Virginia House of Delegates, Special, 2021

Posted January 2, 2021, 4:10 p.m.

A special election will be held on January 5 to fill vacancies in the 2nd and 90th districts of the Virginia House of Delegates. I make the following recommendations in those races:

2nd District: Former Delegate Carol Foy (D-VA 2nd) resigned in December to focus on her gubernatorial campaign. Candi King (D) and Heather Mitchell (R) stand as candidates to replace her. I recommend voting for Heather Mitchell.
90th District: Former Delegate Joseph Lindsey (D-VA 90th) resigned in November after being appointed as a state judge. Sylvia Bryant (R) and Norfolk City Councilwoman Angelia Graves (Superward 7), who is running as a Democrat, stand as candidates to replace him. I recommend voting for Sylvia Bryant.

Scott Bradford is a writer and technologist who has been putting his opinions online since 1995. He believes in three inviolable human rights: life, liberty, and property. He is a Catholic Christian who worships the trinitarian God described in the Nicene Creed. Scott is a husband, nerd, pet lover, and AMC/Jeep enthusiast with a B.S. degree in public administration from George Mason University.

Quotes

Men whose only concern is other people’s opinion of them are like actors who put on a poor performance to win the applause of people of poor taste. . . .

Nicolas Chamfort

Never do anything against conscience even if the state demands it.

Albert Einstein

Because God can be relegated to remote times and places and to ultimate causes, we would have to know a great deal more about the universe than we do now to be sure that no such God exists.

Carl Sagan

Truth isn’t some malleable thing that changes with the times. It is truth. There is an objective reality, and an objective morality, that can be discerned with faith and reason.

Scott Bradford

Let Republicans be mindful of their heritage. It was moral conviction—and the courage to act on moral conviction—that gave birth to the Republican Party and made it grand. Now it is old but need not be any less grand.

Robert George

Only theology has as its essential subject matter the infinite, the transcendent, and the eternal. The subject might exhaust our inner resources, but we can never exhaust its inner riches.

Scott Hahn

We must overcome our enemies by gentleness; win them over by forbearance. Let them be punished by their own conscience, not by our wrath.

Gregory of Nazianzus

Man is one name belonging to every nation upon earth. In them all is one soul though many tongues.

Tertullian

With insufficient data it is easy to go wrong.

Carl Sagan

Ice deserves no credit for being cold, nor fire for being hot; it is only those who have the possibility of choice that can be praised for their acts.

Fulton Sheen

The West is able to look at its own foibles and laugh, even make fun of its own fundamental principles. There is no Islamic equivalent to Monty Python’s Life of Brian. Can we look forward to seeing The Life of Mo anytime in the future?

Ibn Warraq

We can chart our future clearly and wisely only when we know the path which has led to the present.

Adlai Stevenson II

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age.

Jesus Christ

But please remember: this is only a work of fiction. The truth, as always, will be far stranger.

Arthur C. Clarke

Because we are so scientific now—and so determinedly materialistic—it is very difficult for us even to understand that other ways of seeing can and do exist.

Jordan Peterson

It is religion and morality alone, which can establish the principles upon which freedom can securely stand.

John Adams

We believe that every person is precious, that people are more important than things, and that the measure of every institution is whether it threatens or enhances the life and dignity of the human person.

U.S. Conf. of Catholic Bishops

All are lunatics, but he who can analyze his delusion is called a philosopher.

Ambrose Bierce

What does it profit, my brethren, if a man says he has faith but has not works? Can his faith save him?

James the Just

Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people.

John Adams
