
I am a second-generation military veteran, following in the footsteps of my father who served over two decades in the U.S. Air Force as a munitions maintenance specialist, loading weapons on our nation's warplanes. I was honored to carry my father's legacy forward, and proud to serve my country. Dad's career took us all over the world. I was born in Lake Charles, Louisiana, my mother's hometown and an early duty station for my father, deployed... read more »

Left's Revisions Can't Diminish Reagan's Berlin Legacy
By Ron Miller | 11/10/09
It was my honor to have served in the U.S. Air Force when President Ronald Reagan was my commander-in-chief. President Reagan’s enduring legacy is the end of the Cold War, the 46-year standoff between the United States and the Soviet Union and their proxies around the world. Today we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, the signature historical event that announced to the world that freedom endured and won out... read more »

O'Malley's Extortion Racket Exposed - And He's Not Happy
By Ron Miller | 10/29/09
It seems Governor Martin O'Malley, the "Teflon Leprechaun" (I can't take credit for that phrase! ) got a little testy at a press conference because the extortion racket he's been running against Constellation Energy has been exposed for what it is - a cheap political stunt designed to deflect the voters' attention from his false promise during the 2006 campaign to do something about the Baltimore Gas & Electric (BG&E)... read more »

O'Malley Jumps the Shark
By Ron Miller | 10/16/09
Sometime tonight, Maryland Governor Martin O' Malley will make a live appearance on the season finale of the HBO show, "Real Time with Bill Maher," at which time we can declare he has officially "jumped the shark." That phrase has its origins in an episode of TV's "Happy Days" when the Fonz got over his fear of sharks by jumping over one while water skiing. The episode was widely panned as a desperate attempt... read more »

Is Maryland The Next California?
By Ron Miller | 10/07/09
I’ve been observing the fiscal crisis in the once-great state of California with more than a little trepidation. The current budget debacle here in Maryland invites comparison to California’s unfortunate circumstances, and the parallels between them are too many to ignore. California’s slide from one of the nation’s most prosperous states to one that can’t pay its bills and is issuing IOUs should be a cautionary... read more »

Polanski Arrest Exposes More Liberal Hypocrisy
By Ron Miller | 09/29/09
Liberal outrage over director Roman Polanski’s arrest in Switzerland this week on 1977 charges of raping a 13-year old girl in the U.S. has once again exposed the lie that liberals are for “the little guy.” These defenders of “the little guy” are the same ones who: Tried to destroy a working Joe for daring to question then-candidate Barack Obama Promote the killing of millions of voiceless... read more »

Carter's Credibility Sinks to New Lows with Charges of Racism
By Ron Miller | 09/16/09
It is never pleasant to see a man who once occupied the highest office in the land lose stature and credibility after leaving office. It reflects not only on him but also on the Presidency, which isn’t his to sully. James Earl “Jimmy” Carter, Jr., the 39th President of the United States, was once held in high regard based on his good works with Habitat for Humanity and other worthy causes. In recent years, however, he... read more »

Obama Cult of Personality Hits Classrooms Today
By Ron Miller | 09/08/09
Given the nature of political discourse these days, I wasn't the least bit surprised when liberals and Washington elites began ridiculing parents for objecting to President Obama's planned address to schoolchildren on September 8th. The Calvert County public school system crafted an excellent response to concerned parents and I was very satisfied with their solution. Objections to and defenses of this address have generally fallen into one of... read more »

Hey, Mike - Stick With Your Day Job!
By Ron Miller | 08/19/09
Our neighbor county to the north, Prince George's County, has a heavy burden to bear. The "heavy" in this case is our state "Senator for Life" Mike Miller, whose district encompasses southern Prince George's County and most of Calvert County. It seems that, although he moved to the idyllic shores of Chesapeake Beach from Clinton several years ago, he can't stop returning to the old homestead to wreak havoc. I guess running... read more »

Hoyer Crosses The Line: How Much More Will We Take?
By Ron Miller | 08/10/09
Calvert County and its surrounding counties have endured a lot in the past 28 years from Steny Hoyer in exchange for his skill in procuring prodigious amounts of pork for his district. We've looked the other way as he's voted against our values so we could get a taste of the pork being ladled by the federal government to the tune of billions of dollars. As we've given him a pass and his elections have become coronations, he's become increasingly... read more »
