Written by Philip M. Giraldi: The Tea Party phenomenon has attracted a good deal of both good and bad attention in the media. Though it would perhaps be a stretch to describe it as a movement in that it has only limited organization and focus, it does tap into a genuine disconnect between the American […]
Submitted by Craig Nannini: As one of the founding leaders of the Charlotte Tea Party and local activist, I am giving my personal endorsement to Harold Johnson for Congress. First off I would like to thank all of the candidates who threw their hat into the 8th district race. This race is exceptionally critical in […]

Submitted by Dale Johnson Let’s just “imagine” for a moment. What if all CMS salaries were capped at $100,000, which is double the average median income in Charlotte. Principals and above–all make that same amount. I’m thinking we’d have two kinds of folks interviewing for top positions–unqualified and qualified. It would be the job of […]
Submitted by M. Townsend I recently read a piece about the oil spill disaster in the Gulf. Predictably, it was lambasting the efforts of environmentalists – reactionaries though many of them may be – to “put the nail in the coffin” of offshore drilling in the wake of this crisis.
