Close the Floodgates
The Heritage Foundation today has a good good piece on the attempt for a second stimulus and the extreme growth of government taking place. Rather than recreate a similar article, I thought I would share some highlights: Anticipating this bleak job news, the President announced in his State of the Union address last week: “That is why…
Read MoreBuilding Your Tribe
My Uncle/Mentor/Entrepreneurial Advisor, Matt Miller, sent me a copy of Seth Godin’s “Tribes” for me to read about a year ago. With it being at the beginning of my last college semester, the book sat idle on my desk for a few days, but once I picked it up I had difficulty putting it down.…

Tea Parties Vs. OFA
Organizing for America was advertised as the nucleus of the progressive wave supposedly sweeping America. OFA was to have the capacity to organize, motivate, and deploy liberal drones throughout the country. They would utilize the passion stirred up from the 2008 presidential election, mobilizing campaign volunteers into policy advocates. Yet, everything we have seen is…

Two weeks ago, the nation witnessed the election of Scott Brown over Martha Coakley in the race for the Massachusetts Senate seat previously held by Ted Kennedy for like 57 years. With this result still fresh on my mind, over the last few days I have attempted an impossible undertaking. My mission? Figure out exactly…
Read MoreBig Media + Big Gov = Big Love
It has become increasingly clear to most Americans that the mainstream media is courting the current White House with the intensity of a 17-year-old boy. As I flip through the major networks, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and MSNBC, it becomes painfully clear that there is an agenda they want to see pushed. When the president…
Read MoreStatism of the Union
So tonight we get to hear the State of the Union, and it will no doubt follow the usual storyline of glossing over the bad, highlighting the good (if there is any?), but in the end not really providing us an honest evaluation of where we stand right now, January 27, 2010. With all that…
Read MoreThe Tea Partiers and the Continental Army
I’m going to make another comparison between the current tea party movement and the Founding of this nation. We all know about Valley Forge, and the trials and tribulations George Washington and the Continental Army faced during that brutal winter with the cold, sickness, and lack of food. What is not as well known is…
Read MoreA Leaderless Revolution?
I think it’s clear that what we’re seeing is something new in politics with the tea party movement, and especially with what took place last night in Massachusetts. It’s not about people choosing this party or that party, nor is it just about the anger of independents. It’s people looking for leadership that will actually…
Read MoreTea Party Comes Full Circle
By now, most of you know the news: Scott Brown has won Massachusetts’s special election for Ted Kennedy’s seat. Although his platform was one of transcendence and accountability, the fact still remains that Brown is a Republican. A Republican in a seat that had been a liberal shade of blue for over three decades. One…
Read MoreProblem with the 10th Amendment (Part 2)
For Part 1 of this article, please click here. It did not take long for disagreements to ensue between the states and federal government. Quite contrary to Madison’s prediction, the lines of jurisdiction between the state governments and the national government became increasingly blurred. The country quickly divided into camps officially known as Federalists and…
Read MoreSome Other Books I Read in 2009
One of the best bits of advice I got when I was younger was that, “Readers are leaders, and leaders are readers.” I send the AM staff a book a quarter that I feel will help them become better at what they do. 1. The Politically Incorrect Guide to Capitalism by Robert Murphy. A quick…

This year, American Majority will be launching its Patriot 2.0 training program, Gulp….. As we trained around the country last year, the same questions and comments were being made, “Can the government track me through Facebook?” (“Ma’am, your life is not that interesting.”) and “I don’t use social media because it’s for Liberals!” (“Sir, with…

Problem with the 10th Amendment (Part 1)
This is the first of two blog entries on the Tenth Amendment: If you follow the news at all, you’ve probably heard accounts of state legislators, governors, members of Congress, Tea Party groups, and others call for a return to the principles of limited government. Most recently, these fires have been stoked by the health…

Read MoreWhy You Should Support American Majority
There are a lot of groups out there these days trying to get off the ground purported doing the Lord’s work for the advancement of freedom. Not all of them make it. Some of them are questionable. I pray very hard these days for God to give me some sense of discernment between the groups…
