I have been and will continue to be critical of the rush to dismiss the OWS protests as entirely silly / unwashed / redistributionist. It is simple to take one sign or one action and use it to dismiss the entire movement as any of the above. Most so-called "conservatives" are rushing to do [...]
For years now, much has been done to mis-identify the Tea Party as an extreme, minority faction of the Republican Party; these past months are no exception. Hoping to present us as ill-informed and resentful, our detractors have had some success in their efforts to demand that their followers ignore our facts and concerns. Presenting [...]
As far as I’m concerned, the Tea Party can go straight to hell. And, and, I intend to help them get there. http://www.breitbart.tv/despicable-maxine-waters-tea-party-attack-media-is-ignoring-tea-party-can-go-to-hell-i-intend-to-help-them-get-there/ ~From Breitbart TV Maxine, allow me to address your recent remarks about the Tea Party during the "Kitchen Table Summit" in Ingleside, California. As an African American Tea Party Patriot, I suggest [...]
As someone who worked closely with Jamie Radtke for over a year, I have to weigh in on this craziness going on between her and RedState.com. I’m not looking for a fight with limited government conservatives, though. I have my hands full battling the Big-Government progressives. My purpose in this post is simply to say [...]
Jay Cost, a staff writer for the Weekly Standard, has written a well reasoned article that presents an interesting take on the demonization of the Tea Party by Obama and his followers. (See the earlier post here on Tea Party derangement syndrome.) Cost concludes that, in the end, the demonization will not work—it will not [...]
Peter Berkowitz, a senior fellow at Stanford’s Hoover Institution, wrote a perceptive op-ed in the Wall Street Journal about the Tea Party derangement syndrome that’s sweeping the left side of the political spectrum. Titled “The Debt Deal and the Progressive Crack-Up,” the essay examines “the implications of what the democratically negotiated [debt-limit] settlement revealed about [...]
Let’s review: $14.4 trillion in national debt $114 trillion in unfunded liabilities No federal budget passed in over two years TARP Bailouts of massive corporations while average Americans are struggling just to provide for their families ObamaCare (i.e., forcing citizens to purchase a product or service, while calling it “health care reform”) Many thousands of [...]
Tactics matter. Ineffective tactics must be quickly abandoned for more sophisticated ones as the means to implement them become available. First Generation Warfare (1GW) is characterized by massed troops standing in line formation firing muskets at each other. 2GW emphasized firepower, especially artillery, immobilizing the enemy, simply stated using the French maxim: "Artillery conquers, infantry [...]
Too many people today don’t even know what’s in the Constitution, let alone why it was written the way it was. As a result, they are fooled by the argument that it is outdated and out of touch with today’s modern world. This argument is further enhanced by the claim that with advancements in knowledge [...]
And it's not some Tea Party tinfoil hat whacko who thinks so; it's Mohamad El-Erian, co-CEO of PIMCO, the world's largest bond fund, with over $1.3 Trillion under management. "The co-CEO of the world’s largest bond fund has warned America that it faces a combination of higher inflation, austerity and financial repression over the coming [...]
“I pledge allegiance to flag of the United States of America and to the democracy for which it stands.” That’s not what we say when pledging our allegiance to the flag! But today that’s what most people have come to think America is all about. Everywhere you read and nearly every commentary and Congressman you [...]
