Gather Your Armies
Rick Barber, an Alabama Republican and candidate for Congress, has forced a runoff for the Republican nomination. The runoff is being held on Tuesday, July 13, and I strongly suggest that all Alabamans show up to the polls and exercise their American right to participate in their own governance. It’s our own form of participatory … Continue reading
I Apologize, But Only If You Take Offense
I am confused. And outraged. Mainly outraged, and then confused. South Carolina State Senator John M. “Jake” Knotts Jr. (whew!) said last Thursday on a local radio show: “We already got one raghead in the White House — we don’t need another in the governor’s mansion … She’s a raghead that’s ashamed of her religion … Continue reading
America: Speak Out!
I don’t have to tell you that democrats are out of touch with everyday Americans. They couldn’t care less what you think, because they already think they know what’s best for you. House Republicans, on the other hand, really care. They care so much that they’ve made a website dedicated to letting normal Americans suggest … Continue reading
It’s a State’s Right
Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell recently courted a little controversy when he issued a proclamation which declared April to be ‘Confederate History Month’. From the original proclamation: WHEREAS, April is the month in which the people of Virginia joined the Confederate States of America in a four year war between the states for independence that concluded … Continue reading
Vintage Bachmann
This last weekend I was doing some research on Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R-MN). More specifically, on her roots in the philosophy of the Tea Party. While searching, I ran across some old footage of her from a GOP Candidate forum in November 2005, and it was stellar. She was answering a question about rioting in … Continue reading
The Hand Has Spoken
I’m increasingly reading the moon-bat online ravings of the unmedicated left. It’s not only entertaining, but it’s good to keep an eye on them. One recent post on Athensboy’s Blog piqued my interest. He reports that last year Glenn Beck made $32 million dollars. Thirty-two million dollars. To put that in perspective, that’s as if … Continue reading
Supremely Qualified
Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens announced today that he is retiring, as of the end of this term. At that time he will be 90 years old, having served on the Court for the last 35 years. Sad to say, he has long out-served his relevance on the Court. When Stevens was nominated by … Continue reading
ACORN? Or HYDRA?
Well, I knew that it was too good to be true. ACORN, recently disbanded after numerous scandals, has not gone gentle into that good night. Rep. Issa (R-CA) has revealed that ACORN is still (essentially) in existence. Rather than being one monolithic ‘community organization‘ named ACORN, it operates now as numerous smaller local cells, under … Continue reading
Turning Out ACORN
The ‘community organization’ known as ACORN (Association for Communist Organization and Redistribution Now!) is no more. It announced recently that it would be closing all state affiliates and field offices by April 1, 2010. This is incredibly exciting news, but I haven’t spoken of it until now because I was waiting to see if it … Continue reading

2010 Texas State Republican Party Platform
Posted by ThomPaine on June 23, 2010 · 3 Comments
The Texas Republican Party has approved their 2010 platform, and I think that it might be better than the new school standards. This is a long post, but there is so much good stuff. A few choice excerpts: The embodiment of the conservative dream in America is Texas. We further support abolition of federal agencies … Continue reading →
