It's Time to Take a Stand!
Here is a great way for you to get involved in
protecting the constitution, and your second amendment
rights. As we all watch
Democrats like Dianne Feinstein try to limit our right to own and bear arms,
many have asked what can I do to make a difference? The answer is simple, go toHands Off Our Guns
today and sign the petition. This will send a strong message
to politicians on both sides of the aisle that
the American people will not
stand by and watch our rights infringed upon by those who have been
elected to
defend these very rights. Certainly the recent tragedies have added an
emotional element to
this debate, but the United States Constitution is not
about emotion. The second amendment is about
self protection from criminal
elements, and tyranny. Join the fight today, and show Washington that we
will
not stand for this!

Wisconsin Veterans Benefit from Conservative Policies
By Don Smith
Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker CPAC Speech
multitude of problems. Perhaps the biggest challenge he faced was a projected budget deficit of $3.6
billion dollars. In a state where property taxes had been rising for several consecutive years, Governor
Walker was forced to find a solution that didn’t place an even heavier burden directly on to homeowners.
Part of his solution was the passage of the landmark “budget repair bill,” that created a firestorm of
controversy around the country. While the big unions were lamenting how the bill
was aimed at hurting the
middle class by restricting the ability to bargain
collectively, the end result was that many public sector union
members were now
required to contribute more towards their own pensions and healthcare benefits.
In many
cases these employees are still only contributing at a rate which is half
the national average of their counterparts
in the private sector.And now after the dust has settled, the recall elections a distant memory, Wisconsin veterans
are beginning to reap the benefits of this fiscally conservative approach to solving the states financial woes.
of his new budget proposal. These expenditures are aimed at helping Wisconsin veterans find employment,
improve educational opportunities, and hire 110 full-time direct care staff at the King Veterans’ Home. In 2012
the Governor told the residents of his state “The freedoms we hold dear were endowed by our Creator and
upheld by our constitution, but it is the members of our Armed Forces – past and present – who protect those
freedoms each day. We are eternally grateful.” Those words are now being backed by strong action.
Live Coverage From CAPC
The Conservative Political Action Conference
If
you missed our live coverage of the 2013 CPAC conference, simply visit the show
archives tab for great
interviews with Col. Allen West, Wisconsin Governor
Scott Walker, NRA President David Keene, FreedomWorks
CEO Matt Kibbe, publisher/editor
Crystal Wright, and many other leading conservatives.
The
Conservative Political Action Conference is hosted by the American Conservative
Union Foundation. Since
it’s inception in 1971, CPAC has hosted some of the
biggest names in the conservative movement, and this
year was no different.
This year’s event showed an enthusiastic youth
movement, along with a strong push for diversity within the
of the current efforts that prove you don’t have to sacrifice conservative
principles in order to increase
minority numbers. There were a total of 11 black conservatives who were
featured on stage at this year’s event. Of
course one of the biggest aspects of
CPAC is the straw poll. This year the winner was Senator Rand Paul who
certainly got a boost for his filibuster just prior to the conference.
The Use of the "Bully Pulpit"
utilized to push forward an agenda, the phrase has taken on a far more sinister meaning under the
Barack Obama administration. Certainly presidents have used their position as the leader of the free world
to advocate policies even before there was an official idiom for the process, but as recent guest Ben Shapiro
stated on my program a few weeks ago, “Barack Obama has taken bullying to a whole new level.”
Who could forget the whole issue surrounding the release of the birth certificate? Even if you take the core
issue of whether or not he was born in America out of the equation, the issue was utilized as a way to
demonize those who felt that the release of this document was a reasonable request. That belief immediately
Facebook, take this: Tea Party Community site launches as an alternative
Tea Party Community is being
launched by Ken Crow, and his partners Tim Selaty Jr., and Tim Selaty Sr.,
who
are responding to recent complaints of censorship being levied against Facebook by
members who post
conservative-leaning content.
Just two weeks ago my friend,
actress and comedian Victoria Jackson,
was banned by Facebook for making a
remain intact, even after many users reported it. So how
can conservatives feel comfortable expressing
themselves on a social platform
that appears to only allow free speech from those with whom they agree?
Perhaps they can’t. Crow and his
partners seem to have created a new platform where conservatives and Tea
Party
members will be able to express their thoughts without the fear of being
temporarily suspended, or even
banned permanently in some cases.

Steven Crowder on Marriage
A man's top 5 reasons to
grow up and get married
Six months ago, I wrote a column
here at FoxNews regarding the fact that my wife and I made the choice to
wait
until marriage. Some people claimed offense. As per usual, I’m okay with that.
Here’s why; I’m
pro-marriage. I always have been, always will be and I’ll make no apologies for
it. As a matter
of fact, most of you should be apologizing to me. Yeah, I said
it. Whether you're one with a successful marriage
who's remained silent on its myriad
virtues, or merely a single, lonely critic...
America, you've got some 'splaining
to do.
Sadly, marriage has become
a punchline in today’s society. From referring to the wife as “the old ball and
chain”
to nearly every poorly written sitcom that we watch, the message we’re
sending to today’s generation is
clear… Marriage = no fun.
Steven Crowder joined me
on the show recently to discuss this, and all the latest political news.
Dealing With the Unemployed Veterans Issue
While the veteran
unemployment rate has failed to improve, one organization is working hard at
helping our
military heroes. All American Veterans is a new organization that
is offering veterans an opportunity to start
new businesses. If this sounds
like an incredible concept to you, former Secretary of Veterans Affairs Jim
Nicholson would agree. Don Smith discussed this new organization with Mr.
Nicholson at the Republican
National Convention.
Since the convention, this organization is now
in full operation, and has just started the first fundraising event in
the
month of January. Perhaps the only organization that pays no salaries, AAVS ensures
that 100 percent of all
money donated goes directly to helping veterans. In
addition to this being a tax deductable donation, you can
also win great
prizes, like several autographed items from Ted Nugent, to books by several
award winning
authors. There are also $50 gift certificates from organizations
such as Pro-Flowers, Cherry Moon Farms, and
many others. Do something nice for
a veteran today, make a contribution to start a veteran live their own

Major Garrett on Leaving Fox News |
 |
|
|
Immediately following the Paul Ryan speech at the RNC, I walked back to the convention center with Major Garrett, formerly of Fox News. Major was excited about the Ryan speech, saying it “was the best convention speech he’s ever heard.” After we finished talking about the evening’s line-up, I asked why he left Fox News. Mr. Garrett said that he truly wanted to go back to his “true love,” of covering the news as a writer. Although he enjoyed his time at Fox, Major says he is as happy as he’s ever been to be working at The National Journal. He also stated that it was really nice to have goin out “on top.”
If you’re wondering why this is current news,
here’s why. As you know by now, Major Garrett was named Chief Whitehouse Correspondent
for CBS News just months after this conversation. I can’t help but look back at
what seemed to be a very honest discussion and wonder how somebody could have
such a significant change of heart, in such a short period of time. It would be
hard to imagine that it was a monetary decision, but one never knows. As for
me, I’m simply going to chalk it up to just another example of why we simply
can’t trust the MSM on anything! |
