"It's all change at Bilderberg this year, with a new chairman, new media and Occupy Bilderberg knocking at the gates."... "Aside from the US presidency, the big debate of Bilderberg 2012 is likely to be: what in Hades do we do about Greece? The Eurozone is Bilderberg's biggest project, but it's been looking distinctly shaky of late. What's to be done? You can feel the unwillingness of Bilderberg to countenance a 'Grexit' ..." 'A consensus is slowly emerging that, whether a Greek exit is to be averted or weathered, there will have to be a greater level of integration in...

Last night, Resistance 44 launched its website and one of its first videos (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=-n_wRpqIanA). What is Resistance 44?

Mission Resistance 44 will make history and fight progressivism at the polls by generating the largest turnout of informed young voters. For far too long, we have been spoon-fed the progressive culture from the likes of Hollywood elites and sensationalized news...

Part Three and the last of catching up with my back log of missing AARs. As mentioned in Parts One and Two, a very good way to remember and honor our Marines, soldiers, sailors, airmen and coasties who have given their lives over the past 2 centuries is by getting caught up on the AARs for Olney, MD’s Support the Troops Rallies during this Memorial Day Weekend. Part of the freedom we have is being able to stand on any corner in America and have the freedom to express ourselves. The patriots in Olney stand to give voice to our...

Seems like a very good way to remember and honor our Marines, soldiers, sailors and airmen who have given their lives over the past 2 centuries is by getting caught up on the Support the Troops Rallies in Olney AARs during this Memorial Day Weekend. Part of the freedom we have is being able to stand on any corner in America and have the freedom to express ourselves. The patriots in Olney stand to give voice to our military against those who scorn and disrespect our brave military. One other thought is also paramount in our minds. We let our...

<p>Kristinn and Dr Raoul have needled a naughty response from Bob Kerrey at the 9/11 conference. Dr Raoul is displaying a sign that says "If Osama was a piece of tail-Clinton would have nailed him. Kristinn is dressed as Sandy Berger, complete with Top Secret documents stuffed in his pants. When Kerrey arrived Kristinn asked him if Berger should go to jail. Raoul asked him if he was going to stay at the meeting or leave for more important matters. Kerrey gave them a look then ducked inside only to return outside to ask them who they were and what were their names. Kerrey then called Dr. Raoul an A*****e. When questioned on the language he stated that it was OK to curse because he isn't a politician.</p>

We have some big news coming out of Texas!We got word from Tea Party Express endorsed Texas U.S. Senate candidate Ted Cruz that he just received the powerful endorsement of former Alaskan Governor and U.S. Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin and her husband Todd Palin. This is a major boost for the surging conservative from Texas in his quest to champion Tea Party values of fiscal responsibility in the U.S. Senate.  Gov. Palins endorsement carries a lot of weight with conservatives and Tea Party groups.  It was just this last week that she put her stamp of approval on...

Walker has achieved in his short time in office. . . We...

A well-organized protest against Bank of America Corp. began Wednesday morning in Charlotte's uptown with a fake boxing match and marches from three separate directions on the company's headquarters. City officials say they could see up to 1,000 protesters from around the state and the United States in Charlotte, as Bank of America hosts shareholders for its annual meetings. Charlotte-Mecklenburg police, armed with a new city ordinance that puts limits on such protests, made a strong showing in the uptown area. . . .

This sums up the core of any Liberal's argument

My FRiends, we might as well face the reality that we the combined pro-life conservative movement and tea party coalition have lost this round (the presidential election) in the larger battle to reclaim our constitution and our inalienable rights. Rove, Romney and the GOP-e have successfully destroyed and driven off each and every pro-life conservative tea party candidate from the race and all have surrendered to the Romney camp. It is no secret that Romney is not one of us. There is absolutely no doubt that he has never accomplished a single conservative thing in his entire political career (one...

The White House Correspondents Dinner on Saturday night brought out not only media celebrities but also their critics. The D.C. Chapter of Free Republic gathered outside of the Washington Hilton and heckled (H/T Marooned in Marin blog) attendees who walked past them or drove by. The group is known to do this every year for the past 13 WHCD's.

A dozen conservative activists interacted with dinner attendees including Woody Harrelson and Chris Matthews. As the nation’s elite journalists arrived at the Washington Hilton to hobnob with President Obama at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, many were met by a small group of protesters shouting "don't believe the liberal press" and holding signs adorned with photos of deceased conservative activist Andrew Breitbart. A few notable attendees politely mixed it up a bit with the protesters, who also shouted accusations of hypocrisy at the well-dressed journalists and Hollywood celebrities. Protester Kevin Martin asked MSNBC host Chris Matthews why he wasn't driven...

Dear Tea Party Supporters,We have received word from the Richard Mourdock for Indiana U.S. Senate campaign that they are within 1 POINT of RINO Sen.

We are fighting back with an ad campaign of our own to get the truth out there about the success that Gov. Walker and his reforms have had in Wisconsin. ...

I have to work today and tomorrow so I can't man any of Newt's phone banks, but if anybody can use this letter to forward in e-mails to your lists before tomorrow's primaries, please do so: Mitt Romney supports government-coerced abortion. He personally has made the decision to force people to provide abortions even though they believe it to be murder. Yes, he vetoed Romneycare because it mandated abortion insurance coverage, but in Dec 2005 after his veto was overridden and the Boston Globe printed an article noting that Catholic hospitals would be exempt from providing abortions to rape victims,...

All Pennsylvania voters need to vote for Delegates BY NAME, but the candidates those delegates support are NOT shown on the ballot. Great system, huh? Who you vote for as President on the ballot is meaningless because the delegates are NOT bound. Here's a sample ballot for District 13 to show you what I mean. I was searching online and this is the closest I found to a list of which delegates are supporting which candidates. It was on the Ron Paul forums, but they deleted it, because they like to keep this information secret, so I pulled it from...

<p>Jim Rob Is Right - But Conservatives Here Have TWO Job2 To Do!</p> <p>First - blow off that feeling that we're going to lose, or already have lost! No, we're going to WIN.</p> <p>First item of business, get invovlved in the Tea Party movement, and give D.C. a whole new influx of conservatives in Congress similar in size and importance to that of the last election - thereby blocking any of Obamas chances of having Congressional support for his machinations. Note too, the Tea Party used the GOP vehicle, not a third party. Reason, third parties are losers, because they don't have the national organization and presence large enough to compete.</p>

Fellow Conservatives: My name is Matt Hoskins and I'm Director of the Senate Conservatives Fund, chaired by U.S. Senator Jim DeMint. I'm writing to give you a brief update on two important U.S. Senate races. O H I OIn Ohio, a new Rasmussen poll shows Josh Mandel tied with Sherrod Brown --- 43% to 43%. We endorsed Mandel last June when he trailed Brown by 17 points. Mandel was our first endorsement and many questioned if he could compete against such a well-known, established incumbent. Now we know the answer. We didn't expect this race to be tied this soon,...

About the Event Government run health care is the best example of everything wrong with the federal government. It is financially reckless. No one knows what it will ultimately cost - or where the money will come from. Additionally, ObamaCare will grow the federal government into every aspect of our lives. It will grow government into a massive bloated bureaucracy making health care decisions that directly affect you. In fact, the federal government must hire more than 17,000 IRS agents to enforce the law. We need your help to stop Government run health care! Join thousands of patriots who oppose...
