It's been a while, but the news this morning is sweet #tcot #tlot #tpot #teaparty

Good Morning Everyone!

Boy, is it hard to manage a blog when life and working gets in the way! That's probably why you see more liberal blogs than anything. Pelosi should have plenty of time to write as she has a lot less work on her hands now (and Thank God!)

Talk about big wins last night. Congrats to every single Conservative out there. Looks like we got some Blue Dog's out there too in control (read: Manchin).

Honestly though, America and our dedicated readers. Do you really think any liberal is going to take a stand behind Obama? Remember, there are seats up for grabs in 2012 too. Along with the big bosses job.

So tell us, what win impressed you the most? Comment or mention us on Twitter. My personal favorite win was Rand Paul. Its a sign the Tea Party (even though he wears an R), is a force to be reckoned with; and thats a beautiful thing.


Big congrats to Georgia winners Jason Spencer and Nathan Deal! (would have preferred a Ray McBerry win though).

Reagan's Farewell Speech...Thoughts?

Honestly, this is the last true leader we had.

"Man is not free unless government is limited"

"As government expands, liberty contracts"

"Informed patriotism is what we want. Are we doing a good enough job teaching our children what America is, and what she represents in the long history of the world?"

Smile a little today, patriots. Enjoy Ronald Reagan's humor

Feeling a little light-hearted.

Check out our new layout!

Hey everyone, if you're reading this, you're probably noticing our new duds. Take a look around! Same great reads and views!

Enjoy!

I burned a flag today

An old flag blew into my friends yard. We caught it, and followed proper flag disposal procedures.

My friend (a public servant himself), noted that even if we hadn't followed the ceremony correctly, we'd still be treating our Stars and Stripes better than the government is.

Its not about an R or D next to your name, what platform you "should" follow. Its about being an American and not letting your government take control of your life.

Government Motors, ObamaCare, bailouts (aka handouts), and numerous other violations leave me stupefied. I forgot to mention my personal favorite, bailing out other countries as we're drowning!

When will America wake up? When will the sheep realize whats happening? Has no one seen V for Vendetta? or modern day Europe?

Some say America has only bastardized its culture from other cultures. I wouldn't call it bastardize. I'd say we took the best of each person who brings something valuable to the table and it became American. We are a unique culture. A free people, at one time, the freest to ever walk the Earth.

How free do you feel now?

RNC Chair Calls Obama Plan Socialism

http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/usnews/health-care/1468


I guess they can't play the race card on this one!

Michael Steele, chairman of the Republican National Committee, spoke on July 20 at the National Press Club. AP reported the same day that when Steele was asked if President Barack Obama’s plan for healthcare reform represented socialism, Steele answered: “Yes. Next question.”

Steele didn’t pull any punches as he verbally worked over President Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), and Chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee Henry Waxman (D-Calif.). “Obama-Pelosi want to start building a colossal, closed health care system where Washington decides,” Steele said. “Republicans want and support an open health care system where patients and doctors make the decisions.” He added that “many Democrats outside of the Obama-Pelosi-Reid-Waxman cabal know that voters won't stand for these kinds of foolish prescriptions for our health care. We do too. That's why Republicans will stop at nothing to remind voters about the risky experimentation going on in Washington.”

In order to reinforce Steele’s theme of government experimentation with taxpayer money, the Republican Party will sponsor a television ad opposing government-run healthcare. The 30-second spot is called “Grand Experiment” and will start running on July 20 in select markets in Arkansas, Nevada and North Dakota.

While the video can be seen directly below this paragraph, factual information supporting the ad can be found at the GOP website. The Congressional Budget Office, various news sources, and industry experts are all quoted there, making the case against Obama’s reform plans much more compelling than the TV ad alone. Also related is a separate GOP website about “The Obama Experiment,” which currently features the TV ad and what looks to be a transcript of Steele’s remarks at the National Press Club. The site is worth a visit.

President Barack Obama slaps back at health care critics at hospital

DAILY NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU

WASHINGTON - President Obama opened fire at "political" opponents of health care reform Monday, ripping a Republican senator who predicted the commander in chief is facing his "Waterloo."

Speaking to conservatives late last week, Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) declared if conservatives can stall until Congress goes on vacation for most of August, health care reform - and Obama - will be dead in the water.

"If we're able to stop Obama on this it will be his Waterloo," DeMint said. "It will break him."

Obama recycled that line Monday at a Washington children's hospital, holding it up as an example of opponents putting partisanship before public health.

"This isn't about me. This isn't about politics," Obama said. "This is about a health care system that is breaking America's families, breaking America's businesses and breaking America's economy."

Republicans say the health care proposals working through Congress will raise taxes on small businesses, kill jobs and create a government-run, rationed medical system.

Obama argues exactly the opposite and claims the system is already rationing care, killing jobs and hurting business.

"Over the past decade, premiums have doubled in America; out-of-pocket costs have shot up by a third; deductibles have continued to climb," he said, adding that it's "special interests" like insurance companies and executives that "have reaped windfall profits."

The escalating rhetoric came as an ABC News/Washington Post poll found the country getting worried about health reform, with just 49% trusting Obama on the issue. That's down from an earlier high of 57%.

Obama himself remains popular, with a 59% approval rating.

But Republicans smell blood in the health care waters, and DeMint was quick to fire back at Obama, linking his health care push to the economic stimulus, which is becoming less and less popular.

"The last time the President made grand promises and demanded passage of a bill before it could be reviewed, we ended up with the colossal stimulus failure and unemployment near 10%," DeMint said.

"Now the President wants Americans to trust him again, but he can't back up the utopian promises he's making," DeMint added, contending the GOP just wants to go slow to get it right.

"There is no one in this debate advocating that we do nothing despite the President's constant straw man arguments," he said.

Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele echoed DeMint, but declined to say if there was a moral component to covering 46 million uninsured Americans, suggesting it is about politics.

"I don't know if that's a consideration for politicians, versus a pastor," Steele said. "What I do know is that it is important and imperative that the politicians, the political leadership, get it right."

The House of Representatives has released its version of the plan, but the Senate has only done half of its - with the half that pays for reform still on the operating table of the Senate Finance Committee.

With time running short, the White House has softened its position that health care must be done before Congress goes on vacation next month.

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said it can still get done by then, and Obama put some teeth in that. "We can't afford the politics of delay and defeat when it comes to health care," he said. "Not this time. Not now."

Conservatives Disappointed over Sotomayer Answers about 2nd amendment

How did she strike out?

First, Judge Sotomayor ruled in United States v. Sanchez-Villar (2004) that “the right to possess a gun is clearly NOT a fundamental right.”

Second, this year, Sotomayor was part of a three-judge panel which ruled in Maloney v. Cuomo that the Second Amendment does NOT apply to the states.

But finally, Judge Sotomayor struck out as qualified to be a Supreme Court Justice when she was asked by Senator Tom Coburn if there was a right to self-defense.

Judge Sotomayor said that was an “abstract question.” Sotomayor would NOT answer directly, although when pressed, she equated self-defense with vigilantism!

It is completely unacceptable for the Senate to confirm a judge to the U.S. Supreme Court who does not believe in the rights that are EXPLICITLY stated in the Bill of Rights?

Concealed Carry Over State Lines Coming?

I hope it isn't plagrism, but I'm giving credit to the original author, but I agree with this outlook. It is truly an unmovable force hitting an unstoppable object. States Rights, or 2nd Amendment on a Federal level?

Concealed Carry Over State Lines Coming?


The Washington Post reports a glimmer of hope for 2nd amendment supporters this week, as several moderate Democrats may be lining up with the GOP to back a provision which would ensure the rights of gun owners in states with permissive laws when they travel across state lines.

Senate Democrats are scrambling to defeat a Republican-backed provision that would allow gun owners to carry their weapons across state lines, overriding the stricter laws of many jurisdictions and giving preference to states with looser standards.

Critics, including police organizations, big-city mayors and gun-victims groups, decried the legislation as creating “a new national lowest common denominator” for ownership of firearms. But twice this year, Republicans have succeeded in rolling back restrictions on guns with substantial backing from moderate Democrats, many newly elected from Western states with strong Second Amendment traditions.

I will confess that, even as an avid supporter of gun rights, this approach gives me pause. It’s one of those cases of two perfectly valid arguments running head to head against each other. The individual states need to be able to determine their own affairs as much as possible, but the Doctrine of Incorporation has been frustrating us for so long that it can drive one to desperation. Second amendment rights most certainly should, in my never very humble opinion, be considered fundamental rights which all states have to recognize. From that perspective, allowing owners to have their rights “travel with them” while on the road is an attractive idea.

On the other hand, the law is the law, and just because you can carry your weapon into a bar in Texas doesn’t mean that you should be able to drive to New York City, sit down in a bar and order a beer with your 9mm in your pocket. I realize this proposal is more for the person who is on the road and in the process of traveling, but questions such as that are inevitable and come along as part of the discussion.

The political ramifications may be far more interesting, though. A number of junior Democrats, as noted in the article, are getting increasingly nervous as 2010 approaches and the popularity of both the Obama administration and the Democratic majority’s domestic agenda continue to slide. In western states, voting against something like this could be the final straw on the camel’s back which sends their seat back to the Republicans.

I believe I would like to see such a proposal put in place, challenged in the courts and sent up the line for a final resolution. It might clarify things a bit more for us in the future.

Why are there 500,000 coffins by an airport in Georgia? #news

There are 500,000 coffins stacked outside of a airport in Georgia, and word on the street is, they are all over the country.

This may be old news to some of you, but I've been aware of this for about a year. Actually, a little over a year now. There are 500,000 "polyguard vaults" ordered by DHS and FEMA, sitting not too far from CDC HQ in Atlanta. Also, closely in relation to an airport and major interstates.

Sounds a little convinient if you ask me. What do you think? Share your thoughts on twitter or in the comments below. All intelligent views enjoyed!

GPS co-ordinates 40 feet from every American door via Census by ACORN

Why is it this year, for the first time in history, the Census is being run by the White House Chief of Staff? Sounds a little fishy, doesn't it?

Even moreso is the fact that Nobama, ACORN, Rahm, and ole Robert Groves want to have GPS coordinate 40 feet from your door

Now, flashback, that this administration already thinks those who own guns, Bibles, or vote Republican should be cautioned as "extremists".

GPS painting, people. Look it up, wake up, and read. Next blog post may shock you, 500,000 times more than you may expect.

Groves' appointment as Census Chief only helps Liberals and Obamaessiah

On the surface, Groves has been assigned a straightforward task: count every person living in these United States in 2010. Funny, what an important year that is, and in 2 years, when Obamaessiah plans to run for President again, should our country even last that long.

He seems like an average government know-nothing from the outside, but his past shows far more stupidity than one could imagine (guess working with ACORN will be easy).

in '90, GHWB asked him to lead up the Census, which of course he took in stride. Except for the fact that he was all for calculated numbers to fill in the blanks. He devised statistics that utilized "fuzzy math" when it came to illegals and homeless Americans...greatly benefitting the Democrats.

the Commerce Department wanted nothing of it, when, using his model, determined would add over 5 million Americans to the census -- quite a big gap, and more than enough to swing an election (or two, or three, or four, on any level).

Now with the current tyrants in office, they've stated they don't want African-Americans and Hispanics to be "disenfranchised" (read: legally counted correctly), this puts even more stress on our already controversy filled census.

I end this post with how I end many. WAKE UP AMERICA! PLEASE! Call your Congresspeople and tell them you're tired of it. Better yet FIGHT BACK.

2010 may be out last chance, before redistricting and forced affirmitive action take this country down to the bottom of hell.

Sotomayer: Pseudo-Patriot, Quasi-American

"I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life."

"Personal experiences affect the facts that judges choose to see."

" With my academic achievement in high school I was accepted rather readily at Princeton and equally as fast at Yale, but my test scores were not comparable to that of my classmates. And that's been shown by statistics, there are reasons for that - there are cultural biases built into testing, and that was one of the motivations for the concept of affirmative action to try to balance out those effects. "


Who mouthed off these wonders? Why, Sonia Sotomayer, NoBama's big push for the SCOTUS. Who else would you expect the tyrant to pick? None other than one just as racist as his wife and as deceitful as himself.

Here we are, looking down the barrel of someone as anti-2nd amendment, anti-equality, and anti-American as possible. She will seem to be "standing on the shoulders of her people" and claims she is "an ordinary woman with extraordinary oppurtunities", but let's cut the chase. She's a crook, whose had more cases overturned than you can flip a hat at.

She said white firefighters weren't being discriminated against when they were told they weren't hired because they were white. Talk about reverse racism, if it was "her people" as she called her race, then this case would be totally different.

Case in point, call your Congressmen/women. Raise hell. If they appoint her, fire them.

Bringing me back to the latest issue: FIRE CONGRESS IN 2010! Let's put some fire under our "lawmakers" and get some patriots in office!

Your security is not worth the loss of liberty.

"Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety deserve neither Liberty nor Safety" - Ben Franklin (not Thomas Jefferson, who clearly stated it was Ben who made the quote originally)

As "liberalism" becomes the latest fad, more and more folks are looking to the government for unemployment, welfare, and protection from tyranny. We need to realize that unemployment and the need for welfare are at the fault of the government. We also need to realize that tyranny is at our door.

This is how it begins. Germany. Russia. China. There becomes an "unknown enemy". Can anyone show me an Al-Qaeda uniform? . Then its disarming us for our own safety. Who seriously considers the fact that a criminal who possesses a firearm will think about gun control laws when he commits a crime? Yeah, he will kick in the door with a smile, knowing that an honest citizen is unarmed inside.

Aside from criminals, the 2nd amendment wasn't designed for hunting or crime stopping. It was designed to stop oppression. The people armed are a people free of tyranny.

“Arms in the hands of individual citizens may be used at individual discretion in private self-defense.”
John Adams


Those who think that allowing the government to control ever aspect of your lives, remember this:

"A government big enough to supply you with everything you need, is a government big enough to take away everything that you have...."

While most think this was attributed to Jefferson, it's actually former President Gerald R. Ford who made this statement in 1974 before Congress

We don't need a new party -- we need new politicians!

The current argument is "we need a new party". I suppose that's the fad when two parties aren't going the way the people want them to.

Why add another bunch of crooks to the mix? We've got good folks in each party that care about liberty, freedom, and the rights of the states and their people.

Let's use what we got. Let's fire Senate, and House, and start over. Get our minds around real candidates. Ray McBerry is a good example. So is Ron Paul, and anyone else that respects the power of the people through thought instead of handouts. Politicians who are concerned with the problems of the State and its citizens instead of shaking hands with those out to destroy us.

Ronald Reagan connected with the people with straight talk and a straight shooting attitude. As has McBerry and Paul, who are both having excellent grassroots campaigns brewing.

Get McBerry in GA. Paul out of Texas and into the White House, and we'll be able to start moving towards the goal of freedom, liberty, and a sound financial system, economy. Throw in national security and not being walked on by repeated missile tests.

Once again....wake up, folks! Let's motivate our friends, family, colleagues, and ourselves!

NRA: Made in China (why i'm not renewing my membership) @nranews @nraila (PLS RT)

If you just want your jaw to drop before reading this, scroll to the bottom for pictures. Otherwise, read on for another look at how our country is crumbling from within, thanks to soulless entities like the National Rifle Association.

So I received a complimentary hat for my yearly NRA membership.

I opened it up, and it looked well enough. Nice American flag on the side, proudly displaying the NRA on the front and back, it made me feel like there maybe were just a few more smart Conservative minds out there.

That is until I looked under the brim, and a label proudly displaying in bold "MADE IN CHINA"

I am speechless. A "foundation" that proudly proclaims its defense of "American Values" such as the 2nd Amendment sees nothing wrong in exporting manufacturing of its hats to China, with American flags on them to further spit on our country more.

I attempted several times to contact the NRA, via Twitter, e-mail, and written correspondence, and never received a response.

I won't be renewing my membership. Neither will the ~10 folks I've discussed the issue with. Hopefully they'll each touch one friend, and word will spread that the NRA is just as guilty as Obama, Barney Frank, and the rest of them.

It may seem silly to compare them, but this kind of disrespect for your own values, morality, and country calls you into question, National Rifle Association. You should be ashamed of yourself.

I'm currently in the process of contact several celebrity's who proudly proclaim their NRA status such as Charlie Daniels, Ted Nugent, and Tom Selleck. You should too.

Iranian's fight like I wish AMERICANS would!

People in this world are standing up against oppression.

People in this world are using their rights as free (or who want to be free) people.

People in this world are telling their leaders they're tired of the way things are going.

Sadly, these people are not in the United States.

Across the globe, people are uniting behind the people of Iran, while they are working to to drive the "CHANGE" they desire. They didn't "HOPE", they "TOOK ACTION".

Why don't we? When will we say we've had enough? Who draws the line in the sand?

These are questions I pose to all of you, each of you who read, tweet, write, blog, et cetera.

When do these end, and holding our leaders accountable begin?

Only Ray McBerry (@GeorgiaFirst) can tame an "Oxe"

John Oxendine is running for Georgia governor in 2010. I will not bash him as a person, because I'm unaware of anything he's done that lacks morals. However comma:

I have personally attempted to use his department (GA Department of Insurance). Its a joke, a waste of time, and so full of red tape it isn't even funny. I've filed several complaints about my brokerage to his department, only to have incompetence run rampant inside of my issue.

They've actually made my issue worse.

However, Ray McBerry is coming to the plate, and he has my 100%. I am currently trying to make headway in joining the campaign team, and will hopefully be able to assist in any way I can.


People will vote (or will want to vote) for Oxendine simply because of his name and he's already in an appointed office -- don't you see where that already got us on the national platform?

Do we really want another Atlanta-minded person in office? Do we NEED another Atlanta-minded person in office? My answer is no.

Let's get Atlanta out of the rest of the state!

Check out Ray on twitter (@GeorgiaFirst). He's got SGAFF's vote!
