by Christine Morabito (July, 2011) Senator Marco Rubio’s office has a message for the Tea Party: “Stay active and stay engaged.” This was just one of the many statements of support received by a delegation of Massachusetts Tea Party members during a recent visit to Washington. Our goal was to meet with influential legislators and […]
By: Christine Morabito (June, 2011) Merrimack Valley Tea Party After we elected our first black president, I recall Rush Limbaugh correcting a caller who predicted that henceforth, liberals would finally stop playing the race card. Rush disagreed, arguing that race relations would worsen, not improve. In Limbaugh’s opinion, you would now be unable […]
By: Christine Morabito – April, 2011 The giant CITGO sign looming over Fenway Park is one of the most recognized landmarks in Boston. But what it symbolizes is as controversial as when the Red Sox sold Babe Ruth to the Yankees. We have all seen the Citizens Energy commercials where former Congressman Joseph Kennedy […]
By: Christine Morabito – March, 2011 It was worth the bullying and name-calling we endured over the last 2 years to finally bring us to this point. How refreshing it is to be appreciated for the countless hours and sleepless nights spent saving our country from those who wish to radically transform it. At this […]
Greater Boston Tea Party President Demands Apology By: Christine Morabito, February, 2011 The Tea Party and conservative talk radio survived another unwarranted character assault after last month’s horrific shooting rampage in Arizona. While conservatives prayed for our country, others cast stones. There will always be unscrupulous opportunists who attempt to advance their political agenda at every turn. But, to politicize […]
By: Christine Morabito – January, 2011 Four years ago House Speaker Nancy Pelosi promised to “drain the swamp” of political corruption in our Nation’s Capital. A difficult task–especially for someone wallowing in her own scandalous ooze, accused of using military aircraft for her private and leisure travel. Not only did she break her promise, but […]
Baddour Calls on Parole Board to Resign By: Tom Duggan – January, 2011 Parole Board Must Resign State Senators Steve Baddour (D) Methuen and Bruce Tarr (R) Glocester, say that the killing of Woburn Police Officer Jack Maguire at the hands of Dominic Cinelli, a man set free by Governor Deval Patrick’s Parole Board […]
By: Christine Morabito – December, 2010 I love classic films, but the one that always makes my skin crawl is the 1968 cult classic, “Night of the Living Dead.” I could not help noticing the eerie parallels between this film and the Lame Duck Congress, recently referred to as the Zombie Congress. These soon to […]
By: Tom Weaver – November, 2010 What unites this group of Americans? They meet, share ideas and listen without the benefit of elected leaders or organization rules. What is the glue, the spirit and the common beliefs that create the Tea Party Movement? Perhaps those beliefs embraced by the Tea Party Movement are indeed […]
By: Christine Morabito – November, 2010 I write this column with a heavy heart as conservatives across the state begin a painful recovery process. I won’t pretend that I’m not incredibly disappointed in the Massachusetts election results and just as surprised. But, the way I see it, we have two choices: to stick our head […]
By: Ralph Zazula – October, 2010 A bipartisan citizen’s initiative called “Show ID to Vote” has been created in Massachusetts to address fraudulent voting across the USA. Through increased awareness it seeks to improve the integrity of the vote in the upcoming elections this November and beyond. By simply suggesting that voters voluntarily Show […]
Sen. Baddour a Frequent Attendee At Tea Party Meetings By: Tom Duggan – October 08, 2010 Democrat State Senator Steve Baddour of Methuen has been seen networking and even speaking at Merrimack Valley Tea Party meetings in Andover, and North Andover. Given the hostility that leaders in his own political have for the Tea […]
By: Christine Morabito – October, 2010 I’m absolutely humbled by the Tea Party and what they have been able to accomplish over the past 18 months. Not bad for a haphazard group of disaffected citizens who have been called irrelevant and were never expected to sustain momentum until the November elections. It is my […]
By: Christine Morabito – September, 2010 In 1975 Sen. William Proxmire, D-WI, became the taxpayer’s superhero when he began passing out Golden Fleece Awards, spotlighting pork-barrel projects that wasted taxpayer dollars. This infuriated some of his colleagues, who could no longer squander other people’s money with impunity. Examples included: $84,000 to study “why people […]
By: Christine Morabito – August, 2010 I normally recommend that the Tea Party ignore the ridiculous charges of racism leveled by our opponents. However, while watching the Sunday talk shows, it occurred to me that we may be the only ones ignoring them. The hullabaloo comes on the heels of the NAACP’s resolution to deem […]
