http://www.blogtalkradio.com/askshow/2010/09/17/the-andrea-shea-king-show

With as much as we’re hearing from media giants like Glenn Beck about restoring and returning to the Judeo-Christian values America was founded upon…

You and your pastor are invited to join us  tonight at 9 pm ET for a very special edition of The ANDREA SHEA KING SHOW when Jerry Williams, popular Christian singer/songwriter and counselor-to-pastors  joins us.

Jerry has been writing and performing contemporary Christian worship and patriotic songs to audiences around the world with the music group “HARVEST” for the past four decades. He is the founder and former president of Harvest Ministries, established in 1977. Harvest was a forerunner in Contemporary Christian Music and the predecessor of EPIC (Exiles Pardoned In Christ) Ministries.

His songs lift the spirit.  But that’s not the only thing Jerry Williams’ works do for the soul.

Jerry and his wife Donna have always been committed to seeing the saving and healing power of Jesus Christ once again sweeping across America. Jerry pastors to hundreds of other pastors around the country.

You’re invited to join us for a delightful hour with a man who is filled with the grace of God as he shares his story and his music with us.  Invite your pastor, minister, rabbi, or priest to join us too.  The link below will get you there for both the LIVE show and archived downloadable podcast.

Republican Establishment is outclassed, out of step, obsolete.

Candidate Christine O’Donnell — Million Dollar Baby!

From a commenter at Gateway Pundit who gets it:

On a related tangental note, are Dick Armey and Freedom Works backing O’Donnell now, or are they still claiming that she’s unwinnable?

So much for conservative principles. It’s all about strategizing for power.

The establishment is scrambling to stay relevant and in power, and some organizations that say they’re all for conservative ideas are just playing the game too.

At least O’Donnell has gotten a huge infusion of cash and the endorsement (forced) of the NRSC.

I do wonder however whether or not she can pull off a win in such a blue state. That said, it’s not undoable, considering Chris Christie in New Jersey, and I’d vote for O’Donnell even if I believed she’d lose. I’d have voted for her during the primary too.

Sometimes you’ve got to say, screw “strategy” and the “game”.

“Fire from the Heartland: The Reawakening of the Conservative Woman” set to premiere Sept. 22

In a previous post titled The Force of the Tea Party is Female, I wrote about the power of women in today’s political arena, the power that is changing America.  We women are pushing back — hard — against all that threatens our freedom, liberty, and makes our country exceptional.  This is the first-ever film to tell the story of the conservative woman in her own words.

Now, the folks from Citizens United have created another founding document of sorts. Premiering in Washington DC on Sept. 22, FIRE IN THE HEARTLAND is a powerful statement about America at a crossroads and the women who have awakened to the crisis.  From the official website:

… With role models such as Clare Boothe Luce, Margaret Thatcher, and Phyllis Schlafly as inspiration, these women are the unintended consequence of the liberal feminist movement.

Tracing the long history of the many conservative women who have been the backbone of this great nation, from the founding mothers of our Republic to today’s “Mama Grizzlies,” this powerful and compelling documentary honors the self-made American woman.

Activists, politicians and commentators such as Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, S.E. Cupp, Dana Loesch, Michelle Easton, Sonnie Johnson, Jenny Beth Martin, Michelle Moore, Jamie Radtke, Deneen Borelli, Janine Turner, and Congresswomen Cynthia Lummis, Jean Schmidt, and Michele Bachmann share their emotional stories of hardship and triumph in their fight for freedom. These women leaders are fanning the flames of liberty across the nation.

Written and directed by Stephen K. Bannon and produced by David N. Bossie, the team that made the critically acclaimed film “Generation Zero” that focused on the financial meltdown and the rise of the Tea Party, “Fire from the Heartland” is a must-see for every citizen concerned with the direction of our country and will stir a fire in the hearts of all Americans.

As Marin Cogan writes at Politico:

The timing couldn’t be sweeter for the makers of “Fire From the Heartland: The Reawakening of the Conservative Woman.”

Just days after the Tea Party favorite Christine O’Donnell pulled off a stunning upset against GOP establishment pick Mike Castle, Citizens United will premiere a documentary in Washington next week that they say is the first “to tell the story of the awakening of a new generation of women that are at the forefront of today’s reborn conservative movement.”

The film capitalizes on what political observers and activists have already noted of this election cycle—the riders on this year’s political storm are women, a sagebrush set well-positioned to help the GOP reclaim the congress.

While women are filling in on the top of the party ticket, the documentary explores the flip side of the equation — looking at the Tea Party’s grassroots activists, like Jenny Beth Martin, and starring the more familiar female stars of the conservative movement, including Rep. Michele Bachmann, Ann Coulter and Phyllis Schlafly.

The trailer for the film, which was directed by “Generation Zero” director Steven K. Bannon, begins with Bachmann asking Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner a question during the financial crisis, and crescendos with quotes from Coulter and Palin. Lady Gaga, the women of “Sex and the City” and a mama grizzly also make an appearance.

The Not So Incredible Shrinking Man

And this…

Essay by James Hudnall writing for Big Journalism presented in it’s entirety.

I don’t like the Democrats because they are statists. They are for big government and more taxes. They are also for mob rule. They want a democratic society, not a Republic. That is a disastrous recipe. Big government always leads to tyranny, democracy lacks the limited government structure of a Republic, which makes it harder for corruption to prevail. Democrats seem to love corruption. They wallow in it like pigs in their own dung. That’s why they seek to undermine our limited-government constitution at every point. You can go back to Tammany Hall right up to today to see their disregard for the rule of law. Rangel and Waters were merely caught. They are far from outliers.

I dislike the Republicans because they don’t practice what they preach. They’re supposed to be the party of smaller government and lower taxes. But they are just like ’70s Democrats now. Aside from the Bush tax cuts, they’ve expanded government and spending to obscene levels. When the Democrats came into power they just made the Republicans look conservative by contrast.

Less terrible is still terrible. The Republicans share the blame for our debt. But what I really dislike about Republicans is how elitist they are. They cherry pick their primary candidates before the people can choose. They ram their picks through. The public is given a token choice, but the party rigs the results. A great example was the primary race this week. Delaware says it all.

Mike Castle was a weak RINO who, along with 23 other Republicans, voted to refer Dennis Kucinich’s motion to impeach George W. Bush to the judiciary committee in 2008. That move right there should be a clue he was a terrible pick to fight the Democrats. But the GOP put their money on him and they ran an incredibly vicious campaign against the tea party candidate, Christine O’Donnell. They ran all kinds of negative ads against her and robo-calls up to the last minute — but she clobbered Castle by eight points.

They tried to rig the results but the public is wise to them now. The message from the voters is clear. No more status quo candidates. No more beltway bozos.

The Republican National committee answered thusly: “We’re not going to give her any money. She can get the tea party to pay for her campaign.”

They just don’t get it. The anger out there is about taking the government back from the beltway creeps on either side of the aisle. Status quo candidates will get kicked to the curb. The GOP had better get a clue that voters want government spending and size cut or they will get the chop next. This is not a joke.

The beltway bozos, who thought being like the Democrats was the way to win elections, are going to find out the hard way they were wrong. Already the Democrats are saying the Tea Party is moving the GOP too far to the right. Here is the Dems’ latest blather:

“Today the Republican Party has shown just how far right it has moved,” DNC Chairman Tim Kaine said in a written statement. “While Americans in Delaware and across the country are eager for both parties to work together toward solutions that move America forward, Delaware’s Tea Party Republicans have nominated a self-aggrandizing and divisive candidate who seeks to tear down the progress we’ve made to recover from failed Republican economic policies that took us to the brink of economic collapse.”

But privately they are quaking in fear, shivering in their booties. They know 2010 is over for them. Their only hope is to keep trying to make the tea party into a fringe movement. Their media lackies have been doing that for the last year and a half. It’s a tactic that is failing miserably.  Now that the GOP is finding their chosen are getting mowed down, they may join the Dems and the press in trying to hurt the tea party.

But they will do that at their peril. The public has had enough. We’re almost at the point of busting into the Bastille. The voters are sending a message to Washington that business as usual is over. For the last year and a half Democrats have been telling the voters they don’t care what they want.

Now the voters are showing them the door. If the Republicans don’t wake up, they’ll be joining the Dems out in the cold.

2010 is a year of reckoning.

Savor the irony…

The Force of the Tea Party is Female

Tuesday night’s primary win for Delaware’s Christine O’Donnell… Sharron Angle’s win in Nevada… Renee Ellmers in North Carolina… Nikki Haley in South Carolina… Sarah Palin. Michele Bachmann. The list grows.

Women candidates are sweeping the nation.

And they’re getting there with the help of women on the ground and behind the scenes who are working long hours away from home to make it happen.  Last night you had a chance to meet two of them.

Amy Saylors Kremer, Tea Party Express Chairman

Amy Kremer, chairman of the Tea Party Express, has been boots on the ground since last Spring for Sharron Angle in Nevada, Joe Miller in Alaska, and Christine O’Donnell in Delaware.  I traveled with Amy on the Tea Party Express’ national tour last April.  A former Delta flight attendant, Amy is a no-nonsense gal: focused, competent and capable.  Her leadership ability inspires confidence.  Prompted to start a tea party movement the day after Rick Santelli’s rant on CNBC, she hit the ground running, and literally hasn’t stopped since. I am honored to call this fellow patriot “friend”.

Though Amy Kremer is working hard to take America back to its founding principles., she made time from a very busy schedule to join us last night.

Elizabeth Letchworth, GradeGov,com

Also with us last night is a gal I admire and regard as a dear friend. My regular listeners already know Elizabeth Letchworth, a regular guest on our Wednesday night program.

Elizabeth spent her career in the U.S. Senate, first as a page, then for 26 years as that body’s elected Secretary.  Her corporate knowledge of the Senate is like gold. She knows the players — then and now — and how they play their parliamentary sleight of hand to dupe us.

Debbie Lee, Dave Logan, Deborah Johns, Berkeley, CA, Feb. 13, 2008

Some time ago, on a bright sunny February day in California, our show producer Dave Logan (Thirdwavedave) traveled to Berkeley — “the belly of the beast” — where a protest was taking place.

Military Moms from the pro-troop organization Move America Forward had assembled to push back against the anti-war, anti-American Code Pink activists who were demonstrating against a Marine Military Recruitment office.

Throughout the day, he called in and I live-blogged what was happening. And almost without fail, he remarked how it was the women who were making a difference, defending our men and women in uniform, getting out there in the Code Pink wackos’ faces.

It was the women who had organized the protest that pushed back and made a difference.  It was the women’s strength and determination that impressed him most.

Women who make the difference… If you weren’t able to be with us last night, you can listen to the archived show or download it.  You can find it here.
