Will the real Tea Party candidate please stand up?

The Shark Tank has an interesting story today on Ozzie de Faria, a Republican candidate for congress in Palm Beach who's claiming he's endorsed by the Tea Party. The Shark Tank reports that the Tea Party organization de Faria claims is supporting him doesn't exist and all signs point to him being a Democrat plant [...]

“The Amazing Unraveling President”

From the blog Musings of a Mad Conservative comes an amazingly good piece on the events of yesterday. Read "The Amazing Unraveling President."
[...] For years, we conservatives have known that the word compromise to liberals simply means capitulate to our demands, and give up completely on your principles. I guess, after decades of [...]

Three must-reads from America Thinker

American Thinker is one of the best resources conservatives have to study the issues America faces in these perilous times. Today, there are three essays that are "must-reads," the first being the most important.
Obama's Final Solution by James Lewis (H/T Honey)
President Barack Obama is the most dogmatic and dangerous leftist we have ever seen in [...]

Is this enough hope and change for you?

The Knights of Havana

A reliable source tells us that members of  Miami's Knights of Malta have just returned from a trip to Cuba, where they're reporting that they had a great time, the food was delicious and most importantly - that Cuba is not as bad as everyone claims.
Now let's be sure not confuse [...]

Interesting FOIA angle

Ex-Justice Department Official: Obama Could Be Forced to Release the Osama Death Photos.
Barack Obama has finally decided against releasing a photo of Osama bin Laden's corpse as proof of his death. But the former chief freedom of information expert for the U.S. government tells Gawker that he may not have that choice.
Up [...]

An ethical breach?

A memo has surfaced that suggests the FBI had a mole inside ABC News in the aftermath of the Oklahoma City bombings:
A once-classified FBI memo reveals that the bureau treated a senior ABC News journalist as a potential confidential informant in the 1990s, pumping the reporter to ascertain the source of a sensational [...]

Fidel’s Ideal Road Map to Solve the Alan Gross Case

The next time you see a column or analysis by former Castro regime bureaucrat Arturo Lopez-Levy or former U.S official Lawrence Wilkerson, read this one beforehand so you can be fully aware of their mindset and where they're coming from.
My thoughts on their post are shown (in italics) below.
A Road Map to Solve the Alan Gross [...]

Screw the IRS!

So I'm sitting here finishing my 1040 and marveling at the fact that my FEDERAL tax liability for 2009 was $19,728. That's 19 grand to pay for phony stimulus. 19 grand to pay salaries of unaccountable loser bureaucrats. To add insult to injury, because of elections I made at the beginning of [...]

Rubio 57%, Crist 28%

From Rasmussen Reports:
Support for Florida Governor Charlie Crist’s U.S. Senate bid has fallen this month to its lowest level yet. Just 28% of the state’s likely Republican voters support his candidacy now, down six points from March.
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely GOP Primary voters in the Sunshine State shows former state House [...]

Is this fair?

Nearly half of US households escape federal income tax.
Tax Day is a dreaded symbol of civic responsibility for millions of taxpayers, but for nearly half of all U.S. households, it's simply somebody else's problem. About 47 percent of U.S. households will pay no federal income taxes for 2009, either because their incomes were too low [...]

Howard Zinn eulogized, sort of

"A People’s History of Howard Zinn":
One of the unwritten laws of opinion journalism is to never kick a man when he’s dead, at least, not until an appreciable amount of time has passed. The question is whether this can or should hold true for those who make their living by doing precisely that. The death [...]

The joke’s on us

Mark Steyn is on the case of TSA's response to the Christmas Day terrorist attempt:
On Christmas Day, a gentleman from Nigeria succeeded (effortlessly) in boarding a flight to Detroit with a bomb in his underwear. Pretty funny, huh?
But the Pantybomber wasn’t the big joke. The real laugh was the United States government. The global hyperpower [...]

Isn’t it great our tax dollars are going to worthy causes?

"SafeLink Wireless is a government supported program that provides a free cell phone and airtime each month for income-eligible customers."
Are you outraged yet? Or is it only conservatives that feel we are being scammed?

Charlie’s hug

Time to pay the piper.
Republican Gov. Charlie Crist probably wasn't worried that literally embracing President Barack Obama back in February and strongly supporting the $787 billion federal stimulus package would hurt his U.S. Senate campaign.
Sure, the hardcore party base wasn't happy, but the appearance was an opportunity to win over Democrats, independents and moderate Republicans [...]

“Welcome to Sharia in the United States”

From YouTube:
This is a video of Nabeel Qureshi and David Wood asking questions at Arabfest, Dearborn. The date is June 21st, 2009. There was a booth at the festival which had a banner titled "Islam: Got Questions? Get Answers." From their table, we picked up a pamphlet claiming that Islam promotes peace. We noticed that [...]
