Stop the Haters: FreedomWorks responds

In light of GeicoGate and the recent accusations from the media regarding the violent rhetoric of the conservative movement, I’ve taken the liberty of editing together the voicemails and emails we’ve received as a result of DC Douglas’ call to contact FreedomWorks. Here’s the result. WARNING: This is intense. Violent language is an understatement. I […]

 



Rachel Maddow incites violence

Crossposted from TabithaHale.com We recently received this call from an “anonymous source”, if you will. Sheer brilliance. Click to listen.: Do it. Now. Some money quotes: “Be careful what you wish for – the right to bear arms means that everyone: can bear arms.” “We will be fighting you to the death.” “I’m so glad that I […]

 


Are we fighting a losing battle?

I came to DC almost 7 months ago. Sometimes it feels like an eternity. Sometimes it feels like I’m still not really here… like I’m just visiting a place I never really wanted to be in the first place. I hate Washington, DC and what it represents. I walked through this city as a tourist […]

 


In Defense of Dan Riehl…

Here’s the deal. Dan wrote a: post about Harry Ried that has lefty panties in a wad. What did he say? I’m not sure I quite understand this, given that cost is so important as a burden to taxpayers when it comes to: health care. If: Democrats want so badly to abort babies because of it, why are […]

Live from Haiti: Blancs in Citae

Yesterday we went to a small village called Citae outside of Jacmel. The journey there was an adventure in and of itself — there really aren’t any roads by American standards, more like paths wide enough for a car to get through. We drove through 3 rivers to get there, passing huts filled with women […]

 

Live from Haiti: More on sisters of Charity.

Yesterday morning was spent at the Sisters of Charity orphanage in Jacmel, Haiti. I was told going in that they follow the “Mother Teresa” model — in other words, they only take the poorest of the poor and the sickest of the sick. We were going specifically to hold babies. The babies we were visiting […]

 




Haiti: How you can help.

Posted from TabithaHale.com. If you follow me on Twitter or are a Facebook friend, you know how completely obsessive I’ve been about the disaster in Haiti. I have been watching every news report I can find and have wept over photos. I want nothing more than to get on a plane and go down there. […]

 

2010: Year of the Citizen

So here we are in 2010. I’ll be the first to say that I am not the least bit sorry to say goodbye. As painful and crazy as it was – both personally and politically – it was in many ways the start of something bigger than I could have imagined… as well as a […]

Bo-Tax: Why This Is A Problem

Deep in the bowels of the health care monstrosity being rammed down our throats, there is a provision that will add a 5% tax on a “cosmetic surgery and medical procedures.”:  The $849 cost of this bill, which Democrats in Congress have done such a brilliant job of ignoring thus far, has to be paid […]

 


Coburn wants the bill read from the Senate floor. All of it. UPDATE: Coburn backing off.

Crossposted at TabithaHale.com. UPDATE: After making the threat earlier this week, Coburn said, “I don’t know” when POLITICO asked if he would force a reading by Senate clerks on the floor. With his colleagues eager to go home for the Thanksgiving break, it’s possible that Coburn may backoff. Thanks, Coburn. The 2,074-page Senate health care […]
