I love Billy Joel’s music. So when I heard that Eduardo Saverin, co-founder of Facebook, renounced his US citizenship in order to get around paying taxes on his income from Facebook’s IPO I immediately thought of Billy Joel’s song “I’m Moving Out”. To see the entire song’s lyrics, go here, but I want to show you one stanza to drive a point home: You should | Read More »
Thanks to the likes of Coldwarrior, Loren Heal, et al. we are reminded that we should all be elected Precinct Committeemen and familiarize and utilize GOTV efforts for our chosen conservative and Republican candidates. Both jobs or roles are vitally important and are sorely underappreciated at the national, state and local levels of the GOP. However, it occurred to me that we have been forgetting | Read More »
Much has been made online and within the MSM about the conservative vs liberal (and moderate) wings/candidates of the Republican party during this Presidential GOP primary election. On one side – the liberal or Massachusetts Moderate – we have Mitt Romney. On the other side, we have the rest trying to pit themselves as the poster child for conservatism (and the word “conservative” seems to | Read More »
Something has been eating at me recently so much that I started to it get off my chest on Twitter the other night and that hopefully I’ll finish here – Republicans and conservatives destroying our candidates while completely ignoring Mitt Romney. I also felt compelled to words from the justinhart front page selection where he wrote: Romney has held consistent conservative values for years now. | Read More »
This past week, the Illinois GOP has been running their online straw poll to determine who the Illinois Republican voters like in the GOP primary for President. Yesterday, November 5th, the Illinois GOP also had multiple locations in Illinois where people could walk in and vote in the straw poll as well. To cast a ballot, a voter only had to provide a minimum $5 | Read More »
I don’t know why I am wasting my time even writing a retort to another lefty’s claim that the Tea Party is over, but here we go…. In the August 7th Chicago Tribune, Clarence Page asks the question “Is the tea party over?‘. Towards the end of his article, he quotes Edmond Burke – father of conservatism – to help try to prove his argument. | Read More »
I just love Coldwarrior’s AP News spoof of what the future could be: Republican Party and Democrat Party leaders, and incumbent U.S. House and Senate incumbents, as well as state legislators and governors, have expressed serious concern regarding the surge in attendance by grass roots “tea partiers” and “9.12-er’s” and other members of grass roots conservative organizations at their respective local Republican Party committee meetings. | Read More »
I just read Kathleen Parker’s editorial at the Washington Post site. She writes the Tea Party conservatives in Congress are: ” the most destructive posse of misguided “patriots” we’ve seen in recent memory.” Teri O’Brien, conservative talk-show host/blogger, states at Illinois Review that the Tea Party is President Obama’s new BFF (Best Friends Forever) and is already laying the blame for Obama’s re-election at the | Read More »
Winston Churchill is one of my favorite people in history and one of my favorite statesmen. He was always quick with a quote. For instance, when talking about socialism he said, Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. So true. But another quote of his I believe can | Read More »
Guess what. Both sides are blowing smoke up your you-know-what. Yes, you read that right. President Obama wants to be seen as a spender (to his leftist friends) and a cutter (to the independents that he has lost approval ratings to) at the same time. Obama uses his class warfare arguments of soaking the rich to save the Democrats’ pet programs. Obama threatens to stop | Read More »
