The highlight of every Tea Party Express tour is the extraordinary American patriots I meet. Felix is from Russia and became a proud American 16 years ago. I shared with Felix that for years I performed my original song, “Celebrate America”, at U.S. Immigration Citizenship Ceremonies. I was struck by the number of seniors tearfully taking the oath of citizenship; some so old they were in wheelchairs and some needing support by family members to stand. Why was it important for these seniors to become official U.S. citizens despite their ages? Felix, formerly a Russian, replied, “When you have lived...

Mary and I left our home in Central Florida at 5am. We flew/traveled 12 hours to hook up with the Tea Party Express bus in Oakland, CA. After a quick shower and wardrobe change, we arrived in Napa, CA where I performed at the tour launching fund raising VIP gala. Still on east coast time, I awoke at 5:30am for our 11am Napa Tea Party. Napa is absolutely beautiful. I do not drink. But, my wife Mary throughly enjoyed sampling the local wines. I was excited to meet a young Christian band called “Remnant” who was the opening act before...

Tea Party Express V national bus tour begins this Saturday in Napa, CA. As I pack my bags and organize my performance music in preparation to embark on my fifth national Tea Party Express tour, I am a bit frustrated by those still clueless about the Tea Party movement; who we are and our propose. Please excuse my frankness. Despite all the Tea Party has done to pull our country back from diving over the cliff to it's death into liberal socialistic hell, incredibly, there are still “Republicans” who think we are “fringe loonies”. If God had not sent the...

Mr. Walter Smith included me in his list of email recipients. Here is an excerpt. “Does any one know Lloyd Marcus? Since when did African Americans become so equal that they could afford to support groups that are obviously anti-Black. Does he not know that a vote against Barack Obama is a vote against all African Americans?” Dear Mr. Smith. I usually delete hate mail from the left. Because your email did not begin with the typical calling me numerous expletives and the “n” word, I will reply. I find it amazing how blind you are regarding YOUR racism. You...

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...

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...

Return to the Article May 21, 2011Sarah Palin, Leader of The PackBy Lloyd Marcus So, who do I like as our Republican presidential candidate in 2012?  Parodying the song recorded by The Shangri-Las: "The liberal media is always putting her down (down,down). They said, she came from the wrong said of town. They told us she was bad. Then I knew she was the best we had. That's when I fell for the leader of the pack." Who am I singing about? Obviously, the one and only Sarah Palin. Folks, it is a bit too early to go all in...

As millions of my fellow Americans, I am outraged, devastated and extremely angry by the democrat’s unbelievable arrogance and disdain for We The People. Despite our screaming “no” from the rooftops, they forced Obamacare down our throats. Please forgive me for using the following crude saying, but it is very appropriate to describe what has happened. “Don’t urinate on me and tell me it’s raining.” Democrats say their mission is to give all Americans health care. The democrats are lying. Signing Obamacare into law against our will and the Constitution is tyranny and step one of their hideous goal of...

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...

February 1, 2011, I can’t help imagining Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, the NAACP, the Congressional Black Caucus and the other usual race-profiteering suspects; joyously awakening with a song in their hearts, “It’s The Most Wonderful Month of the Year”. Ah yes, another Black History Month, time to pitch as many new “guilt trip” government entitlement programs as possible. “I mean, after all, we blacks are still victims of America’s racist attitudes and systematic abuse which has changed very little since the 50s. White America still owes us, dammit!” See, I know how to sound like a good little colored boy...

One of the TV networks aired its 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...

Well, its about time!For MONTHS the mainstream Japanese media has more or less been downplaying or avoiding coverage of a) Obama's lack of popularity; b) the rise of the "Tea Party" phenomenon in the USA. All that changed tonight (scroll down to find link to great video). Original title: 米中間選挙、ティーパーティーに大統領苦戦

The Natural starring Robert Redford is my favorite movie. I relate to Roy Hobbs, the film's title character. Roy is a gifted baseball player who finds great success in his craft very late in life. Such is the case with my career as a singer/songwriter. In his youth, Roy was full of enthusiasm, hopes, and dreams of breaking every Major League Baseball record. But while on the road to his dream, life threw Roy a devastating unexpected curve which crushed his dream. Discouraged and depressed, Roy surrendered his dream. Sixteen years later, Roy said, "I decided to give it one...

For too long, Americans went along with politically correct liberal orthodoxy. But finally, they're taking back what's theirs. Monday night, I performed and spoke at a wonderful Tea Party patriot banquet in Scottsdale, Arizona. The keynote speaker was conservative radio talk show host Tammy Bruce. Tammy Bruce delivered a great speech. Ten years ago, Bruce was a hardcore liberal Democrat activist. Similar to Saul on the road to Damascus, Bruce saw the light – that conservatism is best for all people, especially minorities. As a black conservative escapee from the liberal plantation, I say to Bruce, "Right on sista!" Another...

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...

A unique new Tea Party song and short film will be unveiled at the upcoming Virginia Tea Party Convention in Richmond. Written by Tea Party fave Lloyd Marcus, the song, "Taking Back America", is performed by Marcus and talented Tea Party singer/volunteers from across the country. Richly inspirational, the song's creation is captured in a documentary called "Taking Back America - History in the Making of Music", by award-winning filmmaker Norvell Rose. Both song and film will premiere on October 9 at the Virginia Convention. Here's a sneak peek: http://vimeo.com/14767123

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...
