I voted. I brought my wife and Mother-in-law. Did you vote yet? How many people did you bring to the polls?
Watch this video.
Obviously, everyone has been talking about Juan Williams being fired by NPR for the past 2 days. Do I think his being fired over what he said on O’Reilly’s show was silly? Yes, I absolutely do. Juan Williams seems like a genuinely nice guy. His politics are obviously way different than mine but he has mostly appeared respectful of opposing opinions the many times I have seen or heard him debate a topic. He will be fine. As a matter of fact, he has already gotten a significant raise in income from being hired by Fox News in an expanded role.
All of this being said, the argument I keep hearing over and over is that his First Amendment rights were violated. They absolutely were not violated. Juan Williams is a free man. He didn’t go to jail because he expressed his opinion. He was fired. He maintained his First Amendment right to free speech. He still does. He is free to express any opinion he has. Being free to express your opinion, does not guarantee that you will be given a platform to express your opinion. Your right to free speech does not include a right to be heard by the masses. A person’s right to free speech does not mean a person can say whatever they want without there being any consequences. Disagree? Try this Monday morning then. Go into your boss’s office and tell him (or her…..don’t get all politically correct on me here!) that his wife is fat and ugly and really shouldn’t breed because the world is full of enough miscreants already. Do you think you’ll leave that office still being employed? Chances are you will be fired. You have the absolute right to say that to your boss and he has the absolute right to fire you. As long as the government doesn’t come in and jail you for saying such nasty things about his wife, your First Amendment rights have not been violated.
I am not comparing those comments to what Juan Williams said at all. I am just making the point that your First Amendment right of free speech can be upheld and you can still be fired.
As I already said, I don’t think Juan Williams should have been fired over his comments about being nervous about being on a flight with muslims dressed in “muslim garb.” However, this is clearly not a First Amendment issue.

ProudConservative.com proudly endorses Christine O’Donnell in today’s Republican primary for Delaware’s Senate race.
For those of you who have read ProudConservative.com for a long time, you’ll remember I used to have a list of Republicans who needed to be voted out of office, preferably in a primary. Mike Castle, O’Donnell’s opponent, the Republican party establishment choice was always near the top of that list for the numerous bad votes he had given on various issues. He is a RINO through and through.
O’Donnell on the other hand is a solid conservative who will fight for the conservative agenda. She is taking heat from the Republican elite in her own state and hasn’t backed down. She will certainly not back down to the Democrats and the RINO’s in the Senate.
Delaware….this is your chance to rid yourselves (and the rest of us) of Mike Castle. Vote Christine O’Donnell. O’Donnell has also been endorsed by Sarah Palin, Jim DeMint and Mark Levin amongst many others.

I think by now, you would know that I am an ardent supporter of the men and women in the police departments around the country. However, when they start taking away the guns of citizens who have legally obtained them and are legally carrying them, we have a problem.
Here is a disturbing quote from the article linked to below. Lt. Fran Healy, special adviser to the police commissioner, said, “Officers’ safety comes first, and not infringing on people’s rights comes second.” I’m all for officer’s safety….believe me….but that doesn’t give this department the ability to take away our rights.

According to the media, the average Tea Party attendee is filled with hate. Yet, they never seem to say anything about the liberals who truly are filled with hate.
FOXNews.com – John Cusack Calls for ‘Satanic Death’ of Fox News, GOP Leaders
ProudConservative.com is proud to announce it is endorsing Peter Schiff for Senator in the Connecticut Republican primary.
I have been voting in CT for a long time. The truth is….this is the first time I will vote FOR a Senatorial candidate as opposed to voting AGAINST another candidate. Unfortunately, in CT, we don’t get many conservatives running in the Republican races. We usually get moderates or even worse liberal Republicans….truthfully they may as well as run as Democrats. However, Peter Schiff bucks that trend. He understands the principles of limited government and liberty that this country was founded upon. He has the experience in economics that few in the federal government actually understand.
His main opponent is another CT liberal Republican….Linda McMahon. She has spent millions and millions of dollars to try to buy this seat. Almost as bad, is the Republican party in CT has endorsed her which is almost the kiss of death in my book seeing how liberal the CT Republican party tends to be. McMahon will be eaten alive by Blumenthal, the likely Democrat candidate. And even if she were to somehow beat him, the truth of the matter is she would still be one of these RINO’s that votes with the liberal Democrats on way too many occasions. This is not just my opinion. She has donated thousands and thousands of dollars to the Democrats. She has announced her support for many of the Obama administration’s policies that are further bankrupting this country.
Peter Schiff will be the most conservative Senator coming from CT for as long as I can remember. In a time when the country’s financial house is in ruins, we need as many people in the Senate (and the House for that matter) that understand the limited role the federal government was supposed to play. We need people that understand that the more the federal government gets involved in most issues, the worse the situation becomes. We need people that understand and have actually read the Constitution. And we need people that will actually read the bills they are voting on. I believe Peter Schiff is one of these people and I encourage all my friends in CT to vote for him on August 10, 2010 in the Republican primary.

Hey everyone. Many of you know that Sean Hannity has been running a video contest for past several weeks. My 14 year old son decided to enter the contest. He worked so hard on the video. he came up with the concept….got all of his friends to help out….edited the video….timed it to the music…..everything. I would love if you could watch it on Hannity’s website and then rate it….PREFERABLY 5 STARS!
Whether his video is one of the top videos or not, I am so proud of him. He did a great job.
His video is entitled “Celebrate Our Heroes.” As of right now, it’s on Page 7 of the site linked to below.
Thanks so much!
UPDATE: Well, he didn’t make it into the top 4 videos, but thank you to everyone who rated his video. I am so proud of him for taking this project on all by himself.
It’s the Obama recession/depression sale! The truth is business has been much slower since President Obama was elected. Most people have suffered from the Obama economy. I can do one of two things. I can raise prices to try to make up for lost revenue or I can lower prices and try to stimulate more purchases which results in more revenue. See it’s kind of like the government raising taxes thinking it will bring in more revenue, which doesn’t work. Or it’s like the government cutting taxes, stimulating economic growth and in the end bringing in more revenue than before. Which option do you think I am going with? That’s right….the lower prices (“tax cut”) option. Therefore…All ProudConservative.com shirts are now on sale until further notice. T-shirts regularly priced at $15.95 are now on sale for $12.95. T-shirts regularly priced at $17.95 are now on sale for $14.95. Kid’s T-shirts regularly priced at $15.95 are also on sale for $12.95. Ladies cut T-shirts regularly priced at $17.95 are on sale for $12.95. And sweatshirts regularly priced from $24.95 – $27.95 are now on sale for $19.95 – $22.95!

ProudConservative.com proudly endorses Chuck Devore in today’s California primary. He is clearly the most conservative candidate in the race and as such has our backing. He will accomplish two goals at once….getting Barbara Boxer out of the Senate and adding a much needed conservative voice to the Senate.
ProudConservative.com also endorses Sharron Angle in today’s Nevada primary. She is a no nonsense conservative and will be a great addition to the Senate of the United States. And as a bonus, she will send Harry Reid packing.
ProudConservative.com is proud to announce that it endorses Dr. Rand Paul in today’s Senate primary election in Kentucky. He is by far the most conservative candidate running and not a RINO Republican. He would be a great addition to the U.S. Senate and one small step in turning the liberal to moderate Senate, and yes that includes many Republicans, to a more conservative body. He understands and will uphold the Constitution in a way the Framers intended.
Dr. Rand Paul has also been endorsed by Jim DeMint, Sarah Palin, Jim Bunning, James Dobson and Steve Forbes amongst many others.
Once again, my daughter is raising funds for St. Baldrick’s. St. Baldrick’s is involved in Children’s Cancer Research. My daughter agreed to cut a minimum of 8 inches of her hair off on May 24th and St Baldrick’s will be accepting donations on her behalf. Her cut hair will be donated to an organization known as Beautiful Lengths, which will make a wig from her hair for children undergoing cancer treatment. This is the second year she has cut her hair for this charity and my family’s fourth year. Once again, I have agreed to shave my head as well. In the past, some of the donations were made by friends and family. But the majority of the donations were made by friends and customers of ProudConservative.com. We are hoping to raise at least $1000.00 again. If you can afford to make ANY donation…no amount is too small…please consider doing so. My mother died from cancer….I can’t imagine watching a child deal with such an illness. Click on the link below to be brought to the page where you can make a donation.
St. Baldrick’s – Make a donation on behalf of Sierra
Thanks in advance to all of you who are able to donate.
