Who Are The Good People?
The following is a guest post by Cynthia Howerter, a new volunteer for Richmond Tea Party. This post originally ran May 7, 2012 on her blog, SOAR WITH EAGLES. She wrote it and e-mailed it around, knowing that if we don't gather enough people to stand against an out-of-control government NOW, we will soon no [...]
Mitt Romney: Things That Might Interest You
From David Codrea at Gun Rights Examiner: "A document found online by BuzzFeed appears to be John McCain's entire, 200-page opposition research file - or 'book'- on Mitt Romney from 2008, the year they were bitter rivals." Andrew Kaczynski, BuzzFeed SECOND AMENDMENT ISSUES In 1994 Senate Race, Romney Backed Brady Bill And Assault [...]

Obama Likes The Gang Of Six; Can You Guess Why?
From Accounting Today: A bipartisan group of senators that has been meeting on and off for months to hammer out a budget deficit reduction plan appears to have reunited and gained support on both sides of the aisle for a plan to reduce the budget deficit by $3.7 trillion over 10 years. “The good news [...]
Keep the Pressure On!
A large group of patriots gathered at Rep. Eric Cantor’s office yesterday to personally deliver the message that we do not support a raise in the debt ceiling, unless AT LEAST the Cut, Cap, and Balance approach is implemented. I was impressed at how many people came out with less than 24-hour notice in the [...]
Republicans Cave; Debt Ceiling Will Be Raised
Bloomberg: "House Speaker John Boehner said he agrees that the U.S. debt limit must be raised and the government can’t be allowed to default on its debts, but he also said Democrats are not serious enough about trimming entitlement programs." I imagine the discussion at the White House went something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TK-sSWkJUaQ&feature=related
Republicans: “Americans: We’re Getting Ready To Screw You In The Wrong Place, Really Hard”
That's the message you should see whenever they say "We're going to punt this problem until after the next election." It means they are going to do something the voters really hate, and so they hope to be able to make you forget what they did by the time another two years passes. It means [...]
A Debt Ceiling Fold Imminent? Probably.
I have this sinking (but totally expected) feeling that Republicans are about to sell out us and the nation yet again. Before we get to that, though, let’s begin with some good old fashioned class warfare rhetoric from a true artist: "If we do not have revenues, that means there are a bunch of kids [...]
The Tax Increase Con Game
Leftist policies are often (and correctly) described as "tax and spend." After the stimulus bill passed, though, some flipped the phrase to "spend, then tax," anticipating that the Left would ultimately demand higher taxes to reduce the gargantuan deficit they created (and we opposed). We now have proof that the change in terminology was correct as well: [...]
Eric Cantor needs to hear from us on the debt ceiling
An excerpt from my latest post on redstatevirginia.com: We heard all kinds of doomsday prophesies from the Washington Spenders about how the world would literally end if America didn’t raise its debt ceiling in time. Yet when we reached it, all Treasury Secretary Geithner had to do was move some funds around to keep us [...]
Republicans Shouldn’t Take Tea Party for Granted
Here's an interesting story from BigGovernment.com. Of course, "anonymous sources" are always suspect, but this is extremely troubling if there's a sliver of truth in here. Let's hope....no, rather INSIST that the Republican leadership act with conservative principles and take ACTION, rather than just offering fake platitudes and kicking the can down the (very long) [...]
