Ryan Blasts Elites
Representative Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, chairman of the House budget committee, gave a forceful, highly regarded speech on Oct. 26, “Saving the American Idea: Rejecting Fear, Envy and the Politics of Division.” Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan, a former Reagan speechwriter, praised the speech in her weekly column (online Oct. 28, in print Oct.

Keep the Pressure On!
A large group of patriots gathered at Rep. Eric Cantor’s office yesterday to personally deliver the message that we do not support a raise in the debt ceiling, unless AT LEAST the Cut, Cap, and Balance approach is implemented. I was impressed at how many people came out with less than 24-hour notice in the [...]
A Debt Ceiling Fold Imminent? Probably.
I have this sinking (but totally expected) feeling that Republicans are about to sell out us and the nation yet again. Before we get to that, though, let’s begin with some good old fashioned class warfare rhetoric from a true artist: “If we do not have revenues, that means there are a bunch of kids [...]
The Tax Increase Con Game
Leftist policies are often (and correctly) described as “tax and spend.” After the stimulus bill passed, though, some flipped the phrase to “spend, then tax,” anticipating that the Left would ultimately demand higher taxes to reduce the gargantuan deficit they created (and we opposed). We now have proof that the change in terminology was correct as well: [...]
Senator Warner Is Ultra-Super-Serious About Lowering These High Gas Prices
So serious that he recently e-mailed me a link to a map showing the cheapest gas in my area. Three locations pop up: one in Powhatan and two in Petersburg. Considering those are all about a 45-minute drive from my house, I’m not sure I’ll call that a net savings in gas. Warner’s e-mail also [...]
The End of the Beginning?
The last not quite two years have been exciting. The Tea Party movement has grown from protests and rallies and inundating Congress with phone calls, e-mails, and visits about pending legislation, to getting real fiscal conservatives elected to Congress. We brought the foundational principles of Constitutionality and fiscal discipline and the issue of mounting debt [...]
More on socialism, with some communism thrown in too
Following up on Jamie’s post from earlier today, I have another fascinating and scary video for you illustrating exactly what we’re up against and that November 2nd can’t mark the end of our activism, but merely the beginning. The Big Government takeover has been advancing for so long without our ever mounting any serious opposition to [...]
ObamaCare (Not Jobs) the Secret Number One Election Issue
I’m not surprised that support for ObamaCare continues to plunge and that it’s a major problem for Democrats who voted for it – I’ve posted about this several times already – but even I underestimated just how much Americans despise this bill and tie their votes to where candidates stand on this single issue. The [...]
The Exodus Picks Up Speed
Bloomberg is reporting another high-level defection from the Obama Administration: Emanuel Likely to Leave Before November for Chicago Mayor Race Sept. 22 (Bloomberg) — Rahm Emanuel, President Barack Obama’s chief of staff, is likely to leave the White House before the November congressional elections to run for mayor of Chicago, people familiar with the matter [...]
Socialism’s Greatest Hits
For anyone who still doubts our nation is being pushed into socialist policies, TheBlaze.com has compiled a top 20 countdown of remarks from leading Big Government advocates, including President Obama and his advisors and allies. They better enjoy topping the charts now, though, because their popularity is coming to an abrupt end. Starting November 2nd.
