In case State-run CNN wonders why they are losing their audience, a picture speaks a thousand words. Their deception and biased reporting has them in last place where they belong. CNN reported "dozens" attended the Searchlight, NV Tea Party Rally where Sarah Palin spoke.
Dozens attend Searchlight Tea Party Rally? Really?
Once again the Tea Party makes national headlines.
And once again the message (government overspending) is overshadowed by the messeger (Ann Coulter).
I'm not knocking Ann - she's politically to the right of me, but I enjoy reading her columns *because* I don't always agree. I think she is intelligent, acerbic, pointed - and an even worse publicist for the Tea Party than Sarah Palin.
And that's saying something!
She exemplifies the Left point-of-view that the Tea Party is an ignorable whacky fringe Republican thing. Which is odd - the Republicans have been spending like drunken sailors on shore leave for years, and they're only now getting in bed with the Tea Party because they're both anti-Obama.
If the Tea Party wants political traction, they'll need some Dem support too.

After your income information had arrived from your employer and you placed it in the drawer, after all April 15 was months away.
Many of the Americans that have lost their job didn't realize that their unemployment payments are taxable until they filled-out their Federal income tax returns.
The big corporations are still firing workers to boost their earnings even as their stock prices are at the highest level that they have been since the market low in March 2009.

In the face of this Global Warming farce, don't forget to turn all your lights ON tonight at 8:30, as we did last year. Think where we were one year ago tonight -- still pretty new to what was about to happen. Before all the TEA Party rallys, before all the townhalls, before the 912 March on DC, and before witnessing the corruption going on behind closed doors in our government. Boy, are we a different country today.
MY OWN "EARTH HOUR"
“Americans were at war with themselves,” it observed, “and both sides lost.”
Indeed, national accord had been ruptured.
No one wants to see that happen again, but that’s the kind of antagonism spreading across the land today, a bitter divide created not only by the merits of Obamacare, but by the bureaucratic heavy-handedness that jammed it down the throats of a populace whose questions had not been answered and whose fears had not been allayed.
It was Washington telling us, “Government knows best,” and if there’s anything we know for sure, regardless of which party holds office, it’s that government can screw up a two-car funeral.
That’s why, in his first inaugural address, Ronald Reagan drew thunderous applause in proclaiming, “Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.”
All these years later, thanks to a passionate civics teacher named Belle Strickland, this writer can quote such fundamental principles as, “Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”
Yet Barack Obama exhibits disdain for those he governs.
Accustomed to the hosannas of fawning admirers, he turns a deaf ear to anyone suggesting he might not have all the answers.
He simply declared his presidency demanded passage of this controversial legislation, and Congress assured him it would comply, by any means necessary.
Americans will always have contentious debate over volatile issues, but at the end of the day we have time-honored ways to reach a consensus, which is what this president and this Congress totally disrespected, igniting a furious backlash.
“Find out what people will submit to,” Frederick Douglass, the famed abolitionist, noted a century ago, “and you’ll have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them.”
So millions of Americans are now telling Washington they do not want to submit to Obamacare, and he’s pooh-poohing their recalcitrance as civil disobedience.
It’s no such thing. It’s just a reminder this government still belongs to the people, which is what most of us were correctly taught a long, long time ago.
The only way to pay for the behemoth government takeover health care bill is with taxes, taxes and more taxes. You conveniently won't hear much about the upcoming taxes until after the November 2010 mid-term elections, and of course the tax increases already implemented will not hit until early 2011 either. The big push will be the european-style socialized Value Added Tax, more commonly known as VAT.

The short term Tea Party goals are important. We must remove irresponsible politicians from Washington DC and try to regain some measure of control over our government. This is only a stopgap measure, however, since the legal loopholes that allowed this gargantuan government to evolve are still in place.
We can argue about what we consider Constitutional until we are blue in the face, but as long as the Supreme Court rules in favor of big government with vague interpretations, the Republic will always be at risk.
The first time I saw a map with 38 states taking action to legally oppose Obamacare, it suddenly dawned on me: 38! Just the number of states needed to ratify an Amendment to the Constitution! We have the momentum and now support from the several states.
THE TIME IS RIGHT TO FOCUS THE TEA PARTY ON A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION TO ELIMINATE THE GENERAL WELFARE CLAUSE AND MODIFY THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE CLAUSE FOREVER
Make no mistake, America is going through its second revolution. She has witnessed the full blown threat of government takeover, and this is not the foundation on which this country was based. This one is very different, because it's not blood in the street, but an awakened America engaged as never before at the polls, at TEA Party rallys, at town hall meetings, on the web, throwing their hat in the ring as a candidate, rounding up votes, holding meetings and seminars, sounding the alarm about backroom shenanigans, sounding off about losing education and freedom of religion in our schools, and becoming educated like never before in their lifetime. As Minority Speaker, John Boehner, said the other day, violence and threats are unacceptable.... channel it into positive change.
HERITAGE RESPONDS TO HEALTH CARE VOTE: REPEAL
Healthcare reform still not fair! or is it regular Americans aren't good enough. So lets pass the
28th Amendment
Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators or Representatives, and Congress shall make no law that applies to ...the Senators or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States of America.
NOW THAT SEEMS FAIR. WHAT DO YOU THINK?
As the left rejoices over their monumental victory, conservatives double down on the upcoming 2010 elections and their campaign strategy. "Repeal the Bill" is a good start, but should not be the focus, as it will be a difficult road and Obama will veto any attempt.
The eye-opening shenanigans by the left such as the backroom bribes, payoffs, and threats in their eternal quest for big government; the takeover of the private sector in financial institutions, the car industry, insurance companies, and now health care; their road to a socialistic re-distribution of wealth; the doubling and tripling our deficit .... should be their focus.
BEWARE THE EMBOLDENED LEFT
