Come and join the Tea Party Nation for a rally in support of freedom and liberty.

It’s time for every citizen to step up and get involved. Let our Legislators in D.C. know they work for us and we don’t want an expanding central government. Let our Tennessee legislators know we don’t want the […]

Get yourself to the Hill to show your response to Rep Bart Gordon and Rep Jim Cooper for voting to double your energy and gas costs with a yes vote for H.R. 2454, Waxman-Markey Cap and Trade Bill. This bill is a horrendous power grab for centralized government along with killing the energy sector […]

How low can a Democrat get? Down in the sewer low with the example of their Leader Obama. Remember when Obama made what he considered a self effacing joke on Leno at the expense of Special Olympics participants? Now, Linda Kellen Biegel, official blogger for the Alaskan Democrat Party, has photoshopped a […]

There have been so many times I’ve walked past this amazing sculpture and thought, I really need to take a picture of this. Today, finally, I was at The Factory in Franklin for a Flag Day event and stopped! Took the time to take a few pictures.

This is interesting. Looks to be one of those situations where if the Knoxville District Attorney had done their job this terrorist act may not have occurred.

Political animals contort their beliefs to pander to anyone and anything. Zach Wamp is the consumate political animal. He supported a 90% income tax bill specifically for AIG employee bonuses. He thought supporting this targeting of specific individuals would make him ‘look’ supportive of the little people. He guessed wrong on […]

This guy has the funniest laugh.
The Comedy Barn in Tennessee is home to a long-running variety show. One of the show’s staples is a standup comedian. For one bit, he pulls audience members onstage. But on this day, he got more than he bargained for.
One man breaks up the show. No, he’s not causing trouble. […]

This is from Deputy Sheriff Becky Coyle of the Williamson County Sheriff’s office.

God Makes No Mistakes, Becky Coyle, Williamson County TN

Lt Governor, Terry Frank has a message for you and I think you should read and take heed. I heard you earlier in the year at the Williamson County Republican Headquarters say that Judicial Selection needs to go. That Tennessee voters should be selecting these judges. Were you just talking or playing […]

George Mason University has released it’s state Freedom study - Freedom in the 50 States: An Index of Personal and Economic Freedom.
Here’s Tennessee’s summary (page 40):
Tennessee (#8 economic, #18 personal, #7 overall) is, along with Virginia, one of the freest states in the South. By one of our measures, Tennessee’s overall tax burden […]

Now this surprises me and there’s not much about Lamar Alexander that surprises me. I expect to be disappointed in how he votes in the Senate. He’s a big spending, socialist leaning Republican but I didn’t know that he had decided he was done running for political office in Tennessee.

From KnoxNews - Sen. Alexander […]

I was just listening to Ralph Bristol’s radio show, he was talking about a resolution passed by the TN House yesterday which gave unanimous consent to built a statue of Nobel Peace Prize winners Al Gore and Cordell Hull. Ralph was wondering why his state Rep Susan Lynn would vote for such a resolution. […]

From Tom Humphrey at Knox News we read about a move to change how the gas tax increases will be tied to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) instead of requiring TN legislators to vote on an increase. The bill is sponsored by Rep Bill Harmon (D) and Sen Jim Tracy (R).

As originally introduced, the […]

This is such a cool story that the Tennessean wrote about John Hall. I’m not a fan of the Tennessean but John is an acquaintance of mine and I am so thrilled they wrote this story. John is just such a sweet man and I wish I would have been in town to […]

Have you been frustrated with Lamar Alexander? Conservative Women’s Action Network (CWAN) has a petition which is a “Vote of No Confidence” for you to sign and mail to Lamar Alexander. This seems to be the only way to communicate with Senator Alexander since he doesn’t make himself available to his constituents in […]

Just when you think MAYBE, just MAYBE Tennessee would be able to move away from the boot of big government, Republicans pull this kind of big brother legislation. There are too many possibilities of abuse with this kind of control.

I know this happens in Tennessee, I’m not sure if it is as pervasive as you will see in the video, nor do I know if the rules allow or disallow voting for another legislator. On what ever scale it just seems wrong. If there’s too much going on then leadership is failing […]

Some may think this battle to not open up the sale of wine to grocery stores is about controlling the consumption of alcohol in Tennessee. Don’t believe it, it’s about money! It’s always about money. Remember to just follow the money.

Senator Corker held a breakfast this morning at Boxwood Bistro in Williamson County. The format of the event after a nice breakfast buffet was Senator Corker gave a talk about life in DC. Then he took questions from the group.

The Senator spoke about his 3 committee assignments which are Foreign Relations, Energy and […]

I really liked this sign from Franklin, TN’s Tea Party last night.

In case you can’t read the small letters: he’s the ROBBIN_g HOOD_lum
Clever.

I think this is a really awesome or scarey (which ever way you want to look at it) from Bumpus Harley Davidson of Murfreesboro, TN last Friday.

The truly scary part of mother nature!

Here’s a quick post of a few photos I took this afternoon.
Now we’re off to the Franklin Tea Party.

Here’s another example of Democrats who profess to support the troops, actions not words reveal their true colors once again.

Are you TEA’d?
By Jean Barwick
As packages of the federal government¹s $787 billion stimulus package begin to trickle into the states, a protest movement is growing nationwide to address the collective insanity that has gripped our leadership. In the wake of Rick Santelli¹s (CNBC) call for a “Chicago Tea Party” to protest the ridiculous economic policies […]
