7 "Hot Reads": Links You Need to See

Decided to try something new this morning, "Hot Reads",links to articles and columns that you can look to, if you're under pressure to find cool info in a short time. I'll try and deliver some unique links, that you might not find elsewhere. Feel free to send me ideas if you want me to continue this....I can't wait to hear what you think...




Today's Hot Reads

Doug Patton over at HumanEvents.com lays it out in plain language in his column, "GOP Will Gladly Take Rush, If the Dems Claim Soros"

So maybe the Brits are starting to think Bush wasn't so Bad after all...The Times UK reports that it's "incredibly difficult" to communicate with Obama Administration.

GatewayPundit answers the Question: What ever Happened to all those people who orchestrated the "Troopergate" Hoax?

Liberal Icon, Camille Paglia is fed up with Obama's "posse of smirky, smart alecs".... and is the second in so many days to warn Obama about becoming a One Term President

North Carolina, Democrat Charlie Albertson wants to "Socialize" Athletics and enforce a Ban on All athletics in underperforming school districts, Maybe Albertson's never heard of an Athletic Scholarship, I bet the kids in those neighborhoods have.

Kyle-Ann Shiver, one of my favorite contributors over at American Thinker, works on some Campaign slogans for 2012, including "I'll have a whack at it." and one that I think has real potential with the Youth Vote: "Obama lied; hope died" in her column that wonders "Voters Obama Follie Coming Home to Roost"

And this last one really gets me in the Heart, as a Hip Hop Fan myself. The Insider at the LA Times takes on the bizarre new twist in the Rhianna and Chris Brown fiasco. The two are reportedly going to record a Duet about the night that Chris Brown Beat Rhianna in His Car, "to capitalize on the emotions" of the two. This is not Romantic, This is Domestic Violence.

Are Meghan McCain's 15 Minutes Up Yet?

Meghan McCain is following in her father's Media darling footsteps, by doing what the OLM loves Republicans to do criticize the party. Once again Meghan McCain, the RNC's own Paris Hilton, takes great pride in being called a RINO.... Only by her own admission, she was never really a Republican in the first place... Now the Bloggette has decided she's all grown up and is taking on Conservatives and has called out Ann Coulter by name in her recent column at the Daily Beast, "My Beef With Ann Coulter".

McCain writes:

It is no secret that being a Republican isn’t the most hip political stance a person can take right now. President Obama has successfully established himself as the hippest politician around. You know you’re big when Katy Perry wears a dress with your face on it to host the MTV Europe Music Awards. To my fellow Republicans: I’m sorry, I wish I could be more positive about the current “hipness” of our party. But being a Republican is about as edgy as Donny Osmond. Granted, being “hip” is not a reason to join a political party, or a reason to agree with its ideals. But it is a way to get the attention of a generation—or, more specifically, my generation.

What was she thinking when she said Hillary Clinton was more conservative than my father during the last election?

To make matters worse, certain individuals continue to perpetuate negative stereotypes about Republicans. Especially Republican women. Who do I feel is the biggest culprit? Ann Coulter. I straight up don’t understand this woman or her popularity. I find her offensive, radical, insulting, and confusing all at the same time. But no matter how much you or I disagree with her, the cult that follows Coulter cannot be denied. She is a New York Times best-selling author and one of the most notable female members of the Republican Party. She was one of the headliners at the recent CPAC conference (but when your competition is a teenager who has a dream about the Republican Party and Stephen Baldwin, it’s not really saying that much).

Coulter's most aggregious offense appears to be stating that Hillary was more Conservative than Meghan's Dad. Coulter's superb use of hyperbole aside, this statement wouldn't have matter if Mitt Romney was on the Ticket. This leaves me with just one question, Who the Hell Cares What Meghan McCain thinks? The girl voted for John Kerry.


Yes. John Kerry. Even 10% of registered Democrats couldn't bring themselves to vote for the helmet headed traitor, but it didn't stop lil' Meghan McCain the Maverick! Kerry testified against his Fellow American soldiers, calling them rapists and murderers. Most Americans were offended by Kerry's tossing of another's awarded ribbons, while clinging to his own for political gain. But not Meghan McCain, even though her father, John McCain is one of the most famous Vietnam Veterans, and certainly our most documented Prisoner of War. Apparently that didn't bother, the younger McCain as much as the media generated rumors surrounding George W. Bush and the 2000 election. Bothered me. Of course I actually read the Swift Boat Veterans book, maybe she should just ask her Dad.



After watching Meghan McCain run to any microphone to "Confess" she voted for Kerry, just after her Dad won the primary, she also wanted the World to know that she wasn't like 'Other Republicans'...She told the LA Times she was an Independent, while Politico reports she may have actually been a Democrat in 2004.

During the election, Meghan portrayed herself to any and all media outlets as the Young face of the McCain campaign, thus the GOP. She wrote on her blog, did numerous interviews for both TV and Print. She wrote a Children's book about her Dad. Meghan was the talk to the Town for most of the campaign season, she brought a spot of excitement to her father's Dull campaign. That was until September, when America met Sarah Palin, no longer was Meghan McCain the only girl at the Dance. I'm guessing that's when the trouble started, and of course the leaks...Even the very liberal Wonkette questioned McCain's antics in her piece... "Is Meghan McCain Cool or Just a Brat?"



Post election, Ms. McCain has forcefully remained mum on the Sarah Palin stories...telling several interviewers that she wouldn't discuss the matter...Hmmm, Do I smell a Book deal in the Works? The Princess of Political Media Whoredom is probably scribbling notes with smiley faces as you read this, about the "totally uncool way that Palin took her spotlight"....

And in this no doubt pending Book release we can glean such insights as

Republican party has to have a message that's simple that goes out. Hope and change was something that really stuck with my generation. It's something that's on bumper stickers and t-shirts. And it's something that was easy for people to understand.

as Reported by Polito from an ABC interview

Meghan thinks it's all about being "Hip", and she doesn't think the GOP is. Therefore she feels the need to assure everyone...'I'm not like them..., I'm cool!' In an interview with GQ magazine, McCain attempted up her "Hipness Quotatient"by expressing her love for the Morally corrupt MTV show, Tila Tequila.

From the article...

On TV she’s currently riveted by MTV’s A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila. “It’s a bisexual-dating show!” she cries. “It’s hilarious!”

(It is taking great restraint not to go off on a tangent about my issues with Tila Tequila and shows like it on MTV, suffice it to say the target demographic for MTV is Teens ages 12-17 and I don't think programming soley focused on Sexuality (Hetro,Homo or Bi) is appropriate. Putting soap box away now.)

With Meghan McCains insatiable desire to hang out with the Cool Crowd in Political Circles, it wouldn't surprise me to find a "Yes,We Can!" sticker on her car, a hybrid, no doubt. In all of Ms. McCain's chattering she has given us one piece of advice that is worth following...

In a rare moment of maturity, McCain wrote:

I am not suggesting that extreme conservatism wasn’t once popular, nor am I suggesting I should in any way be any kind of voice for the party. I have been a Republican for less than a year.

Here's a Novel idea, Ms. McCain, if you don't want to be a "voice", then Stop Talking. I'm certain Meghan McCain will join Kathleen Parker, on the short list of the OLM's favorite Republicans, but I'm hoping her 15 minutes are almost up....

This great country, which I hold so dear, is in trouble. The principles on which our nation was founded seem to be deteriorating daily. Our government, comprised of elected officials sworn to represent us, has abandoned its sovereign duty to the people. Our voices, already muffled by the roar of a liberal media, are falling on the deaf ears of an uncompromising Congress. In an economic crisis created in large part by irresponsible government interference, it seems our government's answer is more of the same. If big government was the cause, how can bigger government be the solution?

In the 1760's the British Government began to use taxation as a tool to suppress prosperity and limit the liberties of its people. Much like our own, the British government abused its power and submitted, not to the citizens, but to the special interests and political gain. On December 16, 1773, American colonists decided, as have we, that enough is enough. In a bold act of protest, the Sons of Liberty filled the Boston Harbor with more than 45 tons of East India Company tea.

The Boston Tea Party put into motion the events that would ultimately lead to the American Revolution and on July 4, 1776, our founding fathers would adopt The Declaration of Independence. This document not only announced our independence from Britain, but it asserted our unalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. In addition to these, the Declaration of Independence ensures our right to protect ourselves from a government that becomes destructive and to alter, abolish, or recreate a government that has ceased to fulfill the duties for which it was created.

In the shadow of failed bailouts that have been squandered away by greedy CEO's and uncooperative labor unions, our government has passed legislation that will prove to be the largest and most costly expansion of government in history. With trillions of dollars gone and wasted, we have stood and watched the America we love slip away; the America that has flourished in a system of free market capitalism and thrived in a democracy centered around states' rights, it is our duty to act. We will stand by and watch no more.

This Friday, all across this nation, "we the people" will be invoking the spirit of our forefathers and joining our voices in an effort to drown out the chatter of mediocrity. We will have a Tea Party of our own. In fact, we will have many. We will speak out against the infliction of a debt that will cripple future generations. We will protest the use of fear by our leaders to impose upon us their liberal agendas. We will respond to the threat of socialism that intensifies as wealth is seized and redistributed. We will reclaim our exceptionalism that sets up apart and provides every man, woman and child with the opportunity to achieve the American Dream . We will reject the class warfare and victim mentality that eats away at peace and prosperity. And once again, we will empower the people...and the people will prevail.

The President has said that he gets it. Let's make sure that he does. Join us...

Michelle Malkin provided us with a list of all the live event locations, times and contacts for Tea Parties across the country.

More on the Birth of the TaxPayer Revolution...from my earlier post, Time to Hit the Harbor!! Americans Plan Tea Party Protests Across the Country

Last week during an interview on CNBC Rick Santelli, may have inadvertently as he said "hit a nerve" with American Taxpayers when he called for a "Chicago Tea Party" in protest of the wasteful spending inside the recently passed "Stimulus" bill. Santelli's words rang true to anyone who heard them, and I although I've always been proud of My country, today I am truly feeling the excitement of being an American.

Watch the Rant that Started it all...




Santelli's pointed reference to that cold night in Boston in 1773, has inspired thousands to go into action and organize "Tea Parties" around the country. I must tell you, I've been wanting a Rebellion of this sort for a long time, and I am pleased to find out that I am not alone.


The Right of every American to participate in civil Protest is a Right, that few Republicans, Conservatives or other Normal people with jobs, rarely get to fully enjoy. Liberals have historically "owned" the Protest market. Sure you might find a few Religious Conservatives at a local abortion clinic on any given day, but for the most part, major protests are held only by Liberals. Why? Because they don't have jobs... silly.

My sister and I have long discussed tying ourselves to something in protest over the years..We very seriously discussed organizing a rebellion against the unexplainable Car Tax here in Virginia. Tim Kaine, our current part time Governor, (you've probably heard of him, He also moonlights as the DNC Chairman.)promised to repeal it or at the very least reduce it, then after being elected immediately changed his position. I know You are Shocked, a Democrat lied.

I digress... my sister and I once pondered the idea of tossing Cars into the James River in protest, but figured the Environmentalist wackos would have a field day with the 'impacts' of our little rebellion. But yet we longed to be heard and it seemed like the only time elected officials pay any attention is when the Media spotlight is on them...as in a Public protest with lots of people and signs....It's why the Liberals do it all the time.

But what happens when hard working Taxpayers realize that if they don't stand up and say something, No One will and President Obama will use the "Generational Theft Act of 2009", to take more Money out of American's wallets? How will America react to Democrats and Obama saying we need to Pay more Taxes, when we all Know that many High ranking Democrats don't even pay their Taxes? Something tells me that why we are having a Nationwide Chicago Tea Party this Friday at Noon....(If you are on Facebook, Join the Nationwide Chicago Tea Party.)

Rising Stars Light GOP Path to 2012

After watching President Obama's State of the Union address last night, I know many Republicans are thinking the same thing I that I am thinking...2012 Can't get Here soon enough!!




Everyone knows that Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney and even Rudy Guiliani will take another run at the Presidency in 2012, if the public support is there. Huck will do it even if it's not. He wants to be President. I don't understand why he can't just be happy being the white male Oprah, his show is pretty good. I truly I hope Huck is not our candidate in four years. That being said, if Huckabee is on the ballot, make no mistake I will vote for him... if my only other option is Barack Obama....

But we already know alot about these guys and what we know is that none of them could win the Primary, against John McCain. So I think you'll agree we Need some new blood. Some of these names you may have heard before but it's time to start really paying attention to what they are doing. Their actions and leadership over the next two years will be critical in determining the future of the Republican party and our Nation as we know it....

Bobby Jindal

I'm going to start with Bobby Jindal, mostly because he is fresh in everyone's mind from his nationally televised response to Obama's address...What I found most interesting was watching the OLM build up Jindal prior to the response, then gleefully tearing him to bits after it was over. Welcome to the National Media, Bobby Jindal. The OLM will spend the next several years trying to decide if they want to say nice things about the 37 year old son of immigrants who is turning Louisana around, one tax cut at a time or do they want to brand him as a Far Right extremist because they view him as a threat for the Presidency?

As Ed Morrisey wrote over at HotAir.com

Want to know why Republicans are so high on Bobby Jindal? Watch him take two minutes to stake out the kind of economic policy territory that the GOP couldn’t find with both hands and a flashlight in two successive national elections:

I always like to judge the value of my candidates based on the level of Vitriol sprewed about them in the OLM. It's kind of my own little 'scale' system. Where the amount I like a candidate is inversely portioned to how much the OLM likes a candidate. Right now the OLM is merely Mocking Jindal, feining disappointment in his response last night, while clearly not listening to a Word he said. If Jindal keeps up the good work in Louisana for another term as he's suggested, maybe just one day he will get the Hate-filled tyriads that are currently directed at the next person on my list, Sarah Palin.

Sarah Palin

America was introduced to Sarah Palin throught he Media "filter" as Palin herself called it. Even with that OLM Lenses focused solely on any gossip or rumors they could pick up on, Many Americans still feel in love with the Governor from Alaska, myself included. I'll admit it.... I <3 Sarah Palin! She represents what I am looking for in a role model. Strong, smart and not afraid to look like a woman!!

John Zeigler's new film "Media Malpractice" has been being teased since just after the election, when he released the Viral video that put him on the map showing how uninformed Obama voters were on the issues. Recently Zeigler sat down with Sarah Palin for an interview that will appear in his documentary. I don't know how any self respecting person would continue to believe the lies about Sarah Palin's intellect after watching this clip...



Since the film is nearing release, Zeigler has been out promoting it on cable news, and calling the OLM liars to their face. You gotta love that...

Here's John Zeigler taking on that Lovable Liberal Facist, Matt Lauer, it's worth a moment to watch...



As Zeigler conceeds his case against the Media is probably one of the easiest things to "Prove" in history...as he says to Matt "You Guys were in Love with Obama!", just try to keep from smiling. And while Palin is playing Coy about another Run at the White House, she has recently formed her own Political Action Commitee (PAC) called SarahPAC. So expect her to be around for awhile.

Eric Cantor

I'm proud to say that I voted for the next person on the list in November, the same day I voted for Sarah, Eric Cantor. Now some of you are becoming more familiar with Rep. Cantor since he became House Minority Whip, but those of us in his home district of Virginia have been lucky enough to have watched him develop into the force he is today. Cantor is a no nonsense man, something that has made him very popular here at home.

Cantor was splashed into the Headlines after his run in with President Obama during the meetings prior to the Stimulus. You remember our new President, who is above partisian ship, looked at Rep. Cantor and said "I'll trump you on that, I Won." Cantor then turned around and "whipped" up exactly Zero Republican votes in support of Obama's Porkulus the following Tuesday. This little move secured Cantor's position as the leader of the loyal Opposition party. Nicely done, Mr. Whip.

Eric Cantor gave a 90 second statement that delivered one of the most effective "Messages" I've heard from any in the GOP in a long time....




I would like to point out that every one on this list has more experience than Barack Obama did on November 4th, 2008, Right Now. Today. The last person I'm keeping an eye on hasn't quite met that requirement yet, and isn't really a serious contender in 2012 but he'll share Obama's qualifications by mid-term elections 2010. If they were Democrats you could Consider them Vetted. ;)

Jason Chaffetz

Since this is America and literally anything is possible, allow me to introduce you to Jason Chaffetz. That name may not sound familiar yet, but he's the Representive from Utah that made headlines awhile back for choosing to sleep in his office on a cot instead of paying for a high priced Washington, DC apartment like his collegues.

This act alone makes me intrigued by him, however Chaffetz is proving to be just as Saavy as he is Frugal. In an effort to reach out to his constituents he has started producing "Cot-Side Chats", a tip of the hat to his current living conditions, and placing them on his website.

This week he chose to discuss the "Omnibus", the new Half Trillion dollar spending bill being pushed through congress by Heckel and Jeckel, also known as Sen. Reid and Speaker Pelosi, Chaffetz makes a simple case as to why he doesn't support this out of control spending spree...



His contempt at spending an additional 8% on top of Porkulus and Bailout Mania, on Omnibus is palpable. You can see why I like this guy. He represents what makes a great leader, he practices what he preaches. Something everyone should be able to respect.

Whomever the Republican candidate is in four years, I will undoubtly support them over the alternative. Judging by the slide in Obama's poll numbers this week, I won't be alone. However with all this Talent in the Pool, Republicans certainly have a lot of reason to be excited about the future of our Party.

Semi-Live Blog of the State of the Union

Is it wrong that I am more excited about seeing Bobby Jindal's response than I am about hearing whatever President Barack H. Obama has to say? Is that really so wrong? I mean Obama has already released the majority of his speech already. The Huffington Post has already got a blog up with the released excerpts...You can Read it Here.

However, the Obama administration didn't really try to down the Awesomeness of His address....suggesting that Obama's address tonight would be "Reaganesque" They've even changed the name it's not a State of the Union anymore, it's a State of the Economy, now....

I am kind of interested to see how the Congress reacts to him, who stands, who sits who applauds etc....

Gallop reported today that Obama's approval rating dropped below 60% a lower number than Jimmy Carter at same time in history...

Since I don't have a full blown chat function if you are following along, live please feel free to jump in on the comment section. I'll be updating periodically throughout the address...

Little editing going on tonight, so please forgive any spelling errors..

The Justices are being addressed as the chamber fills, apparently we're running about 10 minutes behind....

I have to admit it, I love Michelle Obama's dress, I don't like the woman's politics but I can appreciate a Hot outfit!!

Talking heads brought up Obama's campaign speech where he said that the divided congress in reaction to Bush was a sign of needed change....that we needed to be supportive of each other. Interesting considering that would mean that Obama disagreed with his Own party the Democrats for their actions at Bush's addressess...

Another confession, I truly love the pomp and circumstance surrounding the President's official addresses, the formal announcements, the introductions, it's the procedure of it all. It reminds us of our History. It reminds me of why, I am always proud to be American.

President Obama has entered the building...let the hand shaking and mugging for the cameras begin!!

9:15 Lots of Thank yous and Clapping, but I'm not sure what the weird chanting was about...

Why is Nancy Pelosi in a Sweater dress? Nancy just had to jump in an salvage the procedure, Speaker Has to actually Introduce the President before he can start speaking...I can't wait to watch that 7 seconds of ackwardness again...

Here we go....

This sounds a lot like a campaign speech. I know I shouldn't expect more, but as promised he opened on an "optimistic note" if you want to call it that. He prefaced it with a laundry list of problems I have yet to hear a solution to, so I'll keep you posted on whether or not it is really optimistic...

Here comes the Responsibility part...

We are irresponsible people, we Americans. We import oil because we like to drive big gas guzzling SUV's, we get sick, we have kids that we can't afford, Okay so I may be paraphrasing a bit, but not much.

Light clapping....

He's stumbling a bit on some of this...I know he's practices and the teleprompter is there, but I bet it's on fast pace or something. His cadence is all off...

It begins with Jobs...Now the Porkulus isn't a Stimulus, now it's a "Recovery Plan"...to create jobs...Let me know how that Tattoo removal money grows our economy...

He admits that some are "skeptical" about the Pork filled stimulus Package...Oh my god. I just laughed out loud, when announced that to squelch the concern of republicans and other thinking Taxpayers that Joe Biden would be over seeing the spending....As funny as that is.. Obama blew the line by following up with "because Nobody messes with Joe..." OMG!

That one just about got me.

He wants to speak candidly to us about the economy...

Oh there's Boy genius, Tim Guenther, the man can't operate Turbo Tax, but Obama just put him in charge of all of Our money...Don King was right "only in America!"

Obama is talking but I haven't yet figured out if he's explained how the largest spending bill in history will actually help the teachers, struggling homeowners, and working people, oh and of course "the average family". He just keeps saying it will help them in all aspects of life.

Obama hasn't learned yet, the Devils in the Details when times are tough. Right now people want details, not rhetoric.

Jeez. Obama just said "and This Time Banks will have to...This Time CEO won't be able to...Those Days are Over"...Does he not Know that the Dems had control of congress in October? I bet he voted for himself! (thank you, John Zeigler!)

"It's Not about helping Banks, it's about Helping people"...Where is that MONEY coming from Obama? Say it, Say the Word: Nationalization

It is not our Responsiblity to Make Sure that EVERY American Owns a Home. It's to make sure that everyone has an Opportunity to Earn the Money to Purchase a home of their own if they work hard and save their money...

Now he's comparing his Porkfilled Recession extender Package to the GI Bill.

Watching Nancy Pelosi smirk and sneer over Obama's shoulder is mildly entertaining, however watching her eyes light up with glee when Obama discusses our slide into socialism, is unsettling...to say the least..

Hybrids roll of our assembly lines, and sit in Dealer lots because they cost about $7000 more on average than non-hybrid cars of the same model. In an economic downturn why would you force the auto manufacturers to produce a product that would cost a customer More money? Those cars will sit or they will sell undervalue either way they will cost the Auto Industry and thus Us the Taxpayers, Money.

Yawn! Bring on Bobby Jindal!! Bobby! Bobby!

Now Obama is telling us it's time for Nationalized Health Care too. "No Really, It's Time." Okay what ever you say Dear Leader. Have you been to Canada? The national plan there is "Don't Get Sick!"

Oh good news. Obama is going to cure cancer. Well at least he's going to try. UGH!! The government should stay out of this! Private research has always delivered the Best Results....the Government is inefficient and can't afford the Best minds in the field...Making insurance portable and competitive is the only real solution in Health Care...

I'm sorry don't we offer free educations now? Obama says we need to make sure all kids have access to public schools, are those that don't now? Oh I know he's talking about illegals, but no they get educations here too...Not sure who he means..

But since we are on the subject, Obama have you opened your "letter" from the Kids in DC, who are begging you to allow them to keep their school voucher program....

I think I just threw up in my mouth, the way Obama introduced Teddy Kennedy was too much...Just too much. A man who has never asked what his country could do for him...

Wooo.wait a minute. I was drifting in and out, But Obama just said he was proud they passed a Stimulus package that was "Ear Mark Free" that might be technically correct, but it's nowhere Near the Truth. That Waste filled pay back bill will not Save us money over the next ten years...I don't care how you do the math...

"Let him be Clear..." If your family makes less than $250 a year, you won't see your taxes increase. Not one Single Dime. If fact you will get some money, infact these checks are on the Way! Unless of course you live in Kansas or California in which case the State is broke, so no tax returns for you! ;)

That last bit should make for a great campaign ad for Sarah Palin or Bobby Jindal in 2012. Obama is going to raise everyone's taxes, he's just not going to tell you about it.

OH and he's not afraid of Terrorists!

Obama just took a page out of Bill Clinton's book, promised pay raises for the Military! Standing O on both sides of the aisle. Let's see that he does that...shall we? Clinton nearly destroyed our Military during his tenure, we can't afford to allow Obama to do the same.

Oh I wish Nancy Pelosi would stop that smirking..Nice shot of Hillary Clinton, wonder what she's thinking?!

Biden is just sitting there trying to look serious and Vice-presidential....I'd love to see that guy from "Lie to Me" take on the micro-expressions in this crew...


Obama just highlighted the man from florida who gave away 60 million dollars to his employees...

Now he's talking about that brilliant young lady who wrote to congress asking for help for her deteriorating school...Why did it take a student writing to congress for someone to take notice? Are there No Adults in Her home town? Obama didnt mention the school's name, I don't know it is because he forgot or because he didn't remember...

So He "Gets It" but he still wants to Nationalize Banks, Universal Health Care and Increased Government involvement in Schools and all aspects of our life...Obviously he doesn't "Get" what I'm thinking, because those all sound like Socialism and I'm not interested.

He's Right about One thing We All Want America to Be Successful. But Clearly we have different ways of going about it.

Bring on Bobby Jindal!!

Time to Hit the Harbor! Americans Plan "Tea Party" Protests Across the Country

Last week during an interview on CNBC Rick Santelli, may have inadvertently as he said "hit a nerve" with American Taxpayers when he called for a "Chicago Tea Party" in protest of the wasteful spending inside the recently passed "Stimulus" bill. Santelli's words rang true to anyone who heard them, and I although I've always been proud of My country, today I am truly feeling the excitement of being an American.

Something tells me that why we are having a Nationwide Chicago Tea Party this Friday at Noon....(If you are on Facebook, Join the Nationwide Chicago Tea Party.)


The original Boston Tea Party was an act of Rebellion against the High Taxes being paid by colonists, while they recieved No representation in British Parliment. Hence the saying so loved by what Democrats hope to make our newest state, Washington, DC. "Taxation without Representation". The Colonists tossed the Tea into the Boston Harbor and America's love affair with Coffee begins....(talk about a Butterfly effect!)

This was the Birth of our Nation, the First Americans did not want to Pay for things they did not use nor did they support. And here we are again, over 200 years later facing the same problem. We've got Democrats in Congress who have already passed the largest spending bill in history, coupled with a President who has never seen a Tax increase he didn't like. Now that the Porkulus was signed into law, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi are already planning "Porkulus Payoff Bill #2" , which will cost Taxpayers another half a Trillion dollars.

There is a growing frustration amongst Americans, Michelle Malkin has been documenting the recent groundswell of Taxpayer Rebellion through her website. In a recent post she shared some of the e-mails, parodies and spoofs that she's been sent by readers, one of her readers, L.C. wrote the following tribute set to the tune of "American Pie", try to keep this from running through your head all day....

A long, long time ago…
we can still remember
How Ronald Regan made us smile.
And we knew if we had a chance
we could make those Democrats dance
And, surely we’d be happy for a while.

But this February should makes us shiver
With every promise Nancy delivers.
Bad stimulus on the doorstep;
We shouldn’t take one more step.

We will remember when we cried
As we read Harry’s big fat lies,
But something is foul deep inside
The day responsibility died.

So bye-bye, to our kids piece of the pie.
Obama Drives us to the brink,
will leave us all high and dry.
Coburn and the boys were tryin’ all they could think
Singin’, “You’re making our economy die.
you’ve taken our kid’s piece of the pie.”

Can we still trust in our gov,
We will need our faith in God above,
If we want to make them go.
Do we believe in principles,
Can we be saved from those liberals,
And can Mitch and John keep their troops in tow?

Well, the Unions are in love with them
`cause they read the same liberal hymm.
They change all the rules.
Now we got those stimulus blues.

We’ll end up lonely and without a buck
Just a Green job and a hybrid truck,
Right now, we are out of luck
The day responsibility died.

We started singing,
“bye-bye, our kid’s piece of the pie.”
Obama drives us to the brink,
will leave us all be high and dry.
Coburn and the boys trying all they could think
singing “You’re making our economy die.
you’ve taken our kid’s piece of the pie.”

Now for two months we’ve been on our own
Ried, Nancy and Obama have clearly shown,
Their way is how it’s gonna be.
They’re jesters, jokes and drama queens,
Throwin’ cash around like they’re seventeen
Not listening to the voice of you and me,

And while they read a book of Marx,
We praise Friedman in the dark
The day responsiblity died.

We were singing,
“bye-bye, our kids’ piece of the pie.”
Obama drives us to the brink,
will leave us high and dry.
Coburn and the boys were tryin’ all they could think
singin, ” You’re making our economy die.
you’ve taken our kid’s piece of the pie.”

But we can not sign the blues
We will work for happy news,
Freedom is 21 months away.
We must go to the roof and shout “no more,”
Like we did 15 years before,
It is time to put an end to the Lib’s day.

For today believers in responsibility screamed,
Conservatives cried, But we still will dream.
Loud words must be spoken;
“Our Liberal government is broken.”
And three men to whom we could turn:
Pawlenty, Jindal and Coburn,
From their leadership we can surely learn.

Today, responsibility died.

‘Til then we will be singing:
“bye-bye, our kid’s piece of the pie.”
Obama drives us to the brink,
will leave us all be high and dry.
Coburn and the boys were trying all they could think
singing “You’re making our economy die.
you’ve taken our kid’s piece of the pie.”

A few weeks ago I was expressing my personal desire for a Taxpayer rebellion on Twitter and I asked "What should we throw in the Harbor?" The #1 Answer was Congress. (Just so you know... the #2 answer was Liberals...) That of course was just my humble little survey, but apparently it's as accurate as any Gallop Poll, because Congressional Approval Ratings continue at record lows, and Rassmussen reported last week that only 38% of Voters thought the Stimulus would work, yet Democrats in Congress and President Obama passed it anyway and are already thinking about ways to take more of Your Money, It that isn't Taxation without Representation, I don't know What is.....

In one of her better interviews, Ann Coulter discussed the "Santelli Effect" on Fox News this morning, with everyone's favorite anchor woman, Megyn Kelly.



While Coulter stops short of promoting this week's planned "Tea Parties", I'm not going too...I will be participating in this Friday's Nationwide Chicago TeaParty with my friends at Top Conservatives on Twitter and Smart Girl Politics and I am currently trying to make plans to attend the Washtington DC Tea Party at the Washington Monument at Noon. I'm ready to Hit the Harbor!! Are you going to join me?

If you've had enough of the Goverment taking Your Money and spending it on things you don't agree with? Then it's time to take a Stand.

Here's How to Get Involved:

I've been itching for a rebellion like this my whole life, so I can't imagine not being involved. Maybe you aren't normally an "activist" kind of person, are you the "I'd like to keep the money I work hard to earn" kind of person? If so then it's time to Join the Party. Get involved in anyway you can. If We the People Don't Stand Up Against Our Government, Who Will?
