TLC Statement of Principles

By William Way Jr. on Mar 19, 2013 in *Participate*, 2014 Election News, Cap and Trade, Opinion, Politics, Religion, Self-sufficiency

On March 15, 2013 I posted the preamble to the Platform of the Traditional Libertarian Constitutionalists (TLC) political initiative. This is not an official political party as yet. However, it is a series of positions which can unify the nation around sound public policy which a vast number of Americans are craving. Below, in conjunction [...]

It Can Happen Here

By Michael J. Fell on Mar 18, 2013 in 2014 Election News, featured opinion, Money, Opinion, Politics

For years now, the Euro zone has been experiencing difficulty absorbing the costs of bailing out relatively small countries with relatively small economies that have relatively small amounts of debt. Most recently, Euro zone leaders agreed to fund a bailout of Cyprus with a deal that includes taxing private bank deposits. The deal to fund [...]

Lady Liberty

By Michael J. Fell on Mar 16, 2013 in 2014 Election News, featured opinion, Opinion, Politics

Lady Liberty stands in New York Harbor proclaiming: Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. Lady Liberty: A beacon of freedom the entire world sees. A symbol of a better way of life anchored in liberty, opportunity and equal protection under the law. Inspiring yes, but that is not [...]

CPAC 2013 Stands With Rand

By Michael R Shannon on Mar 15, 2013 in 2014 Election News, Featured Posts, Michael Shannon

The 40th annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) held this week in National Harbor, just across the river from Washington, DC, did not appear to be a depressed gathering of Republicans and conservatives still reeling from last November’s presidential loss. There was friendly rivalry between supporters of Sen. Rand Paul (R–KY) and Sen. Marco Rubio [...]

The Phony White House Charm Offensive

By Michael J. Fell on Mar 12, 2013 in 2014 Election News, featured opinion, Opinion, Politics

Not only did the White House disavow the GOP’s 10-year budget plan put forth by House budget chief Rep. Paul Ryan, the White House will not release its budget until early April, a pattern true to the form displayed over Barack Obama’s time in office. White House press secretary Jay Carney verbally attacked Ryan’s budget, [...]

Time for Old Soldier McCain to Fade Away

By Michael J. Fell on Mar 08, 2013 in 2014 Election News, featured opinion, Opinion, Politics

Senator John McCain (R, AZ) continues his criticism of fellow Republicans for filibustering confirmation of CIA Director John O. Brennan over the White House’s drone policy. While interviewing with the Huffington Post, McCain used the term “wackos” to describe Senator Rand Paul (R, KY), Senator Ted Cruz (R, TX) and Representative Justin Amash (R, MI). [...]

Retaking the Senate in 2014 is pure moonshine

By Zbigniew Mazurak on Feb 26, 2013 in 2014 Election News, Politics

Republicans don’t even know what peril their chances of retaking their Senate are in. They’re even smaller than I previously thought. They’re almost nonexistent. It appears that my worst fears and predictions will come to fruition. Readers may recall that, a week ago, I warned Republicans against getting involved in protracted primary battles that only [...]

Republicans voting for cloture on Hagel MUST be voted out of office

By Zbigniew Mazurak on Feb 22, 2013 in 2014 Election News, National Defense and Military, Politics, Support Israel, Support the Troops

By the time of this writing (Feb. 22nd), several RINO Senators – Mike Johanns and Deb Fischer of Nebraska, Thad Cochran of Mississippi, John McCain-Feingold of Arizona, Lindsey Gramnesty of South Carolina, Richard Shelby of Alabama, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, and Susan Collins of Maine, intend to vote for cloture (i.e. breaking the filibuster) on [...]

CISPA Is Back: Bill Reintroduced In Congress

By TJ Thompson on Feb 20, 2013 in 2014 Election News, Politics

It’s baaaaaack! Congress has apparently raised the dead, because The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act – better known as CISPA – has been reintroduced in Congress, yet again, by Representative Mike Rogers, a Republican from Michigan’s 8th District. CISPA was introduced in the 112th Congress (H.R. 3523) and passed the House of Representatives with [...]

Tom Harkin on Wealth (Re)Allocation

By Warren Beatty (not the liberal actor) on Feb 16, 2013 in 2014 Election News, Politics

January 2015 cannot get here soon enough. That’s when Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA) will no longer be a U.S. senator. Harkin will not seek re-election in 2014. That’s good for, at least, two reasons. First, Harkin is a very hard left liberal, and his absence, regardless of who Iowans elect in his place, cannot but [...]

Karl Rove: The GOP’s Progressive Woodrow Wilson

By Lisa Richards on Feb 08, 2013 in 2014 Election News, A Broken System, Opinion, Politics, Self-sufficiency

“Architect” Karl Rove is a progressive disaster to the Republican Party: He’s pushing to destroy the Tea Party and American conservatism in order to install his version of politics that mirrors Woodrow Wilson. There’s not much difference between Wilson and Rove: Wilson wanted control over the Democrat Party and the American people abiding by [...]

The Law of the Morning

By Suzanne Webb on Jan 31, 2013 in *Participate*, 2014 Election News, A Broken System, exposing Obama, Health Care Reform, Money, Opinion, Politics, Traditional Values

‘Forty is the old age of youth and fifty is the youth of old age.’ I can’t believe we’re having this conversation. I can’t believe people think it’s okay to have this conversation. It is apparently so, ‘this conversation’ having advanced rapidly since 2009. Of old age Longfellow appropriately wrote: “Age is opportunity no less, [...]

Two Wrongs ≠ A Right

By Michael R Shannon on Jan 25, 2013 in 2014 Election News, Featured, Michael Shannon

It pains me to criticize Republicans acting aggressively on their own behalf, because lately it’s been rare. Sometimes it appears national GOP leadership would be content to emulate the panda and sit contentedly munching bamboo shoots in a special preserve where one is protected from predators and challengers alike. There is some indignity involved when [...]

Illogical Extremism of the left

By Michael J. Fell on Jan 18, 2013 in 2014 Election News, Featured, Gun Rights, Opinion, Politics

Recent events prove beyond reasonable doubt that members of the institutionalized “progressive” left are more than enthusiastic about attacking guns and gun owners. True to their Alinsky roots, they are ready, willing and eager to demonize gun owners and Second Amendment proponents by disparagingly using the term “gun lobby” to describe them. It is no [...]

“Progressive” Gun Control

By Michael J. Fell on Jan 16, 2013 in 2014 Election News, Featured, Gun Rights, Opinion, Politics

The Second Amendment is not about hunting. It is about the Right of the American people to prevent the likes of Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Diane Feinstein, Andrew Cuomo et al from obtaining unrestrained power. It is about the power of the people to prevent their being rounded up and put in gulags and/or concentration [...]
