Omni Shoreham hotel from across the street
I flew to Washington D.C. today to cover the Family Research Council‘s Values Voter Summit. I’ve covered the event a number of times in the past, but the last couple of years have seen events intervene that kept me away.
This year’s event should be especially exciting for a number of reasons.
First, it’s a presidential election year. A presidential election year always electrifies everything political (I was here in 2008 during the Obama/McCain race), and with so much on the line this election (including and especially ObamaCare’s assault on religious freedom and other liberties), there are a lot of very concerned people here.
Second, Republican Vice Presidential Candidate Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) will be speaking at the conference; Republican Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney has been invited to speak, but the last I knew he was unconfirmed (the campaign schedule may not permit him to attend as he usually does).
Finally, with the shooting at FRC headquarters less than a month ago by a homosexual activist, security is already anticipated to be very high for this event. The hotel where the event is being held, the Omni Shoreham, has seen lots of high-profile events over the years (not only have several movies been filmed in part at the hotel over the years, but Bill Clinton’s inaugural ball was held here), so they know what they’re doing when it comes to keeping people safe and keeping the bad guys out.
I’ll be doing some articles about the summit over the next couple of days, and sharing some photos and video as time permits. It’s going to be a very busy itinerary–with things going on at the summit, and other things outside the summit.
In the meantime, here are some pics I took on the way here today. I’ve been flying around over the world for nearly 30 years, but I’m always like a kid when I’m in the air. I just love looking down on God’s green earth from a few miles up, and I never get tired of seeing the majesty of our nation’s capital. I hope you enjoy these photos.

Evolutionists want everyone to believe their idea is a fact. Evolutionists cultivate a perception that there is a "mountain of evidence" that is monolithic, that proves beyond any doubt that evolution is a fact. The reality is much, much different. Check out this evidence of Creation Magazine Live to learn more of the specifics about the "mountain of evidence" for evolution.
Bishop E.W. Jackson is an outspoken black Christian conservative with a law degree from Harvard. He also was just selected as the nominee for lieutenant governor of Virginia. He is outspoken about limited government and personal freedom, about the importance of family and traditional marriage, and about doing something about the scourge of abortion. In other words, E.W. Jackson stands for everything that the Republican Party once stood for. He's making the Republicans of inclusion squirm.
“ADHD is a prime example of a fictitious disease.” These were the words of Leon Eisenberg, the “scientific father of ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder),” in his last interview before his death. The medical industry is using the guise of helping children to depersonalize and disconnect our children from a healthy, normal upbringing.
Like many conservatives, I once thought Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) was a solid, reliable conservative. Then he joined with the so-called "Gang of 8" in crafting a sellout amnesty proposal that Rubio and some others still claim isn't amnesty even though it clearly is. Now his liberal illegal immigration record in the Florida legislature is coming to light, and some things are suddenly becoming more clear.
Dr. Anthony Levantino is a New Mexico doctor who previously performed 1,200 abortions. After his own daughter died in a tragic accident, he began a process of self examination. He now realizes the truth about abortion.

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the party over to the so-called moderates wouldn't make any sense at all." - Ronald Reagan, Nov. 10, 1964 |
