The Second American Revolution will not be Violent!
A very interesting Rasmussen poll was released today. The headline reads, “66% ANGRY AT GOVERNMENT POLICIES, 60% SAY NEITHER PARTY HAS ANSWERS.”
Who are these angry people? According to Rasmussen they are 90% of the Republicans, 44% of the Democrats and 77% of the Independents.
Wow. How can this be? Nancy Pelosi assures us that it is only a vocal minority who show up at Tea Parties and Town Hall meetings and…

For those of you who watch Glenn Beck on Fox News regularly, you will know that after he exposed the corruption of Van Jones and ACORN, he started a new project. He gave a lesson about the 56 Founding Fathers who risked everything to create our Constitution and Bill of Rights to found our new country.
He realized how much help the two 20-something young film-makers contributed with their secret videos of the corrupt actions of ACORN employees, including using taxpayers' money to fund…

There is a succinct, prescient, and informative column in the New York Post today, September 23rd, relative to why doctors are NOT in favor of Obama healthcare, written by Marc K. Siegel. It states:
1. A majority of physicians oppose the proposed healthcare plan, and almost half would consider early retirement. Is this any wonder? Right now, doctors are paid a miniscule amount in reimbursement for the treatment of Medicaid and Medicare patients. This I know because I see what is paid…

Open letter to Congressmen Jim Cooper and Bart Gordon
King George underestimated the anger and commitment of the American colonist. It would be a grave mistake for you and your fellow congressmen to underestimate the anger and commitment of the American people today. We will not be arriving at your home with torches and pitchforks, as ACORN would be, nor advocating violent revolution, but we will be arriving at ballot…

HEALTH CARE for all: A new tax on the American public is coming! For those who do not have insurance, they will soon be FORCED to acquire health insurance or else be FINED if they do not. Either way, these folks who have made decisions for themselves vis-a-vis health care will no longer have a choice as they will suffer one way or the other financially. The very poor will receive some assistance at the cost of the rest of the country. For folks making north of $25,000 a year, this will be a…

A question was posted elsewhere asking if it seems that the groups are slowing down after the tea parties.
In my opinion, I think that after all the tea parties and rallies, there are still a great number of people that are asking themselves, "What next?" People are beginning to understand that it is only by a complete shift back to the principles of our founders rather than the slide to "moderate." It is very obvious that we've slid WAY TOO FAR towards socialism/marxism under both…

It has begun. We first learned of the assault on corporate pay when the banks taking TARP would have their pay packages looked at rigorously and "approved" by the Pay Czar or perhaps by "The One" himself. That assault has been broadened to include ALL banks recently.
And now we learn on Fox News that there are some CORPORATIONS which have "voluntarily" said they would take a look at the issue of pay and make some changes. These corporations want to "get ahead" of the curve on the…

In an unprecedented move, a sitting "president" of the United States plans on being sworn in to chair the U.N. Security Council at the end of this week. There is a very salient article at www.jaghunters.blogspot.com which spells out exactly what this means for this country. We will officially become subservient to the U.N. Charter instead of our Constitution.
Obama is a madman and must be removed from office. I can't believe Congress is going to let this happen. I have already called…

A very interesting article in Saturday's New York Post (with all the news that's fit to print...and also some that's not fit, but politically it's a great paper for me!) written by Meghan Clyne put the address of "The One" to the Wall Street Community firmly in perspective.
His "fixing Wall Street" speech was focused primarily on blaming Wall Street for the economic ills the country is now going through. I could not stomach listening to the whole thing but did pick up a bit of it…

Americans need to come together without political party divisions. While we as individuals may have different political ideals, we as Americans all agree that the citizens of this country should have a voice in the policy debates that directly affect our lives.
The two Parties hold us hostage by dividing the people with a Left/Right ideology.
By letting the two party system keep us at odds with one another they know that “divided we fall”.
The 2000 Presidential elections brought…

If the GOP has any hopes of building credibility, stop supporting the Acorn loving, admitted Arlen Spectre like Charlie Crist and back someone who is for the true Constitutional Government. Be a Refounder and stop supporting those who think the GOP should be more like the Democrats. All the hate speech and corruption coming out of the left and the GOP falling down the same path leaves an independent like me not caring who wins.
Clean up your party!

I read a very interesting article today put out by Forbes.com called "When Work Doesn't Pay for the Middle Class." This article speaks about a 50-year-old divorcee in Scarsdale, NY, who recently lost her job which paid her $120,000 a year. It notes that she would be better off getting a $60,000 per year job as, since she has a daughter going to college, at a salary of $120,000 annually she would pay $16,500 more in federal and state taxes, would not qualify for the five-year $12,000-a-year cut…

It’s a matter of trust.
This nation was founded and built upon a set of inalienable principles. Among which were individual responsibility, limited government, free enterprise, state’s rights and the opportunity for individual excellence.
These are the bedrock principles that have led to our greatness as a nation and our leadership of the free world. Ordinary Americans are a peace loving and tolerant people. We choose to quietly go about living our lives and allowing our…

Follow along with me everyone. It shouldn’t be hard. We will be travelling along a trail of logic and common sense…liberals, feel free to find another article, say at Huffington Post, which you will be able to keep up with.
Last week President Obama gave a speech to Congress. In it, he claimed that illegal immigrants would not be included in the healthcare reform bill, and that those who claim that they are were fear-mongering and being dishonest. Of course everyone knows now the…

This is the web site for the President and your representatives, congressmen. Just put your zip code in. The President and all representatives will pop up. You will be able to write them all a letter at once and send it. I have used this often in the last few days!
Right now I have asked them to investigate ACORN. No on cap & trade, No on National Health Insurance, I've asked them to stand up for the American People, stand up for FREEDOM!

By Andy Sullivan
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A poverty-rights group that has drawn the ire of conservatives suffered another setback in Washington on Monday when the U.S. Senate voted overwhelmingly to deny it access to federal housing funds.
The Association of Community Organizations for…
