COMMENTARIES
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 »

Health Care Debate Exposes Liberal Hatred of Liberty
By Ron Miller | 08/02/09
In the midst of the heated national debate on health care, the man who claims to represent me as my U.S. Senator is hiding from me and all his constituents who might disagree with him. This is just the latest example of a long list of actions by our public officials in Maryland who think the power and influence granted to them by the people allows them to selectively disregard or dismiss the citizens they claim to serve. Ben Cardin, the... read more »

GOP Circular Firing Squads Reload in Maryland
By Ron Miller | 07/30/09
As I've mentioned in the past, Maryland has been a deep shade of "blue" since before the Civil War. Republicans have never controlled the General Assembly and have had only six governors in Annapolis during the 155-year existence of the GOP. Despite this dismal record, and despite the greatest opportunity in decades to make significant gains at all levels of government across the state, Maryland Republicans are feuding in the press... read more »
