Tea Party Map

Unless the pundits understand the new political map of America, they will continue to wallow in their ignorance. The map is no longer Red and Blue but Yellow for Tea Party, Green for Anti-Tea Party, White for Potential Tea Party, Red for Republican and Blue for Democrat.

Kentucky, Florida, Pennsylvania, Florida, New Mexico, Arizona, Wisconsin, Utah, Texas and South Carolina are Tea Party States (Yellow).

Colorado, Alaska, Georgia, Kansas, Nevada and New Hampshire are Potential Tea Party States (White)

California, New York, Delaware, Vermont, Maryland, Washington and Illinois are Anti-Tea Party States (Green).

Ohio is a Republican State (Red).

Oregon is a Blue State (Blue).

That would be a good start in the new political map.

I would define a Tea Party State as one in which a Tea Party candidate won a state wide race.

I would define an Anti -Tea Party State as one in which a Tea Party candidate lost badly in a state wide primary or general election race.

I would define a Potential Tea Party State in which a Tea Party Candidate narrowly lost a Republican primary and the Republican won the state wide race or the Tea Party candidate narrowly lost the general election race.

I would define a Republican State in which there was no credible Tea Party candidate and the Republican won the state wide race. In case of a split, you would go back to the last general election.

I would define a Democrat State in which there was no credible Tea party candidate and the Democrat won the state wide race.

McCrystal and Obama

As usual, Obama and the lame stream media are ignorant of history.

General McClellan and President Lincoln: President Lincoln would have lost the 1864 election to General McClellan if General Sherman did not capture Atlanta a few months earlier.

General MacArthur and President Truman. President Truman was so unpopular that he did not run in 1952 and the Republicans and another General, General Eisenhower won the election.

Another general openly mocked President Lincoln and President Lincoln was urged to replace that general. President Lincoln said, " I do not care what that general says about me as long as he wins the war."

Texas for Sarah Palin: Erickson disses Palin in trying to make the case for DeVore

texas4palin.blogspot.com

I agree. Josh at his best. It is sad when Gov Palin supporters and Devore supporters demean each other. It does harm to the conservative cause. Such behaviour shows immaturity and lack of sophistication.

Personally I have been put in an uncomfortable position by Gov Palin endorsement of Carly Fiorina. If Chuck Devore was not a candidate, I would completely support Carly Fiorina thus I decided to be neutral and support both candidates and hope one of them will beat Tom Campbell who is the real opponent.

Gov Palin and the American People

Even the Kos Poll Concedes Governor Palin's Offshore Drilling Position is a Winner http://bit.ly/bvnHHi #Palin

Do you favor or oppose increasing offshore drilling for oil and gas in U.S. coastal areas?
Favor 60
Oppose 32
Not Sure 8

Does the recent Deep Horizon oil spill make you more or less likely to favor or oppose increasing offshore drilling for oil and gas in U.S. coastal areas, or does it have no real effect on your point of view?
More likely 32
Less likely 13
No Effect 55


When Gov Palin takes a policy position she does not take a poll. She takes a policy position according to her political principles. The fact that the polls usually support her political position shows how she is in sync with the American people.

Carly vs Chuck

As a supporter of Chuck, I have been struggling with Gov Palin endorsement of Carly. I am a supporter of Chuck but I am dedicated to Gov Palin. If Gov Palin was a candidate, I would switch my allegiance from Chuck to Carly. At the moment, Gov Palin is not a candidate for any office and we do not know if she will be in the future. So what should I do. I decided to take the coward way out and be neutral. I will follow both Carly and Chuck and retweet theirs tweets but still giving priority to any news or tweets about Gov Palin. I think Chuck would make the best Senator from California but I know that Gov Palin should be the next president of the United States. It is more important that Gov Palin be the next President than Chuck be the next Senator from California.

Carly Fiorina Endorsement

It is apparent from the update on Gov Palin endorsement of Carly Fiorina that Gov Palin
was surprised by the criticism of her endorsement. Based on whom I follow and who follow
me on twitter, I was not surprised. Most are strong supporters of Gov Palin and Chuck Devore.
as I am. Gov Palin can support any conservative for any reason. My support for Gov Palin is
not dependent on which conservative she supports.

What concerns me is what was expressed recently in an article. Does she have a sufficient
number of advisers? Clearly she needs someone who supports Chuck Devore who could
have warned her about the reaction her endorsement of Carly Fiorina would create.

Lame Stream Media and Santonio Holmes

News Item in the Baltimore Sun

"Authorities at Pittsburgh International Airport filed an incident report after a flight attendant claimed that Jets wise receiver Santonio Holmes failed to follow regulations by not turning off his ipod as the plane was landing. Holmes received a warning from authorities but was not charged with anything."

Posting on the New York Jets web site.

"Friday morning reports on a Pittsburgh TV station Website and other Internet outlets regarding an airline incident allegedly involving Jets wide receiver Santonio Holmes on Thursday night are not true, according to the Allegheny County, Pa., Police Department.

"As previously reported, [Santonio] Holmes was NOT removed from any airplane (4/29/2010)," a media release from the police department read. "He was asked to remove his Ipod (at one" point), in which he complied. There's no further information to report."

Who do you believe? If the NY Jets reporting was not true, the New York media will let everybody know about it. Except for this blog, who will hold the Baltimore Sun accountable. That is the problem with the Lame Stream Media. Accountability.

Obamacare and Gov Palin Part 1

Gov. Palin On The Passage Of O-Care

“Out-of-touch Congress Sounds Our Clarion Call to Take a Stand

We’ve been reminded many times that elections have consequences. Yesterday we saw the consequence of voting for those who believe in “fundamentally transforming” America whether we want it or not. Yesterday they voted. In November, we get to vote. We won’t forget what we saw yesterday. Congress passed a bill while Americans said “no,” and thousands of everyday citizens even surrounded the Capitol Building to beg them not to do it. Has there ever been a more obvious exhibition of a detached and imperious government?”

Though they’d like us to forget, we will remember the corrupt deals, the corrupt process, the lack of transparency, the deceptive gimmicks to game the CBO score, and the utter disregard for the will of the American people.”

“This is just the beginning of our efforts to take back our country. Consider yesterday’s vote a clarion call and a spur to action. We will not let America sink into further debt without a fight. “

Sarah Palin on Health Care - "You Were Warned"

Sarah Palin blames the current Health Care debacle on President Obama's lack of executive experience. She tells Greta Van Susteren that she and John McCain tried to warn America about this during the campaign.

She also calls the Health Care Bill - a coming "Train Wreck."

Obamacare: Column Illustrates the Potential for “Never Ending Conversation” End of Life Counseling Pressure

A physician named Dr. Eliezer Van Allen wrote an opinion column in this morning’s San Francisco Chronicle intending to puncture the fear of “death panels” in the context of our political debate over Obamacare–although he is not discussing the plan’s rationing boards, but rather, the end of life counseling controversy, a different matter altogether. Nobody is against physicians discussing what patients want in specific circumstances. As Dr. Van Allen notes, that is part of the job description for a primary care physician. The fear is that in a cost cutting/quality of life milieu, the counseling could become outcome directed, pushing very ill and expensive patients for which to care in a certain direction–already a problem with some advance directive forms.

West Virginia vs Oklahoma City

West Virginia is not Oklahoma City. Oklahoma City was an act of domestic terrorism and West Virginia was an accident. Of course a socialist who believes in class warfare would try to portray the West Virginia tragedy as an act of domestic terrorism as what happens when the workers are exploited by the privilege class. Americans will see through this disreputable political exploitation of a sad tragedy. If the owners are guilty of negligence, so are the state and federal governments who are suppose to inspect the working conditions. My sympathy and condolences and best wishes to the miners and families and to the victims and families of the Oklahoma City bombing.

National Security: Palin vs Obama Part 3

Mr. President, is a strong America a problem?

From Gov. Palin's Notes in Facebook.

Asked this week about his faltering efforts to advance the Middle East peace process, President Obama did something remarkable. In front of some 47 foreign leaders and hundreds of reporters from all over the world, President Obama said that “whether we like it or not, we remain a dominant military superpower.”

Whether we like it or not? Most Americans do like it. America’s military may be one of the greatest forces for good the world has ever seen, liberating countless millions from tyranny, slavery, and oppression over the last 234 years. As a dominant superpower, the United States has won wars hot and cold; our military has advanced the cause of freedom in Iraq and Afghanistan and kept authoritarian powers like Russia and China in check.

It is in America’s and the world’s interests for our country to remain a dominant military superpower, but under our great country’s new leadership that dominance seems to be slipping away. President Obama has ended production of the F-22, the most advanced fighter jet this country has ever built. He’s gutted our missile defense program by eliminating shield resources in strategic places including Alaska. And he’s ended the program to build a new generation of nuclear weapons that would have ensured the reliability of our nuclear deterrent well into the future. All this is in the context of the country’s unsustainable debt that could further limit defense spending. As one defense expert recently explained:

The president is looking to eliminate the last vestiges of the Reagan-era buildup. Once the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are “ended” (not “won”), the arms control treaties signed, and defense budgets held at historic lows while social entitlements and debt service rise to near-European levels, the era of American superpower will have passed.

The truth is this: by his actions we see a president who seems to be much more comfortable with an American military that isn’t quite so dominant and who feels the need to apologize for America when he travels overseas. Could it be a lack of faith in American exceptionalism? The fact is that America and our allies are safer when we are a dominant military superpower – whether President Obama likes it or not.

Gates Says NY Times is Wrong

The NY Times ran a story today saying that U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates wrote a memo some time ago saying the Obama Administration lacked a policy to thwart Iran.

Tonight, Gates issued a statement…

“The New York Times sources who revealed my January memo to the National Security Advisor mischaracterized its purpose and content. With the Administration’s pivot to a pressure track on Iran earlier this year, the memo identified next steps in our defense planning process where further interagency discussion and policy decisions would be needed in the months and weeks ahead. The memo was not intended as a “wake up call” or received as such by the President’s national security team. Rather, it presented a number of questions and proposals intended to contribute to an orderly and timely decision making process. There should be no confusion by our allies and adversaries that the United States is properly and energetically focused on this question and prepared to act across a broad range of contingencies in support of our interests. “

Mark Steyn: Obama's nuke summit dangerously delusional

Intel Source Speaks on Iranian Nukes

1) The Iranian Nuclear program is not a civilian program with a military potential. It is a pure military program thinly cloaked as a civilian one for the purpose of delaying international pressure.

2) Iran already has the capability to make a bomb. When they will do it is, “mainly a political question.”

3) The nuclear program is vulnerable to air strikes.

Ed Ross: Having a Hard Time Understanding Obama's Nuke Strategy

By Doug Brady

In the past several days, we have posted on Obama's misguided change in 60 years of nuclear strategy and subsequent walk back after Governor Palin called him out on it. Today Ed Ross, an expert on international defense policies, weighed in on the recent kerfuffle in an article at the Daily Caller:

The Cold war is long over and the global strategic situation has changed. Nevertheless, Palin, conservatives like Krauthammer and Bolton, and the majority of Americans understand that human nature hasn’t changed. The more uncertainty in the minds of our enemies about how we will respond to any attack, the more likely we are to deter one.

As Palin’s playground comment suggests, let’s not tempt our adversaries to use any weapon of mass destruction against us, potentially killing hundreds of thousands of Americans, and force an American president to sacrifice thousands more to retaliate using only conventional means.

Liberals may want to reconsider the conservatives-are-stupid argument. It has worked for them in the past, before the days of cable television, the internet, Twitter, and the Tea Party movement. It’s far less effective now, when people no longer have to rely on the mainstream media for information, and they have multiple means of validating their common sense. Then again, perhaps conservatives should encourage them to keep it up and let them discover what happens in November when they keep calling conservatives (40 percent of American voters) idiots.

Jim Hoft: Obama Retreats on Nuke Plan

Today, the Obama Administration retreated from their previous nuclear plan. Hillary Clinton told CBS that “all bets are off” when it comes to biological weapons:

... “We were concerned about the biological weapons,” Gates said, “and that’s why the president was very clear … if we see states developing biological weapons that we begin to think endanger us or create serious concerns, that he reserves the right to revise this policy.”

Clinton added, “If we can prove that a biological attack originated in a country that attacked us, then all bets are off.”

Apparently, the former governor knows more about nuclear deterrence than the community organizer after all.

This round goes to Palin.

The Systematic Dismantling of a Secure America

By Janet Levy

Fast-forward to April 6, 2010, when Barack Obama informed the world that the United States would no longer function as a global superpower buttressed by nuclear weapons as a deterrence to war. With one unanticipated public statement from the putative leader of the free world, the security held by the doctrine of Mutually Assured Destruction vanished from the American arsenal, and confidence in America's ability to defend its citizens vaporized. Obama's proclamation of unilateral nuclear disarmament nullified America's willingness and ability to defend itself and its allies at a critical juncture in history when worldwide nuclear proliferation abounds.

It Is Not the Bomb, but Who Has It [Victor Davis Hanson]

The problem is not necessarily bombs per se (e.g., We don't lose sleep over a nuclear France or Britain), but who has them. Those nations who possess nuclear weapons — even if some are undemocratic, such as a prosperous exporter like China — and go to these sort of conferences are not those who are most likely to use them preemptively, in contrast to an Iran or North Korea or radical Islamic group. By directing efforts against the means, rather than those who employ them, we may well direct attention from the real problem — sort of like the distraught state regulator who goes after the head-nodding, law-abiding citizen for his misdemeanor because he knows well he can do nothing much about the felonies of the dangerous criminal.

Obama's Nuclear Posturing, Part Deux

by Charles Krauthammer

But this one? What was this great convocation about? To prevent the spread of nuclear material into the hands of terrorists. A worthy goal, no doubt. Unfortunately, the two greatest such threats were not even on the agenda.

The first is Iran, which is frantically enriching uranium to make a bomb, and which our own State Department identifies as the greatest exporter of terrorism in the world.

Nor on the agenda was Pakistan's plutonium production, which is adding to the world's stockpile of fissile material every day.

“Obama Doctrine”: APOLOGIZE for America, ABANDON our allies & APPEASE our enemies

Obama Views Palin as a Threat!

Interestingly, the President chose to respond. Fox News reports he said, “Last I checked, Palin’s not an expert on nukes,” Obama told ABC News. “If the secretary of defense and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff are comfortable, I’ll take my advice from them and not Sarah Palin.”

Sounds like Palin got the President in a huff today. He says Palin’s no expert… as if Barack Obama somehow IS an expert on Nukes!

He still hasn’t grown up and realized he actually is the President of the United States. Be above this stuff, don’t even respond to this. Doing so demonstrates he perceives Palin to be a real threat to him in 2012. He thinks she is a big enough threat, that her comments cannot go without a response.

ON NUCLEAR STRATEGERY SARAH PALIN SAYS “JUMP!” AND BARACK OBAMA ASKS “HOW HIGH?”

Gary P.

At this point is there really any question who the actual leader of the free world is? Time and time again we see Obama do something really stupid, and dangerous, only to have Sarah Palin call him on it. This is usually followed by a war of words, with Obama’s media partners coming to his aid, but it always ends the same way. Obama is forced to capitulate, publicly.

We are all familiar with the latest dangerous idea from our rookie President. Out of the blue Obama decided to tell the world using our nuclear weapons, even if attacked, was off the table. He went on to say that even if we were attacked with weapons of mass destruction, we would not respond in kind.

Letter to the ADL

I am very disappointed in Abe Foxman slanderous and libelous comments against the Tea Party. There was no racist comment directed at anyone at the Washington Protest against the Health Care Bill. A $100,000 reward was offered for anyone who had proof of such comments and none has claimed the reward despite all the video taken that day. Anyone who makes such a claim is lying.

Happy Birthday Trig

The ones I feel sorry for are the haters in this world who posted those nasty comments about TRIG. These people contribute nothing but hate and makes this world a dangerous place. Trig brings love to this world and makes this world a better place to live. I rather have more Trigs and less of these haters.

Happy Second Birthday, Trig Palin

By Adrienne Ross

Unfortunately, some people--and I use the term lightly--have decided to post disgusting comments where the governor has posted Trig's picture. How do they live with themselves? Yet some of these same people will whine and complain that we're the ones promoting hate. They will reap what they have sown.

Thank God most people are leaving loving well-wishes for Trig, and I added my own.
