On my show tonight, one of my listeners came up with an acronym for the Coffee Party movement, which also happens to be the title of this article.

Commentators like Rachel Maddow just don’t get it. They view the TEA Party movement as something it is not. Liberals like Rachel don’t like it when Sovereign individuals speak out on the issues of the day. They don’t like it when citizens band together and exercise their right to redress grievances they have with the government. And not made up grievances either! We the People are fed up with what is happening to our country. The Federal government is constitutionally too big, they spend more money than they take in, and then want to tax the American people even more to pay for it!

Constitution Party 2008 Presidential Candidate  
As far as grassroots activism goes, the surge in Tea Parties across America
is one of the more encouraging developments to recently take place. It
reminds me of the "Conservative Revolution" of 1994, when the GOP reclaimed
both the US Senate and House of Representatives. At that time, it had been
over 40 years since the Republican Party controlled both the US House and
Senate. And, between the two, the House victories were the most significant.

Spurred mostly by the election of Bill Clinton in 1992, a host of young,
energetic freshman Republicans marched into Washington, D.C., determined to
return a burgeoning and out-of-control federal leviathan to the
constitutional precepts of limited government. I’m talking about
then-freshman House members such as Helen Chenoweth, Steve Largent, Bob
Barr, Joe Scarborough, Sonny Bono, John Shadegg, J.C. Watts, etc. These
young conservatives went to Washington, D.C., determined to reduce the
growth and size of the federal government.

This retired attorney and constitutional law instructor read the entire health care bill and has some comments, not about the bill, but about the effects on our Constitution. It's a broader picture than just health care reform.

All of you and those to whom you communicate had better sit up and pay attention; once this sort of thing happens, it will be irreversible.

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE HEALTHCARE BILLS

Well, I have done it! I have read the entire text of proposed House Bill 3200: The Affordable Health Care Choices Act of 2009. I studied

it with particular emphasis from my area of expertise constitutional law. I was frankly concerned that parts of the proposed law that were being discussed might be unconstitutional. What I found was far worse than what I had heard or expected.

Speculation has been flying around about whom John McCain will pick as VP?  And pundits have been saying that he needs to pick someone that is more like Ronald Reagan so he can capture more of the conservative Republican vote. 

            Even though Ronald Reagan was the first president I voted for, and he was the most conservative politician to come down the pike for a long time, we still should not compare our politicians today to any politician of the past.  Why?  Because the bar set by politicians keep changing.  The Republican Party is no longer the home of true conservatives and Ronald Reagan would not recognize it today as the same party he fought for through the 70’s and into the 80’s.  The reason I’m picking on the Republican Party and not the Democrat Party is, the Democrat Party left conservatism behind around Woodrow Wilson’s presidency and never looked back.  The Republican Party for many years had touted that they where the home of conservatism and the ideas of smaller government.
