I had an interesting phone call this morning that got me thinking about the state of freedom of speech in the United States.
While I acknowledge that certain limitations should, and do, apply to those freedoms commonly held as “fundamental,”[1] there was something about this phone call that I found troubling. The caller […]

One of the best parts of my job is getting to crash lefty protests.  What makes it so much fun is that the lefties that throw these protests are so far off the deep end, that it really doesn’t take much effort to show that they have absolutely no understanding of the issues.
Yesterday, we received […]

“We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.”

Yo,
As I’m sure most of us are aware, The mortgage giants Fannie and Freddie Mac will be getting a government bailout from the Federal Reserve. This precedent of bailing out ailing private companies was established just this year with the Bear Stearns bailout. There will be an additional bailout of the Housing industry itself if […]

Hey everyone. Just thought I’d stop by again and see what’s going on.

—Ronald Reagan

“That government is best that governs least.”
—Henry David Thoreau

Today’s Washington Post has a piece about the state of the young conservative movement, and it doesn’t look pretty. According to a Washington Post-ABC News poll, nearly twice as many people under the age of 30 identify themselves as Democrats as opposed to Republicans.
While the young conservatives interviewed in the […]

One of the more fun campus events is taking on the loony left directly with counter-protests. As a student at UT-Austin I did quite a bit of this. And now as the Director of Campaigns at FreedomWorks, I have more time and a bigger budget (it used to be $0) to organize crashes of leftist […]
