Hatch-Lee Balanced Budget Amendment Is a Win for America

On Mar. 31, Senators Orrin Hatch and Mike Lee introduced a Balanced Budget Amendment (BBA) to make it a constitutional requirement for Washington, D.C., to end our deficit spending and culture of debt. And our national grassroots organization, Pass the Balanced Budget Amendment, is working with them to compel lawmakers to approve this change to [...]

Senator Reid, Let’s Compare Radicals Shall We?

Senator Reid is calling Tea Partiers “radicals.”

The feminine pitch of Senator Reid’s voice not withstanding, in the context of the heavily documented death threats and vandalism recently committed by Progressive Democrat radicals in Wisconsin, calling Tea Partiers radical betrays his apparently giant set of testicles.
Now that Senator Reid has foolishly raised this issue, let’s compare [...]

The Koch Brothers and the Paranoid Style in Liberal Politics

Fascinating profile of Charles and David Koch in The Weekly Standard:

A few years ago Richard Fink told Charles and David [Koch] to prepare for the worst. The brothers were raising their political profile, Fink said, and that would come at a cost. There would be a lot of name-calling. Their opponents would impugn their beliefs, [...]

Republicans Shouldn’t Take Tea Party for Granted

The Tea Party movement is loyal to the Constitution, not the Republican Party!

Remembering the Day America Was Ignored

One year ago today President Barack Obama signed into law government controlled health care. It was a punch in the gut to a majority of Americans who had passionately pleaded that this legislation be thrown in the dumpster. How many times did millions of people travel to Washington D.C., call and email our congressman, or [...]

Family Feud: Do Republicans Need A Therapist?

In the wake of the passage of a continuing resolution (C.R.) by the House and the Senate, that will keep the federal government running for another three weeks, Republican leaders and fiscally conservative members of Congress appear to be not getting along.
A group of 54 House Republicans voted against this latest C.R., which cut $6 [...]

Wisconsin: Why Today’s Court Ruling Means Things Will Get Uglier Before They Get Better

Today, a liberal judge in a liberal Wisconsin county at the request of a liberal district attorney has issued a temporary restraining order that blocks publication — and therefore the enactment, of the law Governor Scott Walker and Republican legislators passed that limits Public Union collective bargaining rights to issues regarding wages only. This order, [...]

Below, you’ll find a compilation of 20 days worth of the death threats, vandalism, and intimidation practiced by pro-union thugs opposed to Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker’s budget repair bill.

Poll Confirms America’s Entitlement Culture…Even Among Tea Partiers

The anti-government “throw-the-bums-out” crowds have had their chance to speak out on how to curtail the deficit and what to do with those hated entitlements that are the antithesis of the America they pine for. A recent WSJ/NBC News poll provided a glimpse of just how dependent on big government entitlements Americans have become–even [...]

NPR Is Collateral Damage in Battle to Brand Tea Party

This article first appeared at the Huffington Post.
The latest James O’Keefe success story against NPR has taken a predictable pattern — panicked press releases and firings, followed by denunciation of O’Keefe in a belated attempt to discredit him. Naturally, conservatives are crowing about it, but I wanted to give a little perspective to those [...]

Love Letter to Media Matters For America

Dear Media Matters:
I just wanted to point out to you that the individual you allege is a “discredited activist,” James O’Keefe,  has launched efforts that have led to ACORN losing financial support from taxpayers via Congress and ACORN was then forced into a re-organization, likely rendering them less effective. Additionally, NJ Governor Christie used a video from O’Keefe’s Project [...]

Loud Mouthed, Violent Teachers Shut Down Townhall Meeting

Is this the distempered, hatemongering that our “teachers” are teaching our children?
The video below is the last seven minutes of a townhall meeting that was held on March 7 in Wisconsin. It was hosted by Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner (R, WI) and State Senator Leah Vukmir (R-Wauwatosa). The video shows that the pols quietly listened to [...]

Barack Obama and Harry Reid Are AWOL in the Fight for Fiscal Responsibility

In the past 10 years, the burden of federal spending has skyrocketed, more than doubling from$1.86 trillion in 2001 to an estimated $3.82 trillion this year.

President Bush deserves a lot of the blame thanks to the no-bureaucrat-left-behind bill that bloated the Department of Education, the corrupt farm bills, the pork-filled transportation bills, the new prescription [...]

Disgruntled Radio Host: ‘Scott Walker’s An A**hole’

From the same MoveOn.org rally that brought us video of the now infamous foaming liberal, who proudly “declared war on righties, Teabaggers and Republicans” over at the always sunshine and roses hotspot known as Daily Kos, we bring you yet another performance from an angry liberal.

NPR Exec Blasts Tea Party in Hidden-Camera Video

WASHINGTON (AP) – A National Public Radio executive was captured on hidden camera calling the tea party movement racist and xenophobic and said NPR would be better off without federal funding, in an embarrassment likely to fuel the latest round of conservative attacks on public broadcasting.
The video was posted Tuesday by James O’Keefe, the same [...]

Government Shut-down? So What?

According to news reports, Team Obama and House Republicans are at least $50 billion apart in the budget negotiations for FY2011. I’m willing to bet that Team Obama and Senate Democrats won’t agree to even $20 billion in spending cuts.

And that’s a far cry from the GOP’s annualized $100 billion pledge-to-America mark, and an even [...]

AUDIO: MoveOn Coordinator Caught On Tape At Union Rally: Tea Party Driven By Racism

Why Koch Industries Is Speaking Out

Charles Koch in today’s Wall Street Journal:

Years of tremendous overspending by federal, state and local governments have brought us face-to-face with an economic crisis. Federal spending will total at least $3.8 trillion this year—double what it was 10 years ago. And unlike in 2001, when there was a small federal surplus, this year’s projected [...]

Obama is AWOL in Oil Crisis

We have a major oil crisis unfolding now and where’s Obama?  He was last spotted giving aid and comfort to public union thugs in their battle against the taxpayers of Wisconsin.

We now, this week, have oil prices busting through $100 a barrel. This will create major havoc to our already anemic economy. How did we [...]
