I have been watching CPAC speeches on You Tube, it is a lifelong dream of mine to have the time, money, and space to attend. I just watched this speech by Senator Paul. He is such a great communicator and activist!
As I watched Ted Cruzs speech yesterday and listened to Mike Lee…
I had the sense that I was witnessing a miracle.  The moneyed, connected, ruling class NEVER intended for these three men to be a part of the Senate of the USA.
No, the types of men and women who will stand up for the Constitution of the United States of America, have largely been weeded out of the two parties long before they ever have a hope of winning an election.
When these three people won their primaries in Kentucky, Texas, and Utah a collective cheer went up across America!
Hope.
Change!
Have we really turned a corner towards FREEDOM? I believe we have. It is time to CHARGE AHEAD!
Longtime readers of this blog know the great admiration I have for Whole Foods CEO John Mackey. Steve Forbes recently had a great interview with him about his new book Concious Capitalism, which is currently making Progressive heads explode all across the land.
Based on Richard A. Epstein’s new Broadside, this video outlines the differences between the classical liberalism of the Tea Parties and the progressive agenda advanced by the OWS movement, and reveals that the painful performance of the American economy in the past decade is not a function of bad luck, but the product of flawed institutional design.
We are reaping the harvest of efforts to reinvigorate the progressive programs of the New Deal that stress high progressive taxes, large transfer payments, strong labor laws, and major barriers to free trade. This combination of public finance and market regulation has proved a potent force for disaster.

“The Occupy movement seems to have dropped out of the news lately. Why did that happen? I think the people are still out there, but the coverage is mostly gone. There is this Drudge-linked AP report about campers in LA and Philadelphia getting rousted by the police. That’s a news event — cops in riot gear, people arrested — and it’s covered. What’s missing is all the attention to the demands and critiques of the protesters — the political substance of the movement.
I’m guessing that the expression of the protesters — in form and substance — wasn’t serving the interests journalists favor. Excessively left-wing speech coming out of an angry/confused/unclean face… it’s not helping the mainstream Democrats.”
Last month I dedicated Blogging Mothers Magazine to the difference between the Tea Party and the Occupy Wall Street Movement.
