They finally reached the remaining miners in West Virginia and the outcome was not good. Last night they finally reached the final four missing miners and all were dead. This now makes the disaster at Big Branch the worst mining accident in nearly 4 decades, and one that could have been adverted. We have heard […]
This is another sign of the times: Tax Day is a dreaded deadline for millions, but for nearly half of U.S. households it’s simply somebody else’s problem. About 47 percent will pay no federal income taxes at all for 2009. Either their incomes were too low, or they qualified for enough credits, deductions and exemptions […]
Wow these people really are about freedom – aren’t they? Beware liberal infiltrators, Tea Party organizers are looking for you. Tricksters aiming to crash next week’s nationwide Tax Day protests to taint the activists as racist will have to dodge the eyes of event organizers, Tea Partiers say. “We are going to very aggressively police […]

In a blog post on the Tax Day Tea Party site, Eric Odom has stated he has received threatening phone calls. He then goes on to blame the left for all the outrage: You may or may not have heard, but the far left and the drive by media are pushing a major narrative campaign […]
This exchange between David Shuster and some tea bagger this afternoon on MSNBC pretty much sums up the whole problem; that the tea party refuses to take responsibility for their rhetoric. To make it even more interesting, the tea bagger goes on to blame the rash of vandalism against Democratic members of Congress on Democratic […]
It started with vandalism at the offices of five different Democratic lawmakers this weekend and has now spread to what can only be called an assassination attempt: After a tea party organizer published the address of the brother of Rep.

That would be Republican Bruce Bartlett, who worked in both the Reagan and Bush 41 administrations, as well as being a former staffer to Ron Paul: On March 16 the Tea Party crowd showed up for yet another demonstration on Capitol Hill in Washington.
