Patrick Henry

by Al Maurer | 10:04 am, June 26, 2010

Today I’m at the El Paso County Tea Party, so I have a guest blogger: Patrick Henry. I took the Facebook test “Which Founding Father are you most like?” and he was it. I don’t have his skill at oratory, nor at writing so it’s his turn. The first words may not be familiar but [...]

Advice to Tea Parties

The parliamentary elections in the UK this week hold some lessons for us. As a long time observer of the British system, I have a perspective I’m going to share. Their parliamentary system is different from our presidential system. I made a few comments about that in The Role of Parties last summer. What their [...]
