A Good Night Was Had by Freedom Lovers – Dems and Communists, Not So Much

By: Trevor Loudon
New Zeal

It has been a big evening in U.S. history. Tonight I hung out with a couple hundred U.S. patriots at the Tea Party Patriot‘s election night party at the Capitol Hyatt in Washington, D.C. It’s just past 3 AM here and another full on day tomorrow, but first I want to draw attention to a few excellent victories and some heart-breaking, very close calls amongst Tea-Partiers and GOPers.

Florida didn’t disappoint. Marco Rubio smashed his Democratic opponent, becoming the new senator for Florida. And my favorite, Colonel Allen West pulled in a good victory in the 22nd District with over an 8% lead.

Christine O’Donnell fought so hard and put up with so much vitriol from the Democrats and feminazis. In the strongly blue state, Chris Coons trumped with a 16.6% lead. KeyWiki has extensive, in-depth research on Coon’s affiliations here. Christine will be back fighting before you know it. As she said in her concession speech, Delaware politics have been changed forever – for the better.

Covert socialist and regular New Zeal target Mary Jo Kilroy, lost her Congressional seat in Ohio, but it looks like another covert socialist, Neil Abercrombie will win the Hawaii Governor’s race.

As I write, anti-Veterans and Council for a Livable World-supported Barbara Boxer leads Carly Fiorina by 6% in what has been a nail-bitingly close race, despite mainstream media pundits calling the race in Boxer’s favor with only 0.3% of the vote in. With 20% of the votes in for instance, Carly was in the lead.

Am sorry Tom Tancredo didn’t win the Colorado Governorship and especially sorry that Sharron Angle didn’t beat the execrable Harry Reid in the Nevada Senate race. ACORN and SEIU have been strong in Nevada, mmmmmmm…….

Allen Grayson lost in Florida…..a friend told me that a Democrat of his acquaintance was pleased because Grayson “would now be able to seek the hope he so obviously needs.”

The G.O.P. now controls Congress and has made big gains in the Senate and Governor’s races. It’s goodbye to your favorite House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and hello John Boehner, the new Republican House Majority Leader!

This is the Republicans’ last chance to prove they can be trusted to live up to their own principles.

If they don’t, they will be finished – and so may we all.

Leon Weinstein: The U.S. Economy and Lottery

By: Trevor Loudon
New Zeal

Incredible! How can this video have only had 700 views? Leon Weinstein, who left Soviet socialism for American liberty in 1974, speaks in this video of the way that the current Administration is crippling the economy. He very masterfully explains this with the example of the lottery. Take four minutes to listen to this man who knows Socialism only too well and then pass on this video. It needs to go viral.

Mr. Weinstein’s website is here. Once again, watch this video – and if it impacts you like it impacted me, pass it on.

FEWER SOCIALISTS IN OUR HOUSE

By: AJ

From: The Radio Patriot – by: Big Fur Hat at IOwnTheWorld.com

Today is historic for Americans! The number of Socialist’s/Communist’s in the House of Representatives just got smaller.

The Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) was established in 1991 in partnership with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and members of Congress who came out of the Socialist/Communist closet joined the CPC.

Yesterday’s mid-term elections eliminated four high-profile CPC members.

In addition, CPC member Diane Watson (CA-33) is no longer in the House.

Also, one Arizona race is too close to call in District 7. If the incumbent Raul Grijalva (D) loses his seat to Ruth McClung (R) (a 28 year old physicist), Raul will be another CPC member to leave the House.

As we know, “Progressive” is the buzz word for Socialist, Communist, Marxist, etc. Voting Progressives out of our government is a triumph for all Americans!
