You will not indoctrinate my child,” he wrote. “If you are going to present articles with a slant to one side you are morally and ethically required to present the opposing views, to give an opportunity for the student, your captive audience, to come to their own conclusions.” Barry also reached out to the principal, who defended the teacher’s assignment and allegedly told him The New York Times story was not slanted. On Friday the story took a bizarre turn. A friend of Barry’s received a telephone call that he says came from Cydnee Cohen, the president of the East...

Why isn't anyone challenging Harry Reid's characterization of law-abiding taxpayers as "anarchists." I do not belong to an official Tea Party group, and I doubt most people who consider themselves Tea Party people do, I support a government that spends within its means. How is that anarchist. I never understood the Tea Party to mean "no government" which is how they are being characterized. Why is this unchallenged? Doesn't that make it okay for IRS to conduct their witch hunts? I have worked since I was 14, first job was in my grandfather's bodega in the south Bronx. I have...

It is time for all Americans to come together to demand the integrity and trustworthiness of every vote cast. We should demand that every vote can be matched to a legal living resident in the community it was cast. No matter how long it takes--especially in the swing states.

Let's watch Clint Eastwood movies rather than DNC convention!!

Does this really make you want to buy an Audi or stop the green police?

The crisp crackling of AK-47s breaks the morning silence as US Marines inch towards the outskirts of a Taliban stronghold in Afghanistan's southern province of Helmand. US Marines run for cover after hearing bullets whizzing during a patrol in the outskirts of Marjah in central Helmand on 19 January. The Marines are on one of the patrol missions to inch closer to Marjah in Helmand province, which produces the bulk of the world's opium poppies, the main ingredient in the production of heroin. Within minutes, three squads of the Marines' 1st Battalion, 6th Regiment's Alpha company are pinned down in...

Afghan Summit Agenda - Head For The Exits By Steve Hynd According to a leaked document handed to the UK's Financial Times, the first item on the agenda for the London summit on Afghanistan is a rapid handover of responsibility for security to Afghan forces. The six-page draft envisages Afghan forces starting a phased process to take over responsibility for security at provincial level from the 110,000-strong Nato-led force later this year. Afghan security forces may assume primary responsibility for securing a number of the country’s 34 provinces by early 2011, the draft says. A Western diplomat said the agenda...

"If these folks want a fight," President Obama said Thursday, tossing a rhetorical barb at Wall Street, "it's a fight I'm ready to have." But what if they don't want a fight? To begin with the substance of his proposed regulations: Right now, all we have is a vague first draft. We know they will be fleshed out, rewritten, amended, tweaked, ping-ponged, and massaged. All along, we know Wall Street lobbyists will be at the table. The Wall Street "fat cats," as Obama calls them, probably aren't really looking for a fight as much as a seat at the table...

Patten Fueled by Scott Brown's stunning 'Massachusetts Miracle,' the New York political scene is buzzing with talk of a movement to draft Larry Kudlow to challenge liberal New York Sen. Chuck Schumer. Some grassroots activists in the Empire State have gone so far to establish a Draft Kudlow committee to encourage the top-rated CNBC talk host to join the political fray. Lawrence "Larry" Kudlow is a well-known economist and former Reagan adviser. Schumer's Senate seat is up for grabs in November. Conventional political...

Because of the resignation of Hillary Clinton from the U S Senate and the subsequent appointment of Kirsten Gillibrand, both of New York’s U.S. Senate seats are on the ballot this fall. While most of the focus has been on a potential dust up between the Junior Senator and former Congressman Harold Ford, Jr., no one has emerged as a potential candidate to oppose Senator Chuck Schumer, who’s campaign coffers contain more than $30 million. kudlow_Bio.standard But a candidate might emerge. New York Tea Party leaders are talking up the potential candidacy of CNBC Talking Head and former Reagan Advisor...

Wow... The House passes healthcare reform bill that will cost trillions more than we ever imagined The House passes Cap and trade bill based on tampered and fraudulent global warming data that will prevent an economic recovery The House does nothing to dampen our continued dependence on foreign oil as price of gas goes up and up 30,000 troops ordered to Afghanistan--including MY son who leaves in January, and the president helps the enemy by announcing exit date of July 2011 I am positively stunned to see that you, my Congresswoman are hard at work on the census, IRS refunds...

In 2000, Al Gore was worth a little over $2,000,000. Today, he is worth hundreds of millions. There are so many millionaires in D.C. now--and most have held public office for many years. Where is their wealth coming from? Is it because they pass legislation which they know will make certain industries and companies grow--and they happen to be on the ground floor? I would really love to see some stats on how a senator or house member on a government salary becomes a multi-millionaire. Healthcare reform and cap and trade, if passed, will be a burden on us all....

In a press release about his recent trip to Afghanistan, U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan asked the public for its views on American policy. Florida Veterans for Common Sense agrees with Buchanan that the Obama administration should consider all options for troop levels in Afghanistan. But our organization considers the recommendation of Gen. Stanley McChrystal to increase troop levels by 40,000 to be the worst option. We are extremely proud of our troops, and there is no doubt they are highly skilled and motivated. Yet, no matter how well our soldiers execute their orders, they cannot prevail if the mission is...

Letter and Petition to bring our troops home.

An insidious, treacherous, anti-military, anti-democracy and anti-capitalist organization called “Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America”, IAVA, is posing as a veteran’s aid and support group in an attempt to turn the last non-Leftist bastion of America into the Left’s mightiest arm of real force. logo They are dedicated to one mission, and one mission only: indoctrinate the average service member into a Leftist ideologue loyal to George Soros’ and Obama’s neo-Marxist revolution. Go to this link and scroll down to the bottom, and you will see the IAVA’s “report card” on politicians’ performance as supporters of the troops. John McCain...

Many of us would love to let those marching on DC know we're with them in spirit. Since we can't be there, but want President Obama and this Democrat majority Congress, to know there are millions of us out here, let's post our initials and city, state so they know there are millions more of us out here!

Has anyone noticed when they sign on to AOL, social networks or surf the net, there are banner ads touting "Obama wants to send you to college" or "Obama wants to lower your insurance". What is going on? It disturbs me that any politician would be elevated this way--especially when it puts him in the company of celebrity leaders like Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Castro and Chavez who were/are beloved leaders who promised to improve life for the believers at other people's expense. This isn't Obama paying for college or insurance, it's the taxpayers! It should be advertised as such: "Do...

The same young conservatives who put together February 27th's NYC Tea Party, are working hard to put together a bigger, better organized Tea Party on Tax Day. If you have a Tea Party planned in your state for April 15, go to link and submit your info. The April 15 NYC Tea Party location is still to be determined. There is another NYC Tea Party planned for Friday, March 13, 10 a.m. If you work in Manhattan--or can manage it, they are meeting at the Bull on Bowling Green, marching to NYSE, and making a point to stop in front...

This links to article with photos and video on the NYC Tea Party. I believe the number of people there was closer to 400. Amazing...considering it was very short notice and it IS NYC!
