				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.teapartytribune.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/LloydMarcus-Jimmie-in-Albany-NY.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-66097" alt="LloydMarcus &amp; Jimmie in Albany NY" src="http://www.teapartytribune.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/LloydMarcus-Jimmie-in-Albany-NY.jpg" width="365" height="273" /></a></p>
<p>Chairman emeritus, Julian Bond, of the NAACP said the tea party is “admittedly racist”. Mr Bond, I challenge you to show us the video, article, facebook post or the tweet in which the tea party admitted it is motivated by racism.</p>
<p>As a black tea party activist who has participated in over 400 tea party rallies, I am confident that your claim is bogus. Therefore Mr Bond, you sir are a despicable liar, severely compromising your image as a statesman. You and your ilk purposely inspire hate in low-info black voters against tea party patriots who simply said no to Obama&#8217;s socialist agenda and trashing of the Constitution. Shame on you Mr Bond. <span style="color: #000080;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/naacp-chair-legitimate-for-irs-to-target-admittedly-racist-tea-party" target="_blank">http://www.examiner.com/<wbr />article/naacp-chair-<wbr />legitimate-for-irs-to-target-<wbr />admittedly-racist-tea-party</a></span></span></p>
<p>The NAACP leadership has abandoned it&#8217;s commitment to traditional marriage, family, education, self-reliance and hard work. The once great well-intentioned organization has morphed into a far-left radial liberal racist hate group which exploits race, using it as a bludgeon to silence any and all opposition to Obama and the Democrats&#8217; government overreaching, ever expending entitlement programs and Obama&#8217;s vowed redistribution of wealth. MLK would not approve.</p>
<p>Sadly, the NAACP feels embolden to lie about the tea party, confident that the mainstream media will not challenge them or demand proof of their outrageous allegations. The MSM gleefully distributes the NAACP&#8217;s lies.</p>
<p>Remember when NAACP president, Ben Jealous said he saw tea party protesters carrying signs which read, “Lynch Barack Hussein Obama” and “Lynch Eric Holder”? <span style="color: #000080;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2010/07/13/naalcp_accuses_tea_party_of_wanting_to_lynch_obama_holder" target="_blank">http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/<wbr />daily/2010/07/13/naalcp_<wbr />accuses_tea_party_of_wanting_<wbr />to_lynch_obama_holder</a></span></span></p>
<p>Folks, the MSM hates the tea party. If the signs that Jealous claims to have seen existed, the MSM would have made sure they were posted everywhere. And yet, no one other than Mr Jealous has seen the lynch Obama and Holder signs. So, in plain English, Ben Jealous is a liar. The MSM never challenged Jealous to show them the signs. The MSM simply reported Jealous&#8217; divisive hate-inspiring lie as fact.</p>
<p>Has anyone in the mainstream media asked Julian Bond to show them when and where the tea party admitted it is racist? No. Mr Bond is a black hate-filled liberal. The MSM loves blacks who say they are victims of a racist America. Thus, Bond&#8217;s accusation is reported as gospel.</p>
<p>What happened to the once great NAACP? What happened to Julian Bond, the dignified civil rights statesman? What seduced these trusted advocates for racial equality to the dark side, stumping for the socialists/progressives&#8217; radical anti-America agenda? Money? MSM approval? A seat at the liberal Democrat massa&#8217;s table?</p>
<p>Mr. Bond, the NAACP and associates have lost their way, abandoning their mission of black empowerment. Their betrayal of black America includes re-enslaving them; making as many blacks as possible slaves of Obama&#8217;s welfare-state government subsidized and controlled America.</p>
<p>If true to their mission of real black empowerment, the modern civil rights movement would embrace and celebrate extraordinarily successful blacks such as Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and entrepreneur and presidential candidate Herman Cain.</p>
<p>But rather than holding the blacks I have mentioned up to black youths as shining examples of what can be achieved in the greatest land of opportunity on the planet via education and hard work, these successful blacks are despised by the black liberal plantation overlords.</p>
<p>The NAACP and company thrives on black Americans believing themselves victimized, disenfranchised and hated. Their mantra to black voters is Conservatives, Republicans and whites want you to fail. Keep voting for us and we will keep them at bay. Folks, I am talking big-time evil.</p>
<p>Rush Limbaugh appropriately calls the NAACP the NAALCP. The “L” is for liberal. Blacks who are Conservative – who bypass government programs to achieve success and who love their country are on the NAACP and company&#8217;s excrement list; targeted for destruction.</p>
<p>I say again, Mr Bond, you are a despicable liar. The tea party would never say it is racist because it is not. As a matter of fact, my personal experience bears witness that the tea party seeks the best for all Americans. The Left are the ones relentless in their attempts to make the tea party&#8217;s opposition to Obama&#8217;s agenda about race in an effort to slander and intimidate the tea party into silence. In reality, the tea party considers Obama&#8217;s race irrelevant.</p>
<p>The tea party is motivated by love; love for the greatest nation on the planet and their refusal to see it transformed into an Obama-nation of the vision of our Founding Fathers.</p>
<p>By the way Mr Bond, I am the black singer/ songwriter who penned the “American Tea Party Anthem”. Check it out on Youtube. It has a great hook! God bless. <span style="color: #000080;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&amp;v=bim8ZNdYbq4" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?<wbr />feature=player_embedded&amp;v=<wbr />bim8ZNdYbq4</a></span></span></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_65752" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.teapartytribune.com/2013/05/03/its-always-christmas-if-youre-a-politician/ken-cuccinelli-3/" rel="attachment wp-att-65752"><img class="size-medium wp-image-65752" alt="Virginia AG Ken Cuccinelli brandishing one of the forms he forgot to fill out." src="http://www.teapartytribune.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Cuccinelli-brandishes-one-of-the-forms-he-forgot-to-fill-out-300x252.jpg" width="300" height="252" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Virginia AG Ken Cuccinelli brandishing one of the forms he forgot to fill out.</p></div>
<p>What is it about an elected official that compels rich people to want to give him gifts? Do they look needy? Hungry? Depressed? Is there a secret gift registry of which I’m unaware? Could it be a mentoring program where plutocrats adopt a middle–class governor or attorney general and show them how capitalism has paid off? Sort of a rescue program except no Labradors are involved?</p>
<p>Any of those reasons are an improvement over the suspicions of my wife. She believes the gifts are given because the recipients hold high public office and it might come in handy for a rich person to have a governor or attorney general in their pocket. So she is disappointed in Ken Cuccinelli. Again. And that goes for me, too.</p>
<p>For those of you who don’t follow Virginia politics, Ken Cuccinelli is the Tea Party–backed Republican attorney general who filed the first court case against Obamacare. He also fought the EPA on job–killing regulations. And the AG filed a Freedom of Information Act request to get the papers “global warming” guru Michael Mann used to get grants while he was at the University of Virginia.</p>
<p>I was first disappointed in Cuccinelli when he broke a promise to serve two terms as AG and not run for governor after his first. Details are <a href="http://michaelshannon.wordpress.com/2012/12/28/wont-you-come-home-bill-bolling/">here</a>. Now Cuccinelli and Gov. Bob McDonnell are enmeshed within a gift controversy brought on in large part by McDonnell’s failure to use his head and Cuccinelli’s failure to use his ballpoint.</p>
<p>The nexus of the scandal is Jonnie R. Williams, Sr. who runs Star Scientific, a former cigarette company that has progressed from selling cancer to marketing Anatabloc a nutritional supplement made from a substance found in tobacco. Anatabloc is used to fight inflammation and its also contained in facial cream where it may help to remove wrinkles caused by smoking.</p>
<p>Williams is a new BFF that both Cuccinelli and McDonnell have known for about five years. (Hmmm that’s just about the time they’ve been in office, but it must surely be a coincidence.) Williams gave $15,000 to McDonnell’s daughter so she could pay the ‘Let ‘em Eat Cake’ catering bill at her wedding. Williams has also given the family free use of his vacation home at Smith Mountain Lake and let the governor drive his Ferrari back to Richmond from that same vacation spread in Western Virginia. All told William’s publicly disclosed gifts to McDonnell and his political action committee come to over $120,000.</p>
<p>And it’s all perfectly legal. I just hope the wedding catering smelled better than the rest of the gifts. In fact, the catering started the scandal ball rolling, because McDonnell didn’t declare the gift, since it went to his daughter. I mean, what’s out of the ordinary about some BFF you’ve known since 2009 dropping 15 gees on your daughter’s wedding? It sure beats a blender.</p>
<p>Now FBI agents are investigating the relationship between the governor, his wife Maureen (who has promoted Anatabloc) and Williams to see if there was a quid pro quo.</p>
<p>Once the media started following the foie gras the trail led to Cuccinelli. He hasn’t had any weddings recently — although with a brood his size it’s only a matter of time — but he did invest in Star Scientific stock after meeting Williams. I’m sure he thought it was a great opportunity. Lance Armstrong and Barry Bonds had such great success with dietary supplements, what could possibly go wrong?</p>
<p>Cuccinelli also stayed at the Smith Mountain vacation home twice, accepted $6,700 worth of Anatabloc, took a flight to New York, borrowed Williams’ boat, took a trip to Kentucky, stayed at Williams’ house near Richmond, ate a Williams’ provided turkey dinner and was surprised to discover he owned over $10,000 in Star Scientific stock.</p>
<p>Many of these gifts and the stock were not reported promptly on disclosure forms. It’s appears Cuccinelli is a lawyer, but he’s not good with details and paperwork.</p>
<p>The worst part of this mess is that none of it had to happen. Conservatives were convinced Cuccinelli was different. He wouldn’t fall prey to the pitfalls of influence and influencers. But he did. And because he did, Cuccinelli is dealing with a campaign issue that never should have happened and one that sullies his reputation for ethics and honesty.</p>
<p>Delusional Democrats are fantasizing that the controversy may force McDonnell to resign. This is very unlikely, not the least because the events don’t rise to the level of a major scandal. But if McDonnell did resign, it would restore a disenchanted Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling’s faith in Providence. At the stroke of a pen Bolling would get to be governor without running a primary campaign, and even better he would be governor before Ken Cuccinelli!</p>
<p>Meanwhile I have some practical gift receiving advice for Cuccinelli and other conservative politicians who — I hope — don’t want to lose touch with the Americans that elected them:</p>
<ul>
<li>Don&#8217;t take a gift from any &#8216;friend&#8217; you made after you left high school unless it comes with a receipt, preferably from Wal–Mart.</li>
<li>Don&#8217;t buy stock in a &#8216;friend&#8217;s&#8217; hot company if you didn&#8217;t know him in high school.</li>
<li>Even if you knew him in high school, don&#8217;t take any gifts from a company with &#8216;science&#8217; in the name that isn&#8217;t run by someone in a lab coat.</li>
<li>Don&#8217;t take a gift from any &#8216;friend&#8217; who owns a company that the SEC, FEC, IRS, FDA or the PTA is investigating.</li>
<li>Don&#8217;t hitch a ride on an airplane, yacht or submarine owned by a stranger you met after high school, unless you all chip in for gas.</li>
<li>Don&#8217;t accept free vacation housing from a &#8216;friend&#8217; you met after high school, unless it&#8217;s a tent.</li>
<li>Don&#8217;t offer to valet park a &#8216;friend&#8217;s&#8217; Ferrari if you have to drive it more than 200 yards.</li>
</ul>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.teapartytribune.com/2013/04/28/marco-rubio-and-the-magic-beans/immigration-caution/" rel="attachment wp-att-65625"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-65625" alt="Immigration-Caution" src="http://www.teapartytribune.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Immigration-Caution-300x231.jpg" width="300" height="231" /></a>Shortly after last year’s presidential defeat and at the beginning of the Great Republican Panic of 2013, I wrote <a href="http://michaelshannon.wordpress.com/2012/11/15/republicans-advocate-surrender-after-defeat/">here</a> about what a bad idea morally and legally amnesty for illegal aliens is. Guess what? It still is.</p>
<p>In a sane universe “immigration reform” would be specifically designed to benefit the citizens of the nation passing the law, rather than be a law that only benefits non–citizens who came here illegally at the expense of the citizens.</p>
<p>But that hasn’t stopped Sen. Marco Rubio (R–FL) from eagerly joining the Gang of Ocho’s efforts to pass a “comprehensive” amnesty bill. After being trapped in a room with both Sen. Chuck Schumer (D–Publicity) and Sen. John McCain (R–Media Loves Me, Unless I Run for President), Rubio has evidently developed Stockholm Syndrome. He claims this amnesty bill does not have any amnesty provisions. Instead is has a “path to citizenship” where the length of time before amnesty kicks in somehow makes amnesty more tolerable for conservatives.</p>
<p>Yet I have a simple test for supporters of any immigration reform bill. If removing the portions that deal with granting citizenship to people who came to the US illegally causes Democrat support to vanish, then what you have is an amnesty bill and not a “reform” at all.</p>
<p>During her testimony before Congress in support of the bill, Sec. of Homeland Security Janet Incompetano said the 844–page bill has many benefits, including stricter accountability for employers and improving border security. Yet you can accomplish both of those goals without legalizing 12 million illegal aliens and doing so might just reduce the number of illegals here now.</p>
<p>Opponents of actually enforcing immigration law claim the government can’t deport 12 million people, but no one I know is advocating that. In fact this is one of the areas where I prefer a libertarian solution: the illegals got here on their own without government assistance and they can leave on their own, too.</p>
<p>In a true magic beans moment, Rubio is so proud of the 13–year “path to citizenship” — as if a slow motion surrender to illegality is an improvement over an immediate surrender. Maybe he thinks during this cooling off period Republican outreach teams can contact the newly legal and persuade them they are really naturally conservative and should be voting GOP.</p>
<p>But I’ve got news for Marco: it’s not going to happen. His 13–year path is going to be the civil unions of the immigration fight. As soon as Rubio’s bill is passed Democrats will begin complaining about second–class citizenship for brown people. As Neil Munro has written, the bill already has 400 “exemptions, exceptions, waivers, determinations and grants of discretion and even better will be administered by the OBAMA ADMINISTRATION!</p>
<p>We will be lucky if the 13–years lasts 13 months.</p>
<p>Democrats will get their immediate temporary permanent status for the illegals and the increased border security will never happen. The same goes for employer sanctions.</p>
<p>We heard the amnesty and border security shuffle when Reagan granted amnesty to 3 million (Gee, wasn’t he a Republican?). Amnesty was immediate and border security was absent, which is why we are preparing to legalize 12 million now.</p>
<p>The fines Rubio dreams of (much like the $1,500 fines the Commonwealth of Virginia was going to impose of indigent drunk drivers) will never be collected and the English proficiency test will be found to be culturally insensitive. Instead, illegals will get a waiver for the fine and if they can look at two photos and distinguish George Washington from Simon Bolivar their English is good to go, too.</p>
<p>You think I’m exaggerating? Ha! The Democrats in charge of the District of Columbia are preparing to introduce legislation that would require pharmacies, and possibly doctor’s offices, to provide translators — at business expense — for any customer or patient who does not speak English. That in a nutshell (apt phrasing, that) is the Democrat philosophy on immigration.</p>
<p>And by the way, I was being conservative when I said 12 million illegals would join us. According to NumbersUSA it will be more like 33 million, because “comprehensive reform” doesn’t manage to reform one of the major failings of current immigration policy called “family reunification.”</p>
<p>You probably think unifying families makes sense, because parents should be able to bring their children into the country. But you are wrong, that policy would be the reform. Current Democrat policy defines “family” as grandfathers, grandmothers, uncles, aunts, cousins, kissing–cousins, step–relatives and BFFs. So 33 million may be a conservative estimate.</p>
<p>Tea Party favorite Rubio is flacking for a bill that will only encourage more illegal immigration in the future, will not provide increased border security, will cost taxpayers billions, will depress wages for lower income workers, will burden the welfare system and — according to a report from Emily Schultheis in Politico — give Democrats 11 million so new voters, which is about the voting population of Ohio.</p>
<p>This leaves conservatives with a choice of opinions regarding Marco Rubio. One, he’s either too gullible to ever be allowed in the Oval Office or two, he’s a Democrat sleeper agent.</p>

<p>“Apologize for what?”</p>
<p>These three words have inspired and motivated millions of patriotic Americans. They have become a calling card to Conservatives everywhere who are sick and tired of out of control liberalism destroying this great country. On the anniversary of Andrew Breitbart&#8217;s death I&#8217;m sure he is looking down on us from that special reserved spot in heaven where the heroes lay and is smiling. In the post Andrew Breitbart Conservative era, his legacy lives on and his influence continues to grow.</p>
<p>From Twitter to Facebook and everything in-between, Andrew is alive and well in spirit. His death to most Conservatives, including myself is one you will always remember and not soon forget. Like a great fallen warrior his disciples have picked up where he has left off. Their very simple and loyal battle cry is, “I Am Breitbart.”</p>
<p>Andrew Breitbart was someone who was comfortable swimming in the belly of the beast and always relished the hatred and vitriol that he received from the left. He wore it like a badge of honor; never backing down or shying away. Andrew said things out loud that most of us would only think and that is what made him so effective yet controversial. He was the type of guy who would take ten to the chin just to deliver the one knockout punch.</p>
<p>Breitbart was unapologetic and his “apologize for what?” has posthumously become his trademark. He never let the left get away with anything which is why he was so demonized by them. His undercover investigative work was a major contributing factor to exposing the radical group ACORN. His work is the reason they were forced to change their name and are now thankfully defunded by Congress.</p>
<p>When the liberal media started to run stories about how the Tea Party was racist he called them out on it. Andrew knew that playing the race card was a Saul Alinsky tactic used by the left whenever they were losing the argument. Brilliantly, he offered a 100,000 dollar grant payable to the United Negro College Fund if they could find even one shred of evidence of racism at Tea Party rallies. Needless to say, the UNCF is still 100,000 dollars poorer.</p>
<p>His untimely death has always struck me as a little peculiar. Although I do not subscribe to conspiracy theories I do find the timing of his death remarkably odd. At the 2012 CPAC event, Andrew spoke about releasing &#8220;something big&#8221; on March 1st that apparently was going to be very damaging to Barack Obama. He spoke passionately about finally &#8220;vetting&#8221; Barack Obama and doing the job the liberal media has not done and refuses to do. Then coincidentally, the day he was to release this damaging information he allegedly dies of a heart attack?</p>
<p>More importantly, the media was very quick to point out that Andrew had a history of heart problems. The Los Angeles Police Department&#8217;s full investigation into Andrew’s death did not find any foul play and the Coroner&#8217;s Office performed an autopsy and full toxicology report which also turned up nothing.</p>
<p>Andrew Breitbart may be gone but his legacy still lives on. Like in war, when one soldier goes down the next soldier picks up the fallen soldier&#8217;s weapon and keeps on firing. Let’s just hope our aim is as good as his was. In this ideological war we find ourselves in we must master the strategies and tactics that Andrew perfected.</p>
<p>The silent majority in this country can no longer afford to be silent, or silenced. We can no longer be made to feel guilty or ashamed for our beliefs. We must be forceful in our convictions and be unapologetic for having them. This war is not about left versus right, it is about right versus wrong. This is about two very different visions for America. It is one of freedom and opportunity or slavery and bondage. As another great patriot Ronald Reagan once said, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not passed down through the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed down to our children and their children to do the same.”</p>
<p>Andrew knew this all too well and he lived his life on the frontlines of this battle. So the next time a liberal asks you to apologize for your beliefs, you tell them “apologize for what”?</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By Jon Matthews, <a title="That Radio Show" href="http://www.thatradioshow.net" target="_blank">That Radio Show   <a href="http://www.teapartytribune.com/?attachment_id=64668" rel="attachment wp-att-64668"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-64668" alt="jesus christ" src="http://www.teapartytribune.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/jesus-christ-300x224.jpg" width="294" height="220" /></a></a></p>
<p><i>&#8220;Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot in things racial, we have always been, and we, I believe, continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards.  Though race-related issues continue to occupy a significant portion of our political discussion, and though there remain many unresolved racial issues in this nation, we, average Americans, simply do not talk enough with each other about things racial. This is truly sad. Given all that we as a nation went through during the civil rights struggle, it is hard for me to accept that the result of those efforts was to create an America that is more prosperous, more positively race-conscious, and yet is voluntarily socially segregated.&#8221; </i>(Attorney General Eric Holder, February 18, 2009)</p>
<p>A Yahoo Poll issued the day of our 2013 State of the Union message indicated that over 75% of the public had no intention of watching or listening to it, a remarkable drop in interest and excitement compared to worshiping throngs that embraced America’s first half-white President in 2008.   It’s understandable to a degree I guess.  Those of us who follow this administration can almost recite what Obama is going to say and we don’t require a teleprompter to do it.</p>
<p>It is also unfortunate because it indicates why we are in the mess we continue to find ourselves.  Obama’s repetitive boring rhetoric allows him to continue to thrive because most Americans now choose ignorance over information.   I guess the thought is, <i>“If I don’t hear it, it won’t remind me of what’s wrong”,</i> proving my contention Obama is not the problem, we the people are.</p>
<p>But while most presumably tuned out because either we all knew in advance it would simply be a re-hash of the Obama campaign touting hope and change via wealth redistribution or because <i>“The Big Bang Theory”</i> is simply a better expenditure of time I listened, primarily in order to be able to talk coherently about it on my show which happened to air right after his speech.  Yes, my sacrifice to my country is I miss re-runs of Sheldon, Leonard, Penny, Howard and Raj so my audience doesn’t have to in exchange for re-runs of Obama’s speeches in a fresh suit.</p>
<p>But back to my point.  Obama wasn’t 3 minutes into his speech when I caught something he said that confirmed what I have been proclaiming since the Newton, Connecticut shootings as to how he will portray the next 4 years in hopes of assisting the progressive element of this country to remain in power beyond 2016.</p>
<p><i>“It is our unfinished task to restore the basic bargain that built this country – the idea that if you work hard and meet your responsibilities, you can get ahead, no matter where you come from, what you look like, or who you love.”</i></p>
<p>Aside from the fact liberty and responsibility are not bargains, the surface of his statement sounds much like most of Obama’s patriotic sounding chest thumping, meaning he always attempts at <i>“sounding”</i> American.  And it does sound American, doesn’t it?  Who wouldn’t agree with the ideals and principles of hard work, responsibility and equality?</p>
<p>But if you follow Obama as much as I and others like me do, you recognize this as progressive doublespeak, that which sounds like one thing to mainstream America but something different to those who religiously embrace progressive ideology.</p>
<p>Obama was in fact highlighting the voting blocks he is targeting for his continuing class warfare campaign.  Embedded within this one line lies the meaning of all Obama is and all he seeks to do.  It exposes his distrust and dislike for not only the wealthy but middle income Christian conservative white America.</p>
<p>In Obama speak; <i>”…where you come from”</i> is a reference to poverty, <i>“…what you look like”</i> is a reference to race and <i>“…who you love”</i> is a reference to sexual preference.</p>
<p>For some reason I immediately I thought to myself, <i>“The time has come to not only stand up to this continuing division of America through the bastardizing tactics of this tyrant but much more to those who through their ignorance buy into his claims”. </i> This can only be done by addressing Obama’s and those like him misconceptions it is the white race that is keeping everyone else down.  In other words it is time to take up Mr. Holder’s challenge to discuss <i>“things racial”.</i></p>
<p>Upon assuming the position of Attorney General in 2009 Eric Holder issued the challenge quoted above to America regarding racism.  Like Obama it sounds right, even American.  But there is much more to this than meets the politically correct eye.  The same innuendo and accusation our President proclaimed just an evening ago lies hidden in Mr. Holder’s real meaning.  Herein lays the problem with such a discussion.</p>
<p>Eric Holder’s challenge to debate racism in America is based on a narrow perception racism is not seen or understood from the perspective of the black community and therefore that is why we can’t or won’t acknowledge it exists and needs to be dealt with.</p>
<p>Others like him express the same meaning when they speak of social and economic injustice politically referred to today as disenfranchisement.  A great example of this paradigm would be Jesse Jackson’s <i>“Rainbow Coalition”</i> which as far as I know displays only colors in grayscale.</p>
<p>In other words, having won the right to vote black activists now have expanded disenfranchisement as not only a racial issue but economic and social believing that one inherently leads to the other.  It is their way of sounding rhetorically inclusive (to other non-white races, the impoverished and guilt ridden whites) while remaining racially segregated, the very issue Mr. Holder says he is sad to acknowledge.</p>
<p>The thrust of this theological ideology is a political agenda that claims white America owes reparation to black America due to the issue of slavery.  Obama calls it wealth redistribution that gives everyone a fair chance.  Eric Holder refers to it as the white sin of <i>“cowardice”</i>.</p>
<p>History, as interpreted by others who are not white often paints a picture of aggression, oppression, hatred and greed as the traits by which Anglo Saxons have conquered much of the world.  That is certainly true to a great degree I suppose.  But it also indicates something most people do not understand about the white race.</p>
<p>And that is the history of the white race is one of overcoming the very things those who are not white claim they cannot.  Poverty, security, freedom are the same desires the white race sought and still seek to obtain as much as any nation or people caught in the cross hairs of that quest.  And if the truth be told perhaps the biggest enemy the white man has overcome is himself.  Let me explain.</p>
<p>In the Bible we read the story of Abraham.  Abraham appears to be a somewhat religious man (his father was an idol maker) and certainly from what we read of him he desired prosperity.  At some appointed time, the Bible tells us, God decided that Abraham would be the father of the nation of Israel, the people by which He would send Jesus Christ to die for the sins of mankind.</p>
<p>The question before us is why did God choose Abraham?  Was Abraham special because of his social standing, theology or wealth?  As a nomadic shepherd he had no wealth which would indicate he had no social standing.  His father was an idol maker by trade so it certainly wasn’t his religion.  Could it be because Abraham was white?</p>
<p>I would put it before you that God chose Abraham because He saw a man who would recognize opportunity, embrace the responsibility it involves and would eventually mature to a man that would put in the work and achieve his desires all the time remembering who he was and from Whom his prosperity came.  The side note to this is Abraham just happened to be white.  And, it is only a side note.  It was, as Martin Luther King once stated, <i>“…the content of his character”</i> that set Abraham’s course and destiny, not the color of his skin.</p>
<p>To further prove my point we know that when God called Abraham that character He recognized in him had not yet been developed.  Abraham disobeyed God by taking his idol making father with him when he moved away from his home, gave his own wife away not once but twice to save his own skin and even laughed at God when told he would have a son at the age of 100 years old.  But God saw the finished man, not the man in the making.</p>
<p>Even further, the nation of Israel which descended from Abraham is called by God more than once, <i>“…a stiff-necked people”</i> inferring they are stubborn and prone to disobedience, not unlike their father Abraham.   You could say stubbornness is in their DNA.</p>
<p>So by our standards Abraham was not the best candidate for the founding of a nation though he might have made a good politician given his propensity for deceit.  And neither would we consider Israel a great people as they possess the negative traits of their ancestor. But, you ask what does this have to do with racism?</p>
<p>In an age where too many claim the white race is the source of all that ails us I put it to you to consider that perhaps God chose Abraham not for his color or for who he was but what he was to become.  If Abraham is indicative of what is wrong with the white race than I think it is fair to say God may have chosen him to show what any man or woman can become if priorities and discipline are nurtured.  In essence maybe the white race has actually been the weakest race all along and God is telling us that if we whites can do it anyone can do it.</p>
<p>I personally believe it is not color but culture that determines who we allow ourselves to become.  We too easily color code our respective cultures in order to justify or defend our own shortcomings, lack of discipline and low self-esteem.  We also can use it to boast of our own superiority. All these faults transcend color.</p>
<p>I believe anyone can achieve their heart’s desire.  But I also believe that like Abraham we must place our trust in the same God Abraham did and look beyond color, culture, social standing, ideology and institutional theology and embrace the equality that Jesus died to provide for all of us.  This also requires we practice the same discipline and assume the same responsibility such freedom requires.</p>
<p>Unfortunately it also requires placing our faith in a Great White Hope…that would be Jesus Christ sent for our redemption and empowerment to achieve what God has ordained for us.  Yeah, a white guy.  Since we will all return to dust one day, in the end does that really matter? What say you, Mr. Holder and Mr. President?</p>

<p>The Republican Party used to be proud of its “big tent” philosophy, but the establishment elite are now stating it is the conservative grassroots, the Tea Party, and <a href="http://www.christineodonnell.com/" target="_blank">Christine O’Donnell’s</a> fault that the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) continued its horrible record in 2012 with more of the same failure under since-replaced Chairman Jon Cornyn’s leadership.</p>
<p>Watching moderate talking heads continue their scapegoating by alienating American activists that helped Republicans take back Congress in 2010 is not only naïve, but it’s also a certain recipe for continued decline. <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2012/11/13/mark-levin-to-karl-rove-get-the-hell-off-the-stage-already-will-you-pal/" target="_blank">Mark Levin called out Rove</a> and his comrade&#8217;s meddling with “<i>Get the hell off the stage already, will you pal</i>?” and <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2013/02/08/levin-to-rove-bring-it-on-karl-baby-bring-it-on-doughboy-bring-on-your-little-whiteboard-audio/">again</a> last week.  <a href="http://spectator.org/archives/2013/02/12/rove-email-leaks-ideological-w">Rove’s credibility is certainly in question now</a>, especially In light of past and recent statements by him.</p>
<p>The lessons learned by Chairman Pete Sessions and the National Republican Congressional Committee’s (NRCC) embarrassment from bucking the Tea Party trend beginning with the NY-23 race in 2009 were hard fought. The NRCC saw the light by embracing the conservative grassroots movement and not only resoundingly won back the House in 2010, but also maintained their margins in 2012 despite the Barack Obama get out the vote machine at the top of the ticket.</p>
<p>On the other hand, the NRSC surprisingly never thought they were going to win the Senate in 2010, as <a href="http://www.lifenews.com/2010/09/14/nat-6691/" target="_blank">Cornyn told a <b>Congressional Quarterly</b> reporter</a> months before the O’Donnell mid-September primary victory for the seat vacated by Joe Biden (who ran for reelection in 2008 as well as being on the Obama ticket) that he did not think Republicans would win enough seats to give them a majority.</p>
<p>Because of the NRSC ineptitude to learn from the NRCC, they continued that same old, same old flat-world mindset and rolled out another roster of so-called “electable” establishment candidates for 2012 in red or battleground states: Tommy Thompson in Wisconsin, Rick Berg in North Dakota, Denny Rehberg in Montana, George Allen in Virginia, Connie Mack in Florida, Pete Hoekstra in Michigan, Heather Wilson in New Mexico (a candidate so flawed that even <a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0809/26058.html" target="_blank">Rove stated under oath Wilson lied about her involvement in a U.S. Attorney firing</a>), and former governor Linda Lingle in Hawaii. All of these establishment favorites lost – many badly for open seats.</p>
<p>As a result of the grassroots Tea Party movement, we now have rising stars like Rand Paul of Kentucky, Marco Rubio of Florida, Mike Lee of Utah, Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania – all of whom had to initially clear establishment/moderate/NRSC choices. They joined 2010 conservatives like Ron Johnson of Wisconsin and Rob Portman of Ohio, as there was inarguably a lot more triumphs in that cycle because of the Tea Party.</p>
<p>House earmark vigilante and social conservative Jeff Flake of Arizona won his open seat race in 2012. Flake&#8217;s fellow conservative Congressman and Tea Party advocate Tim Scott of South Carolina, who is <a href="http://www.senate.gov/pagelayout/history/h_multi_sections_and_teasers/Photo_Exhibit_African_American_Senators.htm" target="_blank">the only African American serving in the U.S. Senate and just the seventh in the history of our Republic</a>, has been appointed to Jim DeMint&#8217;s seat as he now heads up The Heritage Foundation. Tea Party candidates Ted Cruz of Texas and Deb Fischer of Nebraska now join those ranks as underdogs who beat the establishment odds and won in 2012… does anyone else see a pattern of success here and an epic failure by the Republican establishment?</p>
<p>O’Donnell observed the hypocrisy of the establishment on <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/on-air/oreilly/transcript/christine-o039donnell-enters-no-spin-zone?page=2" target="_blank"><b>FOX News</b> &#8216;<b>The O&#8217;Reilly Factor</b></a>:</p>
<p><i>“I had the audacity to challenge the system, and I busted up the backroom deal. There are still a lot of bruised egos and a ‘you’re taking the power out of our hands mentality.’ I think at least for the Republican leadership in Delaware</i> [and nationally at the NRSC to date]<i>, they would rather control the way they lose than lose control.”</i></p>
<p><i>“You know the most frustrating part of all of that was if you asked people, ‘Did you watch the </i><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ri2oEtlWB40" target="_blank"><i>speeches</i></a><i>? Did you watch the debate?’ and more often than not they said no.”</i></p>
<p><a href="http://www.weeklystandard.com/articles/can-t-take-their-eyes-her_508826.html" target="_blank">Fred Barnes of <b>The Weekly Standard</b> complimented O&#8217;Donnell&#8217;s campaign</a> efforts by seeing for himself instead of letting others think for him:</p>
<p><i>&#8220;O’Donnell, it turns out, is an excellent campaigner, knowledgeable on issues and confident in making the case for conservative policies. She and Coons, 47 and balding, debated before the stuffy Wilmington Rotary Club the morning after the nationally televised <b>CNN</b> debate. In both sessions, she was the more assertive.</i></p>
<p>O’Donnell is the campaign here. She is colorful and outspoken and willing to attack her own party for giving her only minimal support after she upset Representative Mike Castle in the Republican primary in mid-September—all traits the press loves in a candidate. Castle, has none of them. Nor does Coons, who’s about as exciting as dry toast. Absent O’Donnell, the media wouldn’t be here.&#8221;</p>
<p>With all due respect to Mr. Castle and his accomplishments as a career politician, how is a mid-seventies <b>R</b>epublican <b>I</b>n <b>N</b>ame <b>O</b>nly (RINO) who lost to Ms. O’Donnell by over six points in his last campaign, and who would have also lost to Coons according to <a href="http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2010/11/02/exit-polls-the-surprise-in-delaware/" target="_blank"><b>CNN</b> exit polling</a>, the answer? Especially in light of this Michelle Malkin post right after the primary &#8220;<a href="http://michellemalkin.com/2010/09/15/hmmm-what-did-mike-castle-talk-about-with-obama-and-biden-last-night/" target="_blank">What Did Mike Castle talk about with Obama and Biden last night?</a>&#8221;</p>
<p>As <b>RedState</b> Editor-in-Chief <a href="http://www.redstate.com/erick/2010/08/02/why-is-mike-castle-running-from-christine-odonnell/" target="_blank">Erick Erickson reported in early August of 2010</a>:</p>
<p><b><i>If Mike Castle becomes the next United States Senator from Delaware he is going to get sworn in, serve a bit, then become a Democrat, resign, and let Beau Biden get an appointment</i></b><i>.</i></p>
<p><i>It’s a done deal. The deal has been made already. I’m hearing this not just from </i><a href="http://www.christineodonnell2010.com/" target="_blank"><i>Christine O’Donnell</i></a><i> people, but party regulars in Delaware, some of whom support Castle. It is insane.</i></p>
<p><i>Maybe that is why Mike Castle is running from </i><a href="http://www.christineodonnell2010.com/" target="_blank"><i>Christine O’Donnell</i></a><i>. He is afraid to have to answer questions about this. The man will not debate her to save his life.</i></p>
<p><i>In fact, </i><a href="http://www.christineodonnell2010.com/" target="_blank"><i>Christine O’Donnell</i></a><i> is actually ahead of the Democrat in the polls in Delaware. <b>Read that sentence again people because too many of you think we must support Castle to win the seat</b>.</i></p>

<p>Club for Growth Vice President Andrew Roth brilliantly summarized <a href="http://www.clubforgrowth.org/perm/?postID=14059" target="_blank">Castle’s status as a lead RINO</a>, calling it “<b><i>bullfeathers</i></b>” to think otherwise of Castle, not only as a social liberal but also a fiscal moderate who <a href="http://theothermccain.com/2010/07/26/why-does-rino-mike-castle-want-to-kill-jobs-and-drive-up-prices-on-everything/" target="_blank">voted for Cap &amp; Trade in the House</a> and was being counted on as another vote for the Democrats in the 2010 lame duck session.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.redstate.com/haystack/2010/06/23/castles-wet-finger-doesnt-like-the-way-the-wind-is-blowing/" target="_blank">Castle co-authored the grassroots gag order called The Disclose Act</a>, had a <a href="http://www.nrlc.org/news/2009/NRL05/CloningLegislation.html" target="_blank">pro-abortion record that even expanded to co-authoring the Castle-DeGette bill promoting human cloning</a>, and had numerous other votes cited by Roth to truly earn his RINO crown. It&#8217;s a record that makes retired Olympia Snowe’s look Reaganesque by comparison.</p>
<p>It is an absurd notion that the U.S. Senate is some exclusive club, only fit for the “next in line” elite with their obnoxious sense of entitlement, when recent members include Al “Stuart Smiley” Franken of Minnesota, Larry “Wide-Stance” Craig of Idaho, and the Keating Five (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAzDEbVFcg8" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAzDEbVFcg8</a>).</p>
<p>This was also debunked by a <i>de facto</i> leader of the Millennial vote <a href="http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1010/20/lkl.01.html" target="_blank">Jon Stewart when discussing the O’Donnell candidacy</a>:<br />
<i>“I was on <b>MTV </b>20 years ago. God forbid anybody find those tapes and hold that against me. I mean, it is &#8212; it&#8217;s astonishing to me where we put our focus and what we delve into.”<br />
</i><br />
<a href="http://spectator.org/archives/2010/09/10/the-ruling-class-hits-christin" target="_blank">Jeffrey Lord of <b>The American Spectator</b> summed it up this way</a>:</p>
<p><i>&#8220;It must be said here that the reason Ms. O&#8217;Donnell is a &#8220;two-time loser&#8221; is that she had the guts to take on up-hill Senate races in the first place. Where was Mike Castle when it was time to challenge Democrat incumbent Senator Tom Carper in 2006? Where was Castle when it was time to challenge Biden in 2008 &#8212; when Biden was playing the Ruling Class game and had a ballot spot for both re-election to the Senate and on Obama&#8217;s ticket as vice president? Answer? Not running. Why? Because the man who so much wants to be a United States Senator from Delaware didn&#8217;t want to mar his reputation with a loss &#8212; thus enabling some Ruling Class writer to describe Castle as a &#8220;two-time statewide loser.&#8221; Such things are important in Ruling Class circles, and the fact that O&#8217;Donnell paid no heed and took on Delaware&#8217;s political goliaths Carper and Biden anyway is a sign of Country Class guts.&#8221;</i></p>
<p>The Delaware Republican Party delegates removed long-time Republican National Committeewoman Priscilla Rakestraw last year after realizing her and Castle’s failed leadership has led to a 120,000 Republican enrollment disadvantage (mostly in New Castle County, as Delaware only has two other counties &#8211; Kent &amp; Sussex) since being par almost a decade ago when the more conservative Gov. Pete du Pont and Sen. Bill Roth influences left leadership posts in the party.</p>
<p>State enrollment is now approximately 300,000 (<b>48%</b>) Democrats, 180,000 (<b>28%</b>) Republicans, and 150,000 (<b>24%</b>) independents according to the latest <a href="http://elections.delaware.gov/reports/e70r2601sd_20121101.shtml" target="_blank">Delaware Board of Elections survey</a>, which makes O&#8217;Donnell&#8217;s results all the more impressive despite the lack of party support.</p>
<p>Establishment accusations are additionally unfounded in facts, as in <a href="http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/elections/election_2010/election_2010_senate_elections/delaware/toplines/toplines_delaware_senate_july_14_2010" target="_blank">July of 2010, <b>Rasmussen</b></a> had <b>O’Donnell beating Coons</b>, coupled with earlier polling strength including a <a href="http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/elections/election_2010/election_2010_senate_elections/delaware/toplines/toplines_delaware_senate_september_30_2009" target="_blank">late 2009 <b>Rasmussen</b> poll</a> proving that O’Donnell had a 2-1 advantage with critical Delaware independents against the iconic Biden brand before the extraordinary libel and slander by the GOP establishment with other political science found at <a href="http://www.christinepac.com/Christine-Counters" target="_blank">www.ChristinePAC.com/Christine-Counters</a>.</p>
<p>The vicious attacks were so unprecedented even <a href="http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2010/09/03/delawares-odonnell-stop-thug-politics/" target="_blank">Neil King, Jr. of <b>The Wall Street Journal</b></a> wrote, <i>&#8220;The National Republican Senatorial Committee is also piling on, briefing reporters on negative aspects of O’Donnell’s record.&#8221; </i></p>
<p>O’Donnell’s campaign also had to defend against a <a href="http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/senate-races/119925-election-complaint-against-odonnell-still-alive" target="_blank">frivolous federal election complaint</a>, filed before the primary by <a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0209/18261.html" target="_blank">Michael Toner</a>, the counsel of then NRSC Chairman Cornyn on behalf of since ousted Delaware Republican Chairman Tom Ross. It was later dismissed.</p>
<p>As <b>FOX News</b>’ Sean Hannity clarified after <a href="http://www.theblaze.com/stories/castle-blames-lies-of-hannity-limbaugh-in-loss-to-odonnell/" target="_blank">Castle blamed his loss to O’Donnell on talk radio</a>, <i>“He sounds like a liberal, blaming other people!&#8221;<br />
</i><br />
Furthermore, in addition to coming to Delaware to campaign against O’Donnell, <a href="http://michellemalkin.com/2010/09/15/hmmm-what-did-mike-castle-talk-about-with-obama-and-biden-last-night/" target="_blank">Obama called Castle after his primary loss</a> and may have negotiated a deal not to run in a 3-way which clearly benefited Republican victors Rubio and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska in 2010. This obviously came at a critical time, as the September 14 primary victory and November 2 general election left essentially only a month to staff up and fight back against the Democratic machine without the benefit of a write-in.</p>
<p>O’Donnell’s team, despite a much publicized rebuke from the NRSC and Rove after her victory over Castle, tried desperately to get the relationship that evolved with the other conservative contenders who beat establishment candidates akin to Leader Mitch McConnell hammering Paul one day and putting his arm around him the next as the future junior Senator of Kentucky he became.</p>
<p>Her campaign even engaged Cornyn ad man Fred Davis (he of the China-girl Super Bowl spot that hurt Hoekstra’s chances early), who also created the <i>“I’m not a witch, I’m nothing you’ve heard, I’m you…”</i> ad for O’Donnell and put in dark after-effects and the like while not having any other commercial ready before a major media buy deadline &#8211; coincidence?</p>
<p>To add insult to injury, a former Biden staffer and Delaware native named <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HR-bx_ppvrg" target="_blank">Melanie Sloan</a>, who runs a left-leaning group absurdly called Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (<a href="http://www.stopcrew.com/" target="_blank">http://www.stopcrew.com/</a>) that receives funding from liberal cause supporters like George Soros and Ted Gill, knowingly and illegally filed a false federal complaint with an admittedly perjured affidavit right after O’Donnell’s primary victory. Sloan also unethically failed to disclose that <a href="http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9901E2DB1639F930A1575AC0A9619C8B63" target="_blank">her father Leonard Togman</a>, a known Democratic donor, <a href="http://freedomist.com/2011/01/breaking-exclusive-crew-director-uses-own-father-to-levy-fec-charges-against-christine-odonnell-tea-party-news/" target="_blank">was the adversely affected Delaware voter in the complaint</a>.</p>
<p>That is sadly what the establishment of both parties does when they feel threatened &#8211; they engage in the politics of personal destruction with continued character assassinations. <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/07/27/odonnell-wants-irs-to-revoke-crews-tax-exempt-status/#ixzz2DAKhMaz4" target="_blank">O’Donnell lawyer Cleta Mitchell explained</a> on <b>FOX News</b>, <i>&#8220;We are asking the IRS to revoke CREW’s tax exempt status because they’re not supposed to be involved in campaigns and they attack Republicans. They attacked Christine O’Donnell falsely. She&#8217;s been fully exonerated, and it&#8217;s time that CREW be held responsible and be held to be a political organization, which is what they really are.&#8221;<br />
</i><br />
To echo Erickson’s sentiments in 2010 regarding O’Donnell, <a href="http://www.redstate.com/chris_chocola_cfg/2012/11/21/on-the-gop-establishment-and-primaries/" target="_blank">shame on Club for Growth President Chris Chocola</a> for lumping O’Donnell in with the Todd Akin candidacy, while also apparently doing a major cover-his-behind with Club for Growth donors for some of his losses, although his anti-establishment message was spot on.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.redstate.com/erick/2010/10/12/on-the-battle-between-midgets-vs-tigers/" target="_blank">http://www.redstate.com/erick/2010/10/12/on-the-battle-between-midgets-vs-tigers/</a><br />
<i>“While the tigers have been taking out Christine O’Donnell, these candidates have surrounded the tigers and are preparing to slay the beasts.<br />
</i><b><br />
<i>Shame on all those who do that</i></b><i>. When the book is written on Election 2010, the media will mock the O’Donnell candidacy, but whether she wins or loses she will be a hero in my book.</i></p>
<p><em>Christine O’Donnell, willingly or not, has stood firm in the face of the media and establishment onslaught and distracted them all. And only now, with twenty-two days left, are the media and establishment turning in terror, to realize how close the midgets are to slaying the tigers.</em></p>
<p><em><b>Do not insult or belittle Christine O’Donnell here at RedState.</b> Because of her, even if she cannot win, she has distracted the tigers long enough so that others can win. <b>She is owed our thanks.</b>”</em></p>
<p>When the conservative movement unites, they usually win with the exception in the Senate being the Nevada race in 2010 and the Indiana race in 2012. To be fair to former Club endorsed candidate Sharron Angle, she was going up against the incumbent Senate Democratic leader in Harry Reid who not only helped control the purse-strings for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, but also had a month of early voting to get out the labor vote and the like.</p>
<p>Richard Mourdock is the Club candidate that Chocola should be lamenting to his donors instead of ignorantly bashing O’Donnell, as Mourdock fell into the same trap as Akin had earlier in the cycle which cannot be excused. It is also somewhat sardonic that Chocola lost his last Congressional race to the candidate who beat Mourdock by not that different a margin than what O’Donnell lost by.</p>
<p><b>FOX News</b>’ <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/on-air/oreilly/transcript/christine-o039donnell-enters-no-spin-zone?page=2" target="_blank">Bill O’Reilly crystallized a capsule summary of what happened</a> in an interview with O’Donnell:<br />
<i>“But they didn&#8217;t go after Carly Fiorina the way they went after you. It was all personal. You&#8217;re this, you&#8217;re that, you know, and I&#8217;m going to myself, it was almost like Sarah Palin. It was almost the same thing. Why are they going after her? Why do they want to denigrate her personally? Why?”</i> and added,<i>“They don’t care. They just want to demean you.”</i> O’Reilly concluded,<i>“The old boys don’t want to give up their power.” </i>with <i>&#8220;I&#8217;m sorry you had to go through a lot of that garbage you went through.&#8221;</i></p>
<p>Maybe that is why O’Donnell is proud to be a part of Clinton Administration Ambassador Swanee Hunt and Mitt Romney former Lieutenant Governor Kerry Healey’s bipartisan effort to end the double standard female candidates’ face globally (<a href="http://www.missrepresentation.org/politics/women-at-the-republican-national-convention/" target="_blank">http://www.missrepresentation.org/politics/women-at-the-republican-national-convention/</a> &amp; <a href="http://www.nameitchangeit.org/blog/entry/hardballs-chris-matthews-on-christine-odonnell-pretty-damn-sexist" target="_blank">http://www.nameitchangeit.org/blog/entry/hardballs-chris-matthews-on-christine-odonnell-pretty-damn-sexist</a>). With any luck, more people will have the courage to step up and join the political process to make our communities better.</p>
<p>In closing, <b>Rush</b> Limbaugh praised <i>“</i><a href="http://www.troublemakerbook.com/" target="_blank"><i>Christine O’Donnell has moved the conservative ball forward</i></a><i>.” </i>and righteous dude Erickson echoed, <b><i>“She is owed our thanks.” </i></b></p>

<p>Written by Ben Shapiro</p>
<h3>Intent on splitting the Republican Party – exploiting seams on illegal immigration and gun control, to start – Democratic leaders have hit upon a new strategy to destroy any semblance of Republican coherence: backing Tea Party candidates they believe will fail, and in the process, weakening whoever wins the Republican primary in a general election. It’s a Machiavellian maneuver meant to sow the seeds of discord.</h3>
<p>First on their hit list: Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), who has long been under fire for his handling of issues including the fiscal cliff. Democrats want to hurt him in the primary to clear the path for a possible Senator Ashley Judd (D-Scotland).</p>
<p>According to <a href="http://dyn.politico.com/printstory.cfm?uuid=EC9B2AE5-27BB-46A0-AE09-47047B62BE7A">Politico</a>:</p>
<p>Big Democratic donors, local liberal activists and a left-leaning super PAC in Kentucky are telling tea partiers that they are poised to throw financial and organizational support behind a right-wing candidate should one try to defeat the powerful GOP leader in a 2014 primary fight.<strong> </strong>The idea: Soften up McConnell and make him vulnerable in a general election in Kentucky.</p>
<p>It’s not just Politico. According to <a href="http://www.kentucky.com/2013/01/29/2495259/mcconnell-liberals-trying-to-infiltrate.html">John Kemper III</a>, spokesperson for the United Tea Party of Kentucky, “I have talked to some Democratic donors in the state who are concerned about McConnell staying in office.” Daniel Logsdon of the Kentucky Democratic Party adds, “Democrats would explore ‘all avenues’ to defeat McConnell … tea party challenge … something that helps.”</p>
<p>Herman Cain has this one pegged exactly right: “Whoever these Tea Party activists are, if you are listening to the sound of my voice—don’t be fooled!  Of course they want to help get rid of Mitch McConnell. And whoever unseats him in the primary they will proceed to destroy them so that Democrats can get in office.  Don you see the picture? And remember, I know something about how people can politically try to destroy you. I’ve been to that rodeo.”</p>

<p>Written by: Bill Colley</p>
<p>This isn’t the first time Joe Biden has told a whopper.  I was reading the Washington Times website when I came across this link about America’s Number Two, Vice President Joe Biden:</p>

<p>The Times story makes it clear Biden, like Hillary Clinton, is willing to lie to gin up a courage narrative.  Those lies about braving enemy fire in war time are typical political bloviating.  In some blue states it can enhance an opportunity while campaigning for U.S. Senate (Richard Blumenthal comes to mind), however.  The lie about being near the Amish schoolhouse shows willingness on Biden’s part to climb over corpses to get what he wants.  It’s not even the first time the man has used the dead for personal gain.  For decades Biden claimed a drunk driver killed his first wife and his daughter.  It simply isn’t true!</p>
<p>A caller to my radio show claiming inside details once even suggested the truck driver involved in the deadly crash wasn’t the driver drinking before getting behind the wheel.  The Gannett newspaper in Wilmington, Delaware could just as well be a wholly owned subsidiary of Biden, Inc.  In my neighborhood it’s affectionately known as the Wilmington Daily Bolshevik.  It isn’t just the editorial page in bed with the Democrat Party; the entire paper is soaked in fealty to the liberal establishment in the First State.  Yet this very same newspaper five years ago reported there were gaping holes in Biden’s account of the tragic accident.  The truck driver has been dead now many, many years.  He wasn’t drunk.  After Mrs. Biden ran a stop sign and collided with the truck the man behind the wheel rushed to the Biden station wagon to give aid to the injured and the dead.  He was sober.  After his passing Joe Biden was already a veteran U.S. Senator held in high regard by fellow travelers in establishment media.  Biden apparently felt there wasn’t any danger in besmirching the reputation of a dead man for personal political gain.  A man who tried to save the lives of Joe Biden’s loved ones.</p>
<p>Biden didn’t fare well in the2008 primaries.  Maybe voters in his own party can see through the smile of a sociopath and red flags pop out.  The story in the Daily Bolshevik was ignored by national media later fawning over the Obama-Biden ticket.  On Inauguration Day four years ago I watched Katie Couric in black evening gown gush sympathy for America’s Number Two.  She repeated his lie as if it was truth.  No further questions, please.  Mr. Biden is a heartbeat away from an Oval Office currently occupied by a nicotine addict.  The addict’s mother died in her early 50s after battling the ravages of cancer.</p>
<p>This is a conspiracy.  Mitt Romney, Rick Perry and Herman Cain were all probed with the media wand.  Repeatedly and candidates campaigning for President outside the system can’t even afford the plane fare out of Richmond.  This is a sick and twisted cabal and establishment media isn’t just propping it up but shills for the sociopaths.  The Washington Times provides somewhat of an alternative as does the Tea Party Tribune but our battle is the equivalent of the allies taking Monte Cassino and we’ve barely even mustered.</p>
<p>The other day I was reading a Cal Thomas column and the writer noted nearly 100 million eligible voters tuned out in November.  We called them uninformed and were glad they didn’t show up on Election Day.  We sneered when they told us the candidates were all alike.  It was an over simplification from our vantage point.  We told ourselves they were burying their heads in the sand.  We chuckled when they couldn’t even name America’s Number Two when they were handed his portrait but could tell you the latest American Idol. We, I believe, were a little too quick in our rush to judgment.  The media-political complex is a nearly impenetrable fortress and the average guy on the street is right when he says there isn’t much he can do to breach the walls.  Heck, even silence no longer brings security.  The Daily Bolshevik’s sister paper in New York State invades the sanctity of the homes of legal gun owners for no justifiable cause other than to shame.</p>
<p>As I close I’m looking at the clock on the wall.  In two hours America’s Number Two will once again take his oath for another term.  The bald faced liar remains a heartbeat away.</p>

<p>Written by: Diane Sori</p>
<p>As I write this anger overwhelms me, because at yesterday&#8217;s press conference Barack HUSSEIN Obama actually had the audacity to threaten both the Republicans in Congress and the American people&#8230;YES threaten!</p>
<div align="LEFT">Saying to those in Congress, and I quote, “If congressional Republicans refuse to pay America’s bills on time, Social Security checks, and veterans benefits will be delayed.  We might not be able to pay our troops, or honor our contracts with small business owners.  Food inspectors, air traffic controllers, specialist who track down loose nuclear materials wouldn’t get their paychecks.”Just who the hell does this man think he is threatening our seniors, our vets, and our brave men and women currently in uniform (those who give so much to keep us safe and free) or anybody else for that matter.<b> </b> And who does he think he is blaming America&#8217;s debt on Republicans&#8230;as he, Barack HUSSEIN Obama, racked up more debt in just 3-1/2 years than George Bush did in his entire eight years in office.</p>
<p>Blame the Republicans&#8230;NO&#8230;I don&#8217;t think so&#8230;as the blame for America being boggled down in IOUs rests squarely on the shoulders of this worst president in our nations history&#8230;a man who has freely spent our taxpayer dollars on freebies and handouts for the &#8216;sponges&#8217; of our society&#8230;on those whose votes he bought and paid for with food stamps and cell phones.</p>
<p>And without his oh-so-wanted debt ceiling increase, the very thing he&#8217;s hanging over the Republicans heads, the government will NOT have enough money to pay the interest due to our debt holders, but more importantly to Obama, there won&#8217;t be enough money to pay for the government programs to give those &#8216;sponges&#8217; their promised food stamps and cell phones.</p>
<p>Now that will make for some very unhappy &#8216;sponges&#8217; will it NOT&#8230;</p>
<p>And with Obama saying, “The debt ceiling is not a question of authorizing more spending.  Raising the debt ceiling does not authorize more spending.  It simply allows the country to pay for spending that Congress has already committed to” we know damn well that this man has NO intention whatsoever of working with Republicans to cut spending.</p>
<p>By raising the debt ceiling this allows Obama to rack up even more debt and has NOTHING to do with paying for what we have &#8216;already committed to&#8217; as he says.  The only thing that will allow us to pay down some of this debt is to CUT, CUT, and CUT some more&#8230;CUT the out of control spending (but NOT to our defense budget), and use the monies saved to make a small inroad into our IOUs.</p>
<p>Cut your damn handouts and freebies!!!</p>
<p>Saying NOT raising the debt ceiling &#8216;is absurd&#8217; Obama reiterated once again that he will NOT negotiate with Congress, saying instead that if Congress doesn&#8217;t raise the debt ceiling on their own that he will issue yet another Executive Order.  An Executive Order that would force Congress to relinquish their Constitutional authority to him so he can bypass them completely and raise the debt ceiling on his own.  More power coalescing his authority as he puts us and future generations into even deeper debt than we&#8217;re already in.</p>
<p>And NOT only is he destroying our economy with his out of control spending but Obama is also trying to disarm us as well.  As part of yesterday&#8217;s bloviations Obama outwardly threatened our Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms by saying, on the issue of gun control, “And I think we can do that (gun control) in a sensible way that comports with the Second Amendment&#8230;Some of them will require legislation, some of them I can accomplish through executive action.”</p>
</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div align="LEFT"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3294062227707013876" name="hotword6"></a><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3294062227707013876" name="hotword7"></a>Comports&#8230;to be in harmony, or conformity with&#8230;NO, Obama&#8230;NOT in comports with the Second Amendment&#8230;to be in total agreement with the Second Amendment&#8230;as in LEAVE OUR RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS (any arms we so choose) ALONE!!!Saying, “The issue here is not whether or not we believe in the Second Amendment&#8230;”  Uh, excuse me&#8230;is Obama saying &#8216;if&#8217; he believes in the Second Amendment&#8230;a president of these United States is supposed to believe in, honor, and abide by ALL of the Constitution NOT just pick and choose the parts he likes or deems relevant&#8230;so by saying &#8216;if he believes in&#8217; isn&#8217;t that subversion of our Constitution..I would think so.</p>
<p>And as for Executive Action&#8230;we know very well, and Obama knows we know that Executive Action goes way beyond the banning of assault weapons for it really means that confiscation to one degree or another is NOT far behind, and that is something we law abiding, legal firearm owners will NOT abide&#8230;NOT abide at all.</p>
<p>Add in yesterday&#8217;s threat to withhold monies from &#8216;We the People&#8217; that is rightfully ours plus this chipping away at the Second Amendment, and it&#8217;s only a matter of time before we say loud and clear&#8230;&#8217;ENOUGH&#8217;!</p>
<p>Can a Second American Revolution be far behind&#8230;</p>

<p>By Craig Andresen</p>
<p>Posted: Jan. 7th, 2013</p>
<p>Facebook, as social media goes, has become decidedly ANTI social.</p>
<p>Not for all who use it but for those of us with a clear conservative leaning, Facebook has become the place where we’re NOT allowed to friend who we want, NOT allowed to share WHERE we want and NOT allowed to POST what we want.</p>
<p>It’s been getting way, WAY out of hand since socialists started openly talking about banning the 2nd Amendment after Sandy Hook, the “deal” on taxes and now, calls for unlimited presidential terms.</p>
<p>For instance, Facebook will “tell” you “Here is someone you might like to friend.”</p>
<p>So, you send that person a friend request and then, Facebook tells you…”You don’t have permission” to send that person a friend request” and because you DID, Facebook blocks you from sending any MORE friend requests for 30 days.</p>
<p>BUT THEY TOLD YOU THAT YOU SHOULD SEND THAT PERSON A REQUEST!!!</p>
<p>As a conservative, I belong to about 125 conservative groups on Facebook.</p>
<p>Facebook ALLOWED me to belong to these groups and the vast majority OF them ASKED me to join because they WANTED to see my articles daily.</p>
<p>For more than a year and a half, I have posted my article in each of them, every day…no problem.</p>
<p>NOW…All of a sudden…If I post an article link in 10 of them…I get a WARNING that…I’M GOING TOO FAST AND I MUST SLOW DOWN.”</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.teapartytribune.com/2013/01/08/facebooks-anti-social-assault-on-conservatives/anti-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-63799"><img class="wp-image-63799 alignright" alt="anti 2" src="http://www.teapartytribune.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/anti-2.jpg" width="323" height="250" /></a></p>
<p>If I don’t heed the warning, as many, MANY of my conservative fellow bloggers have discovered…BLOCKED FROM POSTING FOR 2 DAYS!!!</p>
<p>As socialists get more vocal about eliminating our rights and conservatives get more vocal about PRESERVING our rights, Facebook has become more and more ABUSIVE towards conservatives.</p>
<p>Conservatives only?</p>
<p>Yes.</p>
<p>Last week, the Examiner was alerted to the issue and THEY decided to test it out.</p>
<p>The Examiner tried posting an article to several groups.</p>
<p>THEY got the warning. Going too fast…</p>
<p>They then waited for 30 minutes and tried to post again.</p>
<p>That’s when the Examiner got THEIR 2 day ban.</p>
<p>So what did the Examiner do NEXT? Well, they went looking for LIBERAL bloggers and LIBERAL posters complaining of the same issue.</p>
<p>CONSERVATIVES were LIGHTING UP Facebook with WTH? WTF? BANNED???</p>
<p><a href="http://www.teapartytribune.com/2013/01/08/facebooks-anti-social-assault-on-conservatives/anti-3/" rel="attachment wp-att-63800"><img class="size-full wp-image-63800 alignleft" alt="anti 3" src="http://www.teapartytribune.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/anti-3.jpg" width="330" height="238" /></a></p>
<p>But liberals?</p>
<p>Nothing. No complaints from the liberals.</p>
<p>NONE!!!</p>
<p>What does THAT tell you?</p>
<p>Clearly, Facebook can do what they want. It’s Facebook. They can move the goal posts just like the Emperor. They can and do make their own rules and are actively trying to make it as difficult for conservatives to share ideas and communicate as possible but…</p>
<p>We, as conservatives, DON’T have to TAKE it.</p>
<p>Wouldn’t it be nice though, if conservatives had a social media outlet that DIDN’T ban or block them for being…social on social media?</p>
<p>Indeed there are other venues. Several of them.</p>
<p>I want to tell you about 1 in particular.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.teapartycommunity.com/" target="_blank">“Tea Party Community.”</a></p>
<p>I became a TPC Member in late November at the suggestion of a Facebook friend.</p>
<p>TPC is set up as close to the Facebook format as any site I’ve seen.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.teapartytribune.com/2013/01/08/facebooks-anti-social-assault-on-conservatives/anti-4/" rel="attachment wp-att-63801"><img class="size-full wp-image-63801 alignleft" alt="anti 4" src="http://www.teapartytribune.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/anti-4.jpg" width="338" height="213" /></a></p>
<p>It’s easy to use and it does, in fact, offer MORE than Facebook because it has been set up as a venue FOR Conservatives.</p>
<p>On TPC, “PAGES” offer the “group” meeting places and just like on the now ANTI social FB, Any TPC Member can start a page.</p>
<p>TPC is where we conservatives can “friend” as many people as we want.</p>
<p>WHAT??? Nobody tells you that you, at some point, have ENOUGH friends or that you’re being TOO friendly?</p>
<p>Nope. Not at TPC.</p>
<p>If you’re a conservative blogger…post away. Post your links, post in pages…shoot…Create your OWN blog right on TPC.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.teapartytribune.com/2013/01/08/facebooks-anti-social-assault-on-conservatives/anti-5/" rel="attachment wp-att-63802"><img class="size-full wp-image-63802 alignright" alt="anti 5" src="http://www.teapartytribune.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/anti-5.jpg" width="364" height="206" /></a></p>
<p>You can’t do THAT on FB.</p>
<p>TPC has polls, petitions, forums, events, news, quizzes and then some.</p>
<p>I have been using TPC since I signed up in late November by posting there daily and using the blog function but, I wasn’t using it as a main driver for my conservative outreach.</p>
<p>That is now changing.</p>
<p>I have discovered MANY of my conservative Facebook friends on TPC and I have started inviting MY FB friends to come on over.</p>
<p>If there is a drawback to TPC it is this. Tea Party Community does not have the reach or numbers of Facebook.</p>
<p>Not yet.</p>
<p>When I signed up there were some 22,000 TPC Members.</p>
<p>Now, that number is up to almost 25,000.</p>
<p>TPC IS growing and they have Facebook and their FB police to thank for it.</p>
<p>Here’s the difference and I think it’s important.</p>
<p>Where FB has a billion members…You can only be friends with 5,000 of them. Of that 5k…How many are as active as YOU are?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.teapartytribune.com/2013/01/08/facebooks-anti-social-assault-on-conservatives/anti-6/" rel="attachment wp-att-63803"><img class="size-full wp-image-63803 alignleft" alt="anti 6" src="http://www.teapartytribune.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/anti-6.jpg" width="394" height="137" /></a></p>
<p>Maybe 10%???</p>
<p>That means, if you are or are becoming a conservative activist, on FB, you’re reaching maybe, at BEST, 500 people every day.</p>
<p>At Tea Party Community…MOST Members are ACTIVE members and as you grow your friend’s list at TPC, Your building it with ACTIVE and ACTIVIST members and remember…There’s no limit to the number of friends you can have at TPC.</p>
<p>You will NOT be warned that you’re posting too fast. You’ll NOT be banned for making friends or ignoring the warnings.</p>
<p>As I said before, there are a number of other good sites as well and I post on several.</p>
<p>Among the other sites I use are Freedom Works, WePloribUS, Web Commentary, Deer Valley Tea Party</p>
<p><a href="http://www.teapartytribune.com/2013/01/08/facebooks-anti-social-assault-on-conservatives/anti-7/" rel="attachment wp-att-63804"><img class="size-full wp-image-63804 alignleft" alt="anti 7" src="http://www.teapartytribune.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/anti-7.jpg" width="317" height="190" /></a></p>
<p>(A great Arizona Tea Party group kind enough to allow me to use there blog)</p>
<p>All Right Magazine and later this week, I will be posting on the Dryer Report. Some are set up like Fb in certain ways, other are just great conservative websites.</p>
<p>While I get nothing from Tea Party Community but hassle-free ability to post, communicate and meet fellow like-minded conservatives, TPC IS the closest thing I have found to Facebook as far as features and usage.</p>
<p>I invite ALL my facebook friends and others to check out Tea Party Community. Sign up. Become a Member. Look me up and also look up The National Patriot on Tea Party Community and help The National Patriot become the FASTEST growing page over there.</p>
<p><strong>Now then…And this is VERY IMPORTANT…If YOU have complaints regarding Facebook and their hassles, banning, blocking and warnings…CALL 650-453-4800 AND PRESS 7 TO MAKE YOUR COMPLAINTS!!! THAT IS A FACEBOOK NUMBER!!!</strong></p>
<p>I won’t be leaving FB but I AM establishing a 2nd home and…</p>
<p>Should I suddenly disappear from FB it won’t be of MY doing but, at least you’ll know where to find me.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.teapartycommunity.com/" target="_blank">At Tea Party Community…Come on over.</a></p>
<h3>Urgent Update!!!</h3>
<p><strong>The FB phone number above has NOW been REMOVED!!!</strong></p>
<p><strong>It seems that FB would rather NOT hear from you regarding your issues with THEIR rules.</strong></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.teapartytribune.com/2012/12/31/conservatives-must-not-seek-all-low-info-voters/semi/" rel="attachment wp-att-63618"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-63618" alt="Semi" src="http://www.teapartytribune.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Semi.jpg" width="334" height="296" /></a></p>
<p>Written by : Llyod Marcus</p>
<p>It sticks in my craw that Conservatives/Republicans are leaning toward, in essence, becoming immoral, stupid and un-American to win Low-Information-Voters. Folks, I can not do that.</p>
<p>Meet Semi. I have more respect for Semi, a stray cat which my wife befriended, than I do for the low-life parasites who voted for Obama because he promised to give them stuff via funds confiscated from others.<br />
<iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/fOZ-Etb0k0Q" height="315" width="420" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/tpAOwJvTOio" height="236" width="420" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p>Semi has the good sense to value her freedom. A neighbor caught Semi and got her shots and spayed. But for some reason, Semi prefers frequenting our yard.</p>
<p>For years, Mary has fed Semi and tried to move her into our home as her pet. Semi will have none of it. Semi allows Mary to pick her up and even bring her inside our home from time to time. But, if Mary closes the door, Semi wants out.</p>
<p>Semi routinely disappears for days. Displaying more character, backbone and wisdom than many Obama voters, this cat values her independence and freedom.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, bottom-feeding Obama voters gleefully surrendered total control of their lives to government for the promise of free stuff. Had they tuned off TMZ for a moment and did the slightest investigation into Obamacare, they would have realized that it “ain&#8217;t” free! <a title="Permanent link to YOU FOOLS! OBAMACARE IS NOT FREE HEALTHCARE! IT’S A TAX IF YOU DON’T BUY YOUR OWN!" href="http://thechristianrepublic.com/?p=2002" rel="bookmark">YOU FOOLS! OBAMACARE IS NOT FREE HEALTHCARE! IT’S A TAX IF YOU DON’T BUY YOUR OWN!<br />
</a>Along with the tremendous monetary cost and government playing God by deciding who lives or dies, it cost voters their greatest birthright – freedom.</p>
<p>Some low info voters get their rocks off just thinking about Obama taxing the rich. News flash idiots, if Obama taxed the rich at 100%, taking every cent of their wealth, it would fuel our economy for less than a month and not affect our debt or economy. Then what? <a href="http://www.retakeourgov.com/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=203:taxing-the-qrichq-at-100-wont-balance-the-budget&amp;catid=3:newsflash">Taxing the &#8220;Rich&#8221; at 100% Won&#8217;t Balance the Budget</a></p>
<p>A few of you Obama-ites realize this truth, but it does not matter. You sickeningly just want to see the rich get screwed. Obama played y&#8217;all big-time, winning your vote by appealing to your sinful class envy. In the end, Obama punishing risk-takers kills jobs, drives up the cost of food and fuel and eventually harms you. Suckers!</p>
<p>I will not sink to pandering to gutter-minded free-loaders and achievement haters. The day a majority of Americans rally around punishing the rich and criminalizing success is the day we die as a shining city on a hill. Some believe this is exactly what Obama wants.</p>
<p>Only ignorant fools hate the rich. Wise men seek to learn what they did to get what they got.</p>
<p>Obama implies that all wealth by Conservatives is ill-gotten or undeserved. He rebuked business owners saying, “You didn&#8217;t build that.” <iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/YKjPI6no5ng" height="315" width="420" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p>Despicably, some realize business and the rich are not the enemy, but still subscribe to Obama&#8217;s “get &#8216;em” attitude. Such people are trash.<br />
<iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/24qIhKWSC5c" height="236" width="420" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p>Democrats are notorious for appealing to voter&#8217;s base instincts. I will not join those seeking to nurture the evil in the hearts of men to win votes.</p>
<p>Master liars and manipulators that they are, Democrats praise fairness and hard work out of one side of their mouth while demonizing achievers and promoting government entitlement dependency out of the other.</p>
<p>Some voters are aware and approve of Obama&#8217;s Socialistic agenda. Others are just plain clueless. Their only source of news is sound bites from the liberal bias lying media. They voted for Obama out of ignorance.</p>
<p>As God continues to give me strength, I will work to educate voters to why Conservatism is best for all – offering rich rewards such as dignity, pride and honor.</p>
<p>In our Oprah-ised culture, everyone is a victim of circumstances. But the truth is just as some folks choose to be evil, poor choices lead to poverty. The Bible says the poor you will have with you always (Matthews 26:11). It is not the fault of America, Republicans, the rich or any one else other than the individual. Upon stating this truth, I am suppose to cower in fear of you calling me dispassionate. Not happenin&#8217;, I&#8217;ve been homeless.</p>
<p>Conservatism beckons, “If you are poor and seek to become rich, join us! If you celebrate determination, hard work and excellence, join us!”</p>
<p>For example: A waiter gave Mary and I remarkable service. Our great appreciation was reflected in our tip. If you believe this exceptional professional waiter deserves to keep his well-earned tip, you are a Conservative. If you believe his tip should go into a tip-jar to be distributed equally amongst the other waiters which include trifling Joey who takes an abusive number of breaks, you&#8217;re a Liberal – probably a Democrat. Please do not join us. Stay with your massa, Obama.</p>

<p>By Amy Gardner</p>
<p>Posted: Dec. 26th, 2012</p>
<p>The day after Labor Day, just as campaign season was entering its final frenzy, FreedomWorks, the Washington-based tea party organization, went into free fall.</p>
<p>Richard K. Armey, the group’s chairman and a former House majority leader, walked into the group’s Capitol Hill offices with his wife, Susan, and an aide holstering a handgun at his waist. The aim was to seize control of the group and expel Armey’s enemies: The gun-wielding assistant escorted FreedomWorks’ top two employees off the premises, while Armey suspended several others who broke down in sobs at the news.</p>
<p>The coup lasted all of six days. By Sept. 10, Armey was gone — with a <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/armeys-exit-from-freedomworks-highlights-tea-partys-post-election-turmoil/2012/12/04/b9103b0a-3e29-11e2-bca3-aadc9b7e29c5_story.html" data-xslt="_http">promise of $8 million</a> — and the five ousted employees were back. The force behind their return was Richard J. Stephenson, a reclusive Illinois millionaire who has exerted increasing control over one of Washington’s most influential conservative grass-roots organizations.</p>
<p>Stephenson, the founder of the for-profit Cancer Treatment Centers of America and a director on the FreedomWorks board, agreed to commit $400,000 per year over 20 years in exchange for Armey’s agreement to leave the group.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By Noel Sheppard</p>
<p>Posted: Dec. 24th, 2012</p>
<p>Sam Donaldson went after the Tea Party this weekend.</p>
<p>During a discussion about 2012&#8242;s biggest game changers on the syndicated <em>Chris Matthews Show</em>, Donaldson said, &#8220;The greatest slogan that I hated during this last campaign was &#8216;We want to take back our country.&#8217; Guys, it&#8217;s not your country anymore &#8211; it&#8217;s our country&#8221;<br />
<iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/9yPulIFO-EE" height="315" width="560" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p>SAM DONALDSON: The minorities re-elected president Obama, but I&#8217;m going with Katty. It&#8217;s the Tea Party and thinking of the Tea Party and people like that that are driving the Republicans out of contention as a national party. You cannot win nationally if you don&#8217;t know something about the way the country&#8217;s changed, and the Tea Party seems to think the country can go back 25 or 30 years. The greatest slogan that I hated during this last campaign was “We want to take back our country.” Guys, it&#8217;s not your country anymore &#8211; it&#8217;s our country and you&#8217;re part of it, but that thinking is going to defeat Republicans nationally if they don&#8217;t get rid of it.</p>
<p>So Donaldson like so many of his colleagues in the media believe that the movement that led to an historic Republican victory at the polls in 2010 will defeat the GOP if the Party doesn’t purge itself of such people and thinking.</p>
<p>Not surprisingly, the only good Republican in these folks’ view is a moderate one.</p>

<p>He’s become an upstanding hero to millions of young football fans, a fierce competitor on the field and a celebrated philanthropist off the field – just the kind of public figure analysts love to … hate?</p>
<p>New York Jets quarterback Tim Tebow’s feats and foibles on the gridiron have been an endless source of debate for football fans since he was drafted by the Denver Broncos in the first round three years ago – as has his public commitment to both Christianity and abstinence before marriage.</p>
<div>
<p>But the debates and the criticism reached new heights this week after reports leaked out that the man portrayed as a consummate teammate got into an argument with his coach over being passed over in the lineup for a third-string quarterback.</p>
<p>Tebow has spent most of his first season with the Jets on the bench, backing up starting QB Mark Sanchez, while seeing only a few plays per game in the team’s gimmick “Wildcat” package and – oddly enough – on the punt team. In interviews, Tebow has repeatedly said he’d do whatever the team needed to win.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>by Jon Matthews, <a href="http://www.rightandwrongradio.com" target="_blank">Right &amp; Wrong Radio</a> <a href="http://www.teapartytribune.com/2012/12/17/red-dawn-obamas-continuing-change-for-america/rd-image-1-copy/" rel="attachment wp-att-63278"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-63278" alt="rd image 1 copy" src="http://www.teapartytribune.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/rd-image-1-copy-300x286.jpg" width="300" height="286" /></a></p>
<p><i>“Well, what started it?”  “Two toughest kids on the block &#8212; sooner or later they’re gonna fight, especially if one’s a bully and the other lets him be.”  “That simple?”  “Maybe not. Maybe somebody forgot what it is like.”</i> (Exchange between Major Andrew Tanner, USAF Pilot and Daryl Bates of the Wolverines in “Red Dawn”, 1984)</p>
<p>You may recall the above scene in the 1984 release of <i>“Red Dawn” </i>with a future All-Star cast that included Patrick Swayze, Charlie Sheene, Lea Thompson, Jennifer Grey and Powers Booth among others, too many to list here.</p>
<p>The plot was simple.  America, apparently lulled into believing the Cold War was at a virtual standoff relaxed their guard to the point that Russia, in an alliance with their ally Cuba was able to not only penetrate U.S. air space but succeeded in putting enough troops on the ground to virtually cut America logistically and militarily in half.  Virtually within hours entire cities were under Russian control, their residents either executed or placed in makeshift concentration camps.</p>
<p>For some reason this scene immediately came to my mind as I began to scan the headlines along with the rest of America in yet another onslaught of Constitutional Terrorism (aka media coverage) in regard to their exploitation of the tragedy that took place last week in Newton Connecticut.</p>
<p>In their never ending pursuit of <i>“breaking news”</i>, drama and fear mongering for ratings albeit advertising dollars (apparently the only practice of corporate capitalism accepted among socialists) we are once again (and all too often) reminded of the unholy alliance between the Godless whores of the airways and the likes of their pimps like Barack Obama, his leftist regime and other American hating socialists and communists.</p>
<p>Whereas the first reaction by many to this tragedy were questions like, <i>“How could this happen?”</i> and <i>“What is happening in this country?”</i> my first response was, <i>“How is Obama going to use this to advance his agenda of destroying America?”</i>  Some may call my response insensitive or unfeeling. I call it dealing with an all too real reality that has existed far too long.  Only a patriot would understand this.  I don’t give a damn what the rest think.</p>
<p>And true to form it was not even an hour after this terrible news hit cyberspace the media terrorists were already prepping us for what may prove to be perhaps the beginning of a final showdown between those who would recall the many verses of song that expound on the necessary price of defending our freedom by any and all means necessary and those who would, while sharing a Coke, <i>“&#8230; like to teach the world to sing in simple harmony”</i>.</p>
<p>Not missing a single goose step, Caesar Barackus Obamanus wasted no time in joining the socialist chorus employed to walk point for him <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/obama-newtown-t-tolerate-anymore-022115820--politics.html">once again proposing</a> at a quickly assembled press conference (ever notice how quick he can get in front of his teleprompter when he wants to?) the necessity to undermine yet another Constitutional right of Americans everywhere in his quest for the perfect Utopian society.</p>
<p>While claiming once again we need to get past the politics of government at the vigil for those who were killed <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/white-house-highlights-obstacles-taking-action-guns-205115017--politics.html">Obama made it plain</a> the only politicizing that should be tolerated is that which is perpetrated by his regime on behalf of all potential victims that find may someday find themselves in the crosshairs of a maniac.   Initiating the preamble that marks the beginning of any of Obama’s campaigns to destroy America he called once again for <i>“Change”</i> now promising to work night and day to make America tragedy free.</p>
<p>The point being of course that along with the need to redistribute the wealth of greedy, war mongering racist capitalists in retribution for their evil we now need to disarm America because after all there is no longer any need for private citizens to be able to defend themselves when it has the Peace Maker &#8211; In &#8211; Chief to fight our battles.  I can actually hear Obama’s cabinet popping the cap off Cokes in the lunchroom after this speech humming in unison our new National Anthem (see above) in expectation of yet another propaganda victory.</p>
<p>Let us remember that Obama once touted the Constitution as <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jr9mLB3yKs">“a charter of negative liberties”</a>.  His belief that we became the most powerful, prosperous nation through greed and racial oppression unmatched by any nation or empire before us because of our Constitution becomes more evident with each event in which he decides can be used to his political advantage.  In light of that belief he also understands that to finish us off as a Republic he needs to neutralize those of us that would still fight for our freedom.  Yes, we may find ourselves real soon facing our own <i>“Red Dawn”</i> giving credence to that play on words of Oliver Perry by Walt Kelly (creator of Pogo), <i>“We have met the enemy and he is us.”</i>  It may be time to <i>“lock and load.”</i></p>

<p>U.S. Senator Jim DeMint, one of the strongest conservatives in Congress, announced this week that he will be resigning his seat in January to become the president of the Heritage Foundation.</p>
<p>As Republicans appear to be caving more and more to the demands of their political opponents, many have been wondering why DeMint chose this moment to leave.</p>
<p>“We’re not going to win things in Washington until we win the hearts and minds of the people,” the senator explained to Glenn Beck on radio this morning.  In many ways, this is an opportunity for the senator to become even more influential, he says.</p>

<p>By Mary Chastain</p>
<p>Posted: Dec. 8th, 2012</p>
<p>On November 15 Dr. Coburn gave a speech at the <a href="http://www.coburn.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/rightnow?ContentRecord_id=09a88636-5f51-4b96-8aba-7229b85ce5f1&amp;ContentType_id=b4672ca4-3752-49c3-bffc-fd099b51c966&amp;Group_id=00380921-999d-40f6-a8e3-470468762340&amp;MonthDisplay=11&amp;YearDisplay=2012">American Spectator’s Annual Dinner</a>, addressing these issues. He called the current situation in America a &#8220;Valley Forge&#8221; moment for conservatives and suggested the GOP concentrate on a few points: truth, oversight, action, and accountability.</p>
<p>Dr. Coburn is famous for keeping an eye on wasteful spending by the government, but the majority of his colleagues ignore his reports. If the government took into consideration his reports and managed the waste instead of making excuses, the current financial mess would not be so difficult to overcome.</p>
<p>“Oversight isn’t very popular in Washington because politicians on both sides prefer to create new programs instead of looking at whether the programs we’ve already created are working,” said Dr. Coburn. “But I believe, oversight resonates with families because that’s how they live their lives every day. In the real world, people look at their budgets and make choices. In Washington, we make excuses, and defer choices to future generations.”</p>
<p>“The task before us is simple,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;Telling the truth, conducting oversight, taking action and holding politicians accountable will lead us out of our Valley Forge and on to victory.”</p>
