Republicans Derail Tea Party Event Over Social Issues
By Bryan Fischer A Tea Party was scheduled this past Sunday for Lexington Green - you know, where the shot was fired that was heard ‘round the world - but it got canceled at the last minute. Why? Apparently because big tent Tea Party Republicans are scared to death of social issues. Brian Camenker, the president of MassResistance, was [...]
November is a Long Way Off
By Phil Brennan It is the common wisdom that Republicans will score a significant victory in the coming Congressional elections and it has them salivating over the prospect of taking over control of the House and perhaps even the Senate. Unfortunately, this may well turn out to be a case of counting your chickens before they hatch. There's [...]
Funding Corruption and Waste in Afghanistan — Ron Paul
Texas Straight Talk with Ron Paul Last week, GOP chairman Michael Steele came under fire for daring to say what a lot of Americans already know – that our involvement in Afghanistan is an ill-advised quagmire with no end in sight. After nearly 10 years and approaching $1 trillion spent, the conflict is going nowhere because there is [...]
More Power for the Fed — Ron Paul
Texas Straight Talk with Ron Paul Last week I was pleased to see my Republican colleagues take up the cause to fully and completely audit the Federal Reserve by including my language from the Federal Reserve Transparency Act in a Motion to Recommit the financial regulation reform bill. Although this effort was defeated by the Democrat [...]
Too Much Government in the Gulf — Ron Paul
Texas Straight Talk with Ron Paul Sadly, the disaster in the Gulf continues this week as BP’s efforts at containment keep hitting snags and residents along the coast scramble to clean up and defend their shores and wildlife. Many have criticized the federal government in the past weeks for not doing enough. The reality is there is only so [...]
A Rare Phenomena! — Steve Farrell
by Steve Farrell It is a rare phenomena, but sometimes Johnny-come-lately political movements get it right. Case in point: The Tea Party Revolution's wise choice to hold up the The United States Constitution rather than the Republican Party as the standard, the true red, white and blue American Ensign to which we must rally to save our [...]
Why Governments Hate Gold — Ron Paul
Texas Straight Talk, Ron Paul This past week several emerging and ongoing crises took attention away from the ongoing sovereign debt problems in Greece. The bailouts are merely kicking the can down the road and making things worse for taxpaying citizens, here and abroad. Greece is unfortunately not unique in its irresponsible spending [...]
Penn. Legislature In Corruption “Time Warp”
Judicial Watch, Corruption Chronicles Lawmakers in a state rocked by numerous political scandals refuse to adopt sweeping changes recommended by a special grand jury appointed to root out persistent corruption in the legislature. The Pennsylvania Attorney General’s office assigned the special [...]
Rand Paul Was Right; Liberals Say So — Bryan Fischer
By Bryan Fischer Rand Paul argues that the constitutional principle of freedom of association allows private individuals and businesses to decide with whom they will associate, and that it is not the business of government to tell them with whom they must fraternize. That's not racism. Protecting the right of association is what allows churches [...]
More Blank Checks to the Military Industrial Complex — Ron Paul
Texas Straight Talk, Ron Paul Congress, with its insatiable appetite for spending, is set to pass yet another “supplemental” appropriations bill in the next two weeks. So-called supplemental bills allow Congress to spend beyond even the 13 annual appropriations bills that fund the federal government. These are akin to a family that [...]
Term Limits and the Citizen Legislature Scam — Steve Farrell
by Steve Farrell In April of 1996, the traditionally liberal Democratic Party did something it is, in theory, never supposed to do. It out-conservatived the Republican Party, stood up for the U.S. Constitution, and threw out a radical proposal designed to transform the United States from a republic to a democracy. This the congressional [...]
Conservatives Celebrate Defeat of Moderate Bob Bennett – David Pyne
by David T. Pyne Something very historic happened at the Utah State Republican Convention which was held at the Salt Palace in Salt Lake City last Saturday (May 8th). Utah's three-term incumbent Senator Robert Bennett was eliminated in the second round of voting by the conservative state delegates. It was the first time in nearly a century that [...]
Conservatism on Defense Will Ultimately Lose — Chris Adamo
By Christopher G. Adamo Seven years ago this month, President George W. Bush made his famed landing on the Aircraft Carrier Abraham Lincoln as it returned from a tour of duty in the Middle East. An event that should have been heralded across the nation as an unparalleled symbol of America’s might and vigor in the War on Terror was then [...]
G.O.P. To Insist On 10th Amendment
Liberty Alerts, NewsMax.com, Sean Lengell Republicans are so determined to stop what they say is abusive and unlawful expansion of the federal government under President Obama that they are willing to abdicate power to the states to do it. Taking its cue from the Bill of Rights, the Republican Study Committee, a group of conservative House [...]
Using Jefferson As A Cloak for Revolution — Steve Farrell
Democrats In Drag, Part 7, Steve Farrell Tyranny will never bind a great and free people by preceding its terrible deed with a confession of ill intent. To believe that is to believe nonsense. In free societies slavery is won by consent; and consent is won with a disarming smile, a sympathetic heart, a list of promises to groups, a series of [...]
Are McCain Republicans Finally Seeing the Light? — Chris Adamo
By Christopher G. Adamo On the day following the abominable March 21 congressional vote to subvert the Constitution and subjugate the American people under the dubious auspices of Obamacare, Senator John McCain (R.-AZ) voiced his displeasure with Democrat jubilation over their victory. Apparently, on this occasion, McCain did not appreciate all [...]
Wearing Politically Correct Handcuffs — T.F. Stern
By T.F. Stern There’s an article by Michael Dykes posted on the Yahoo News site pointing attention to the fact that many Republicans have lost their regard for keeping quiet; often times spewing antagonistic words in public meetings. The story came to light as a heckler from the gallery shouted “Baby Killer” during the proceedings prior [...]
Contract With America: The Betrayal Begins — Steve Farrell
Democrats In Drag, Part 6, Steve Farrell On the steps of the U.S. Capitol on September 27, 1994, more than 300 candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives stood under an unusually warm, sun-filled sky and made history. All of them were there joining hands and rubbing shoulders with one goal in mind: to help launch a new revolution -- the [...]
Pelosi Backwards On Tea Parties and G.O.P. — Chris Adamo
By Christopher G. Adamo Democrats continue to bounce between occasional brief attempts at pandering to grassroots America, and their more innate reversion to unrestrained contempt for the beliefs and sentiments of the heartland. In the process, they reveal a willingness to resort to any concocted lie in hopes of fooling enough of the people, [...]
Alan Simpson Continues Where Specter Left Off — Chris Adamo
By Christopher G. Adamo Former Education Secretary William Bennett is chiding those who are advancing the notion of forming a “third party.” And he is absolutely right for doing so. Such a rift within the conservative movement at this critical moment would do more to propel the liberal Democrat agenda to uncontested political dominance [...]
This is War — Phil Brennan
Perspectives With Phil Brennan Informed Views from Outside the Beltway If current speculation is on target, there is going to be a wholesale slaughter in the congressional elections in November, with angry voters across the nation venting their anger at incumbents they believe have betrayed them by supporting the Obama health care scam [...]
Constitutional Consistency — Is It Asking Too Much
Free Enterprise Zone, The Freeman, Steven Horwitz No one ever accused progressives and conservatives of being overly consistent about freedom. After all, we classical liberals frequently say we want the State out of both the bedroom and the boardroom, in contrast to progressives and conservatives who seem only to care about one of the two. [...]
Groveling in the Gutter of the Gulags — Steve Farrell
Democrats In Drag, Part 4, Steve Farrell If ever there was a person suffering under the delusion that there really was a nickel's difference between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, Newt Gingrich's surfing in Alvin Toffler's Third Wave and his application of the same as the launching pad of 21st century Republicanism should have [...]
Angry voters track RINOs and Incumbents — Henry Lamb
by Henry Lamb Barack Obama told reporters that he rode the same wave of public anger into office that brought Scott Brown into Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat. Not quite. The wave of public anger that elected Scott Brown is focused on Barack Obama and the Congressional Democrats who are pushing his policies. The public anger is more than [...]
Gingrich, Toffler, and Gore, A Peculiar Trio — Steve Farrell
Democrats In Drag, Part 3, Steve Farrell The most-heralded achievement and high water mark of Republican leadership since the revival of America's military superiority under Ronald Reagan is, without question, the coming forth of the "Contract With America" during the election of 1994. Its 100-day surge through the House of Representatives, [...]
Preventing “Moderates” From Hijacking The Massachusetts Election — Adamo
By Christopher G. Adamo Scott Brown’s stunning victory in Massachusetts has predictably generated comparisons of the current political landscape to 1994, when Republicans swept the mid-term elections, propelling them to majority status in both houses of Congress. From local and state level offices all the way to Washington, Democrats [...]

Liberty Alerts, NewsMax.com, David A. Patten A stunning new poll conducted by Newsmax/Zogby reveals that Massachusett's new Republican Sen.-elect Scott Brown could defeat President Barack Obama in a presidential election.

How to Watch the State of the Union Address — Alan Caruba
By Alan Caruba Here are some suggestions on how to watch the State of the Union speech. The Washington, D.C. lingo for it is “SOTU” because Washington loves acronyms and, of course, it is delivered by the POTUS, President of the United States. It is rumored that his Secret Service code name is “Moron.” The speech doesn’t begin [...]
Dem Donor Gets $25 Million No-Bid Govt. Contract
Liberty Alerts, Judicial Watch Although President Obama has repeatedly vowed to end the unscrupulous practice of awarding no-bid government contracts to politically-connected firms, his administration has just given a multi million-dollar sweetheart deal to a Democratic donor without considering competitive bids. The $25 million [...]
