Union Thugs Spread Their Love For Conservative Women

This time the union's target in their war on conservative women is SC Gov. Nikki Haley, a Sikh Indian, whose parents immigrated legally from Punjab, India. 

The joke went sour when the AFL-CIO realized just how poorly, once again, their jokes were playing out that they had to issue an apology to Gov. Haley. Elsewhere, other women are still awaiting their apologies. In vain.

Conservative Moms Rock!

Our Capitalistic Republic VS Any Socialist Government

Boehner Did It! Reid Will Undo It.

Y - 218
N - 210

A Balance Budget amendment scares Democrats. It means they'll actually have to be honest. That alone could kill the party.

The King Of Rock & Roll Wants To Be The First Rock & Roll President

Since the media has the hots for presidential firsts, black, female, illegal alien and so forth, why not the first rock and roll president. How about a man that can intertwine Greek philosophers, Iggy Pop and constitutional law into one sentence when illuminating his ideas? That'd be Thaddeus George McCotter.

McCotter making 2012 presidential bid

How can you disagree with a man insightful enough to state, “No matter how imperfect the health care system is right now, it cannot be fixed by the most broken entity in the world today, which is the United States government.”

Situation Normal: Boehner Is Doing What Is Right-Reid Not So Much At All

Hapless Harry. So gloomy. So disappointed in all of us because he and Madam Pelosi never got around to passing a budget last year. If only we had had the foresight to see Reid's planned government shutdown this year then last year poor Harry would've have done something to avoid it, but alas we, the voter, didn't help him save America by voting for Democrats.

It's all our fault.

Boehner is doing what he does which is not spending gads of our money and trying to save our money and rolling back critical legislation concerning drunken gay sex in Argentina. We're approaching an economic meltdown and Boehner has the audacity to think we shouldn't be spending money to study why drunks engage in unprotected sex. In another country.

Pundit and Pundette has a great roundup which I agree with including Pundette's feelings about Boehner.

Boehner vs. Obama

Granted, I am a fan of Boehner and I think Reid should be a deep fryer at McDonald's if they assign someone to watch over him constantly. There are a lot of conservatives and Tea Party members who I respect, but are already saying Boehner is a turncoat and a weepy boy for not having already fulfilled their political dreams. That, my friends, is stupid stuck in high gear, but hey, they've got every right to say it. We can agree on so many other things so why get waysided.

Boehner is herding cats and getting the job done. It will take time, but he will stay with it. Reid is also consistent, consistently wrong and consistently pedantic in his approach, but if Harry wants to drone for hours about this or that, which is really always about denying the voters their wish, then drone on Harry. We'll wait until you're finished and then ignore you and move the ball forward without you and your minion mimics in congress.

Ron Paul Supporters Prove They're Not Conservative Republican Smart

CPAC - Ron Paul's dEvolution has some really good people, but has been hijacked by some complete idiots. Huh? Well, to highlight their support of America they embarrass the pre-eminent conservative convention, a conservative former Secretary of Defense and a conservative former Vice President of the United States of America. This current Team Paul isn't libertarian, they are idiotarian and it shows.

Paul Supporters Hijack Cheney-Rumsfeld Reunion

One Paul Foolian screamed "War criminal" at Cheney which has the Foolian's brothers and sisters at DU cheering. The MSM has already picked up the story (otherwise they would have ignored CPAC) and is, with the help of these morons, attempting to make conservatives look bad.

Good Lord, how far is this group from passing out copies of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion and whispering Illuminati conspiracies. Oh, wait...

They're not very bright.

Misunderstanding American Conservatism Completely

I've never thought E. J. Dionne a particularly interesting or wise man, but with his newest column he has given us a clear understanding of him as a political commenter.

"Small Government" Talk is Just Rhetoric

Alas for all of us and for American conservatism in particular, the new Republican majority that took control of the House on Wednesday is embarked on an experiment in government by abstractions. Many in its ranks pride themselves on being practical business people, but they behave as professors in thrall to a few thrilling ideas.

Rhetoric. Practical. Professors. Experiment. Notwithstanding that our whole form of government is an experiment I can only guess that to Dionne there are good experiments and bad experiments and of course such declarations of success and failure should be his call. Also, I can only guess that to Dionne practical is relative, but it is an educated guess.

That leaves us with Dionne's words professor and rhetoric which are worlds and words that Dionne revels in as a practical experiment to understand the bankrupt, both financially and ethically, world the rest of us mere conservatives reside in.

Dionne could have saved us time by simply stating that he believes Republicans have already failed in all their endeavours and should immediately knuckle under to Obama, Dionne's ideological dream.

If States Like Ohio Want To Gain Population And Business They Must Go Conservative

Yep, states are losing population which leave soon after liberals impose their policies which drives business out state. And liberals don't get it.

New population count may complicate Obama 2012 bid

The only way possible for a state to rebound is with a good business environment which will bring a good environment of quality life. Ohio is a perfect example of how to ruin a state which liberal tax and spend policies have been pursued by Democrats and RINOs.

Unions, Big Government Killing States Like Ohio

Americans are fleeing high tax, union-dominated states and settling in states with lower taxes, right-to-work laws and lower government spending. Nothing sends a message like voting with your feet.

People do vote with their feet and the vote here in Ohio is saying get out and go where there are jobs, less government and a right to work without coercion from "friendly" union officials.

Ohio’s state government spending increased by three times the inflation rate between 1994 and 2002. At this clip, the state government budget would double every 14 years. More importantly, this rate of growth outstrips income growth and exceeds our ability to pay for it. The result? Government spending as a share of Ohio’s economy has increased rapidly since 1980. Ohio left the ranks of low-tax states in 1994 and has been one of the highest tax states in the nation since 2000.

Ohio is a "closed shop state" which is a fancy way of saying that workers can be forced to join unions or have to pay unions dues no matter what. The fact that unions have invaded our public (government) sectors is only making the problem worse. Much worse.

Because of these things Ohio is no longer a state that is friendly to its citizens. I have very high hopes that Gov-elect Kasich and soon to be Speaker Batchelder will turn this around.

The Real 'Shellacking' The Democrats Got

In terms of legislation (including push back of legislation on states by the US Congress), the deep replenishing of the Republican back bench and a rejection of progressive statist crap, the Democrats totally lost on redistricting. Good.

State legislatures before the 2010 election

State legislatures after the 2010 election

These elections have set the liberal agenda back at least 10 years which is absolutely great news for Americans. The incredible rejection at the local level will not only affect legislation at the local, but also at the state and federal levels. The take over of so many state legislatures by Republicans will also decide which party will lose seats due to redistricting, but also which party will gain seats in those states with a growing population. Here in Ohio there will be a loss of two congressional seats because people have fled the liberal/progressive assault on business and individuals through taxation and repressive control of the citizenry. Because of the election Republicans will now decide which two seats will be erased from our congressional map.

If Republicans act like as republicans, not some smug hierarchical country club like Roman Senators from the Palatine, we will set the progressive agenda back for a generation in 2012.

Murkowski Is Like Crist: Screw'em. Give Me The Power And The Money

NRSC Triptik

Murkowski, like Crist of Florida, might be busy proving that they are little republican in the Republican Party that believe only in themselves and are only out for themselves. That the NRSC is assisting her in undermining real Republicans in Alaska is a sign of bureaucratic bloatedness and comfort in positions they feel are no longer answerable to Republican voters nationwide.

300,000 - 500,000 people in front of the Lincoln Memorial feel differently. The left is paying close attention to that rally to find imagined racism and any other fault they can find. The Republican power elites seem to not only have not heard of the rally, but seem to have forgotten where the Lincoln Memorial is sited. If they were to find the memorial they'd be able to read Lincoln's words and then possibly find their way back to believing in what the Republican Party stands for.

If they don't know where the Lincoln Memorial is they just have to remember the next time they go to the Public Affairs Office for the US Mint for some coin, that they continue on west to their favorite, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Then hop back on Independence Ave going west until they see the Lincoln Memorial on the right. Maybe it might be more simple to just ask any tourist in town to guide them.

Once there they will find Lincoln quotes such as, "Allow all the governed an equal voice in the government, and that, and that only, is self-government," which is actually part of this quote, "I have quoted so much at this time merely to show that, according to our ancient faith, the just powers of governments are derived from the consent of the governed. Now the relation of master and slave is pro tanto a total violation of this principle. The master not only governs the slave without his consent, but he governs him by a set of rules altogether different from those which he prescribes for himself. Allow all the governed an equal voice in the government, and that, and that only, is self-government."

Remember the "just powers of government" part of the quote if remembering all of it is just too much.

Will You Be Better Off Next Year?

It appears that a lot of people really really don't think so.

Like most Americans I am preparing in my own way for more of the disaster called the Vision of Obama/Reid/Pelosi and the Far Left. We can't control the weather and we have no control over the earth, but we can vote in November.

America Is Great, In Fact Exceptional

MECHa, La Raza, the New Black Panther Party, Progressives and our other enemies whether foreign or domestic feel compelled to quell this idea, but all tyrants have felt the need to tear down the good to enable them to force their vision on people. That they have tried so long and so hard and yet have failed is a testament to the citizens of the United States of America and our Founding Fathers. God Bless them all.

Zack Space: Worst Cliched Lie Of The Year

Democrats are worried and especially worried by Minority Leader John Boehner. Now Ohio's Democrat delegation has lined up lock step to attack another Ohioan for suggesting solutions, some endorsed by them and Steny Hoyer, and then spouting fear mongering drivel.

Ohio Democrats, President Obama gang up on John Boehner

Rep. Marcy Kaptur, the dean of the Ohio delegation, said that Boehner’s proposal to cut Social Security to pay for the war in Afghanistan is “callous, outrageous and frankly un-American.” Rep. Tim Ryan said the people that would be affected by Boehner’s Social Security plan are “people who work for a living with their hands, not that wear ties and suits and nice dresses and jewelry and play golf and hang out.”

Ohio Democratic Rep. Zack Space said that if “the Boehner plan” went into effect, the elderly would be “cleaning toilets, stocking shelves, serving French fries.”

“We as Buckeyes do not stand with him, and it shows how out of touch he and his party are with the rank and file,” Kaptur said.

Now if Space had said that anyone who voted for Cap and Trade wanted their constituents to be “cleaning toilets, stocking shelves, serving French fries” then I'd believe him. Otherwise Space is just politicking with the likes of Obama and Kaptur to hurt Ohioans. Puppets.

BTW, John Boehner worked with his hands, grew up hard and is a self made man. Can't say that about those attacking him which tells us a lot.

Conservative Republican Caught With Pants Down Resigns

As he should. Once out of office he should go door to door and apologize for his lies and the shattering of the trust his supporters put in him.

Indiana Rep. Mark Souder to Resign Amid Allegations of Affair With Staffer

Some will say he made a mistake, which he did. More than just a mistake he has distracted from important debates about our future by living the lie of being a "family values" representative of the people. Now he needs to pay for that mistake before he can begin to rebuild his life. Good.

The Rage That Has No Name

Ah, anonymous rage is all the rage right now, at least on the left. When leftists write hate filled letters on news websites, it is okay. When leftists beat up those they disagree with at rallies, it is okay. When leftists push elderly people down because they don't like being told to be polite, it is okay. It's okay because the left is desperate in their attempt to portray conservatives, especially fiscal conservatives in the Tea Party movement as angry white, racist, elitist old people.It serves their purpose to do so whether the think it is true or not. Doesn't matter. It's just another way the Left trys to stifle debate.

So, now, in their attempt to control debate in the media, they are all wailing about those mendacious right wing anonymati writing comments about news or opinion pieces online. OMG, it is for thee, but not for me!

THE RAGE THAT HAS NO NAME

It's almost as if they Left has lost its patience with their lesser friends on the right. What a hoot.

Kasich For Governor

I am a supporter of John Kasich. I have been since he was my congressman. John came from a union/Democrat family in Pennsylvania, but as a college student here in Ohio wrote a letter to then President Nixon who was impressed enough that he invited John to the White House. John is smart, very conservative and will be a great governor of Ohio, unlike the, ahem, governor we currently have.

John Kasich must be doing a lot of things right in his campaign because to liberal/progressive wing of the Democrat Party here in Ohio is going nuts over his candidacy. The thing that bugs them the most is that he is good enough and smart enough to have earned a lot of money.

I think that which bugs them the most is what they most don't understand.

Tea And Coffee: A Constitutional Republic VS The Tyranny Of The Mob

To understand our form of government is not hard. Read the Constitution and amendments usually is a pretty easy way to start. To respect and honor our form of government is obviousley not so easy, just look at progressives, the courts and local and state governments and the federal government. They backstab our founders seemingly at will.

The Coffee Party believes the middle is consensus. The Tea Party believes the middle is the Constitution.

The Constitution is not a living document. It is based in principle as the vision for the United States of America's future and the founders deplored the idea of the mob controlling America whether it was the tyranny of the large states stepping on the rights of smaller states, industrial over agriculture or large government crushing the liberty of individuals.

let's start a coffee party . . . smoothie party. red bull party. anything but tea. geez. ooh how about cappuccino party? that would really piss 'em off bec it sounds elitist . . . let's get together and drink cappuccino and have real political dialogue with substance and compassion.

Progress is patriotic, they tell the camera. Wake up. Espresso yourself. Something is brewing, America.

How about a Latte Liberal Party? Yes, progress is patriotic, but not all progress(ivism), only progress that fits within the Constitution.



About Us
We are diverse — ethnically, geographically, politically, in age and in experience.
We are 100% grassroots. No lobbyists here. No pundits. And no hyper-partisan strategists calling the shots in this movement. We are a spontaneous and collective expression of our desire to forge a culture of civic engagement that is solution-oriented, not blame-oriented.

Your web presence shows that you are 100% grassroots, eh? Sharing goals, venues and projects with MoveOn, Organizing for America, unions, MSM and others and your coming out of the gate with professional logos, videos, websites and all of you fellow groups pounding the intertoobs to create the sense of an overnight avalanche of support. You're so hyper-partisan and non spontaneous, it will be interesting to unravel your finances to see who has really been funding you from inception.

We demand a government that responds to the needs of the majority of its citizens as expressed by our votes and by our voices; NOT corporate interests as expressed by misleading advertisements and campaign contributions.

We want a society in which democracy is treated as sacrosanct and ordinary citizens participate out of a sense of civic duty, civic pride, and a desire to contribute to society. The Coffee Party is a call to action. Our Founding Fathers and Mothers gave us an enduring gift — Democracy — and we must use it to meet the challenges that we face as a nation.

Any group is the sum of its parts. The Coffee Party is growing quickly and absorbing a variety of views and opinions. The one thing we all agree on is that Government has to change… and we would like it to change for the better instead of rolling back to the last Century.

Demand all you want as long as those demands are within the Constitution which clearly lays out the reason and the form of our form of government.

Democracy may be sacrosanct somewhere, but not here. You will call it nitpicking, which belies an ignorance of governance, but the United States of America is a Republic which is quite different than the tyranny of Democracy's majority. Again, you can demand all you want concerning the needs of the majority (who decides those needs to be prioritized by the majority?) as witnessed by your votes and voices, but again, Constitution; Republic; Law.

Vienna, Va.: If you look at the recent Pew study on the Millennial Generation, that group is more progressive than the preceding generations. How are the Coffee Party Groups specifically reaching out to that cohort? They are really important.

Annabel Park: Great point, Vienna! The Millennial Generation, frankly, has a lot to teach the rest of us when comes to appreciation of diversity and a sense of collective identity that transcends the usual lines that divide us. We want to appeal to them to not only be involved, but to take on leadership. We are starting chapters on college campuses where students can come together to practice democracy as a community.

I'm sure one of your instantaneous grassroots support groups will help you with this. Maybe the NEA and the Department of Education?

We believe that, when the Millennial Generation steps up for our country's future, it will lead to profound changes in our politics.

Annabel Park: We want to shift the paradigm from thinking of politics as a zero-sum game with two opposing sides. If one side loses, the other side wins. This is not a democracy. This is a misunderstanding of the tenets of democracy.

And you misunderstand the tenets of the Republic of the United States of America.

Democracy is based on the notion of the common good. People should come together to go through a deliberation process to produce collective decisions that benefit the common good.

Here in our Republic that deliberation process is called elections. You'll see the process in action next November.

What would Abraham Lincoln suggest if he were living today? Would he be willing to sit down and have a cup of coffee and discuss our nations issues? I think so (just maybe not with me). After the Civil War, the North had won a significant battle. He did not tell the people to follow the rules of a zero sum game. He did not recommend that we obstruct democracy but that we be "flexible in our efforts."

Lincoln never stated that we should be "flexible in our efforts." If the Civil War was not a zero sum then Lincoln would have compromised and toned down the rhetoric with the Confederacy. The unconditional surrender of the Confederacy was definitely zero sum. One wins. One loses.

The snowballing response made her the de facto coordinator of Coffee Party USA, with goals far loftier than its oopsy-daisy origin: promote civility and inclusiveness in political discourse, engage the government not as an enemy but as the collective will of the people, push leaders to enact the progressive change for which 52.9 percent of the country voted in 2008.

Oopsy-daisy my butt and that 52.9% is evaporating as quickly as they find out who Obama is and that progressive is just another way to spell socialist.

Republic, constitution and law. Form, process and the way things must be done. Fairly damned simple for most people.

Ohio: Most Lib/Con Congressmen

BTW, I just read that Sherrod Brown is rated the most liberal member of the U.S. Senate. Way to go Sherrod. Keep voting against your constituents.
