#1 "A reinvigorated conservative leadership has a chance of leading the party to victory".

This will be Democrat and Republican and Independent conservatives. The real tea party.
The left and media want to squash them but they can't. They are so outnumbered. They only need a voice to focus their energy and drive. The tropical depression is developing. Perhaps a hurricane. We will have to keep watch. This could be a cat 5. :) Another Regan event with no Tip O'Neil to bugger things up.

#2 The "Constitutional Crisis" began in January of 2008. What we are seeing today are simply more nails in the coffin of liberty. It was reported that mounted police will be patrolling the WWII memorial today. Symbols of American greatness and heraldry were the Champ's first targets. Sending back to England, the Oval Office bust of Churchill on his first day in office, an early indicator of things to come.

#3 It was reported that mounted police will be patrolling the WWII memorial today.

Amazing how an open monument that didn't require any attention 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year suddenly needs mounted police. Can you say 'police state' boys and girls?

#4 If I weren't working, I would go up to DC just to defy them.

It should be interesting if the government starts arresting these veterans. The news pictures would be interesting "There is James Jones, age 88, who was an 18 year old infantryman at the Battle of the Bulge, being arrested for visiting the WW II memorial".

#5 What do you suppose would be the effect of a taser on a horse?

#7 I think you mean January 2009 - when Obumbles swore (and almost immediately broke) his first oath of office.

But I think the crisis has been stewing for long before then.

I'd rather you tazed the rider - the poor horse isn't at fault.

Whiskey rebellion?

#10 What do you suppose would be the effect of a taser on a horse?

At best, a thrown rider. At worst, a hoof through your skull. Rather risky. Cattle prods pack more oomph and its best to get them just behind the front legs.

Don't ask how I know this.

#11 At the end of the article: That isnt enough: they have to present a credible program to restore economic growth and opportunity.
Good luck with that. Even with restored opportunities, economic growth may be minimal.
