America Fights Back…Coming to a Tea Party Near You

Finally! Americans are beginning to fight back. In the spirit of revolutionaries from more than 200 years ago, Americans are going back to the Tea Party. It was back in 1773 when the first Boston Tea Party took place. They tossed British crates of tea into the water, protesting the taxes from the British. Well, once again people are outraged and sending a message to government by way of the Tea Party.

While no one is tossing out crates of tea, Tea Parties are being held all over the country to protest Obama's spending bills. This movement got started right after the multi billion stimulus plan was signed by Obama and is known as the American Tea Party movement.

Once this movement got started, it caught on like wild fire. Already several Tea Parties have been held, and there are quite a few more that are scheduled. Just a few of the places that these Tea Party protests are taking place include Raleigh, Cincinnati, Little Rock, Boston, Orlando, Tampa, Salt Lake City, Boise, Maui, Harrisburg, Cleveland, Kansas City, Philadelphia, Pasadena, Green Bay, Lafayette, Tucson, Monterey, Chicago, and Phoenix.

Of course most of the main stream media is not covering these events. The only two so far to offer coverage are FOX News and CNN. However, this hasn't stopped people from getting the word out there. You can find reports on political blogs, video on YouTube, and pictures all over the web. Protesters have decided they won't do this quietly.

Personally, I'm thinking that it's about time that this is happening. Americans have been silent too long already. I'm excited that people are realizing that they DO have a voice. I've been afraid for some time that the American people might just let socialism creep in before they realized it. I'm happy to find out I was wrong. There are people willing to do something and I'm one of them.

I'll be attending the Tea Party in my area in a few weeks. I'm going to be taking advantage of my right to protest. While I know there are those out there that will probably say we "shouldn't protest the government" I disagree. We have to protest. If we are silent, we are just as guilty. We must not be silent. I challenge my readers - find a Tea Party near you. Go!!! Make your voice heard. There's a Tea Party coming to a city near you…where will you be???

Here are a few pictures of Tea Parties that have already taken place. I hope they will inspire you!

Happy St. Paddy's Day

Obama…So Many Mistakes…So Little Time

It's March. Only March. In so little time, no other President of this country has managed to make so many mistakes. Obama has definitely proved that many were right with their fears of him going through "on the job training." So far, in my book, he's getting a big fat "F" in his training.

After all, we all make mistakes, but really…how many mistakes do you have to make there Mr. President? It's getting ridiculous. He almost makes the amateurish Clinton mistakes look petty. Americans should be more worried than ever about this President ever handling a real crisis, such as 9/11. Here's a few of the recent mistakes Obama has been making.

Mistake #1 - Picking "Schoolyard" Fights with Pundits
Since when did Presidents focus their attention on fights with pundits? It's like a silly fight in the schoolyard. Apparently the Obama Administration thinks it needs to go out there and spend valuable time criticizing the Sean Hannity's and the Rush Limbaugh's out there. The very thought that anyone would criticize the president. The audacity. Watch out folks…freedom of speech is about to go out the window. Since when did Obama have the time to even care what people were saying? I thought he had his hands full with the economy?

Mistake #2 - Not Understanding What "Vetting" Is
Apparently "vetting" is a term that President Obama just doesn't understand. It's about time that he learn the meaning. After all, the guy still doesn't have all the positions filled. People keep "reconsidering" or quitting because they have legal problems coming to light. Half the people he picks end up in tax investigations. I guess he's giving us a clue about the people he enjoys keeping company with. No wonder we have a bad economy!

Mistake #3 - Blowing Off Eastern European Countries - Czech Republic and Poland
While Bush 43 spent so much time working on better ties with countries in Easter Europe, especially the Czech Republic and Poland, Obama has been trying to "secretly" blow off these countries. He sent a letter off to Dmitri Medvedev saying that they'd leave these two countries without missile defense if only Russia would help to stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Of course Russian didn't go with the deal, and the letter became public knowledge. Now these two countries know that Obama was willing to sell them off to the Russians who already are intimidating these countries. Absurd!

Mistake #4 - Continuing to Ruin Ties with Britain
Of course then there is the way that President Obama continues to ruin the ties we have with Britain. Britain is one of our greatest allies…or that is they WERE. As I've mentioned before in a post, Obama made a huge deal about sending back their Churchill Bust that was a gesture of goodwill. Then he treats the British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, very badly while he was visiting. The press conference they were supposed to have together was totally blown off by Obama, and then he gives the PM a set of DVDs of classic American movies after being given a gift that was priceless - a pen holder that was made from the timbers from the HMS President, which was a British warship from the 19th century. It's not hard to see why Britain was offended. It appears that Obama doesn't want much to do with Britain…he's too busy courting and wooing those Middle Eastern countries and all his Muslim relatives.

Mistake #5 - Bad Mouthing the Economy and Creating More of a Crisis
Last of all, President Obama continues to bad mouth the economy at every turn. Instead of giving Americans hope, all he does is talk the country and economy down. He's always talking about a crisis, and meanwhile he's making a bigger crisis. It seems that the more he talks ( not to mention when the tax cheat Geithner talks) the stock market continues to go down. We have seen the lowest numbers since 1997 (Clinton was in Office) in the past few days, and Obama has definitely been one to help it get there. Even Democrats with financial knowledge recognize that Obama is making a bad problem worse.

Of course I don't have time to tell you about all Obama's mistakes...I don't think Blogger will let me post that much at once. These are just a few of the big ones. What do you think? Do you want a president that makes mistakes at every turn? I Don't!!!

Rush Limbaugh Attacked by Steele - RNC Leader Makes Big Mistake

Michael Steele, the new head of the RNC, has spend the last few weeks talking about how he wants to take the Republican party forward and make changes to bring the party together. Then came Rush's excellent speech at CPAC, the one that put other Republicans to shame…suddenly Steele shows a different side of his personality.

Rahm Emmanuel, D.L. Hughley, and even Obama himself began to talk about Rush as the head of the Republican party and as their enemy. Well, Steel goes on the defensive and opens his mouth saying this "Let's put it into context here. Rush Limbaugh is an entertainer. Rush Limbaugh, the whole thing is entertainment. Yes, it's incendiary, yes, it's ugly --" This is what Steele had to say about Rush after his amazing speech at CPAC.

Frankly I was stunned to hear this. I expected more from Steele. He's simply done what the Democrats wanted him to do…he drove a big rift in the party. His comments also make conservatives wonder if Steele is really such a conservative himself. After all, the man won't even criticize President Obama. Whose side is Steele really on?

Sure, Steele later came out and made an apology to Rush, but the damage has been done. He's spoken out against one of the most well known conservative voices out there. Rush is so much more than the "entertainer" that Steele made him out to be. Rush is a passionate conservative who actually speaks out about what he believes in. He is well spoken, and can make a wonderful speech without the teleprompter that our current president clings too.

Steel would do well to remember that Rush has 22+ million listeners every single day. There are a lot of people who feel the same way Rush does. There are still conservatives out there.

If Steele's comments recently are showing what he will be like as a leader of the RNC, then I may have to rethink my membership of the Republican party. As I've mentioned before, perhaps it's time that a new party emerges. It's time that conservatives take things back here. The Republican party has been bastardized by ridiculous moderates who want to be liberals in Republican clothing. Now they even vote with our ridiculous liberal President that wants to incorporate socialism.

I recently read what Rush had to say on Steele's comments. He definitely made some great comments and great points. Read it yourself HERE. He closed with the thought that a sleeping "conservative giant" has been awakened. I only pray that he is right. Unless conservatives wake up and band together, I cringe to think about the fate of this country.

In conclusion, there is one lesson that we should learn here - the power of your voice. One speech by one man has started such a controversy. Perhaps it is what will be needed to get conservatives in action. Perhaps it will be a reminder that each voice can make a difference in America. However, to make a difference, you actually have to use your voice, not sit back and be silent while the country falls to pieces. Edmund Burke said it so well, "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."

Obama Promises Bipartisanship

Obama has promised throughout his campaign and even through his short presidency that he would "reach across the isle" to the Republicans. Well, this turned out to be one of his promises turned lies…one of the many!

He continues to pretend that he is reaching out. He even went around hugging the Republicans at his first address to Congress. If I were a Republican in Congress, I would have thrown up at the pathetic and sugary way he tried to play the bipartisan president. Sorry Mr. President - bipartisanship takes more than just hugging people of the opposite party.

Basically what President Obama means by "bipartisanship" is that you agree with me and we'll all be friends. Otherwise he'll try to convince the media that you just won't work with anyone. It appears that when he wants to be bipartisan, he doesn't want to reach across the isle, he wants everyone to come on over to his side of the isle.

If the Republicans are smart, they'll stay as far away as possible from his ideas and bills. Otherwise they are as guilty as he is!

10 Things that Make You Go Hmmmmm About the "Obama Era"

You've more than likely heard about the things that make you go hmmmmm. Well, I've come up with my list of 10 for the Obama era. Read them and no doubt your response will also be "hmmmmm."

#10 - The Largest Spending Bill Ever - The stimulus bill that was recently passed was the largest spending bill that has ever been proposed and passed. Of course Obama still proclaims he's going to take control of the deficit. Doubtful!

#9 - ACORN Will Never Be Investigated - While there is evidence that ACORN was involved in voter fraud, it will never be investigated - at least not while Obama is president.

#8 - Socialism Has Become a Savior - In the past months all we hear is doom and gloom talk about our economy. However, Obama and his "cronies" always like to bring out that becoming more like Europe (essentially a style of socialism) would supposedly keep the U.S. from going through another depression.

#7 - Obama Has Broken Practically Ever Campaign Promise - In just over a month as president, Obama has broken almost all of the promises that he has made…and people thought Bush broke promises??? So much for big tax cuts, so much for cutting the deficit, so much for transparency for Washington. None of it has happened.

#6 - Many Moderate Republicans Continue to Go Along with Democratic Policies - The party has been destroyed by some of these "moderate" republicans in the past few years. They continue to do so by pushing democratic policies, such as big government and big spending. In fact, some of them even voted for the stimulus bill instead of holding out. If the three republicans in the senate had not voted for the bill, it would not have passed.

#5 - Obama Worship - People literally worship Obama. It's ridiculous. He's just another politician, full of lies, yet many people literally worship him. Not only is it disgusting…it's also very sad.

#4 - The Treasury Secretary is a Tax Cheat - Tim Geithner, who is now the Treasury Secretary can't even deal with his own taxes. He's a known tax cheat, and now he's in charge of the treasury….hmmmmm.

#3 - The Government has Destroyed the Banking Industry and Wants to Nationalize It - It was the government that help to destroy the banking industry. Now they are using this problem to now try to nationalize banks. Like we really need the government controlling banks. They've done enough damage.

#2 - We Now Spend Billions Rewarding Those that Don't Pay Their Mortgages - With the new stimulus bill and the new housing bills out there, people who don't pay their mortgages are getting rewarded. They get a huge break, funded by the rest of us working hard to pay our own bills. Perhaps they shouldn't have purchased homes they couldn't afford.

#1 - Without the Stimulus Bill We Could Have Ended the Recession Earlier - New reports are showing that we could have been out of the recession by the middle of this year. Experts actually believe that the stimulus bill could extend the recession even longer. 2010 may still see us in a deep recession…I just hope the right people get the blame.

Things that make you go hmmmmm!
