TriggerTheVote.org: Tough Like Chuck Norris
Posted by: | CommentsThe NRA is sponsoring a get-out-the-vote internet campaign aimed at Second Amendment supporters (TriggerTheVote.org) with its tongue firmly in its cheek. Check out their video of a bunch of Chuck Norris wannabees trying to get in touch with their inner-Chuck.
Pretty funny stuff if you know someone like Randy, but I wonder if this video actually sends the message the NRA wants to get across.
You decide and comment below.
Doctor Zero: Year One
Posted by: | Comments
Back in the early part of 2010 when I was putting together the concept of TeaPartyConnect.com, I decided that other voices should be included and promoted. My thinking was that having other writers contribute to the site would add variety as well as expand the material presented from areas I wasn’t necessarily investigating.
I was using a tool called FeedDemon to subscribe to various conservative blogs and news sources (I can highly recommend FeedDemon, so get it!). In the previous year, I subscribed to many RSS feeds and I sorted through the wheat and chaff by identifying the sources where the best articles originated. That process produced a short list of great bloggers who I now follow on a daily basis.
The Thrill That’ll Git Ya…

Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show just wanted their picture on the cover of The Rolling Stone.
Perhaps, that was not such a noble goal, but here’s a goal that is noble: TeaPartyConnect.com doesn’t want anyone to make the cover of TeaPartyTracker.org. In fact, I don’t even want anyone to visit TeaPartyTracker.org. So much so, that I’ve been debating whether to post a link to them.

The Birthplace Issue has been percolating since before the 2008 election and in that time, it has bubbled just at the surface for many citizens. For just how many citizens has never been measured until recently when 60 Minutes teamed up with Vanity Fair to poll 1,000 Americans. What they found was astounding because 24% of the respondents said Barack Obama was either not born in the United States or they didn’t know where he was born. Additionally, the Pew Research Center recently published the results of a poll showing that 18% of Americans believe Obama is Muslim.
Brian Williams interviewed the President while in New Orleans to commemorate the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina and the issue erupted at the highest level. An annoyed Obama lashed out at “a mechanism, a network of misinformation” churning out there in the “new media”. Clearly referring to the Internet, talk radio and FOX, Obama sought to downplay and discount the questions:

Mr. President, It Ain’t About Bush Any More
Posted by: | CommentsDear Mr. President,
You have now been in office long enough to know that the honeymoon was over months ago. You are also an adult and have lived long enough to know that at some point we are all judged by our actions and our performance. We teach our kids that the people they hang out with affects their character and that as responsible adults, they must be willing to stand and face the consequences of their actions.
Reuters reported that you attacked Bush’s “disastrous” economic policies again and this time in President Bush’s home State of Texas. Just so you know, this type of behavior is not flattering to you and it falls far beneath the Office of The President. Here’s just a little bit of the story to refresh your memory:
At a fund-raising event for Democrats in Dallas, where Bush now lives, Obama said the former president’s “disastrous” policies had driven the U.S. economy into the ground and turned budget surpluses into deficits.
Obama defended his repeated references to Bush’s policies, saying they were necessary to remind Americans of the weak economy he inherited from Bush in January 2009.
“The policies that crashed the economy, that undercut the middle class, that mortgaged our future, do we really want to go back to that, or do we keep moving our country forward?” Obama said at another fund-raising event in Austin, referring to Bush’s eight years as president.
Obama Backs Mosque Near Ground Zero
Posted by: | CommentsI believe I made the position of TeaPartyConnect.com clear previously. But I guess that position puts me at odds with The President who apparently backs the building of a mosque on Ground Zero. Regardless of the headline which AP used, it is not “near” Ground Zero. By virtue of part of the plane going through this building, it is Ground Zero.)
I know that at the time I write this Barack Obama is backtracking from his comments as fast as he can. But the fact is, it is perfect clear to me that he believes what he said originally.
I believe his comments stand on their own and I probably do not need to add any additional comments, but I will make one observation:
Calculating Your 2011 Tax Burden
Posted by: | CommentsThe Tax Foundation has launched a Bush-era tax cuts calculator at www.MyTaxBurden.org, which allows taxpayers to compare their 2011 federal income tax liabilities under three scenarios: if all the Bush-era tax cuts expire completely at the end of this year, if they’re all extended into 2011 or made permanent, and if President Obama’s budget is adopted, which includes a combination of expirations and extensions.
Check it out here: http://www.mytaxburden.org
Although this is just a tax estimator, it purports to show how you will fare under the three potential scenarios described above.
“I Want Your Money” Official Trailer
Posted by: | Comments
Set against the backdrop of today’s headline – 67% of Americans don’t approve of Obama’s economic policies, the film takes a provocative look at our deeply depressed economy using the words and actions of Presidents Reagan and Obama and shows the marked contrast between Reaganomics and Obamanomics. The film contrasts two views of the role that the federal government should play in our daily lives using the words and actions of Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama.
