What The Outraged Left Doesn’t Understand About Sarah Palin’s Appeal – And What That Reveals About Them

February 9, 2010 | Leave a Comment

Handgate exposes the vile rage of the Ugly American Left, as they once again use personal attacks against the woman they fear – Sarah Palin, calling her stupid for having 3 notes written on her hand during a Q&A session at the 1st National Tea Party convention in Nashville.

Some outraged lefties are taking issue with our labeling of them as “outraged”. They insist they are merely laughing at her because she is so stupid.

Call it what you will, but hurling vicious personal attacks at someone in an attempt to denigrate them and their supporters doesn’t come from a happy place.

February 9, 2010 | 3 Comments

Andrew Breitbart is a media revolutionary. This is not a dramatic statement. It’s a reasoned conclusion based on Breitbart’s dramatic statements made during his keynote address to the 1st National Tea Party convention in Nashville, TN.

During Breitbart’s 33 minute long address, he threatens to upend the entire media establishment, calling them out on their hypocrisy while demanding they change their ways, or else.

The entire speech is available in this post and is broken down into four parts, but if you would like to view some of the highlights, you can click on any of the eight links below:

Founding Bloggers In Investors Business Daily

February 8, 2010 | 1 Comment

It turns out that last week, Founding Bloggers made an appearance in the opinion section of Investors Business Daily:

Leaders: The champion of Polish freedom tells America it’s no longer that shining city on a hill. As it slouches toward socialism, he warns, those yearning to breathe free in the world can no longer look to the U.S. for help.

They were the giants of their age. Together, President Ronald Reagan, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, Pope John Paul II and a little known shipyard worker named Lech Walesa stood up to Soviet communism and brought freedom to the captive nations of Europe.

Last Friday, Walesa was in Chicago campaigning for a GOP gubernatorial candidate in the Illinois primary who happened to be Polish. Arguably the father of Polish democracy, Walesa knows a little bit about tyranny, socialism and the slippery path to both, and came to warn us about the path we’ve been on.

In a press conference, Walesa commented on an America that seemingly apologizes for everything these days, cajoles rather than confronts the thugs of the world and is embarked on a path to shackle beyond redemption the free economy that led the Free World to victory.

He no longer thinks we are the last best hope for mankind.

“The United States is only one superpower. Today they lead the world. Nobody has doubts about it, militarily,” the Polish leader said. “They also lead economically, but they’re getting weak.

“But they don’t lead morally and politically anymore. The world has no leadership. The United States was always the last resort and hope for all other nations. There was the hope, whenever something was going wrong, one could count on the United States. Today, we lost that hope.”

Walesa led the Solidarity movement in Poland. He was in a sense a community organizer, but not in the mold of a Saul Alinsky. He sought to liberate his people, not control them.

The marches and protests that led to Polish freedom were a precursor to America’s tea party movement that likewise seeks to throw off the chains of a command-and-control society and restore genuine economic and political freedom.

The Soviet empire had its commissars. Our government has its czars, and Walesa definitely feels the America that was his friend is moving in the wrong direction. He sees our quest for redistribution of income as not different from the Marxist credo — from each according to his ability, to each according to his need.

In a video-taped interview, Walesa saw a hint of socialism creeping into America’s domestic policies. He spoke of “the issue with the banks” and how “the government wastes all the money … building a bureaucracy — just for itself.”

Indeed, it seems the only growth sector in the U.S. is its government and the unions that exist not for the prosperity and freedom of their members, but for the power and influence of their leaders.

Poland had Lech Walesa. We have the SEIU’s Andy Stern ,who says that if those who disagree with command-and-control government do not bow to the power of persuasion, they will bow to the persuasion of power.

It has been a long journey for Walesa from the Gdansk Lenin Shipyards to Chicago’s Back of the Yards. He’s the man who turned an illegal independent trade union into a force for freedom in communist Poland. He served as Poland’s president from 1990 to 1995.

He has witnessed a lot of history and knows when people refuse to learn from it.

In Walesa’s view, something needs to be done to restore America’s strength and leadership. America, in his view, is too big to fail.

We are the “video-taped interview.”

Sure, credit in print would be nice, but what can you do? If imitation is the most sincere source of flattery, what’s that make the un-sourced use of our work product?

Since we are talking about the interview, here it is:

No hard feelings here IBD. We are proud to appear on your pages in any capacity.
