Scandal: Senate Democrats, including supporters of the  Disclose Act, provided the names of groups they wanted targeted in a  taxpayer-funded witch hunt overseen by an IRS employee and Obama campaign  donor.

Using the Citizens United case as a pretext, retiring Sen. Carl Levin, …

The Associated Press has discovered the risks of performing

as a henchman for the Obama Mafia. The 1st Amendment is the actual casualty.

It is my opinion that the Associated Press has been, in the most general sense, a reliable partner to the political…

Woven into the fabric of our unique American culture is the timeless wisdom of founding father, Benjamin Franklin.  Franklin, the author of the phrase, “An Ounce of Prevention is worth a Pound of Cure”, would be appalled at much that is going on in American politics, but probably not…

Back in 1993, I watched the Clint Eastwood movie, 'In The Line of Fire' and pondered the plot line of the crazed assassin building a handgun out of wood in his machine shop, capable of delivering a fatal bullet. It struck me as far fetched at the time. It turns out it was prophetic, with the exception of…

Yes, I came from the baby boomer generation – I joined hands with many of my fellow citizens and played around in the sandbox until all of the sand was gone.  During my time I was not a willing participant but as the “norm” changed so did I…

Our Nation was at war during this time…

Could these people possibly do a worse job of running California than the State Legislature?  I can't see how it would be possible.  Chances are they'd do better purely by accident.…

                        The more things change the more they stay the same.  I am amazed at the scam Marco Rubio is trying to pull on the American people.  The “Gang of 8” comes up with this great plan that will “protect We the People” while showing some “compassionate conservativism” towards those who break our immigration laws.  Of course, as is the usual case, there are holes in this “plan” big enough to sail an aircraft carrier through…

Only two Presidents have faced impeachment. One was Andrew Johnson in 1868 and the impeachment was defeated by one vote. Cited for violating the Tenure of Office Act, it was later found unconstitutional. The other was Bill Clinton in 1998, charged with perjury and obstruction of justice, the Senate voted against impeachment on either charge.

In retrospect, if Clinton had been removed from office, the nation would have had Al Gore replace him. I…

I read today a Facebook status from my future daughter-in-law, who was telling her friends that she had just completed jury duty.  She commented, “After a week of trials and deliberations, it seems awfully bittersweet that jury duty is over and life as routine shall now resume.  Sometimes it is a blessing in disguise to have other intellectuals brought together in such a way.  How lovely it can be to hold intelligent conversations unrelated to our daily lives.” 

I have only…

Leaders of TEA Party Organizations,

I have seen the different groups in the TEA Party family all working independently, or so it seems to me, on projects that are all very important.  I know that one of the draws of the TEA Party is independence but the time has come that all of you must unite to fight the common enemy, an out of control government.  Both political parties are unresponsive to the citizens and only getting worse.  There are good conservatives in…

                        My wife and I recently sent separate e-mails to Sen. Tom Coburn asking him to join Rand Paul’s filibuster of Harry Reid’s latest gun control scheme.  We sent messages on the same day, she from her office and me from our home.  Neither of us knew about the other until that evening when we sat down for dinner and discussed the day’s events.  The responses we received were a day apart, hers on April 9th and mine on April…

Self-governing individuals are necessary to have a self-governing society. That is, only a moral and disciplined people are capable of being governed by a limited government.…

                        John McCain doesn’t understand filibustering gun control???  I am astonished at the statement, and at the same time, not the least little bit surprised by it.  He really means what he says; he is oblivious, and totally flabbergasted.  HE DOESN’T GET IT!!!!…

                        Since Barack Obama has said he is going to send federal agents into Oklahoma and other states to enforce Obamacare, what is there to make me believe he won’t send federal agents in to enforce his gun registration/confiscation scheme?  If he “dictates” an executive order that I have to turn in or register any weapons and I refuse, who is going to enforce that dictate?  If Congress decrees that I cannot own particular types of weapons or…

Speaker Boehner (R-OH) holds the veto power over the U.S. Senate has they begin to consider the gun control bill on the floor of the Senate. The Speaker has an obligation to uphold the U.S. Constitution and he can do just that by using a procedure that gives him much control over the gun control debate and other Obama legislative agenda items in the coming months. Hear how: http://www.gradegov.com/news.php?id=227

                        Coming on the heels of executive orders that by-pass Congress and the Constitution on the 2^nd Amendment we now find Barack Obama and his henchmen shredding even more of the Constitution.  Jay Carney essentially threatened local sheriffs who have said they will uphold their oath of office to the Constitution and refuse to obey unconstitutional federal gun laws.  Carney came out and said they better obey Obama’s orders because of…

Have you gone to a gun show recently. If you have not gone by all means go. It will be a real eye opener, Where there used to be a couple hundred people attending these show. Hardly enough to be able to pay for the rental of  the building  there are now THOUSANDS! In our small town we had a gun show that over 10,000 people attended on 1 day! The one thing our Government has falied to stamp out is peoples internal yearning desire to remain free! It a gene that has been handed over to us from…

The video link here is beyond chilling http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNuiLJHejKM&feature=player_embedded.  The most chilling aspect of its beginning is the looks on the faces of the people.  These                         are people who seem to be surprised and confused.  These things don’t happen here!  It often seems as though things happen overnight but it doesn’t happen that…

                        I just read a story that made my skin crawl.   http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/constitution/item/14892-obama-admin-ignores-nullification-federal-agents-will-enforce-obamacare .  Barack Obama has declared that the federal government will send federal agents into states to take over their…
