The ‘Crash’ That Burned

Pajamas Media "As noted, there have been some counterprotesters, such as a group of college-age kids in Hartford, CT, that marched into their local tea party protest with a sign equating tea party protesters to the Ku Klux Klan. Dave Drian was on hand to describe how the group was simply made to disappear:"...

Congrats to the Tea Party – Despite the MSM, Free Speech Will Win In the End

Big Journalism "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." Quoting Gandhi.

From punchline to powerhouse: the 'tea party' at one year

Christian Science Monitor "The 'tea party' movement still has much to prove. Populist movements often fizzle. But it has reinvigorated the Republican Party and constitutional ideals in an era of fading federalism."

How Dumb Does He Think They Are?

Powerline "President Barack Obama said Thursday he's amused by the anti-tax tea party protests that have been taking place around Tax Day.

Obama's Khrushchev? How Sick Is That?

 Hoover Institution  "Waging war with remote-controlled drone aircraft will become an essential counterterrorism tool "...."Targeted killing is often the most expedient and the most discriminatingly humanitarian manner with which to neutralize a terrorist." It works for me. Kenneth Anderson

Gray Lady Foreign Policy PR Effort Falls Short

Commentary   "But the facts are the facts: the Obami are quite evidently taking a wrecking ball to the U.S.-Israeli relationship. One would have to be blind — or write for the New York Times — to miss what is going on. "Jennifer Rubin

A MESSAGE TO PROTESTERS

Neal Boortz "So, if you will, a bit of friendly advice for those of you participating in these tax protests. Keep calm, even though there will be those there to provoke you. Be respectful, even though there will be those present who will disrespect you. You're not there for a confrontation. You're there to let elected officials know that they have, to paraphrase Admiral Yamamoto after Pearl Harbor, awakened a sleeping giant (that would be you) and filled him with a terrible resolve."
