We must heed the call of action and, with courageous steps and humble hearts, work against tyranny.
Dana Loesch
Liberty is never fully paid off, and to be deserving of it, one must be willing to fight for it on the battlefield, in the halls of Congress, by involving yourselves in your communities. Such a struggle is not a burden, it is a privilege.
The pay gap has nothing to do with employer discrimination; it has to do with choice. Let's employ a little common sense: statistically, women are the likely of a family to forego a career for more time with the family, and maybe it's because they want to.
As a kid spending weekends in the Ozarks, I remember my granny's preacher shaking his fist, his jowls waving in the wind not unlike a bloodhound's, excoriating the congregation and condemning it to hell.
I was at St. Louis's very first tea party and stood across the mighty Mississippi on the Arch steps with a bunch of wide-eyed, virgin protesters who were just as shocked as I was to see the amount of people who had assembled.
Conservatism, when presented in full strength at the ballot, wins at the ballot.
The tea party movement sprung from plain old disenchantment, disappointment, and outright anger at being fleeced by a government who mistook their primary job as being 'spend cash mon-nay' rather than execute the Constitution.
Evil is real.
Most evangelical Christian conservatives I know would at least be uneasy about the prospect of the government picking up the slack of caring for the poor due to Christians' abdication of their role in society as dictated by Scripture.
If you cannot commit several hours per week to maintain the liberty that others afforded you, then you, by your inaction and silent voice, abet those who seek to destroy it.
It's easy to talk a good game in an echo chamber, it's easy to witness to people who think exactly the same way you do, but to test your convictions by going outside your comfort zone is where the ideological battle needs to go.
Judges are either partial to the Constitution or they aren't; they either believe that the document is perfect in its form and that rights like free speech don't ebb in and out of style - or they believe that it's an anachronistic document in a world that needs a malleable, living Constitution.
There is nothing more amusing than when two people known for being non-objective argue over objectivity. This is the summation of Keith Olbermann vs. Ted Koppell.
If actual victims of discrimination had to wait on the NAACP to see them to justice, they would never get help.
Art can be political, but when it becomes politicized, the purity is ruined.
Faith without works is dead just as a movement without works is also dead.
People always choose self-preservation over the greater good, most of the time, with the belief that self-preservation is the greater good.
Rallies, marches on Washington, protests, et al. are pointless if there is no action to make them mean something.
Palin may be a polarizing figure, but she's more than just a 'political personality.'
Elected office was never intended to become its own industry; it was to be filled with common men who, by way of still having jobs and families back home, maintained the connection to the problems of average, everyday people and thus could better serve.
Bureaucrats want you to think that the system is too complex because they want you to be stupid about it and uninterested in it. They work very hard to create as many levels as possible away from the simplistic government our Founding Fathers formed for one simple reason: they don't want you to know what they are doing.
Beta males and females historically fare poorly in anchor positions, and whoever has the dominate, or more alpha, personality will always win out in spoken word count simply because they don't wait for an opening.
Our Founding Fathers, regular men who did great things together, established this system along with other regular men.
I'm a Christian, a wife, a mother, a homeschooler, a conservative, a citizen journalist, a talk radio host, an insatiable music nerd who plays a poor rhythm guitar, a blogger, a proud granddaughter of a sailor, and a proud tea partier in awe of the potential and the people in this movement.
People like me who are here in flyover country, we're tired of East Coast moderates.
I view it as a threat to my and my family's well-being whenever anyone seeks to erode or take away my Second Amendment civil liberty.
Not passing Obamacare won't bankrupt America; passing it will.
We are a richly blessed nation; let's not squander that - one of the worst things we can do is not gratefully acknowledge our abundances.
My particular rule of thumb is to allow disruptors to let their flags fly. If they want to stage a stunt, who cares?
It's not the United States's job to 'protect' Islam.
The Gen X generation never got past 'Reality Bites,' apparently, and my generation, the Gen Yers... Facebook? Maybe a conservative revolution?
The NAACP ignores the wellspring of racism from within its own ranks, daring to brand anyone who disagrees with the standard they bear for the plantation-politics Democrats as 'white nationalists.'
As a young woman, I can say that sexist behavior so often perpetrated by the Left is a major reason why I and many other women left the Democratic party.
I think that God has blessed each of us with innate gifts, and if I've demonstrated any ability to not stick my foot in my mouth on air or in the written word, then I will take that and stand for liberty on the right side of God.
Bill O'Reilly is smooth. He's one of very few broadcasters I know who can squeeze a weeks-long news cycle from one incident and make it entertaining regardless the time stamp.
The brilliance of Andrew Breitbart is that he has created thousands of Andrew Breitbarts.
It's difficult to expect kids not to bully one another when they don't have many examples otherwise in society.
Conservatives are either stupid or brilliant. Pick a narrative, leftist MSM. You can't have it both ways.
Facing fewer subscriptions, ratings drops, et al., media is catching on: people don't want endless editorializing. They want the facts, Jack. If you're going to be op/ed, at least be up front about it.
The Left puts their stock in substance and lives on identity and figureheads. It will be the end of the Right to do the same.
The media doesn't understand conservatives at all.
We can avoid liberal candidates by filtering them out at the local level, nipping their ascension to power in the proverbial bud by assuring they don't get nominated in the first place - and we can't do that until we infiltrate the party, beginning at the most basic levels.
Evil is evil, and it doesn't discriminate by dress. Some evil people in the headlines wear designer suits and wing-tipped shoes.
Even if feminists tear down the bogeyman patriarchy and dominate men in all areas of life, they still won't be happy because deep down, they'll know it's a false victory. Achievement obtained by lowering your opponent to your standard as opposing to rising and surpassing their standard of output isn't achievement. It's mediocrity.
Though I work in broadcasting and host a daily radio show, I got my start in print journalism.
Crying white mothers are ratings gold.
The biggest threats to faith aren't anything outside of it: they come bearing the name. It's why I find it especially important to call it out - also why I find it especially repulsive when people who crow the loudest about being Christians and use it as a money-making scheme utterly betray the faith when not on camera or in a crowd.
On my show, I often discuss all the ways one can get involved politically on a local level, precincts, et al.
When the media goes state and becomes nothing more than an echo chamber for the government, the task of sharing truth falls to the original keepers of liberty: the American people.
We are all sinners.
