We've been pushing back since the election against the meme that the Tea Party movement was dead. The movement is roaring back because the underlying conditions which gave rise to the movement have not changed.  If anything, the concerns over abuse of government power have been...

Following the unfolding scandal of the Internal Revenue Service's targeting of the Tea Party, I keep the following thought in mind: Neither party in Congress can be relied upon to satisfactorily resolve this issue.  They created the IRS, fund the IRS, and oversee the IRS.  All...

It's important that we are everywhere, even if Jersey City and even if only a small group. From Rob: Dear Prof. Jacobson: I hope that all goes well. Our protest at the Jersey City, NJ IRS HQ had a pretty modest turnout, and none of us brought signs,...

At congressional hearings yesterday, it was revealed that the IRS planted a question at an ABA meeting in order to give Lois Lerner of the IRS the opportunity to get ahead of the pending Inspector General Report and make it seem as if the IRS had voluntarily...

The notion that a few "low level" local IRS employees went rogue is false. The timeline appendices to the Inspector General's report, released by ABC News, detail a far reaching conspiracy to target Tea Party groups with the knowledge of numerous supervisory and compliance persons within...

The death of the Tea Party movement has been greatly exaggerated. It wasn't that long ago that the death of the Tea Party Caucus in Congress, a sure sign that the movement had fallen apart, was celebrated by the great intellect of MSNBC: The death of the Tea...

Reader Thomas was not happy when he saw the Tea Party Bomb, the Worst Boston Bombing prediction in one image: So he decided to respond: No way I was going to let this one go without a rebuke. Sydney Morning Herald, Salon.com, MSNBC and Wolf Blitzer can stick...

Never let it be said that Tea Party people were not game for a challenge. The American Thinker contributor Tara Servatius reported on a poll that shows Hispanic Americans are fans of Big Government: What drives Hispanic voters is simple, and it was captured with shocking clarity...

I became a Catholic in 2010, in part as a response to my involvement in the Tea Party movement. So, I was very excited about the news that Pope Benedict XVI is resigning: He will be the first head of the Roman Catholic Church to resign in...

The Tea Party movement has been pronounced dead more times than one can count. Vilifying and demonizing that great unwashed semi-libertarian freedom movement has been an almost full-time focus of the mainstream media and left blogosphere; in a sign of national unity, Republicans have held the...

I told you on Monday, when I announced that I was joining both the NRA and EFF that The Tea Party movement has more in common with the hacktivist community than either side wants to admit. That common ground is not expansive.  The Tea Party movement certainly is...

I've been giving serious consideration to finally joining the NRA. The people who want to take away your guns (and they would if they could) almost always are the same people who want to control every aspect of your life, from the health care you get to the...
