Sarah Palin's latest “in your face” to the Obama administration in defense of the tea party is guaranteed to infuriate the left and terrify the timid on our side. Sarah said, “If we were real domestic terrorists, shoot, Obama would want to pal around with us, wouldn't he?”Wow! I looovvvvve this woman! Compare Palin's kahonies to those of Republican presidential candidate, Jon Huntsman. Huntsman encouraged Republicans to surrender to Obama during the debt ceiling battle. Get this folks, as a contender for the White House, Huntsman said he will not attack Obama. How absurd is that? Huntsman's going into the...

As I left the store, a blue shirted elderly woman sporting a warm smile said, “Thank you for shopping at Walmart.” For some reason, it struck me, “Wow, all this was started by one man, Sam Walton”. I caught a bit of the Walmart story while flipping through the channels a few days earlier. Walton's wife said, “We were finally out of debt and living comfortably. But, that was not enough for Sam. He had an idea for a new store”. A businessman on the TV program said, “I liked Sam. So, when he showed me his new store, I...

Some of you side with the establishment Republicans, “Let's compromise with the Democrats regarding raising the debt ceiling. Then, the media can not blame us for causing a government shutdown”. I side with the Tea Party, “Why surrender to Obama, Reed and company? The media is going to portray us as mean-spirited heartless Republicans no matter what we do. So, let's stand on principle and do what is best for America”. I think back to seventh grade, waiting for our school bus; Butterball and Zaggy. Butterball was a big kid and very gentle. Zaggy was smaller, but very mean and...

Hi Patriots. Please meet Tina Sims, a true patriot living in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Tina wrote me the following note. “I started PICKET ACROSS AMERICA because I am scared. I am a 47 year old female, unemployed for a year and a half. I am so angry I feel like I'm screaming on the inside. I love this great country and feel an overwhelming desire to defend her. I am asking every American Citizen of all political parties to stop what they are doing at 9am on Sept 17th; step outside and hold a picket sign that reads, "CAN YOU HEAR...

I'm sorry guys. Every time you flood me with emails attempting to convince me Palin can not win; is too toxic, not smart enough, a hypocrite and is only in it for the money, the courageous woman boldly does another extraordinary interview that makes me stand up and cheer, “Sarah Palin, you go girl! I love you!”On the Hannity show, Palin launched another “in your face” attack on Obama, the GOP and the liberal media. I LOVE IT! http://fxn.ws/cxt8dv Nothing frustrates me more than GOP candidates walking on eggs cautious not to offend or anger the despicable, lying, agenda driven...

Just when we think the liberal media's hypocrisy could not be more blatant, they kick it to the next level. They have obviously abandoned any pretense of fair and honest reporting. OK, we get it. Their template is “Conservatives suck”, kill them “politically”. Minorities are “angels”, victims of a racist America controlled by rich white guys.Folks, if you understand this mindset, you understand the liberal media's coverage of the Tea Party and their blatant ignoring of racism coming from the Left. And let me just say this. Not only does the liberal media and the Left ignore black racism, they...

The liberal media is either stupid, insane or totally in the tank for Obama. My gut tells me it is the latter. Folks, America is in deep trouble. The liberal media's blind all consuming idolatry of the first black president trumps national security, our economy and America itself. I'm talkin' off the chain Obama-mania. In the eyes of the liberal media, it is ALL about Obama, mm, mm, mm. How else can you explain Obama presenting his budget which continues to spend trillions we do not have, while almost in the same breath, proclaiming we must live within our means...

While minding my own business reading emails, I was included with numerous recipients receiving a holiday greeting email from a dear black relative. The email reminded us that the holidays are a great time to be “thankful for” the “blessing” of having Obama as president. The email oozed with syrupy over-the-top praise of Obama including his, (and I quote), “room-lighting” smile. Remarkably ill-informed and distorted, the email listed every item of Obama's hostile takeover of our country as blessings to be “thankful for” (http://blackwaterdog.wordpress.com/2010/11/25/im-greatful-2/)Fighting my gag reflex and not wanting to make waves, I was about to simply delete the...

One of the TV networks aired their America's Ten Most Fascinating People of the Year Special. Kim Kardashian was one of the people selected. Nothing against this young lady, but what has Kim Kardashian done other than being Kim Kardashian to be bestowed the high honor of a place on the list of ten most fascinating individuals in the country? I remember the old days when fame did not come so cheaply; one had to achieve something unique. I have decided to offer my “Top Ten Most Fascinating Tea Party Individuals/Groups of the Year”. Number ten on my list are...

A common theme of this election season is ordinary people who are extraordinary first time candidates birthed out of the Tea Party Movement. In my national travels on Tea Party Express, I have encountered several great conservative first timers.Margie Patchett running for Volusia County Council at Large, Florida is extremely high on my list of national quality candidates. The Orlando Sentinel named Margie Patchett the Tax-Reform Crusader. Margie has been fighting for us, We The People, for years. Google her; 25 pages documenting Margie’s efforts confronting the out of control and wasteful spending; and offering smart common sense solutions to...

Hi Folks, Tea Party singer/songwriter, entertainer and speaker, Lloyd Marcus reporting in after performing with Glenn Beck at Great Adventure in New Jersey. The rally was awesome. I have attended over two hundred tea parties touring on Tea Party Express. I am continually impressed by the caliber and number of first time candidates across America running for public office; ordinary people stepping up to help take back our country. One such patriot is 'fire ball', Anna Little running for Congress, 6th district, New Jersey. Wow, what a bright, enthusiastic and dynamic conservative candidate. This awesome woman is a go getter....

I recently caught the last five minutes of Rocky, the classic movie starring Sylvester Stallone. During the finale, Championship Boxing Exhibition, Rocky, the extreme underdog amateur, was knocked down several times by powerful punches from the reigning champion. Upon being knocked down yet again, Rocky's coach instructed, "Stay down!" I thought, that is exactly what many family and friends, who love us, advise when the goin' gets tough: "Quit. Give up on your dream." Like such family and friends, Rocky's well-intentioned coach did not get it. Instinctively, Rocky knew he had to get back up, or he would never be...

Black Tea Party singer/speaker, Lloyd Marcus reporting in from performing at the Wake Up America Tea Party in Ft Worth,Texas at the convention center. Ann Coulter rocked the house with an awesome speech after my presentation. Folks our tea party movement is alive and well in Texas. In typical Lone Star style, Texans are bold and fired up about making positive change in our country starting in November. Texans are about family, God, country and freedom. I love it! Several thousands attend the great event. After the tea party, reception and etc, I was chillin' in my hotel room. Channel...

I sang at the Tea Party Express press conference in Delaware supporting Christine O'Donnell, Constitutional Republican for U.S. Senate. O'Donnell is a “real deal” Tea Party movement candidate; create more jobs, cut spending & debt, lower taxes and protecting our core values. However, I was struck by the number of tea party groups, volunteers and ordinary concerned citizens who showed up in support of O'Donnell. It confirmed that despite the media's attempts to convince us that the energy of the tea party movement is unsustainable, the movement is stronger than ever and growing. Here is a shout out to just...

Alleged civil rights leaders, including Rev. Al Sharpton and NAACP President Benjamin Jealous, are having a cow because Glenn Beck had the audacity to schedule his "Restoring Honor" rally on August 28th on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. It is the same date and location of Dr. Martin Luther King's famous "I Have a Dream" speech 47 years ago. These are the same hypocritical so-called black leaders who demanded that white America honor the memory of the civil rights icon with MLK Boulevards across America. But when a "white boy" chooses to embrace Dr. King's vision and dream by...

Tea Party Express asked me to join them in Alaska to assist in their final push for conservative Joe Miller for U.S. Senate. I sang and spoke at rallies in Wasilla, Fairbanks and Anchorage, Alaska.The weather in Alaska was mild, mid 60s. It was my first time in Alaska and enjoying sourdough pancakes with reindeer sausage. I was most impressed with the people I met who attended the rallies. Most were families, large families averaging from three to eight kids. The ages of the children at the rallies were from infants to 17. They were well behaved, bright, poised and...

The National Press Club in Washington DC was the scene of an historic event, August 4, 2010. For the first time in U.S. history, black conservative leaders from across America gathered for a national press conference. Their purpose was three fold. One, to rebuke the NAACP's resolution accusing the tea parties of being racist. Two, to introduce themselves to America. Three, to dispel the myth that black conservatives are as rare as Bigfoot sightings.I am Lloyd Marcus, the press conference organizer and spokesperson of Tea Party Express which hosted the event. Constantly, I am confronted by the liberal mainstream media,...

Tea Partiers Easily Put On The Defensive. Stop it! It is truly unfortunate that some on our side are so easily put on the defensive. NAACP, president, Ben Jealous slandered millions of decent Tea Party patriots by saying we tolerate racists signs. We do not. Not one liberal mainstream media outlet demand that Jealous produce the “Lynch Barack Obama” and “Lynch Eric Holder” signs he claimed to have seen. Thus, the liberal media are saying these violent racist signs exist and the tea partiers are guilty simply because Jealous says so. Furthering their efforts to discredit the tea party movement...

I'm re-reading a book I read several years ago titled "Beyond Defeat" by a wonderful black civil rights pioneer, James E. Johnson. To quote Johnson, "...there are only two things that motivate people: One is fear, and the other is love". In the early 50s, Johnson's journey as a civil rights trail blazer began when he became the first black U.S. Marine Corps NCO (Non-commissioned officer). Johnson went to see a movie at the "on base" movie theater and sat in the section reserved for staff NCOs. An MP asked Johnson to move because he was not a white NCO....
