By: Christine Morabito, President of the Gr. Boston Tea Party We have seen our worst enemies, and they are among us. The Tea Party will not survive without a thorough self-examination.

By: Paul Murano – March 2013 This past month saw two stories in the news that speak volumes beyond their headlines. Not surprisingly they were about sex and death respectively, and they focused on two women, one young and one elderly. Their names were Melissa King and Lorraine Bayless. One gave up her title as […]

By: Paul Murano – June, 2012 People feel most offended when they know deep in their heart something is true. Consider this point as you read this column. In the heat of a political year when Democrats concoct a war on women and Republicans deny it, we ask the question: Is there a war […]
Morality Matters! By: Paul Murano Whoever wins the battle of language inevitably wins the war. This principle is nowhere truer than in culture wars, where false philosophies depend on manipulation of the language to convert the uncritical masses to a particular worldview. We are now at the end of our second generation that is conditioned […]

By: Paul Murano – November, 2011 No one seems to notice the relationship between two converging occurrences in the news recently.

VALLEY PATRIOT EDITORIAL June, 2009 This past Sunday, a gunman fired one shot and killed famed abortionist George Tiller while he attended “church” services in Wichita, Kansas. Tiller is famous because he is one of very few abortionists who, for a handsome fee, will end the life of viable fetuses, sometimes in the 9th month. In most cases these […]
