Tea Party Express Rolls Into D.C. for Healthcare Reform Protests When the "tea party" movement kicked off in April to protest record federal spending bills, trillion-dollar deficits and higher tax burdens, its members were fiercely independent and opposed any suggestion that they bond with a larger umbrella group, preferring to work within their local communities.

Sarah Palin: Shame on the Associated Press for Ignoring the Wishes of a Grieving Family Shame on the AP for purposely adding to the grieving family's pain. Ignoring the family's wishes by publishing a sacred image of their loved one proved a despicable and heartless act by the AP. The family said they didn't want the photo published. AP, you did it anyway, and you know it was an evil thing to do. - Satire - The now-discarded first draft of the president's speech to the nation's schoolchildren: So I need you, the littlest generation, to get onboard the Obama Love Train, and together we will right all these wrongs.

Beck: American People Stood Up to Bring Down Van Jones "The American people stood up and demanded answers," Beck wrote in a statement.

How to Defeat the Left The only way to defeat the left - and I have failed in twenty years of arguing this to persuade conservatives - is to turn the table around and attack their moral self-image.

And not a moment too soon. More czars on conservative hit list With the resignation of green jobs adviser Van Jones, the conservative firing squad is setting its sights on other White House czars. Meet the Press finds the big lesson in the Van Jones story: You can’t trust the Internet VIDEO: You have to see it to believe it. The singular lesson of the past week, after big media failed to uncover Jones’s Truther past and then actively suppressed it when it broke online, is that they can’t be trusted to chase stories that are inconvenient to The One especially if doing so would burnish Glenn Beck’s credibility. White House Not Drafting Own Bill "The White House is, however, contemplating using 'legislative language' in the president's speech on Wednesday, which pulls together the 80% they believe all of the four Congressional bills agree on.
