"They make a rout about universal liberty, without considering that all that is to be valued, or indeed can be enjoyed by individuals, is private liberty." -- Dr. Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- "As the organized Left gained cultural power, it turned into a monster that found perpetual victimhood, combined with thought and speech control, the most efficient way to hold on to that power. Suddenly it was the Left, the protector of liberty, that was setting rules about what could and could not be said or even thought." -- Tammy Bruce (1962-) American radio host, author, and political commentator Source: The New Thought Police, 2001 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- "To take from one because it is thought that his own industry and that of his father's has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers have...

Just a quick note on what I heard in Obama's state of the union speech:  A whole lot of what the American people want to hear and nothing about what his real plans are, unless you are talking about his strict "sanctions" on Iran.  Heck, maybe he'll just give them the evil eye.  Maybe I am just sick of politics.  I did hear the words he said and noticed that there was spin.  Yes, even in the state of the union.  So much politicking, trying to force republicans to vote for his agenda, "because you can't just vote against everything".  It is as bad as when he claimed that the reason Massachussetts voted in a Republican on a platform of conservatism and smaller government was because the voters there were angry with the Bush Administration and wanted to send a message.  Is anyone even buying this anymore?  He is starting to believe he really is the second coming of Christ.  He really must. I cannot figure him out.  I really don't want t...

A CAPITALIST MANIFESTO On the 150th anniversary of the Communist Manifesto, Merrill Matthews Jr. and Morgan O. Reynolds of the Dallas-based National Center for Policy Analysis have drafted a similarly patterned Capitalist Manifesto -- defining the ramifications of private property rights and the right to contract. Here are the highlights of their program to end the welfare state and restore individual liberties: •Reaffirmation of the right of individuals to rent, sell or use their property however they peaceably choose, so long as they do not impinge on the rights of others. •A flat income tax set at the lowest rate compatible with fiscal restraint, and abolition of all inheritance taxes and restrictions. •A guarantee of the property rights of all immigrants and dissidents. •Withdrawal from the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank -- and abolition of all credit monopolies. Their manifesto also calls for restoration of market prerogatives by divestiture and dece...

February 11, 1988 Thank you very much. It's great to be here tonight, and I'm delighted to see so many old friends. And now let's get right to it. First, there's the INF treaty. How do you think I felt when Gorbachev called a week and a half ago and asked me if our first group of on-site inspectors could be the Denver Broncos' pass defense? (Laughter.) And then along came the House vote on Contra aid -- I felt so terrible, I nearly called Dan Reeves and John Elway to tell them what a rough week I'd had. But seriously, while the Denver Broncos are all terrific athletes and people, each one of us has to congratulate the Washington Redskins. Believe me, the House action on the Contra vote was a missed chance at a victory for peace in Central America. It's great to know there are some people in Washington who play to win. And believe me, I'll be getting back to that topic in a few minutes. By the way, something odd happened just before I got here tonig...

This was a real American who understood the responsibility of his office and the real role of government.  Things wer not perfect under him but it was 180 degrees from where we are now!  We need another Ronald Reagan!  This may be long, but it is worth watching again or for the first time if you never have seen it before. Ronald Reagan for President!

It IS time for a revolution in America! Thomas Jefferson, a true patriot, once stated in a letter, "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure." I do not sense that it is yet the time to take up arms and storm the capital. But I have never been so outraged by the acts of MY government. There is a shell game of epic proportions going on and there WILL be disastrous results. We may not be too late to right this ship. But the ship IS sinking. If we do not plug the holes, no matter how much water we bail out, the final outcome is eminent. Read , The Third Conservative Revolution for ideas on how we can once again force the conservative to be heard. But I say lets go one better. It is not only time for the politicians to work for the conservatives, it is time for them to BE conservatives. I call for a vetting. There needs to be no quarter for any politician who would sell his/her/our principles for any...

Dirty Secret No. 4 in Obamacare by Chuck Norris (more by this author) Flying under the radar this past week was a new government report that forecasts that the national debt will double over the next decade. The White House has projected a cumulative $9 trillion deficit between 2010 and 2019, while the Congressional Budget Office estimates a more optimistic $7.1 trillion, based upon the expiration of Bush tax cuts. What this means is that Washington's out-of-control spending likely will turn the nation's already-staggering $11 trillion in debt into an astronomical $20 trillion. But there are at least two ginormous expenses that are excluded in these projections. First, the projections from both the White House and CBO incorporate their belief that the deficit will decline quickly over the next three years, as they assume fewer bailouts are needed and the economy will grow rapidly. But isn't there also the real possibility that the economy will not recover as quickly as ...

I don't know about anyone else, but I have just about had it with those who are at the political head of this country! When I was first able to vote, I voted for George Bush. Not "W", but his father. After watching Reagan for 8 years I was excited to carry on where he was leaving off. I have never before wavered in my support given to the republican party. I knew that deep conservative principles was where my loyalties should lie. Where have those principle gone? Believe it or not, I have become wiser the older I have become. As Reagan said, Trust but Verify! I have been trusting "republicans" with MY government without really verifying what they stood for or where they stood on the issues. Obviously McCain was not a conservative. And yet I voted for him. What was I thinking? I was selling my country down the river for a lesser of two evils. I know I am not alone. Flashback: I have a very wise cousin. He advised me during "W's" re-...

So, like many of you I have wished for someone as well spoken and as truly conservative to the core as Reagan was. What I would give to hear Ronald Reagan today speaking against what is going on in our government. Oh wait.......watch this.....we CAN hear what Reagan had to say on this subject and on socialism in general. Take heed, this advice is what everyone needs to hear today......there is not anything outdated other than the costs. Thank you President Reagan, we are ever hopeful that we as patriotic and conservative Americans can take back this country before it is completely run into the ground. But if we cannot, we will raise our great banner up out of the ashes upon the blood of patriots and tyrants if need be. That is all

When this nation was struggling with how to stand strong in the world shortly after earning it's freedom at the cost of much blood and sacrifice, there were many differing ideas on how to do this. First of all, each of the thirteen colonies was a sovereign nation in and unto itself. But it was only through banding together for the cause of freedom that they were able to secure that right for themselves and hopefully their posterity. What was the single greatest fear of the founding fathers? It was that the individual colonies, now states, would lose the ability to take care of their own and that someone else, heck, anyone else might try and take some of their rights away. So many many bright men hatched together a constitution. This was a constitution declaring the natural rights that belong to all men. They then painstakingly went through each part of each type of government that had existed on the earth till then and came up with our Nations Constitution. It simply acknowledg...

Dear Fellow Conservative: Well, the "first 100 days" of the new Obama administration are over -- and already he is well on his way to "remaking" America, as he promised to do during his campaign. Not "restore," mind you. Not "rebuild." "Re make " -- as in, turning America into something it wasn't before. And if we allow him and his fellow Democrats to continue along this path, the country you and I know and love will simply no longer exist. Everything we conservatives have fought to defend and preserve will have been lost. In its place will be a country we scarcely recognize. What will it look like? Let me give you a glimpse... During his campaign, Barack Obama often spoke of his desire to "remake" America, to be a "transformational" President. Transforming it. And over the next few months, President Obama and the Democrats in Congress plan to deliver on that promise. Under color of "solv...

------by Chuck norris-------A true American Patriot! A couple of weeks ago, Somali pirates hijacked a cargo ship with 20 American crew members on board. Thank God and the Navy SEALs that they all got out alive. But will Americans be as lucky next time?During 2008 alone, these thugs raided more than 130 vessels, resulting in 50 successful hijackings and millions of dollars paid in ransoms. With at least five well-organized pirate gangs off the Horn of Africa -- including the al-Shabab militia, which is a group of Islamic extremists that some people compare to the Taliban -- all seeking and splitting the spoils of these sea traders, isn't it time America better protects our merchant mariners in volatile areas, such as off the Somali coast? Isn't it time they are armed with better deterrents than fire hoses, rubber bullets and sonic weapons? Isn't it time our Navy SEALs reach land and cut pirates off at the pass? Ransoms only enable these hooligans. And negotiations never work...

Yes, Arizona is alive and well. Something about being around thousands of like minded patriots that really invigorates me. Americans of ALL ages were present and accounted for. It is our children and grandchildren who are really saddled with all this debt after all. Because of the layoff last month, I find myself working several lower paying jobs to try and make ends meet. So I was not able to show up to the event until right about 6:00pm. I have to say that as I was driving past the crowds already gathered on sidewalks and holding signs on corners, I got chills right down my spine. I was pleased to see that Ronald Wilson Reagan was represented. I believe in what he said when he stated that government is not the answer, govt. is the problem. We need to shrink Govt., not grow it! I had an awesome conversation with this lady. She said that she does not like to label herself as anything but an American but feels betrayed by the media and being exploited by Obama for political gain. We ar...

The following is a stump speech for Barry Goldwater given by Ronald Wilson Reagan in 1964. It still gives me goosebumps. Who will be the Reagan of OUR day? Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you and good evening. The sponsor has been identified, but unlike most television programs, the performer hasn't been provided with a script. As a matter of fact, I have been permitted to choose my own words and discuss my own ideas regarding the choice that we face in the next few weeks. I have spent most of my life as a Democrat. I recently have seen fit to follow another course. I believe that the issues confronting us cross party lines. Now, one side in this campaign has been telling us that the issues of this election are the maintenance of peace and prosperity. The line has been used, "We've never had it so good." But I have an uncomfortable feeling that this prosperity isn't something on which we can base our hopes for the future. No nation in history has ever surviv...
