Dick Cheney rails against the NY Times for printing the Bush Administration’s Terrorist Surveillance Program in his speech at the American Enterprise Institute today. He keeps up his role as the main critic of the Obama Administration and is warning Obama not to go to far from the Bush playbook. This is a smart political move as it prevents the Obama Administration and the media from blaming Bush for Obama’s foreign policy failings. It also puts pressure on Obama to keep Americans... Read More→

#tcot In an article entitled “Students Confusion About Capitalism” on the American Spectator website where Ralph R. Reiland asked 50 high school students to “Define capitalism in 10-20 words?” These answers sound a lot like “socialism” to me. I’ve included some of the most outrageous responses below: “Capitalism is making the most money for the government and having the government control the people.” “Capitalism is the money that... Read More→

Nearly a week after Sen. Arlen Specter changed parties to become a “DINO” or Democrat In Name Only, the mainstream media has attempted to go for the knockout punch against the GOP. They have said that the party needs to go back to being a “Big Tent” party that needs to be able to attract moderates in the center. Although that is true…the mainstream media are completely wrong on how you achieve that goal. Moderates, or “Independents” are often people who... Read More→

The big news in Washington for the past two days have been Sen. Arlen Specter’s defection from the Republican Party for the Democratic Party. “Benedict Arlen” was the ultimate “RINO” who often went against the party line, such as voting for Pres. Obama’s Stimulus Package, which passed in February. Below are some interesting articles on a “defection” that will eventually make the GOP not weaker, but stronger. New York Times: “We Didn’t... Read More→

It’s quite amazing what interesting bites of information you can get while surfing through Twitter. Here is what I found: Huffington Post: Smiles for Smirks: Sean Penn There is way too much to refute hear…so let me just list what the Academy Award winner had to say in this short 3 paragraph column: Former President Gerald Ford should have put Richard Nixon in jail. President Obama gained a “strategic advantage by “smiling” at Venezuela dictator Hugo Chavez. Former... Read More→

Last night at City Hall Park in New York City, people stood up and said that they were willing to fight against government intrusion in their life. They would not let the government get away with reckless spending and irresponsible tax policies. According to the New York City Police Department, 12,500 people attended the Tax Day Tea Party for one reason…and one reason only. THEY LOVE LIBERTY AND FREEDOM. They don’t need great speeches, stagecraft, or platitudes like “Hope &... Read More→

Today was a great day to be an American as people everywhere in this country stood up to big government, reckless spending, and high taxes…and said enough is enough. New York Times: Tax Day Is Met With Tea Parties The “Grey Lady” gives a liberal slant to today’s Tea Parties focusing more on the speeches by politicians, then the atmosphere of the events. No comments from people who attended the tea parties in the article. Also…they highlighted that only 200 people showed... Read More→

Below are links from around the web of articles relating to Tax Day Tea Parties being held today: Washington Independent: Tea Party Activists: Tax Day Events Will Attract ‘Silent Majority’ Good article explaining the tension among conservatives, libertarians, and mainstream Republicans heading into today’s tea parties. Many of those who began the tea party movement are afraid their message is being jeopardized by mainstream Republicans who supported the huge spending... Read More→

Michael Gerson in the Washington Post states that President Obama is becoming increasingly unpopular with Catholics showing that his disapproval ratings are up 14% and have risen 21% among non-Hispanic church members. This is important politically for the president since, according to Pew Research, he won Catholics by 9% this year…after the George W. Bush won the same group by 5% in 2004. It looks from these recent numbers that the Democratic gain among Catholics has been lost. Gerson points... Read More→
