‘Don’t Tread On Me’ License Plate Coming To A State Near You?

Wonder what you would find if you frisked the tail end of cars in the states of Texas, Virginia, and Nevada?

Answer: Soon you might find a Gadsden Flag license plate.

Fox News reports:

Fans of the Gadsden Flag may soon be able to display its familiar rattlesnake and “Don’t Tread on Me” message every time they pull out of the driveway.

At least three states — Virginia, Nevada and Texas — are weighing or have already approved proposals to add “Don’t Tread on Me” specialty license plates to their state rosters.

[...]

In Texas, the first state to propose and approve the plates, officials said they didn’t have politics in mind, but simply getting more people interested in displaying specialty plates, which bring the state more money then regular plates.

[...]

On Oct. 14, Virginia House Delegate John M. O’Bannon III submitted a proposal to bring “Don’t Tread on Me” plates to Virginia. Unlike revenue-sharing plates, which raise money for a specific organization, O’Bannon says any money raised by these plates will go straight to the Virginia DMV.

“Some people try to politicize it, but the nice thing about this symbol is that it has a very positive and patriotic heritage and a lot of people past the Tea Party folks think favorably of this and I think would like to have it,” O’Bannon told FoxNews.com.

Unfortunately, an all yellow license plate will not look that pleasant on the tail end of a lot cars, because the colors would clash. Either way, the license plate alone is quite badass.

Mainstream Media Ignores MLK’s Message And Focuses On Race

Wonder what you would find if you frisked the mainstream media’s reaction to Glenn Beck’s ‘Restoring Honor’ rally?

Answer: Some of them seemed to focus on a similar observation.

Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

The question is, does the mainstream media feel the same way? Well, let’s find out.

Jim Treacher – from The Daily Caller – assembled a list of quotes written about the ‘Restoring Honor’ rally:

Presented without comment:

“Conservative commentator Glenn Beck and tea party champion Sarah Palin appealed Saturday to a vast, predominantly white crowd on the National Mall to help restore traditional American values and honor Martin Luther King’s message.” — Associated Press

“Attendees at the rally Saturday largely honored organizer requests that they not bring banners or political signs. Instead, the predominantly white crowd, many seated on folding chairs and accompanied by their children, wore t-shirts with slogans including ‘Got principles?’ and ‘Restoring Honor.’” — AFP

“Meanwhile, many in the predominantly white crowd bent over backward to insist that they are not racists and to note that the crowd was courteous, despite heat and density.” — James Hohmann, Politico

“Beck says he and his overwhelmingly white followers ‘are the inheritors and protectors of the civil- rights movement.’” — Ben Adler, Newsweek

“Though the audience at the event was overwhelmingly white, many of the speakers were African-American, including a woman who sang a song about unity.” — Brian Montopoli, CBS

“Claiming the legacy of the nation’s Founding Fathers and repeatedly evoking civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr., the speakers at the ‘Restoring Honor’ rally exhorted a vast and overwhelmingly white crowd to concentrate not on the history that has scarred the nation but instead on what makes it ‘good.’” — Philip Rucker & Carol Morello, Washington Post

“A relatively dense and overwhelmingly white crowd stretched from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial out past the Washington Monument.” — Mark Benjamin, Salon.com

“The speaker list was diverse, including African Americans, Latinos and Native Americans; Jews and Christians; clergymen, military veterans and sports stars, including Albert Pujols of the St. Louis Cardinals. The crowd, however, was overwhelmingly white.” — Michael A. Memoli and Kim Geiger, LA Times

“Out in the overwhelmingly white audience… politics was everywhere, with Tea Party supporters describing the damage they envision for President Barack Obama’s Democrats in upcoming midterm elections in November.” — Mitch Potter, Toronto Star

I think that answers that question…

Oddly enough, while the liberal mainstream media stayed focused on the racial aspect of the rally, they somehow managed to completely ignore the fact that the event raised over $5.5 million for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. The SOWF is a charity that helps the families of fallen soldiers… Bravo Mr. Beck and shame on you media.

Happy 4th Of July From Frisk A Liberal!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY FRISK A LIBERAL FANS!

July 4, 1776:

In Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the Continental Congress adopts the Declaration of Independence, which proclaims the independence of the United States of America from Great Britain and its king. The declaration came 442 days after the first volleys of the American Revolution were fired at Lexington and Concord in Massachusetts and marked an ideological expansion of the conflict that would eventually encourage France’s intervention on behalf of the Patriots.

[...]

The Declaration of Independence was largely the work of Virginian Thomas Jefferson. In justifying American independence, Jefferson drew generously from the political philosophy of John Locke, an advocate of natural rights, and from the work of other English theorists. The first section features the famous lines, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” The second part presents a long list of grievances that provided the rationale for rebellion.

On July 2, 1776, the Continental Congress voted to approve a Virginia motion calling for separation from Britain. The dramatic words of this resolution were added to the closing of the Declaration of Independence. Two days later, on July 4, the declaration was formally adopted by 12 colonies after minor revision. New York approved it on July 19. On August 2, the declaration was signed.

I am definitely wearing my “Don’t Tread On Me” shirt today… Lookout America! Also, I believe today is deserving of more than one quote:

Where liberty dwells, there is my country. – Benjamin Franklin

My God! How little do my countrymen know what precious blessings they are in possession of, and which no other people on earth enjoy! – Thomas Jefferson

Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves. – Abraham Lincoln

It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. … I am well aware of the Toil and Blood and Treasure, that it will cost Us to maintain this Declaration, and support and defend these States. Yet through all the Gloom I can see the Rays of ravishing Light and Glory. I can see that the End is more than worth all the Means. And that Posterity will tryumph in that Days Transaction, even altho We should rue it, which I trust in God We shall not. – John Adams

There, I guess King George will be able to read that. – John Hancock, after signing the Declaration of Independence

Good God… Our founding fathers were awesome.

Steven Crowder: The ‘Big Oil’ Distraction

Steven Crowder.

Wonder what you would find if you frisked Steven Crowder’s monologue on FOX News’ Red Eye?

Answer: He describes how Left is using the “big oil” card to further their agenda.

Wait just a second… Barack Obama loves “big oil” too? … Go figure.

As Steven Crowder points out, both Democrats and Republicans are in the “pockets” of the oil industry. Therefore, liberals and the mainstream media need to stop blaming Conservatives for their misperceived love affair with “oil oil” and recognize the ongoing failures currently going on in the Gulf of Mexico… Like President Obama said, we need to “plug the damn hole!” Unfortunately, he is doing an awful job at doing it. To prove my point, read my blog post I wrote yesterday.

EXCLUSIVE: Lansing, Michigan Tea Party

On Saturday night (April 10, 2010), I attended the Tea Party located on the steps of the Capitol in downtown Lansing, Michigan. After making a stop in Grand Rapids, The Tea Party Express managed to make an appearance to energize the crowd of 1,000-1,500. Overall, it was another great and peaceful Tea Party with a large number of concerned Americans/Michiganders in attendance.

When I first arrived, Republican gubernatorial candidate Mike Bouchard was giving a fiery speech to the crowd during the Tea Party Express rally that definitely stirred up an incredible amount of enthusiasm. Later on in the evening, Mike Bouchard and Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox took the podium once again to blast the idea of massive government spending and other major political issues.

QUESTION: Hey liberals, how much do you like my new “Don’t Tread On Me” t-shirt?

Props to all the patriots that made it out to the rally Saturday!

Reminder: Videos from the event will be added later on this evening.

Coming Soon: A Possible Palin Travelogue Show For Discovery

Wonder what you would find if you frisked former Governor Sarah Palin and the Discovery Channel?

Answer: They are close to making a deal on a new travelogue show.

The Washington Post reports:

After trying unsuccessfully to sell to the broadcast networks a travelogue series about Alaska that would feature none other than SARAH PALIN, reality-TV king Mark Burnett appears to be in negotiations with Discovery Communications about placing the Palin “reality series” there.

Discovery is expected to announce soon that it’s getting into bed with the former Alaska governor for this limited-run series.

[...]

Earlier this month, Burnett, best known for executive-producing CBS’s “Survivor” and NBC’s “Celebrity Apprentice,” shopped the show around in Los Angeles, with Palin, to the broadcast networks for a reported price of about $1 million an episode, which is a lot of lettuce for a salmon-fishing and moose-skinning travelogue.

The broadcast networks appear to have passed because the show is not called “The Palins,” and it is not about Palin, her unwed daughter Bristol and baby Tripp, her potshot-taking nearly son-in-law Levi, her hot-looking husband Todd, and her baby with Down syndrome whom we all fell in love with during the 2008 presidential race, Trig.

Sorry liberals, as much as you would like to see a reality show based on Sarah Palin, it is not going to happen. Of course, I mean it in the sense that you would just use it to fuel your unintelligent agenda of demonizing anyone with an opposing viewpoint.

Personally, I find this to be a decent career move. Although this will place Palin outside of the political scene for a little while, it should help portray her and Alaska in a positive light that most Americans have not seen before. If a deal is actually finalized, the travelogue should be interesting and I will probably end up DVR’ing it. Let’s just hope it will be under 12 or so episodes, because more than that might be a little too much, haha.

Royal Oak, Michigan Tea Party!

Wonder what you would find if you frisked the city of Royal Oak, Michigan yesterday?

Answer: 400+ Tea Party patriots showed up to protest President Obama’s socialized health-care bill!

After searching around on the conservative blogs this afternoon, I spotted The Blog Prof which had photos and videos posted of yesterday’s Tea Party that took place in Royal Oak, MI. Unfortunately I did not attend the event, because I did not know it was taking place. I guess better luck next time!

Oh well, another blogger had it covered! The Blog Prof reports:

For those of us that couldn’t make it out to Washington DC today, we held our own tea party protest instead. The word got out only days ago, yet more than 400 people showed up to protest the unconstitutional expansion of the federal government, especially into the area of healthcare. Appropriately, the protest was held on a public sidewalk in front of William Beaumont Hospital.

Click here to check out more photographs of the Tea Party in Royal, MI.

VIDEOS OF THE EVENT: VIDEO 1 | VIDEO 2 | VIDEO 3 | VIDEO 4

Props to The Blog Prof and all the Conservatives within the great state of Michigan!

GOP Lawmaker Wants To Put Reagan’s Face On $50 Bill

Wonder what you would find if you frisked the latest legislation proposed by U.S. Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC)?

Answer: He wants President Ronald Reagan’s face on the $50 bill.

FOX News reports:

Ronald Reagan’s conservative legacy has been the topic of debate for much of the last two decades. Now a Republican lawmaker is arguing that that legacy should be honored by putting Reagan’s face on the $50 bill.

Rep. Patrick McHenry of North Carolina introduced legislation Tuesday that would replace President Ulysses S. Grant on the $50 bill with Reagan’s likeness.

“Every generation needs its own heroes,” McHenry said in a written statement. “One decade into the 21st century, it’s time to honor the last great president of the 20th and give President Reagan a place beside Presidents Roosevelt and Kennedy.”

FDR’s likeness in on the dime and Kennedy’s is on the half-dollar.

McHenry pointed to a polls of presidential scholars that show Reagan consistently outranks President Grant, including a Wall Street Journal survey in 2005 that ranked Reagan sixth and Grant 29th.

But one Democrat on the House Financial Services Committee said he’s not ready to grant that honor to “someone whose policies are still controversial.”

“Our currency ought to be something that unites us,” Rep. Brad Sherman, D-Calif., told the Los Angeles Times.

This isn’t the first time Republicans have tried to put Reagan on the $50 bill. In 2005, when Republicans controlled Congress, the attempt died in the House Financial Services Committee.

Oh boy… I think if President Reagan made his way on to the $50 bill, it would drive liberals completely insane… Let’s do it!

In all seriousness, I am indifferent about putting President Reagan’s face on our $50 bill. It’s hard to pick a side because on one end of the argument you have President Ulysses S. Grant who helped us (the north) win the Civil War and on the other end you have John F. Kennedy’s face on the half-dollar who didn’t really accomplish much at all. Overall, President Reagan should have his face on some type of currency… $50 bill or something else.
