The heart of a nation is used to describe a nations character just as the heart of man is used to describe his character. Character is comprised of our innermost thoughts, motives and attitudes. God knows what goes on inside our minds. He evaluates our intents and motivations. The internal aspects of our character count the most with Him. He considers our behavior in light of what is in our hearts.

Our nation is nothing more than a collection of individuals; it does…

Currently, Tricare for Life (TFL) pays nearly all medical costs for acute care not covered by Medicare and requires few out-of-pocket fees.

The proposed change would require a copay to cover the first $550 under Medicare and TLF would only cover 50% of the next $4,950.

Further, the report ops to reduce beneficiaries' incentive to switch to [military treatment facilities (MTFs)], this option would require TLF beneficiaries seeking care from MTFs to make copays equal to…

I couldn't get a decent link to the video, so I am posting from a non YouTube site.  This is well worth the 3 minutes it takes to watch it.  Paul Ryan did an excellent job explaining what next year's budget will do to "our" children's futures and paying down the deficit.

Below is an article from The Heritage Foundation concerning the Commander-in-Chief's refusal to pay the military if the federal government shuts down:

Commander-in-Chief…

The phones are ringing off the hook for tea party interviews regarding the possible Government shutdown.  This is the biggest news in a long time and they want to hear from us.

We have our opinion and hope to hear yours.

What do you think about this potential shutdown? 

I will be on WTLV from 5:30 - 6:00…

You can tell that someone feels threatened by you when they publicly degrade and poke fun at you.    Given that standard, the Tea Party has been under the skin of Democrats from the day that it sprung to life a little more than 2 years ago.  As recent as the current budget battle, Harry Reid blames the Tea Party for not allowing…

Is It Just Me????

I trust our justice system and believe it is blind in its dispensation of justice; or do I?  My experience with the “system” created a deficit of trust and confidence.  However, I have to ask myself if I am looking through the “too close” to the situation glasses with an inability to be impartial in my observations. 

If you have to move out of the way to avoid contact with an…

This is very interesting, but not surprising, for there has been an undercurrent spreading, and sometimes surfacing, among members of Congress, prominent government figures, conservative media, and right here on the FCTP website in blog postings and comments by members, with regard to impeachment. Republican Senator Rand Paul has spoken publicly in favor of it. So has Democrat…

Why are we not surprised? The Democrats must be tremendously worried that there will be a solid conservative candidate that the Tea Parties across America will get behind and push to victory. Evidently they see that "we, the 'Tea Party,' have come a long way, baby." Plus, they've got to know they're already bleeding Hispanic supporters, for the omnipresent polls tell them so. They have, also, already sullied themselves by taking partisan political…

There are many issues out there which get me, shall we say, a little ticked off. Illegal immigration probably takes the cake though. I despise illegal immigration as much as I despise cold, rainy weather (and spiders). What gets me ticked off even more about this issue are the morons who actually support illegal immigration. “We’re all illegal immigrants! We’re all just humans bro! They just want a better life! They work the jobs that nobody else will!” I could go on with the…

America, consider your ways, as a people you are looking for government to provide what God has withheld. As a nation we have turned our backs on Him and tried to be our own provider. Frustration and futility are the corrective disciplines of God.

 

Who is left among us who saw the country in its former glory? How do you see it now? Does it not seem to you like nothing in comparison?

 

Even in today's circumstances the Lord of hosts, says take courage and work for…

Daily Countdown to April 15^th Tea Party Rally  

The Landing -- 6:30 – 9:30…

Have you ever wanted to be someone else?

Have you ever wished a family member might do this or that better? 

Have you ever thought you were not of value because you couldn’t do certain things? 

I can honestly say that at…

The ultimate measure of our nation is not where we stand in moments of comfort and convenience but where we stand and how we respond in times of challenge and controversy. God has humbled the greatest nation on earth like never before. Is that enough or must he destroy us?

Personnel and National Integrity is the rock on which the nation was built.

We must put accountability and trust back into the financial markets. Loosing wealth is one thing; loosing trust…
