There is nothing more precious to Americans as our right to vote and the belief that our voting rights are sacred and protected. The dismissal of charges against people who commit voter intimidation -- BLATANTLY and with video evidence of it -- simply because they are black ("minority") is about as UNAmerican as it gets. Martin Luther King, Jr. himself must be rolling in his grave. Despite the DOJ’s failure to present any credible justification for withholding relevant documents and subpoenaed witnesses, the Commission offered Holder a compromise on July 28. Without waiving its demand for information about the NBPP dismissal, the Commission offered to limit its initial questioning of Christopher Coates if Justice would produce him as a witness. The Commission offered to temporarily forgo questions about the NBBP case deliberations and instead ask about the DOJ policies that J. Christian Adams testified about: the directive from Julie Fernandes, the deputy assistant attorney ...

Democratic Party Political Director Linked to Mysterious Tea Party Political Party ...now, really. Who's surprised by this news?...

You mean he finally made an appearance and I missed it?! ;-) If you're like me and missed the momentous event, click the audio link at the end of this post from The Coalition to Protect Kentucky Jobs. Color me unsurprised by Conway's support for this. Really. How could he NOT support that job-killer -- he'd have an empty campaign war chest if he didn't.   Jack Conway Reveals Support For "Job  Killer" Conway "On Record" In Support Of Employee 'Forced' Choice Act   Louisville, KY (July 28 , 2010 ) – Candidate for U.S. Senate Jack Conway revealed in a radio interview this morning that he supports the Employee 'Forced' Choice Act (EFCA), supports removing the secret ballot from union-organizing elections and wants to make it "as easy as possible" for Kentucky's small businesses to be forcibly unionized by means of EFCA.  He reiterated his support for the legislation even as the interviewer pointed out that the legislatio...

Cry Racism! and Let Slip the Dogs of Politics ...these dogs need an obedience lesson via a long stay at the pound.

Barack Obama promised a new era of post-partisanship. In office, he's played racial politics and further split the country along class and party lines. [...] Even the former head of the Civil Rights Commission, Mary Frances Berry, acknowledged that the Obama administration has taken to polarizing America around the issue of race as a means of diverting attention away from other issues, saying: "the charge of racism is proving to be an effective strategy for Democrats. . . . Having one's opponent rebut charges of racism is far better than discussing joblessness." [...] Read the full article by Patrick Caddell and Douglas Schoen at the WSJ Online .

As GOP power seems closer, should it discard some Bush economic policies? | Washington Examiner It is my sincere hope that the GOP, if it spanks the Democrats as hard as expected in the midterm elections, pays VERY close attention to correcting past mistakes. I can't speak for all Tea Partiers but I can tell you that a large contingent of us are expecting an adjustment in the "ruling class" attitudes and a revamped, sharp, efficient, and streamlined fiscal policy. My worst fear is that we get better GOP numbers in Congress this midterm only to end up with more of the same poor fiscal Policy "management."

K Street goes to the defense of Charlie Rangel | Washington Examiner If this isn't just the most blatant example of why we need a Flat or Fair Tax to end the games in DC, I don't know what is. As long as politicians are allowed to manipulate tax code to favor some and penalize others, we will continue to have Rangelitis on Capitol Hill.

McDonald thus paints a bright picture for the future of constitutional liberty, and opens the door to reviving a long-ignored but powerful provision of our Constitution. Thomas' clarion call for a liberty-focused originalism provides a step on which to build in future. Supreme Court Opens Door to More Liberty | Josh Blackman and Ilya Shapiro | Cato Institute: Commentary What a refreshing take on the decision! Liberty just might be making a comeback!

Having trouble viewing this email? Click here Harry Reid and the Democrats' New McCarthyism - Voting on the DISCLOSE Act in ONE HOUR! The Democrats are running scared, fearful of the impact grassroots activists will have in November. With the DISCLOSE Act, which will go into effect almost immediately, in time for the November elections, they will be able to effectively and legally shut us down. The effort to silence us before the elections is tantamount to a witch hunt.

..the more they stay the same. From today's edition of "Daily Events:" July 23, 1764 "Taxation Without Representation" coined On this day in 1764, Massachusetts lawyer James Otis, Jr. published his thoughts on taxation, coining the phrase "taxation without representation." I know liberals will find this confusing. How can that ConservaChick person claim to be taxed without being represented?! I guess it's an inside joke among us Conservatives, huh? Unfortunately, the joke will be on our kids and generations more to come courtesy of our current Political Ruling Class.

Just a quick note this morning to make you all aware that yours truly will be blogging as one of the " Local Voices " in the u local section of WLKY's website. My first post went up in the wee hours of this morning! I suppose ConservaChick will be introducing a whole new readership to what the "extreme" politics of Conservatism is all about locally. I'm excited and hope you'll stop in on occasion. Thanks for the opportunity to be a part of an exciting new project like this, Rick!

Liberty First PAC, Tax Day Tea Party and the Patriot Caucus have scored a major win by having Anita Moncrief join our ranks as an advisor. Like Tammy Bruce, David Horowitz, and many others who left the oppressive ranks of Borgish Liberalism to join the cause of Liberty, Anita is a patriot and a hero. It's an exciting time to be a Tea Partier! Here's the message from Eric Odom: Sweet Irony! Fellow Patriots, Liberty First PAC, TaxDayTeaParty.com and the Patriot Caucus is very excited to announce that Anita MonCrief , a former ACORN employee and whistle blower of the organization, will be joining our team as national spokesperson! Anita, a former self-described liberal, has spent the past year working hard to advance the ideas and principles of liberty. She's served on our advisory committee for most of 2010, and she's been a vital part of what we do. For those who do not know the back story on Anita MonCrief, you can watch one of her appeara...

Absolutely THE BEST description of what's happening today and what may be soon to come. Bravo, Angelo Codevilla and the American Spectator! America's Ruling Class -- And the Perils of Revolution The only serious opposition to this arrogant Ruling Party is coming not from feckless Republicans but from what might be called the Country Party -- and its vision is revolutionary.

While I'm offended at the amount of entourage and excess with which this president travels, whether it's vacation or business, I tend to agree with a number of others who wish everyone on Capitol Hill would vacation more and legislate less. Noblesse Oblige: Obama's Dog Gets Own Plane on Vacation Trip July 17, 2010 - by Warner Todd Huston The Morning Sentinel , a small paper from the state of Maine, has a travelogue story of the Obama's vacation in and about Maine today. It has a very interesting little tidbit in it that should enrage every American. It is something that really shows Barack Obama's arrogance and his obviously assumed air of noblesse oblige. Among the exciting details of the Obama's visit to Acadia National Park in Bar Harbor is this tidbit: Arriving in a small jet before the Obamas was the first dog, Bo, a Portuguese water dog given as a present by the late U.S. Sen Ted Kennedy, D-Mass .… As the rest of us toil on the unemployment line, as millio...

The surprise is not the polling numbers; it's the fact that it's being reported by CBS. The Obama Fan Club is getting smaller by the poll.

Obama Administration Moves to Implement Sunlight Before Signing Now, it's YOUR turn, Congress!

Ann Coulter is my favorite sharp wit! ..." Naomi Campbell is rougher with her assistants than our troops are allowed to be with Taliban fighters. " ... You go, Girl! Bill Kristol Must Resign by Ann Coulter Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele was absolutely right. Afghanistan is Obama's war and, judging by other recent Democratic ventures in military affairs, isn't likely to turn out well. It has been idiotically claimed that Steele's statement about Afghanistan being Obama's war is "inaccurate" -- as if Steele is unaware Bush invaded Afghanistan soon after 9/11. (No one can forget that -- even liberals pretended to support that war for three whole weeks.) Yes, Bush invaded Afghanistan soon after 9/11. Within the first few months we had toppled the Taliban, killed or captured hundreds of al-Qaida fighters and arranged for democratic elections, resulting in an American-friendly government. Then Bush declared success and turned his a...

Drumroll please... And now the moment we've all been waiting for!... They are finally asking themselves the question: "How's that hopey changey thing workin' out for ya?"

Great analysis by Jay Homnick at the American Spectator. GOP, are you paying attention? This is spot on and establishment Republicans had better have their heads up and their eyes and ears open. Yes, We Can't! Republicans are poised to give Obama and the Democrats all the mo' they need to survive this fall.

Published in 2005, this report should enlighten those of you still in the dark as to why Tea Parties are reaching critical mass now. It's a core Conservative belief that bigger Federal government is bad for liberty; this report from the Heritage Foundation puts numbers to why it's also bad for our economy. Time for meaningful change is slipping rapidly past... actually, maybe we crossed the Rubicon aboard the ship of "compassionate conservatism?" The Impact of Government Sepnding on Economic Growth

Folks, if this is acceptable to Eric Holder so much so that he protects it, all we Crackahs are in big trouble. If this guy's rant is not "hate speech," I don't know what is. Is the Obama administration purposely stirring up radical/militant racial division in this country?!

Great new music video from RightChange.com !

I may be severely lagging in getting this out but I just saw it today. I'm not much of a rap music fan... well, actually, I hate it unless it's more techno than rap. This song has a great mix that makes it enjoyable even to an old fuddy-duddy like me. For the record, Molotov Mitchell who wrote and produced this music video is an Independent who felt he couldn't support John McCain and did not vote for Obama. Is he biased? Hard to say since he didn't like McCain or Obama. I'd say he's represents where a whole lot of Conservatives were in 2008. Oh and who wants to be the first Lib to point out that all the DJs are white? Any racists in the house, yo?

I am remiss in getting this information posted -- sorry for the delay, folks!

My husband and I marched with hundreds of thousands on 9/12/2009 as a part of the Taxpayers March on DC. This song and the music video completely capture the spirit of that day. It was inspiring and eye-opening. So many voices, so many feet on the street, as we marched peacefully to express our desire to return this country to its roots, its greatness, its liberty. Thank you for this, Jeremy! That day will live forever in this video and this song. You are a great asset to the movement.
