A Tide in Numbers Show Unexpected and Deep Support

“There is a tide in the affairs of men.” William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar Act 4 It seems that more and more people feel compelled to take part in the growing conservative movement currently sweeping across this country. As a left-wing agenda is aggressively being pushed in Washington and out-of-touch politicians shamelessly bow to special interests…

The Liberal Philosophy: Do as I say…But not as I do

Working in politics sometimes overwhelms me.  Seriously, at times it absolutely drains me. Granted, I love constantly being aware of what is happening both in Washington and in my local community, and yes, it is very exciting to work in the political world. But to be honest, I go home every night and purposely avoid…

A Pearl of Wisdom from John Locke

It is the knowledge that there is an element of the Divine in our efforts that should spur us on even further – the knowledge that by giving of our time and talent to make a difference this November, we are preserving our God-given right to liberty and a government that is useful to us, not harmful.

Winning: The Art of Getting It Right

Election season is in full swing even for those last-minute candidates who waited for the filing deadlines before announcing.  I’ve talked to several candidates this week who are jumping into the door-to-door campaign feet first, full of vigor and excited to get out and start walking. The bad part?  They hadn’t done their homework.  I…

The Third Party Temptation

There was nothing particularly odd about this post from the Philadelphia Libertarian Examiner. Nothing, that is, until the last line. Every day a new column, blog, or news story comes out telling us that the GOP is in a fight for its life against the Tea Party, which threatens to destroy it from within. It’s…

The Morning After?

Well, here we are just a little over 24 hours from the results of tons of primaries across the nation as they close the polls and report the results. Wonder what will happen to all the candidates that have been expounding around the nation on their credentials, patriotism and how hard they want to work…

What Are You Doing For Liberty?

Parties are great. Protests raise awareness. If that’s where our efforts stop then our country will remain on it’s current trajectory. American Majority is training patriots, activists and candidates, to make a difference in politics. We’re moving beyond the Tea Parties to implementing freedom. That’s the short story of how the Post Party Summits got their name.…

Vote Local

We always hear of the benefits, virtues, and civic duty (both economic and social) related to supporting our local community through patronage of local business: “Buy Local”.  I have no problem with that.  I support local business as much as the next guy, but what I don’t completely understand is why this principle of local…

The Misperception of the Tea Party Movement

I often find myself amused when reading what others claim transpired at Tea Party rallies throughout the country and like the one I attended in St. Paul last week. We are led to believe these events are filled with a bunch of crazy, screaming, right-wing nuts who are disconnected with reality, attempting to revitalize a…

The Bigotry of Charles Blow

Since the advent of the conservative resurgence I have attended a number of TEA Party events, interacted with tens of thousands of TEA Partiers, trained over a fifteen-hundred with American Majority and spoken at several rallies and protests. One behavior I have never observed at these events or exhibited by the patriots around me is…

From Talking to Walking

Okay the rally is over, the signs are put away and now what?  Now is the time we separate the talk from the walk.  Each time I share with a group of people I ask this question: What are you personally willing to invest today to ensure freedom and liberty tomorrow? Here in Arkansas we…

After The Tea Party: What Now?

Today is Tax Day. This morning (…as I scrambled to finish my taxes and griped and moaned about the ungodly amounts of money that were taken from me by various parts of the government…) I reflected on how the TEA Party movement came about and where it should go from here. From Rick Santelli’s first…

Have the Tea Parties Outlived Their Usefulness?

I have to take issue with some of the talk that I occasionally hear from fellow conservatives and area leaders that “the time for Tea Parties is past.” The idea behind this line of thinking is that rallies and protests, in themselves, do not really bring about change. I get that. What these people fail…

Do You TEA Party in Texas?

The April 15th Tax Day deadline is upon us once again… A time where the nation’s collective blood pressure and stress level rises, and we take part (somewhat reluctantly) in our other civic duty. Recently, however, April 15th has also become a day on which the rallying cry for limited government and fiscal responsibility is…

Tea Parties and Taking Back our Nation

It’s nearly tea party time again and lately I’ve been thinking about all the changes that the tea party movement has seen in the past year of its existence.  There’s one moment that particularly stands out in my mind. My hometown of Salina, KS held a tea party on a grassy hill on April 15th where…

A New Birth of Freedom

The heat of adversity yields steely resolve, so says Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs Adjunct Scholar Paul Rahe in his landmark piece imploring conservatives to have heart, for this “could be our finest hour.”  Rahe highlights his thoughts in Soft Despotism, Democracy’s Drift that Americans are “made of sterner stuff,” thus we have not fallen…

The End of the Beginning

In two weeks the Tax Day TEA Parties will celebrate their one-year anniversary. As we prepare to celebrate that day and how far our conservative insurgency has come, I believe it’s critical to remember where we are in this struggle. In the past year we have won major victories and experienced stinging defeats. We have…

Summit Speakers Announced

While it has been a very trying past few days, we at American Majority are hopeful. We see the courage and resolve coming from the grassroots and know that America’s finest days are still ahead. We have the numbers, we have the passion, what we need is the training. That is why we put together…

Had Enough Yet?

Last night’s vote to strap the American people with trillions of dollars of more debt, circumvent our freedoms and enslave our children is very likely the proverbial straw that breaks the camel’s back. I see this usurpation as a chance for Americans across this nation to lay down their lives of mediocrity and take up…

A Unique Event: Why Everyone Should Take Note

Standing outside in the cold for several hours is an uncommon occurrence and yes, even in Minnesota, most would consider this to be a bit crazy. When asked by friends in warmer climates how do you handle the cold, my response is pretty simple – we just stay out of it. It is no wonder…

Taxation Despite Representation

There are only a few movies I really, really enjoy watching.  Among them is Amistad.  After all, I’m a history buff (particularly of antiquity and of the American founding era) as well as a political junky.  So it comes as no surprise that I see all sorts of political metaphors on the silver screen.  And…
