                        I received this message in an e-mail from The TEA Party Express and was appalled at what I read.

First Tea Party Victory of the 2014 Cycle

Tea Party Express, the nation's largest Tea Party political action committee, congratulates Mark Sanford on his election victory tonight.

Sanford, a Republican, defeated Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch by a 54 percent to 45 percent margin in the 1st Congressional…

Chris Matthews Attempted to Pin Boston Terrorism on Conservatives

Last week America again became the tragic victim of terrorism. Yet, as Americans were trying to grasp the full…

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…

IS THIS OUR AMERICA?

Those of us who grew up in the 1950's and 60's felt free and able to do anything with our lives. The ripe fruit of freedom was ours for the taking. The Government was there to protect us from outside attacks and…

A lot of people are puzzled by the strange disconnect between the behavior of investors in the stock market and the underlying fundamentals of the economy.  …

Saw this on the site of a liberal I know and saw that a fellow conservative questioned the word "try" in the Girl Scout Promise. I too question what kind of moral lessons we are trying to teach to our young. When in an oath you will say you will "try" it reminds me of Obama's oath and how he has danced around it to the American people. Is that what the liberals want? Americans who will only "try" and not take an oath as a serious and sacred pledge. It is a small sign of the larger…

Here's why real conservatives should oppose the Ryan budget:

1. It maintains the federal leviathan working to control our lives. FACTS: The Ryan budget won't result in the single closure of any sizable federal agency and explicitly avoids layoffs of federal workers. As Roll Call newspaper put it, "Ryan's budget eliminates the deficit in 2023…

                        The situation in our nation today takes me back many years to the early days of a sit-com called “The Beverly Hillbillies”.  I remember the Clampetts hooking up with “Honest John” Shafer, played by long time comedian Phil Silvers.  “Honest John” sold them every monument in Washington, D C (De Cesspool). Those “dumb ole’ Clampetts” just kept giving Honest John” Shafer checks made out to “C.A.S.H.”  If you grew up with the Clampetts, Milburn…

                        It seems someone in Washington is beginning to listen to We the People.  Congressman Frank Wolf (R-VA), Chairman of the Appropriations Committee, and Congressman Jim Gerlach (R-PA), a Ways and Means Committee member, sent a letter to Secretary of State John “Lurch” Kerry telling him they want to speak with the thirty or so “invisible” Americans present in Benghazi the night of the attack on the consulate…

How wrong he is

 The nanny mayor couldn't be more wrong about borrowing if he tried, we can only borrow if people are willing to buy the debt. There is no infinite amount of money we can borrow as Bloomberg claims, at some point people aren't going to take future risk of being paid back. The treasury has been playing games with our borrowing from sometime now, don't expect that to change any time soon.…

WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND, is how American intolerance for different points of view have become a norm especially with those on the left. I talk about this from first person experience, one occurrence was just yesterday. I have seen politics from just about all sides. When I was younger, I leaned more Democratic with some liberal tendencies. As I got a little older, I saw that neither party had the final word on smarts or morals. I became an Independent and voted for the person and their…

The Great American Handout! No matter if they get the handout themselves or not the far left think it is what America should do. They seem to forget it should only be for those who are unable to work, not for those who can get out and find work....any work. The liberal left democrat wants people taken care of from birth to death by Papa Obama Government. They don't see that when that happens in countries the economy goes south and even more important your freedoms are cut.........for your…

Electoral College Reform would have given America a Better Election Day Result For the Nation

Presidents Day is nearing and conservatives will have something to celebrate that day four years from now when the Electoral College is returned to the voters.…

Yesterday was the 102nd birthday of Ronald Reagan, the greatest President of my lifetime, to whom I owe personal and professional thanks for my marriage (to one of his White House secretaries) and my Washington career (beginning as a Reagan Administration political appointee). His personally autographed photo congratulating us on our marriage is one of our most cherished possessions.

Almost two years ago, I researched all of his speeches and writings available on the internet…

It wasn't difficult to see liberals standing on the Mall in Washington, bundled in warm clothing and loudly cheering President Obama's Inaugural Address, with the promise of larger and more activist central government deployed to implement a "progressive" agenda. But I saw another group smiling softly deep in the background. It was the Crony Capitalists, watching from warm, comfortable Fortune 100 boardrooms across America and on Wall Street, and their K Street lobbyists in …

Establishment types like Gingrich have been blaming the "crazy" Tea Party radicals for all of these problems, but the Tea Partiers look to me like the only ones who know what they're doing. Ted Cruz, just elected to the Senate with Tea Party support, explains why Republicans should follow a different part of Gingrich's [1995] example, says Robert Tracinski, editor of “The Tracinski Letter.”

Homeowner defends his family

 Early yesterday morning a local man here in Phoenix shot an intruder attempting to break into his house at 2am. The man was protecting his two young children and warned the intruder several times before shooting the intruder. The man died of his gun shots later, charges are not going to be filed against the man and they shouldn't be.…

Three recent proposals by highly respected conservative health care experts indicate how far out of favor the idea of capping medical malpractice damages through federal law has fallen in the past two years. Increasingly, the experts who guide Republicans in health care policy are accepting the likelihood, as stated by Randy Barnett this summer, that the post-Obamacare Supreme Court would overturn…

Government is the enemy of free people

 The fiscal cliff is looming, both sides trying to position themselves to blame the other while the country sinks further into the rabbit hole. Most of all in Congress, including the President believe in more government to solve the problems created by what else, government. Seeking solutions from what's to blame for the problem will…
