Leave it to the mainstream media to lie about the Tea Party Movement. But pictures don't lie. Standing tall against the constant media cries of "racism," the Tea Party Movement marched forward to achieve a historic victory in the midterm elections as the Republicans regained control of the House. But it wasn't easy.

As we saw in 2009, the biased liberal media continued to use its White House-supplied speaking points against the Tea Party Movement in 2010: Call them racists. Ridicule them as uneducated and ignorant. Cast them out as crazy and illiterate. This is what happens when the Democrats see power slipping from their hands. This is what happens when the media becomes a machine for propaganda and turns on an American public that it is supposed to be objectively serving.

Over the past two years, the mainstream media have come out of the closet to aid and abet President Obama and his Democrat-controlled Congress. The Democrats, misusing their power, have passed legislation in the dark of night and on the weekends when the Capitol switchboard is off and the pleas of the people are muffled. They have circumvented the U.S. Constitution with procedural measures and they have laughed it off - believing that the American people would forget about it. They believed the American people would forget about all the money squandered, all the corrupt earmarks and pork; that the people wouldn't remember the broken promises and golf outings, the lavish Spanish vacations, the Air Force One Broadway date nights, the bowing to our enemies, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.

But President Obama, the progressive Democrats, and the mainstream media underestimated the American people. They underestimated the Forgotten American. They underestimated the Tea Party Movement. And in 2010, the collective passion, angst, anger, frustration, sadness, depression, outrage, fear, resentment, intelligence, wisdom, and hope of a real people's revolution was expressed in the way our Founding Fathers intended: at the ballot box. 

All across America, the White House finally felt the power of the people. Harnessing that power, the Tea Party Movement laid waste to the liberal hopes of Democrats, old and new, on November 2, 2010. Now, in 2011, the House of Representatives will have a new face, a new heart, and a new focus: to reign in Big Government abuses and return America back to something that Thomas Jefferson and George Washington would have recognized. Let us hope that in 2011, this new Congress does not let us down.

America, your voice has been heard. This is your story. Here is your opportunity to relive the Tea Party Movement's 2010 victory - America's victory - in pictures:
