Answer: Not very. Based on what [...]
Tea Party Racism?
It is clearly a tactic of the Progressive Left to portray the mainstream Tea Party movement as racist and violent. President Clinton has made it his occuption to change public opinion of the Tea Party mvoement so that people perceive us as somehow dangerous and fringe. Anyone who has been to a Tea Party Rally, [...]
Tea Parties & The Inconvenience of Truth
Retired editor of the Richmond Times-Dispatch, Ross Mackenzie, writes a great piece at RealClearPolitics on the Tea Party movement. It is an absolute read for everyone.

Richmond Tea Party: Seeing is Believing
The following article is by Richmond Tea Party supporter Jill Finnie, who attended Thursday’s rally. RICHMOND – I was one of the thousands of concerned citizens who made my way to Kanawha Plaza for the April 15 Richmond Tea Party Tax Day rally, not sure what to expect.

Tea Parties Should be THANKING the President?
President Obama actually said this: Speaking at a Democratic fundraiser tonight, President Obama touted his administration’s tax cuts and said that the recent tea party rallies across the nation have “amused” him. “You would think they should be saying thank you,” the president said to applause. Really? I suppose if 95% of us actually did [...]

An Honest Reporter…From CNN?
When I first read this, I thought I was being set up for a joke.

Travis reports But here’s what you don’t often see in the coverage of Tea Party rallies: [...]
Exposing Media Bias and the False Narrative agains…
Again and again in the media in the last few weeks we’ve heard the constant droning on and on about how the “rhetoric” coming from the tea parties is “dangerous” and filled with “hate”. We’re called bigots, and it’s implied that we’re somehow against “civil rights”. A few non-representative tea party protest signs are singled [...]
Tea Party Also Beating the President
After a recent poll showing that Americans identify more with the Tea Party than with members of Congress, Rasmussen brings us this: On major issues, 48% of voters say that the average Tea Party member is closer to their views than President Barack Obama. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 44% hold [...]
Women are Leading the Charge
The media continues to languish months to years behind the reality curve, reporting facts long after we in the Tea Party have known them.
