NY Times Alarmed: Tea Party Reading Unapproved Texts
Thanks to Bud Bronstein for this piece by Kate Zernike from the NY Times, “Movement of the Moment Looks to Long-Ago Texts.” Catch the ideological presentism. Instead of just reading the latest approved tomes and today’s issue of the Times, people are learning from “obscure” old books by dead people. The Tea Party “has resurrected once-obscure [...]
What category do you fall into?
I think the problem is that most of the people in the tea party movement are not true believers in liberty. They are neo-con statist Republicans. They are also ignorant of the meanings of the words and quotes they use.Remember, I say all this as a founding member of the Orlando Tea Party and someone [...]
Nullification: Your State’s Duty
“When states pass laws to nullify unconstitutional mandates, it’s not rebellion, it’s duty.” Michael Boldin interviewed by Phil Russo and Jason Hoyt of Tea Party Patriots Live – 660AM WORL in Orlando – on July 24, 2010. See Michael in person in Ft Worth, Orlando, and Chattanooga. Phil Russo will be the MC for Nullify [...]
Free and Total Reign Over the States? Absolutely Not!
“The US are sovereign on their side of the line dividing jurisdictions, the States on the other. Each ought to have the power to demand their respective sovereignties.” Andrew Nappi, Florida State Coordinator of the Tenth Amendment Center speaking on the 10th Amendment, State Sovereignty, the Founders and Nullification, on April 17th, 2010.
Tea Party Crashers
From reading this article on the “crash the tea party” movement, http://www.commondreams.org/headline/2010/04/13-7 it seems obvious what Mr. Levin thinks about the population at large. It seems that he believes we all walk around wearing Nazi uniforms and spewing racial hatred. He can’t have been to a Tea Party rally before because he would have had [...]
What Do We Do About It?
Here’s video from my recent speech at the Palm Desert Tax Day Tea Party – April 15, 2010. Much of the crowd had never heard what I had to say, and I was glad to hear loads of positive feedback after the event… Part I: Part II:

Dick Armey Praises Hamilton, Inserts Foot in Mouth
In its ongoing attempt to take over the “tea party” movement the Republican Party recently dragged out Dick Armey, who promptly placed his right foot directly into his mouth by claiming that all those statist liberals out there do not support the ideas in The Federalist Papers. A member of the audience who I suspect [...]
Tenthers are Obstructionists!
First we were called racists, now we’re something else because we demand that the government follow the constitution – every issue, every time. No exceptions, no excuses. Brian Melendez, head of the DFL party in Minnesota, has this to say in a recent interview with MN public radio: “The tea party tends to identify themselves [...]
A “New” Declaration of Independence
This last Saturday, January 30, 2010, following a Saturday where our phone lines melted down when we asked a simple question; what Right’s have been taken from you or encroached upon by the Federal Government? While we weren’t surprised by the volume of calls, we were surprised about the specificity of the calls…people were VERY aware that [...]
Hypocrisy…No, not from the Tea Party
Got your attention! Here’s an interesting memo I obtained over at the Atlantic. freedom-works-internal-memo This memo, which hasn’t been validated, but is being reported on by Fox News, purports to provide a “Target List” of candidates for the Tea Party to presumably unseat in 2010. Listing them under the heading of “Enemy of Liberty” or “Potential Enemy of [...]
There Are Two Sides, Which One Are You On?
Forget everything you know about politics. Forget the age old story about the Democrats and the Republicans, where one side is good and the other side are a bunch of America hating vats of pure evil. Forget about the left vs right debate, forget about conservative vs liberal. At this stage in the game, there [...]
