Tea Party signs lead to MI park ban
The city of Coldwater, MI finds itself the subject of a federal lawsuit after its city manager, Jeff Budd, found Tea Party signs “too political” and “too controversial” and banned all signs and banners as a result. The complaint (found here) was filed by the Thomas More Law Center on behalf of the Common Sense Patriots […]
NJ Dem planted Tea Party candidate as spoiler
October 8, 2010
Incumbent Democratic Rep. John Adler is facing a tough reelection battle against Republican Jon Runyan in New Jersey’s 3rd Congressional District – RealClearPolitics shows the freshman Congressman with a narrow 4-point lead. What complicates the picture is the campaign of a third-party candidate Peter DeStefano under the Tea Party banner, currently pulling between 4 and 7 points to […]
Conservative racial stereotypes summed up in one article
September 29, 2010
In the world of political rhetoric, there’s thoughtful commentary, blistering polemics, softball critiques … and what Steven Thrasher published today in the Village Voice. The title of the article is “White America Has Lost Its Mind,” and it’s all downhill from there as Thrasher seems only somewhat tongue-in-cheek in going on a 5-page race-baiting rant […]
O’Donnell wins in DE and everyone freaks out
September 15, 2010
Anyone that follows politics even in the slightest has likely read and heard much in the last few weeks regarding the hotly contested Republican primary in Delaware between establishment candidate Mike Castle and Tea Party upstart Christine O’Donnell. In a blue state that sent VP Biden to the Senate, most people figured that moderate Castle […]
Murkowski concedes AK Senate race
September 1, 2010
Quelling any GOP fears of a long and drawn-out primary fight, incumbent Senator Lisa Murkowski conceded the Republican nomination to Joe Miller, a Fairbanks attorney who was endorsed by former governor Sarah Palin. Fears of an independent run appear squashed since the AK Libertarian Party has declined to deem Murkowski their candidate. I give credit […]
Don’t use the Austin plane crash for political smearing
February 18, 2010
The big news today is the deliberate crash of a small plane into an IRS building in Austin, TX where 200 people worked. The pilot, Joseph Black, was upset with taxes, among other things, and appears to have left a lengthy suicide note/manifesto that we assume is authentic. Black was quite obviously a nutcase, yet the nature […]

The Tea Party in Dayton, like others, a success
April 15, 2009
Not too long ago I returned from the Tea Party held in Dayton, OH. An estimated crowd of 7,000 to 8,000 gathered in Courthouse Square downtown to listen to several speakers talk about the state of our nation and express their frustration at our economic predicament and their belief that the people of this country […]

Anarchy expected at G20 summit
March 27, 2009
The G20 summit is set to convene next week in London, and English police are gearing up for confrontations with multitudes of angry protesters, with fears that some protests may turn violent. The fears are given weight with the recent vandalism against the home of Bank of Scotland CEO Fred Goodwin, and while various groups […]
Tea Parties to kick off tomorrow across the nation
February 26, 2009
Across the nation tomorrow, Tea Parties are kicking off in protest of the unsustainable tax and spending policies exhibited in the massive $700 billion bank bailout, the monstrous $787 billion stimulus plan, the $410 omnibus spending bill, and the bloated Obama budget boasting a shocking $1.5 trillion deficit. Rick Santelli had the right idea when […]
