Below is the entirety of Andrew Breitbart's remarks during his Keynote address to the National Tea Party Convention in Nashville last weekend. During Breitbart's 33 minute long address, he threatens to upend the entire media establishment, calling them out on their hypocrisy while demanding they change their ways,...

Do a few simple things?
If everyone voted Conservative, that would be a start.
That woudl be nice. I would be OK if people actually made an educated vote, based on their beliefs and the beliefs of the candidate.
Not just voted for skin color, or quaint marketing phrase like "Hope and Change"
I'm sick and tired of uneducated voters who don't understand the ramifications of their vote.
If everyone voted Conservative, that would be a start.
Voting every incumbent out would be a good start.
Placing some officials in office with values, morals and ethics would be a great start.
Two things strike me as humorous this week: Bawney Fwanks boyfriend getting newstime for the pot bust, and Bawney being there when the bust went down, stating "I'm not an outdoorsman, I don't know what pot is". Ok Bawney, I buy that lame excuse.
The second one is Elliott Spitzer, lecturing on morals and ethics. Really now? Why doesn't he just write "The Politicians Manual on Call Girl Ethics"?
Those people, just don't get it. We are fed up, and have had enough of their nonsense.

Good God, Cowboy (laughing)…. Do you mean self reliance, personal accountability, WORKING for a living, supporting your family, being educated properly, and making decisions that you are responsible for ??
ARE YOU CRAZY ? That would put the liberal scum party out of business ! Have you no sympathy for our social victims who cannot subscribe (for generations) to the above principles ? Right wing radical (grin). /sarc for you gumment educated morons.
Those disenfranchised could always move to Cuba, Venezuela, or some other Liberal mecca.
I personally would pay for plane fare for a dozen…. One way, of course….
Some more extreme "good starts":
Requiring voters to at least know who their elected officials are, and a basic knowledge of how government is supposed to work, not the graft and corruption, lying and stealing as practiced by our current elected officials;
requiring ID from those attempting to vote to determine if they are eligible to do so;
Prohibit those on welfare from voting (something about vested interests), and while welfare is a subject, how 'bout drug screens for each and every one of the parasites.
And if you disagree with any of the above, you are a racist.
I can live with, and even enjoy debating, a liberal who knows his own mind, who actually has reasons for voting the way he does, based on core values and beliefs. I may believe he is wrong, but he is entitled to his beliefs. What I cannot take are the shills on either side who simply parrot what they hear from their "leaders." I remember voting for Richard Nixon in an elementary school mock election. I am from Hubert Humphrey's home state and was the only kid who voted for Nixon. I still remember my teacher telling me that I was the only student who could say why I voted that way. Unfortunately, I do not see many of my age-mates doing much more thinking now than they did then. Sad. (By the way, my dad was a Democrat and my mom never discussed politics.)
Looking at the morning headlines, I think the wind is changing, and we might finally have the wind at our backs: A wave of incumbent sentiment is building, ACORN is reportedly on the verge of Bankruptcy, the White House Counsel is stepping down, as early as today it is reported. Pieces are flying off the Obama tri-cycle faster than Barry can peddal.
When things get tough, true to form, Barry has taken another whirlwind campaign trip, this time to Japan. Probably going to spread some of that Hopey-Changey-Transparency nonsense abroad………..
My simple things: Own a gun, read my Bible, and be a well-informed voter.
Talked to my broker yesterday, asked him what I should be buying, he said "Guns and ammo."
While I am in the joke mode, here is one of the best bumber stickers I've ever seen: "I didn't go to work today, the voices in my head told me to stay home and clean my guns"……….
laissez-faire, n.
1) A policy by which the populace is allowed control of their own lives and commerce.
2) A disagreeable contagion nearing extinction because of the noble vaccine of socialism.
3) Fertile ground for growing the liberty of mankind ironically paved over by the flower children of the sixties to build an edifice of dependency.

Here is a real good article, from a Marine vet:
http://fairpoint.net/~icpchad/editorscornertired….
So the president claims he is taking his time deciding about Afghanistan because it's important to him to "get it right" yet he and his cronies have been pushing bill after bill at us in an attempt to meet some sort of deadline but it's not important enough when talking about trillions of dollars of spending to take the time to "get it right". What's wrong with this picture?
Ha ha! Good one.
Khalid Sheikh Muhammed to be tried in NYC.
Sure, give them rights as citizens and try them here. Put them up in the Lincoln Bedroom while they wait.
He does look better since they cleaned him up a bit……….
http://www.grouchyoldcripple.com/archives/004442….
“Barry the Brainless,” is bringing Khalid Sheik Mohammad(?) to NY for trial, just wow! Get ready CIA for discovery, and thus America get ready this witless egalitarian is going to get people hurt or worse. But, we must remember it’s for the children, or the planet, …sheesh! What a dumbass!
I totally agree with you. I can respect a socialist who says we should institute socialism. Debating with those people has actually helped me to become more articulate in my own conservative views. I can't stand when socialist politicians talk about how much they love the free market and then push for the government taking over private businesses.
But Valerie Dunn's husband is taking the guys palce .. they are jsut moving him oout and her husband in …..(watch the left hand)
Sorry "Anita Dunn"
Yes. Anita Dunns Husband.
It is a shell game. I wonder, is Craig going to be moved to the basement, with Anita Dunn and Van Jones?
SABOTAGE THIS MARXIST REGIME!

GO GALT Y'ALL!
While Obama is globe trotting around the world, now might be a good time to put the "birther" issue to rest. Have the State Department check to see if he has a valid passport, and deny him re-entry into the USA. Of course, he does have our plane…………
There is only one problem with going Galt.
Take it from someone who has just taken one full year off, that is a lot of free time. Especially if you are used to being a workaholic. If it weren't for this website, and other like it, I'd have plumb gone loco.
It has been an experience though. It has given me a chance to meetmany likeminded people all over the country. There is a movement building, and when it hits the incumbents, the democrats, the Intelligensia and Academia, they are going to collectively gasp "W T F!"
Someone from another post referred me to a site called http://www.Dearpolitician.org to write my politicians. The site is really cool in the fact that it automates everything and you can write your President, Vice President, Senators, and Congressman. The really interesting parts are that you can write complete Senate and Congressional committees. After you write what you want to say in the body of the template, you can print them off and mail them yourself or you can have Dearpolitician.org fax them to their offices instantly for FREE. If you want your letters delivered today, go to that site! Just passing along a cool site!
I totally agree. Besides the uneducated voters, It would also be nice if generational voters that do know when a candidate sucks but just can't bring themselves to vote for someone else outside of their party would wake up. Simply because their family voted Democrat or Republican for decades doesn't mean they have to vote that way too. I know way too many people in my area that voted for Obama simply because he was a Democrat and they knew he was the worst of the lot but couldn't bring themselves to vote for a Republican because their family always voted Democrat.

Khalid Sheikh Muhammed.
Let's see if I got this straight; Obongo just gave his Muslim brethern the same "rights" as every American citizen?
Ok. I'm catching on now.
Do a little research on the Nuremberg Trials.
A small price to rid ourselves of this worthless socialist community organizer occupying the Office of the Presidency.
But no more free jet fuel for Air Farce 1! ( Can we sneak Pelosi, Waxman, Biden Schuner and Reid into the cargo hold?)
Cook has a very interesting post up on early trouble for the Democrats in 2010 http://www.cookpolitical.com/charts/house/competi... . I think Cook and hopefully the Beltway establishment don't quite understand just how much trouble Pelosi's Democrats are in. Cook shows 80 Dem seats in play and 26 Republicans; however, other than Joesph Cao of Louisianna in a D+25 District (Cold Cash Jefferson's old seat) these Republican seats are in neutral or Republican leaning districts. The Democrats have 28 districts where the Republican leaning is greater than +5.
Now if we could just run some independent conservatives in those districts where the Republicans have not been competitive we might be able to take the House away from the Democrats in 2010. http://www.firefifty.com/phpwiki/index.php
"The Obama administration is bringing 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed to New York City for a civilian trial."
Hey 9-11 victims – How do you feel now for voting for Obama …. This guy is coming home – the place where he sent planes into buildings and 3000 died and to make a mockery of the USA ….. This trial will take years and cost MILLIONS of YOUR tax dollars – WHY HASN'T EVERYONE CALLED THIER CONGRESSMEN SCREAMING !!!! WHY ???? YES I AM SCREAMING BECAUSE I AM PISSED AS HELL !!!!! as should all AMERICIANS !!!!
How's that vote for Obama working for ya now?
My God people how can you not see he is a Muslim??? What more will it take???
Put a shift back on the line at Boeing, build another. One item of "stimulus" spending I could support.
Good…. Everyone should use it and write them all to tell them THEY ARE DONE unless thay stand up for this Sheik Mohammed thing !!!! Stand up – cannot you not see we are loosing this country more and more everyday ?
Leadfingers
That is what I have been saying……….the rush to the edge of the cliff……and people buy it.
Next to George Washington, Calvin Coolidge is my favorite president.

Hope and Change.
I wonder, how that Hope and Change is working for our Boys in Afghanistan?
While they sit there, like sitting ducks, waiting for the reinforcements that thier General has requested, reinforcements that will never come, I wonder if they have time to reflect, hunkered down in the sand. Reflect on how Custer might have felt………?
This is deplorable. General McChrystal requests troops, Obama lets him go out on a limb and cuts it off. Not Eric #$*#7=#* Holder is in TV, giving rights to Khalid Sheik Muhammed, allowing him to stand trial in New York. Eric Holder couldn't investigate ACORN, what is he going to do with Muslim Jihaddists?
It’s not surprising that the final Lou Dobbs show on CNN didn’t get a ratings bump. The news came out so late that there was effectively no warning or chance for any casual viewers to tune in.

Right. I was not much happier with President Bush in this regard.
Socialism is bad regardless of who is pushing it. Capitalism is at least more honest and admits that, "What's in it for me?" is a legitimate question.
Surely Obama has a lot of apologies to offer Japan on our behalf.
Next they will be offering them amnesty, ensuring they can buy health insurance legally, draw social security while getting their college tuition paid for and making sure they won't be required to present valid ID when voting in the next presidential election. Perhaps the left will even go as far as to organize huge marches to protest the unfair treatment of these "patriots" while they aimlessly hurl accusations of racist at anyone who dares to question the motives of a member of a racial minority.
And when they get off, as they clearly may in civil court due to lack of concrete evidence, he can smile at the world and say "see how good we are, see how honest and just, you can trust and love us now!" scuse me while I go vomit.
Agree with Cowboy. I was out 6 weeks (injured) and about went bonkers. The Galt-like movement I've read about may be worth looking at though. Some folks are putting off all major purchases until 0 and his hopey changey czars are gone. The bumper sticker: Not until he's gone. New car? Buy used. Major plant purchase? Deferred. Makes economizing a political statement.
Hard news and my first American exclusive.
Yep, it's real.
PRESIDENT OBAMA MEETS WITH TAX-EVADING ALIEN

"OBA_MAO" – The Chinese are saying what we here are thinking. I'm so glad they did this, unintentionally drawing attention to our Dear Leader's attraction to the mind-set that has become programmed into several generations of Chinese.
This is something the White House spokesunits and spinmeisters may have difficulty explaining if any reporter (Read: Fox News only) has the guts to ask about it.
Read the Fox News piece linked below to learn the provenance of the term "OBA-MAO."

So being a Muslim = Jihaddist? Stop giving births to morons and go finish high-school fool.
