The Senate Conservatives Fund, chaired by U.S. Senator Jim DeMint, has launched this national “Repeal ObamaCare Pledge” to rally support for conservative candidates who vow to repeal President Obama’s health care takeover.
America is teetering toward tyranny and we must work together to reverse the radical agenda in Washington.
|
Electing just any Republican is not the answer. We’ve seen what happens when we send Republicans to Washington who don’t truly believe in the principles of freedom. They abandon their principles, lose the trust of the American people, and leave us with Democrats controlling Congress and the White House.

I guess Virginia AG Ken Cuccinelli didn’t listen to Obama’s latest lecture on health care. |
The Washington Post: A spokesman for Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli II (R) said this afternoon that Virginia will file suit against the federal government if the Democratic health care reform bill is approved by the U.S. Congress. |
Cuccinelli has long said he was examining the legal issues and suggested he would likely file suit. Brian Gottstein, a spokesman for the office, said this afternoon that a lawsuit is now a definite. Gottstein would provide no details of the legal rationale for such a suit, indicating the process is “still being worked out.” |
Virginia last week became the first state in the country to pass a state bill declaring it illegal for the government to require individuals to purchase health insurance, a key part of bills under consideration on Capitol Hill. Read more at www.lonelyconservative.com |
| From 1776 to 1783 Thomas Paine published sixteen pamphlets known as The American Crisis. These pamphlets were crafted to inspire the colonists during the turbulent times of the American Revolution |
| The first was released on December 23, 1776. What makes this pamphlet so vital in our country’s history is that Thomas Paine crafted the right words for the right time during the early days of our struggle for independence |
| Those words inspired General Washington into action. The pamphlet, was read aloud to the Continental army on December 23, 1776, two days before the Battle of Trenton |
| The first paragraph from it was a call for courage and perseverance |
It was December 1776 and all appeared lost after the Continental Army met with defeat after defeat against a better trained and more organized enemy. The British felt the rebellion was crushed and George Washington was nothing more than an annoyance. Below is an excerpt from the New World Encyclopedia |
| John Edwards, when he wasn’t fixing his hair or cheating on his wife, liked to talk about “two Americas.” In one America, things were pretty bad, somewhere between “The Grapes of Wrath” and Thunderdome. In the other America, where Edwards himself lived in a McMansion, things were going swimmingly.
|
As serious analysis, this bifocal vision of America has always left me cold. The American economy is too dynamic, the American people too optimistic, to talk so glibly about haves and have-nots as permanent classes, the way French aristocrats talked about the peasants. More than half the people in the poorest 20 percent pull themselves out of it within a decade. Moreover, it’s all based on a kind of class envy that has never flourished in the U.S. the way it has elsewhere.
|
But it’s certainly fair to say that our political leaders believe in two different Americas. They even believe in two different Constitutions.

As I reflect on the past year I cannot help but see that there is a war a brewing. What war you ask? Well… a war against progressivism. The next three years are going to be a war of ideals as we combat the threats of the progressive movement against our personal liberties and freedoms. I believe that we have only see the beginning of these battles with the tea parties and town hall protests. |
So as Americans who love our freedom, what will be our battle plan? Well, if we intent to continue to govern ourselves, we must go back to our founding principals. We need to continue remind people why our great experiment was formed the way it was. Why our Founders worked so hard to protect us from a government out of control. It’s obvious that our educational system will not do it. The alternative is un-American, the alternative is that someone is going to govern us. Read more at paulthepoliticalpundit.blogspot.com |
| Rarely before have the alternatives facing America been so starkly defined. For the past year, Washington’s leaders have taken an already unsustainable budget outlook and made it far worse. They have exploited Americans’ genuine economic anxieties to justify an unrelenting and wide-ranging expansion of government. Their agenda has included, among other things, a failed, debt-financed economic “stimulus”; an attempt to control the Nation’s energy sector; increasing domination of housing and financial markets; the use of taxpayer dollars to seize part ownership of two nearly bankrupt auto makers; and, of course, the planned takeover of Americans’ health care, already heavily burdened, manipulated, and distorted by government spending and regulation. This domineering government brings taxes, rules, and mandates’ generates excessive levels of spending, deficits, and debt; leads to economic stagnation and declining standards of living; and fosters a culture in which self-reliance is a viceRead more at www.stumbleupon.com |
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and his wife, Virginia. Speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference, she said: “I have felt called to the front lines with you, with my fellow citizens, to preserve what made America great.”

| In January, Virginia Thomas created Liberty Central Inc., a nonprofit lobbying group whose website will organize activism around a set of conservative “core principles,” she said. |
| The group plans to issue score cards for Congress members and be involved in the November election, although Thomas would not specify how. She said it would accept donations from various sources — including corporations — as allowed under campaign finance rules recently loosened by the Supreme Court. |
Classical liberalism — which we shall call here simply liberalism — is based on the conception of civil society as, by and large, self-regulating when its members are free to act within very wide bounds of their individual rights. Among these the right to private property, including freedom of contract and free disposition of one’s own labor, is given a very high priority. Historically, liberalism has manifested a hostility to state action, which, it insists, should be reduced to a minimum (Raico 1992, 1994). |
II. Austrian Economics and Wertfreiheit |
| Ludwig von Mises, for instance (1949, p. 881), stated that, “economics is apolitical or nonpolitical … it is perfectly neutral with regard to judgments of value, as it refers always to means and never to the choice of ultimate ends.” |
| the fact is that all of the major figures in the development of Austrian economics habitually took positions on policy issues that they held to be somehow grounded in their economic doctrines.Read more at mises.org |
When Abu al-Zarqawi died and George Washington met at the Pearly Gates. George slapped him across the face and yelled, “How dare you try to destroy the nation I helped conceive!” |
| Patrick Henry approached, punched him in the nose and shouted, “You wanted to end our liberties but you failed!” |
| James Madison followed, kicked him in the groin and said, “This is why I allowed our government to provide for the common defense!” |
| Thomas Jefferson was next, beating al-Zarqawi with a long cane, and who snarled, “It was evil men like you who inspired me to write the Declaration of Independence.” |
The beatings and thrashings continued as George Mason, James Monroe and 66 other early Americans unleashed their anger on the terrorist Leader. |
As al-Zarqawi lay bleeding and in pain, he beseeched Allah, “This is not what you promised me.” |
