I have now been to two events hosted by these guys and they are going to be making things happen. Making things happen by training Tea Partiers and others how to engage in the political system.
American Majority offers candidate and activist training while the Hancock Committee is oriented towards helping groups work together to achieve common goals.

MORE EVIDENCE THAT the energy is with the Tea Partiers, not the GOP apparatus. Of course, if that [...]

There are many men of principle in both parties in America, but there is no party of principle.
Alexis de Tocqueville
Do we have a party of principle? What are the principles?
Do we even have men of principle? What are those principles?
Are you a Big Tent Republican? Does big tent preclude principle? Reagan’s big tent philosophy is often cited as reason to avoid getting bogged down in policy debates. Or for failing to excommunicate RINO’s. Did Reagan have no principles?
I have asked here before if there is even one principle to which conservatives can agree one must be bound to be accepted into the fold. I have not yet heard the response that was more than a vague exercise in goals.
Conservatives are for [...]

Just a short flight from Becker’s anti-Ron Rant.
Hamilton proposed and oversaw the creation of the First Bank of the US.
Generally central banks in the US have been favored by proponents of a strong national government. Hamilton was also a borderline monarchist. He wanted a King-like President and he wanted the senate to be a British style House of Lords with lifetime tenure. Chuckie Schumer for life.
Though he wrote of balance of power in the Federalist Papers he consistently landed on the side of federal power once the document was ratified. Combine his opposition to the Bill of Rights with his love of federal power and he is what?
He argued against the Bill of Rights because it would contradict the notion that the powers granted were [...]

Engineers are continually adding to the body of knowledge and principles that comprise their particular art. Bridges get longer, buildings get higher, cars go faster and yet arrive with a higher degree of safety at their destinations. The medical profession uses techniques and knowledge acquired thousands of years ago. And yesterday. We live longer and healthier lives because of it. Mathematicians need not discover Pythagorean’s Theorem today any more than a carpenter need invent a hammer to build with. They are tools that have been given to us by our forefathers which when used properly allow us to do things the original inventors could never do. Pythagoras could never have built the moon lander. Without Pythagoras, neither could we.
It is on their shoulders we stand.

There were some poor, many “middle” class and a few that were filthy rich. John Hancock was likely the richest man in America at the start of the revolution. Samuel Adams was generally broke. Everyone risked all.
Total War is not only defined by what you are willing to destroy in your quest for victory but what you are willing to lose.
“The only hope you have is to accept the fact that you’re already dead. The sooner you accept that, the sooner you’ll be able to function as a soldier is supposed to function: without mercy, without compassion, without remorse. [...]

The truth is we ARE a bunch of Rubes. We continually allow these people to undermine or outright betray the country time after time in the clutch moments. Guess what, sleepers are SUPPOSED to look like us as much as possible while doing the enemies work. Yet half of those on the right defend these guys and block every attempt to purge this disease. Oh no, we can’t have standards. Or accountability. We’re a big [...]
