Browsing Archive: May, 2010
The local RINO* establishment thinks YOU are more dangerous than Democrats. They have been terrified of the Tea Party ever since it started, even if they would like to whip us into line and take advantage of us. Their actions speak louder than their words and they have repeatedly demonstrated that they don't support the Principles of Liberty. You deserve to know what has gone on behind the scenes and why some of your efforts have been frustrated. It's also helpful in understanding how so many ... Continue reading ...

Have you noticed how fired up people are all over the country for new faces, new ideas and a return to limited, constitutional government?

Capitalism, according to most liberal pundits (and even Alan Greenspan in a bad mood), is an inherently risky and unstable system that requires government regulation to correct its flaws and moderate its excesses.

Brands political opposition with violent labels and has the media as a willing accomplice.
There's a new narrative taking hold in the wake of the recent tea party protests and the anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing: The tea partiers' intense opposition to the Obama administration has led to overheated political rhetoric, which could in turn lead to violence. Former President Clinton has emerged as a leading voice of this new narrative. In interviews, Clinton said it's "legitimate" to draw... Continue reading ...
