CONGRATS! Jim, you deserve it! I think HotAir is the best, but Gateway is my favorite. It’s like Rush is the best, but Mark is my favorite.

Btw, a nice tribute to Lady Liberty. Well done!

Lol…so a blog that supports big govt politicians like Senator McConnell is voted as Tea Party blog? Linking articles, and using misleading headlines starting with “it begins…” while supporting big govt neocons that vote to increase the debt ceiling is not consistent with Tea Party beliefs.

Moreliberty – so glad you speak for all Tea Party members – oh wait, you are hiding behind a fake name and no one has a clue as to who you are. That speaks volumes… Jim Hoft is putting his name and face behind his words. You are not.
