I’m so glad that you are aware of and know quite a bit about Agenda 21.

I see now your point better that you make about people not challenging certain oxen they do not want gored. The freebie goodies from the Federal teat are a powerful drug. Also, as you say, the overwhelming numbers of progressive compromises made for far too long of our Founding structures of government and societal institutions have indeed left us vulnerable to the depredations of the ones with malintent toward individual liberty and freedom.

However, while some in the Tea Party no doubt are disappointingly unprincipled as you describe, I prefer to think that many are only just waking up and do not see the big picture yet and need rapid education from people such as yourself and the participants on this thread to get them up to speed. (Praying for God to accelerate that process of education according to His Will doesn’t hurt either, IMHO!...and having Him also take on the education of the unprincipled would be smart as well!)

Rush spoke some yesterday about the dangers of the welfare state consciousness, which I believe you are referring to. He discussed reports of good people getting hooked in to the goodies, and then finding it hard to withdraw from them because it is so difficult to work as hard as it would take to replace the freebies...then they become angry and resentful toward the government. It was quite well spoken, and fits very much in with my understanding of your own point.

It is heartbreaking to see our country brought to such a place, but I would encourage all of us not to give up, but keep pressing forward with whatever the next step...even if it is only a baby step... may be towards re-securing our Constitution and Founding structures.

Blessings
