The Feds just aren’t able to get away with pushing around the people and the states like they used to. In addition to resisting the federal government’s unconstitutional actions with regard to firearms and health care, now a dozen states or more are challenging the EPA’s crazy global warming standards.

Would you like to shell out an average of $12,000 for a health insurance policy each year–whether you get any help from your employer or the government or not? The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) says that honor will be yours if socialists in Washington D.C. get their way and ram through this government health care plan. The plan also contains the seeds of the complete destruction of our free market system which will force everyone onto the government dole. Read more »

The Attorney General of Virginia is the latest state official to warn congress not to pull yet another fast one in their attempt to ram government health care down the throats of the American people. AG Kenneth Cuccinelli has sent a letter to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, warning her there would be a constitutional challenge if she attempted to ram through government health care without a vote of the people’s representatives.

Has America evolved to the point where the government no longer needs to know your race? Not according to the U.S. Census Bureau. They want to know your race and that of everyone in your home. As Martin Luther King Jr. urged more than 40 years ago, isn’t it time to stop judging us by the color of our skin? Read more »

While more than 30 states are considering passing legislation to block government health care from being forced on their states, Virginia has become the first state to get such a bill to the governor’s office.

The use and abuse of the Antiquities Act, legislation which dates back to the time of Teddy Roosevelt, is nothing new. Little consideration seems to be given to how these federal land grabs will affect property rights, loss of state revenue, job creation and local economies.

It seems there is no limit to the hubris of Obama and his administration. Not content to attempt to take over banks, the auto industry, health care, education, the food industry and virtually every aspect of our economy, while putting nearly 1 in 5 Americans out of work, now we learn that recreational fishing will soon be severely limited by EXECUTIVE ORDER.

Glenn Beck’s “Indoctrination in America” special last Friday is a sobering look into the modern excuse for “public education.” It reveals the host of radical socialist organizations that are meddling in American public education, and what they are teaching our children: to believe in global warming dogma, push radical environmentalism, parrot Marxist propaganda, and not listen to their feeble-minded parents.

The current Obama administration budget projects a doubling of our national debt to $18.5 trillion by 2020, or about 100 percent of our GDP. Harvard economist Martin Feldstein estimates interest alone will cost $800 billion a year. It’s time to stop lying to ourselves. We’re losing our freedom and our nation. We need to slam on the brakes before it’s too late. Read more »

There are a few points about the Tea Party Movement that people should know. First, this is not a top-down movement, fueled by charismatic personality and silky baritone oration. Second, tea partiers do not send leaders to Washington to achieve bipartisanship. Finally, tea partiers do not do nuance. Read more »

The American Community Survey, a part of the census process, is a 28-page intrusive questionnaire that demands to know about a person’s job, income, physical and emotional health, family status, place of residence and intimate personal and private habits. Americans who value their freedom and oppose intrusive government are already beginning to take a stand against this offensive probe in this census year. Read more »

Wouldn’t it be nice if President Barack Obama would throw the American people a curve-ball and nominate someone for something, and that nominee would be a fine, upstanding person who loves America, the American way of life, our founding principles and our Constitution? Keep dreaming. President Obama’s nominee for judge of the 9th Circus (Circuit) Court of Appeals is nothing but another member of Obama’s “Dream Team” to tear down this great nation. Read more »

A bill that declares “exempt from federal regulation any firearm, firearm accessory, or ammunition manufactured and retained in South Dakota” passed in the South Dakota House of Representatives today. SB 89 was approved by a 49-19 vote. The bill had already passed the state Senate on Feb. 18 with a 29-4 vote. Read more »

Andy Stern, an Obama appointee to the Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform, is an unabashed socialist and promoter of global government over U.S. sovereignty. As you’ll hear in this video below, Stern believes there has simply been too much freedom going on our there. Government needs to meddle more in the affairs of private companies–spoken like a true bureaucrat. He (like his boss) is also an open supporter of Marxist wealth redistribution. Read more »

The Sam Adams Alliance has done a study of the Tea Party movement. The study is called “The Early Adopters” and it examines why people got involved with the Tea Party movement, what they seek to accomplish, and some interesting dynamics about the people and politics of the phenomenon. Read more »

As Americans face the figurative and literal bankruptcy of socialist programs in our government, the time has come to rally behind real leadership–leadership that can move us out of the land of bondage to government and back into the promised land of freedom that America has traditionally been. And there is such a plan, if Americans are brave enough to reach out and demand their freedom back. Read more »

You’ve probably heard about the Oath Keepers by now. They are a group of active military, veterans, law enforcement and firefighters who fulfill the oath they swore to support and defend the U.S. Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Bill Whittle of PJTV talks to Oak Keepers spokesman Stewert Rhodes at CPAC. Read more »

Bill Whittle takes us on a trip to examine some of the noble ideals that formed the foundation of our great nation. As Whittle explains, the U.S. Constitution is the “how” of our country while the Declaration of Independence is the “why” of our country. Read more »

Patriots, it’s time to dust off your Bibles and put your emphasis on the Word of God. Let us never forget that God established the greatest nation in the world. When we think of freedom, remember that it is The Almighty who has given us the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. What America needs is a change of heart that is faithful, true, and enduring. Read more »
