To hear most liberals and left-wing media pundits describe the Tea Party movement, one would think the Third Reich has been resurrected in America. In reality, this anti-big government movement made up of mostly non-registered Republicans and Independents is exactly the right prescription for the 2012 election cycle. (more)

On Wednesday, President Barack Obama signed a $1.25 billion check to black farmers who have allegedly been victims of past wrongdoings by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).

As the debate over whether or not to extend all or part of the Bush-era tax cuts comes to an end and a vote is taken, left-wing media outlets along with Obama and leading Democrats are calling for a unanimous, hand-holding rendition of kumbaya. Ironically, this newfound attitude of benevolent affection comes about a month after the president referred to Republicans as “the enemy” and said that his opponents should sit in the back seat. (more)

In a perfect world, free speech would be reserved for the federal government and elitists who are exempt from regulatory mandates, according to West Virginia Senator Jay Rockefeller. Apparently, he feels that political discourse in America has run amok because of the opinionated programming that appears on Fox News and MSNBC. (more)

In the days and hours leading up to last week’s midterm elections, political leaders from both parties earnestly debated the extent to which Republicans and Democrats would be able to work together in the new Congress. And, predictably, Democrats began telling their GOP counterparts that it was time to stop the partisanship and work together. (more)

According to mainstream media outlets such as ABC, CBS and NBC, voters who are outraged at the nation’s current out-of control spending and ever-growing debt are just too dumb to understand the vast intelligence of Obama and his Washington economic team. (more)

Since our nation’s inception, faith and politics have been intertwined. Debate has often centered on which side of the aisle is right or wrong in the eyes of God. In 2004, Christians turned out to vote as issues such as homosexual marriage, partial-birth abortion, stem-cell research and gun rights took center stage. However, the last two election cycles have shown that a lack of attention towards certain issues can stifle the Christian turnout. (more)

In the days leading up to and on the morning of the “Restoring Honor” rally, it was ring-around the liberal networks as every left-leaning news outlet from CBS to MSNBC attempted to paint Glenn Beck’s gathering as “controversial and political.” (more)

During the 2008 election cycle, Fox News personality Sean Hannity proclaimed journalism to be dead. As each day passes, the overwhelming evidence and recent polling data clearly prove that assessment to be correct. However, many could argue the industry had lost its so-called objective news coverage decades prior. (more)

When news first broke that The Daily Caller had obtained documents and other such evidence asserting that a left-wing journalist listserv had plotted to cover up controversial stories revolving around then candidate Barack Obama’s pastor, as well conspire to destroy the lives of anyone who opposes their agenda, most Americans probably shrugged it off realizing this is simply old news. (more)

The latest hearsay circling the politico rumor mill is that former Alaska governor Sarah Palin could be the perfect fit as the next chairwoman of the Republican Party. She does have an ability to raise money, as well as sellout venues. Plus she is the author of a nationally known bestselling book and has an enormous loyal following, particularly among Tea Party faithful. However, are those kinds of credentials enough to qualify her to succeed Michael Steele? (more)

Apparently, New York Times liberal bomb thrower Charles Blow finds it odd that President Obama’s poll numbers are in the gutter, along with his overall ratings of the recent health care overhaul. (more)
