2012: Outing Establishment GOP As The Real Enemy
By Christopher G. Adamo Few political events have caught fire in the American Heartland with the swiftness of Congressman Allen West’s January 28, 2102 Lincoln Day Dinner address in West Palm Beach Florida.

Santorum Scolds GOP Frontrunners Over Personal Attacks
JON E. DOUGHERTY, NEWSROOM AMERICA Rank-and-file Republicans may still be wrestling over whom to support as the next GOP presidential nominee, but for Rick Santorum, one thing that might help voters decide is if the field's two top candidates would quit sniping at each other. Santorum, a former U.S. senator from Pennsylvania who won the Iowa [...]

No Man is an Island: Why Individualism Can’t Sustain Freedom
Ryan Messmore, Heritage Foundation Is individualism adequate to sustain liberty and rein in government?

America needs to move away from this [...]
What America Needs from the 2012 Elections
By Christopher G. Adamo Assessing the sum total of the latest news, one is left wondering whether to laugh or be seriously alarmed. Those pathetic bands of shiftless loiterers on Wall Street and in prominent locations across the nation, while hardly overwhelming in number, nonetheless represent the latest iteration of the Obama/Alinsky [...]
Reduce Regulatory Burden on Cement Industry
Liberty Alerts, JBS Freedom Campaign Cement is vital to this nation’s infrastructure, the housing industry, and manufacturing and therefore to the economy and jobs, something high profile politicians and federal agency spokesmen continually say they are trying to protect and even expand.

Michele Bachmann Shattering Stereotypes of Conservative Women
Liberty Alerts, American Center for Law and Justice Minnesota Congresswoman and Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann is destroying the left's definition of feminism.

Obama Wrong About Texas Being Republican for ‘Historic Reasons’

No Compromising, None
Perspectives with Phil Brennan Informed Views from Outside the Beltway Speaker in Waiting John Benoir faces quite a few daunting challenges as he goes about the job of organizing the new Republican majority in the House of Representatives, not the least of which will be forging an overall consensus on the direction his GOP membership wants to [...]
More Republican Pledge Hypocrisy
by Laurence Vance, LewRockwell.com The “Pledge to America” recently unveiled by House Republicans is more Republican gobbledygook. Republican promises to cut waste, fraud, abuse, and earmarks, and institute reform, change, privatization, and accountability are always so vague, misleading, and exception-ridden that they are – without [...]
Bloomberg Wants to be a Kingmaker
By Phyllis Schlafly New York City's billionaire Mayor, Michael Bloomberg, has decided he wants to be a political kingmaker using his own deep pockets plus his rich friends. He's unhappy about the remarkable success of the Tea Partiers in nominating conservative candidates, and he wants to remake the Republican Party under the label [...]
Mitt Romney is Toast
By Bryan Fischer I just returned from the Values Voter Summit in Washington, D.C., and the main takeaway is this: Mitt Romney is toast. Tony Perkins and FRC Action were entirely right to invite Romney to speak. (AFA Action was a co-sponsor of the event.) He is eager to court the pro-family community, and deserved the opportunity to persuade [...]
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 slated [...]
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 a [...]
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.

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.

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.

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 habits. [...]
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.

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
by Steve Farrell Democrats In Drag, Part 8 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 [...]
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).

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.

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
By Steve Farrell Democrats In Drag, Part 7 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.

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.

Contract With America: The Betrayal Begins
By Steve Farrell Democrats In Drag, Part 6 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 than [...]
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
By Steve Farrell Democrats In Drag, Part 4 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 [...]
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
By Steve Farrell Democrats In Drag, Part 3 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 [...]
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.

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 until 9 [...]
Dem Donor Gets $25 Million No-Bid Govt. Contract

The Quayled Lady — Why You Should Forget Sarah Palin — Selwyn Duke
By Selwyn Duke Really, there’s precious little fairness in the world. People tend to be slaves to emotion, and prejudices often reign supreme even (in fact, especially) in those who rail against prejudice. This is why we’ll see millions of Americans reflexively dismiss a politician simply because of the letter following his name; it is why [...]
Resolved: Remove the Marxist Majority — Henry Lamb
By Henry Lamb The nation’s most important New Year’s resolution is to remove the Marxist majority in Washington. The most important question facing the nation is how to do it. There can be little doubt that the national sentiment opposes the Marxist policies being imposed by the current majority in Washington. Poll after poll, after [...]
All Abuzz About Buzzwords — Steve Farrell
The Moral Liberal with Steve Farrell A senior Senator a few weeks back complained that Tea Party Conservatives were apt to use a particular buzz word ... "socialism." He was angry because his re-electability ratings were dangerously low and, apparently, the buzzword gang, not his voting record, was to blame. (more...)
‘Tis the Week Before Christmas — Henry Lamb
Constitutionally Yours, Henry Lamb ‘Tis the week before Christmas and all through the land, not a freedom is safe from Obama’s hand. Bankers, bewildered, before him now bow, while auto-makers, thankful, praise his cash cow. With energy and health care nearing control, his grasp on the nation is as he foretold. The people are stirred by his [...]
A Little Deja Vu — Brennan
by Phil Brennan In their best let's-you-and-them-fight mode, the bought-and-sold Obama worshipping mainstream media is advising the Republican Party to surrender to its tiny left-leaning wing they call the moderates and allow them to set the GOP's agenda. (more...)
Schlafly: Good News About the 2009 Election
by Phyllis Schlafly Ever since Barack Obama's election, the mainstream media and liberal commentators have been gleefully proclaiming the death of the Republican Party and predicting it could be revived only with mouth-to-mouth resuscitation from "moderates" and RINOs (Republicans In Name Only). The November 3 elections proved that those [...]
