The Father of the Tea Party

The Left is oft-quick to regurgitate revolution-era platitudes to justify their own revolution against the very institutions which the Revolution was fought to protect. Whilst the real meaning of it all escapes them still.

Ron Michel, 70: Who said social media is only for Gen Y?

As I’ve crossed the country training conservative activists, I’ve run into more than a few individuals who believe that social media and web based tools are impossible for people over 25 to comprehend. It doesn’t matter how heavily I emphasize the point, someone invariably makes a comment (or at least skeptically rolls their eyes) disparaging…

We Must Win Locally

We like to say “all politics is local” and “national change truly begins at the local level”.  If this is true and if we as conservatives deign to make a national impact to change the current course of this country, we must acknowledge that it is imperative to win locally. I can’t emphasize enough that…

Twitter & Asymmetric Political Warfare

Oh Twitter, how I love thee. Let me count the ways… I first became interested in Twitter a bit over a year ago while reading Seth Godin’s book, Tribes (for my full blog review of the book click here). Before I even finished the book I had to log online and get my account set…

On Birfers and Truthers

I see that Erick Erickson of RedState has made it clear that RedState is not the place for birfers or truthers. Neither is American Majority. I second Erick’s comments that birfers and truthers have no place among us, nor do they have a place in the tea party movement. Birfers and Truthers are free to enjoy…

Protecting the Tea Party Image

It’s not exactly news that I had disagreements with the organizers of the recent tea party convention in Nashville. So I’ll bring up another point of disagreement with them and hope to clarify what the movement is really about. Let me start by saying what it’s not about. By giving a prominent birther the microphone…

Close the Floodgates

The Heritage Foundation today has a good good piece on the attempt for a second stimulus and the extreme growth of government taking place. Rather than recreate a similar article, I thought I would share some highlights: Anticipating this bleak job news, the President announced in his State of the Union address last week: “That is why…

Tea Parties Vs. OFA

Organizing for America was advertised as the nucleus of the progressive wave supposedly sweeping America. OFA was to have the capacity to organize, motivate, and deploy liberal drones throughout the country. They would utilize the passion stirred up from the 2008 presidential election, mobilizing campaign volunteers into policy advocates. Yet, everything we have seen is…

The Tea Partiers and the Continental Army

I’m going to make another comparison between the current tea party movement and the Founding of this nation. We all know about Valley Forge, and the trials and tribulations George Washington and the Continental Army faced during that brutal winter with the cold, sickness, and lack of food. What is not as well known is…
