Showdown in Searchlight: Tea Party Supporters Already Arriving

I sure wish we could have helped throw Harry Reid out of office before the debacle he and the others in the triumvirate of evil (Pelosi and Obama) perpetrated on the American people. Oh well. Better late than never, I suppose!

I've seen this "Showdown in Searchlight" event referred to elsewhere as the "Conservative Woodstock" but the organizers have now confirmed it! It sounds like the camping part of the deal is accurate. I just hope there is no rain and no bad acid...  ;-)

MEDIA:  Tea Party Supporters Already Arriving for "Showdown in Searchlight"

Land Owner Invites Tea Party Activists to

"Camp Out" at Rally Site Starting Tonight (Friday Evening)

The "Showdown in Searchlight" mega tea party event is more than 24-hours away, yet supporters have already started arriving in Searchlight for the event.  In fact, the owner of the 160-acre property that the rally is being held on (Mr. T.D. Barnes) has invited supporters to come and camp out at the rally location beginning this evening (Friday, March 26th).

It doesn't get closer to a "Conservative Woodstock" than this.

NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams aired a report on the upcoming rally on Thursday evening's broadcast, including an interview with a man who had just arrive for the rally... from Montana.  Watch the news report by NBC News' Lee Cowan - HERE:


Staging and equipment for the rally will also begin arriving this afternoon, and staff from the Tea Party Express will work with local coordinators to ensure that the event runs as smoothly as possible.


"We have untold thousands of people coming for what may be the biggest such rally in Nevada's history.  It might be crowded or chaotic at times, but it will be a profoundly meaningful and significant event for those who come join our tea party rally," said Ryan Gill of the Tea Party Express.

Is conscription the prescription?

US Representative, Charlie Rangel (D-NY) is at it again. Rangel's prescription for fixing the ills we're feeling in Iraq is a draft . I have very mixed feelings about this. Conscription is conscription no matter what you choose to label it. Is that appropriate in a free country? On the flip side of this coin, I've often thought that compulsory national service would be a great idea for American kids right out of high school. It might have been a better start for me than learning to down beer at a Liberal Arts university! Two years in the service might give kids time to think about their future, learn higher levels of responsibility, and begin to take life more seriously. There are many countries who require some level of mandatory military service: Belarus, Chile, China, Croatia, Serbia, Russia, Iran, Lebanon, our neighbor Mexico, and our old buddy Germany, to name a few. Gee, now that I look at that partial list... aren't many of those countries Socialist or at battl...

As the Blog Turns...

Gee. I have found myself fascinated by the soap opera unfolding in the comments section of this blog since last night. One little mention on a controversial Democrat's blog and it's High Noon on ConservaChick! (Yes, I'm laughing while I type this.) For those of you who have no idea what's happening in the ever-expanding comments section , join the club! Here's what I know about Mark Nickolas from bits and pieces I've read on his blog, and from a local news report: Nickolas likes to sneer at Republicans and call them snide little nicknames as he provides his "Unfiltered and Candid Look at Politics, Politicians and the Media in Kentucky;" he raised a ruckus within the Democrat party here in Kentucky by filing a suit against the chairman of the party , Jerry Lundergan; and he will be appearing on the same panel with yours truly on Thursday night. That's about it. You now have the benefit of my not-so-extensive knowledge on this subject. Nickolas poste...

Pol Watchers Responds

I think it's important for anyone with a voice on the internet to present all sides of an issue. In that spirit, I am posting the response I received via email from John Stamper of the Lexington Herald-Leader to the piece I wrote about censorship on blogs: "Your post about Pol Watchers does not contain the entire thread of comments, as your blog states. If you go to the post in question , you will see that there has been no effort to eliminate comments just because they question Jonathan Miller and Mark Nickolas. Plenty of them still remain. However, as stated in my comment on Pol Watchers, we're not going to allow people to use the blog as a forum for name calling. It's that simple. Check around, it's a pretty common policy. For example, blogs at WashingtonPost.com have this policy: 'User reviews and comments that include profanity or personal attacks or other inappropriate comments or material will be removed from the site. Additionally, entries that are unsi...
