I have been on this site for about 3 years or so. I listen and learn from Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh, Levine and so many more. I, like most of you, have taken valuable time from my family to help preserve freedom. I have gone to (band played) NUMEROUS Tea parties, been to NUMEROUS town halls, Called and emailed Senators, Congressmen both in state and federal. Been to 9-12 meetings, handed out brochures and battled local government over school agendas. I have received hate mail, threats and have lost sleep... all the while finding time to work and spend time with...

Wow... went to 8-28 in DC. Best crowd, as usual... I will follow up with photos. I was at the 9-12 and HCR rally and I would safely say there were 2 million plus people. Crowds overflowed from the Lincoln memorial to the Washington Monument. Unbelievable...

Obama administration will give away nearly $6 million of American tax dollars to restore 63 historic and cultural sites, including Islamic mosques and minarets, in 55 nations. See the State Department document here. This is an outrage! Our country is broke. And can you imagine what the ACLU and others on the secular left would say if these monies had been spent to repair Christian churches? They would be screaming "separation of church and state!" Funding Islam on foreign soil with American taxpayer money? Not a whimper. The latest taxpayer givaway includes $76,000 for a 16th century mosque in China,...

Tens of thousands of people lined up at an East Point shopping center hoping to get federal housing assistance became unruly Wednesday morning with reports of fights breaking out in the crowd. An East Point police spokesman said the crowd numbered 30,000, some of whom waited for two days at the Tri-Cities Plaza shopping center. They were seeking applications for East Point Housing Authority vouchers to discount their rent. As the temperature rose Wednesday, people fell ill. Sgt. Cliff Chandler, spokesman for the East Point Police Department, said there were no reported injuries from the jostling, but 62 people had...

Bumble Bee Ham is opening a processing plant and deli in New York just two blocks away from Ground Zero next to a new mosque. The new location will process ham to be shipped out to Bumble Bee Hams across the country and launch a new high end deli on the ground level called “Bacon.” The feature item is a bacon burger made from ground bacon, topped with bacon served open faced on a bacon croissant with bacon ranch and a side of bacon sticks. This has set off a firestorm between many Americans and Muslims against so-called “bacon extremists.”

Gosh, the last two years I have been calling Congress, Senators, going to Tea Parties, Went to DC many times, Town Halls, Blogs and web sites trying to defend and preserve our freedom and liberty. I have been feeling pretty good until the HCR bill. I remember driving back from DC feeling exhausted and actually named the photo folder "last day of freedom". However, then a few days later it passed I was a tad down then bounced back. Then it has been one bill after another and one setback after another. I seem to be running out of energy......

.....One idea for raising taxes to pay down the debt is the bill introduced this February by Rep. Chaka Fattah (D-Pa.). His “Debt Free America Act” (H.R. 4646) would impose a 1 percent “transaction tax” on every financial transaction — whether paid by cash, credit card or any form of financial transfer, the only exception being transactions involving the purchase or sale of stock. Theoretically, everyone would pay one cent on the dollar for every such transaction in America every day — whether $3 million on a $300 million business acquisition, $300 on the purchase of a $30,000 car, or...

The House voted 219-206 Thursday to approve a campaign finance bill to tighten disclosure requirements for corporate and union spending on political campaigns. The bill, a response to the January Supreme Court decision that overturned spending limits for corporations and unions, now heads to the Senate, where it faces a perilous path to passage.

By Kevin McCullough While defending his own policies President Obama has routinely been rude and sarcastic to his predecessor, George W. Bush. Yet Obama appears to be making the resident of the previous White House look like a genius compared to his own serious missteps in office. Case in point – Interior Secretary Ken Salazar's performance and the communication of priorities on the issue of oil rig safety in the Gulf of Mexico. It seems incomprehensible that the president and other members of the administration still have jobs when it is now being reported that the federal government was apprised...

Hello Everyone: Here is this from the National Association of Gun Rights on what the NRA has done. Since the NRA has been supporting Harry Reid of Nevada, it seems they have made a deal with the rest of them. NRA cuts deals to limit free speech URGENT ALERT: NRA cuts deals to limit free speech Three prominent Washington D.C. websites are reporting what many capitol insiders warned of: the National Rifle Association has made a deal with the devil (i.e. anti-gun Democrats Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid) to limit the free speech of Americans in exchange for their carved-out...

"These people are occupied. And it's their land."

RUTHERFORD, N.J. (CBS) ― New Jersey tax revenues have plummeted again, this time by nearly $800 million. But in a first for his fledgling administration Gov. Chris Christie is not calling for more painful cuts. On the surface the news looked pretty grim for Garden State residents on Tuesday – thanks to an unanticipated drop in tax revenues of $402 million this year and $365 million next year. But a new budget hole of nearly $800 million is not going to give Gov. Christie a single new white hair. At least this time, the governor's message is "gotcha covered." "We're...

WTH is going on with oil... Down another $5 today. Also, it is down $25 over the last three weeks but no change at the pump... why? Memorial day weekend? Is this due to our strnger dollar?

Ugh. Sometimes you have to absolutely hate the mainstream media. If you’re a New Jersey resident, you might have been subjected to a recent report from the Associated Press that stated Governor Chris Christie’s staff was making a ton more money than former Governor Money Bags – I mean Jon Corzine’s – staff was making. Well, once again we have a situation where the Associated Press did almost no fact checking once the information was put in front of their biased little faces. Either that or they blatantly wanted to produce a story that was heavily negative against Governor Christie....
