Erstwhile C.I.A. operatives turned Jihadis?

Many reporters, in the first day or so after the Boston Marathon terror bombing repeatedly stressed the caution that “we really are not certain at this time, what the motivation for the attack is”.…

All hell is breaking loose and we don’t even recognize it because we’ve been in purgatory for so long with the Chicago,…

People and things are defined, not by what they say, but rather by what they do. Nowhere is that more evident than it is in politics. At present, as we all know, there are a multitude of organizations, “think tanks” (wherever did that term come from?) and people in the public eye claiming to be “conservatives”.

But are they what they claim to be?

For instance, and in my view, most glaring is a single omission. That’s right, “omission”. It’s not a statement, but rather a…

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…

On January 16, 2013, President Obama signed 23 Executive Orders which he claimed are aimed at reducing gun violence.  Now begins the initiative to bring his comprehensive gun control scheme to Congress. The cornerstone of the scheme will include more inclusive and…

VOTING RIGHTS LAW DRAWS SKEPTICISM FROM JUSTICES

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/28/us/politics/conservative-justices...

Crony Capitalists (CCs) never quit trying to entice federal officials into giving them special access or favors and shutting millions of the rest of us out of court, so they have no accountability to a local jury for negligence or shoddy service. They've enlisted scores of Members of Congress, many of them self-proclaimed backers of states' rights, in an effort to to override the Founding Fathers' clear guidance that Congress doesn't have authority over state tort law, specifically with…

FEDERAL COURT FINDS NO CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO CARRY A CONCEALED WEAPON

                         The big deal they are making over this sequester nonsense is giving me a headache.  I have made this point on several social network site discussions so I thought I would put it all together on one place.  Obama, his cabinet minions, and all of the members of Congress come out and say; Social Security checks will stop, meat plants will shut down, the FBI won’t be able to track terrorists, the Border Patrol won’t be able to secure the…

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 …

FEDERAL JUDGE RULES WHITE HOUSE CAN KEEP KILLING AMERICANS IN SECRET

http://freedomoutpost.com/2013/01/federal-judge-rules-white-house-c...

Unfortunately, the United States of America, as envisioned by our Founding Fathers took a blow with the re-election of Obama.  Obama, a confirmed socialist/marxist, will lead this country down the path of a European-style government where "collectivism" trumps individual rights.  What happened in Greece and Spain is coming to these shores. I'm sure many of our early politicians are turning over in their graves with the results of the election.

What bothers me even more is the…

At a time when the biggest issues are the economy, the reform of entitlement programs, the national debt and deficit, many Americans are blissfully unaware of the machine that keeps their taxpayer dollars flowing from every federal government department and agency. Even with a $16 trillion…

Have any TPN members been outraged and insulted by Solyndra and the many other financial abuses of the office of the president perpetrated by President Obama? Here was the deal: forward money to some shaky business in the fringe solar business to prop up its principals and at the same time placate the base. Then receive plenty of campaign funding before or after the fact.

The following is language I’m forwarding to my congressional representative. Please consider forwarding it to…
