Only 8 Senators refused to participate in the obscene last minute vote on a 154-page bill known as the fiscal cliff legislation. Republican Senators who voted against the legislation are Shelby (AL), Rubio (FL), Grassley (IA), Paul (KY), Lee (UT). Kirk (IL) – did not vote, DeMint (SC) – did not vote. Democrats Bennet (CO)...
The U.S. Navy is joining the political fray again by lobbying for The Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST). They want it, and they are willing to spend a portion of shrinking budget to lobbyist Trent Lott to get this piece of United Nations despotism passed in the U.S. Senate, which may finally happen...
John Boehner (R-OH) likely would not support Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) if DeMint was running for the presidency (which he isn’t) because DeMint’s new advice to the GOP is: Don’t Compromise. Have Courage. Neither of those compute with House Speaker John Boehner, who has demanded that the House compromise countless times, allowing the 2010...
I posted many of the CPAC speeches, but after it was over didn’t have an opportunity to post much about the reports coming from bloggers who attended. One that I love is that my friend Karen at The Lonely Conservative was among a small group of bloggers to meet privately with Senator Jim DeMint...

My friend Fran Boscow at Constitutionalists United for Liberty pointed me to Dick Morris talking about the impressively large vote for Ron Paul. At the same time, Senator Jim DeMint has said he hopes to keep Paul in the race awhile longer to give our front-runner(s) a chance to absorb Paul’s message about the...
I’m gratified Senator Jim DeMint and I see Ron Paul’s candidacy in the same light. Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) has brought to the fore many staggeringly important issues and pounded them home. DeMint appreciates that and hopes Paul can stay in the race to enable our eventual front-runner to absorb and appreciate those issues...
The following video covers Congresswoman Michele Bachmann’s (R-Minn) statements at the September 5th, 2011 Palmetto Freedom Forum on September 5, 2011 sponsored by Senator Jim DeMint. Bachmann is the first speaker, and so with introductions of the entire slate speaking in this forum, she is the first to speak and begins at about the...
The following video is Newt Gingrich’s statements at the September 5th, 2011 Palmetto Freedom Forum, sponsored by Senator Jim DeMint. I urge you to read Newts’s ending statements on controlling the border, or listen to it at the end of the video. (This post has been updated after viewing the entire video) Below is...
