Texas GOP Vote

A few years ago, a Democrat friend of my children told me that he would be more willing to vote Republican if they would just simply forget about those social issues. In 2009, the Tea Party movement arrived from the grassroots doing just that. All those Democrats who complained that Republicans should just talk economics and forget the social issues, how did they treat this grassroots movement? With the disdain they often reserveded for social conservatives Even today, the Tea Party is equated with extremism. Any opposition to the leftist hegemony will not be tolerated and must be destroyed.   Read more »

Two prominent Occupy Wall Street movement activists have been arrested by law enforcement for allegedly possessing a cache of weapons and explosive material in New York City’s Greenwich Village.

The Occupiers, Morgan Gliedman, 27, and Aaron Greene, 31, were visited by New York City police in due to a warrant for Gliedman over credit card theft.

For the past year, I have talked of the Wisconsin Strategy which was simply the left attempting to make governing impossible for conservative governors. When Governor Scott Walker actually decided to fulfill his campaign promises to balance the budget, keep taxes in line and reform the public union's hold on the state purses, the Democratic left engaged in a strategy to prevent Walker from governing.

CPAC-12 was an experience I won’t soon forget. Just being among 10,000 people was incredible. I must say that being sick on Friday did dampen my spirits a little, but luckily I was able to watch Saturday’s program on CSPAN.

The fact that she did not isn’t because Governor Palin herself is divisive, but because we Conservatives are a cantankerous and factious bunch who tend to eat our own and fight over degrees of commitment to the principles we hold dear.   Read more »

An AP story in the online USA Today described the efforts of American museums and collectors----The Smithsonian Institute, the Museum of the City of New York, the Museum of Jewish Heritage in lower Manhattan, the Queens College and more---to amass artifacts and electronic records about the Occupiers.

The formal statement from the Smithsonian explaining their intrigue with the Occupiers also acknowledged

I had an interesting conversation with an acquaintance a couple of weeks ago. This individual is a conservative East Texan. Unfortunately, this individual, like many other individuals (including conservatives), has fallen into the trap of believing everything he sees on the news instead of looking into the facts.

Big Hollywood's John Nolte has been a busy fellow, updating and trying to keep up with various acts of violence and other disgusting behavior among the Occupy movement, which is starting to peter out. Most recently, one letter to the Hollywood Republican wrote about what a bunch of peaceful folks the LA occupiers were and what kind of fools we were to be opposed to such peaceful demonstration.

New York is two cities, one run by bureaucrats who are slowly strangling the life of the city and the 99 percent no one talks about and the producers responsible for keeping the city alive.
