Forwarded to IPR by Don Lake:

Last night was a fantastic night for America.

Record turnouts all over the country…a decided swing from the Progressive Democrats in the direction of the (mostly) Progressive Republicans.

There were a few that made it in, though, that might not play ball…Rand Paul from Kentucky, just might not work so well with the Big Government ruling class, and Jim Demint has proven he is willing to buck the status quo.… Read more ...

Most people don’t realize that if the FBI comes to your home without a warrant but as part of a criminal investigation and asks you what color underwear you have on, you better either refuse to answer or tell them the truth – regardless of whether the color of your underwear has anything to do with the case or not.… Read more ...

Absolutely the best article of the last decade regarding the bipartisan ruling elite of the United States. It’s a long article (long enough to even warrant a booklet), and worth a full read from beginning to end.

When the government fears the people there is liberty; when the people fear the government there is tyranny.

~ Thomas Jefferson

In May 2009, a little over a year ago I wrote a cathartic article expressing my profound disappointment in the Republican Party titled: “I Can No Longer Remain in the GOP.” (http://www.wnd.com/index.php/index.php?fa=PAGE.printable&pageId=98936) Although I had been a Republican for 21 years since my grad school days at Harvard (ironically during the same time Barack Obama was there) what became the straw that broke the camel’s back for me was when I heard McCain aggressively state that the man he was running against (Barack Obama) would make an outstanding president and that conservatives out there who thought otherwise was just plain wrong.

One extreme is calling for limiting Miranda rights for terrorist suspects. The other claims Miranda rights should apply to anyone who runs afoul of our laws; whether in this country or on a foreign battlefield. Oddly enough, in yet another impressive display of White House Amateur Hour, the Obama administration has occupied both sides of the debate.… Read more ...

In case anyone wasn’t clear exactly why the Virginia Conservative Party only endorsed ONE candidate in the Statewide elections in November of 2009, this should help clear it up:
