Let's Have One Giant Tea Party for the Entire World

There are 6.7 billion people on earth. That is my estimation. And I would estimate that several billion of them among the six, they want to come to America and live with us.

Do we have room for them?

What if several billion of them just, you know, one day get up and just start walking in?

“But we have borders, Brian… I mean, like the military will stop them or something …” – you might tell me something like that.

No, I am not talking about an aggressive invasion of America by an army of several billion strong. No – I mean, women, children, old, young, men, perhaps some of the few millions of pets along with them, and some chickens for food or something - they just start to walk in, unarmed, they just start to do that.

What are we going to do? Start shooting them? Like, we see a half billion just walked in already, ok now we will drop a nuclear bomb right over there and that will stop the rest? Here’s a mega-crowd of folks coming, we are going to open up on them with our military and mow them all down?

“It is inconceivable, Brian… I mean, billions cannot just pack up and start to walk over here… What about food? Who would feed them on the way?” – you might tell me something like that.

Well, you would probably be making a lot of sense, there is wisdom in the basic inconceivable logistics in this happening. I mean, how would you squeeze a billion here and there into boats, into the planes in the sky and the fields and plains of the earth that lead into America, to even “fit” into the bottleneck of the very dirt they are walking on, right?

I suppose that would be logical. But, you know, it is sort of strange how the new “stuff” we keep inventing, be it technology, or something into the next step beyond technology, changes the logistics of things in a way we never imagined.

I mean, maybe – there might be some low-cost transporter coming our way real soon, like right out of Star Trek or something.

See, the thing is – the question would be, how would such an idea even come to the minds of billions of people to even THINK of just walking into here, into America, just because they feel like it?

I suppose, if we keep letting people do sort that right now, it COULD be a possibility that one day, out of the blue, this idea, of just walking in, in very, very, VERY large numbers – well it might just occur to a bunch of people who are “over there”, and they all just decide they are going to “come here”. Not ask first. They start walking, packing up, getting on a donkey, or whatever, and “All Together Now” – like maybe tens of thousands the first try … then a hundred thousand – and then, like, the whole world is just spilling in.

What are we going to do?

Just instinct alone tells us, that would be the end. The end of America – and the end of all the reasons someone would even want to come here in the first place. All these people, just walking into here, for something better perhaps – they themselves would be destroying the very reason for coming here.

The boat would sink, with everyone in it.

“So that is exactly why it won’t ever happen, Brian! People aren’t that stupid!” – you might tell me something like that.

Ok. Maybe several billion is too big of a concept even to consider. But ….

… but, we are sort of setting us up for kind of that situation. I mean, if it occurs to them, that if they all just starting walking into here, seriously, who is going to stop them?

All that needs to happen is, the idea just comes to them. Enough of them. The idea.

And, it sort of looks to me like the liberals want to put the idea in the heads of some, or all, of them. To just walk into here. And if the numbers are big enough, man, no one is going to stop them – no one is going to mow them down with machine guns. It isn’t going to happen. They WILL just walk into here.

“Oh no, Brian … you see, there is this thing we believe in, in this country, called ‘Private Property’. And if these billions just start walking in here, well, I have a right to protect my property from trespassers – I’m going to pull out my weapons and use my constitutional right to start to pick them off …” – you might tell me something like that. Oh really? How many bullets to do you have?

Like, here comes the billions, and they all decide to start singing “It’s a Small World” while they just come walking in. Their numbers are large. You see the folks in the front of the crowd, but the crowd is so deep that there is no way you can even see the middle much less the back of the crowd. With numbers like that, those in the back of the crowd aren’t even going to HEAR your bullets go off. And you will run out of those bullets before those a little bit back in the crowd even SEE your gun at all.

Understand? Logistics work in a lot of different ways. At that point, it really will be a small world.

So I guess a good idea, or one way of thinking about it, is to make sure early on that this sort of idea never occurs to them. That while the numbers just walking in are still small, then and only then is the time to really close the borders. That might help. No guarantee … but it might help.

“But Brian, even with such forethought, this idea of just walking in en-mass, well it may come to the heads of these billions ANYWAY, just out of the blue one day, right” – you might say.

Yeah. That is true. It might. But, in general humans only act as a herd once they see a precedent that casts an image in their mind to suddenly go buffalo on everyone else. They see “small herds” repeat the thing, and then suddenly kind of a lightning bolt goes off and you got this one big huge herd.

So, there is some method in the madness: (1) You protect your borders now, (2) you enforce the laws now, even though, yes, it’s bad already, in that you got these gangs just roaming right in, right now, just busting right in, and it wouldn’t be proper to call their numbers “small”, but, … but … (3) it’s no way as bad as it’s going to get if you don’t do it now, and you (4) have a chance.

There is something else to remember, if it gets that bad.

You know those liberal types? If and when it gets that bad, they are going to go out and greet the billions.

Yup.

They are going to greet them, and lock arms with them, and walk with them – and get them to all sing “Give Peace a Chance”.

The Peace thing, in this regard, you can translate as follows: don’t shot these women and children, don’t bring war upon them.

Liberals think peace is the absence of war. The absence of conflict.

They think peace is a manifestation of something that happens outside of a human being. Like not shooting women and children who just come walking right in singing “Give Peace a Chance”.

Is that peace?

Or is peace, something, that happens inside of a human being?

In America – the folks we call “conservatives”, from what I can see, they think peace is something that happens within a person.

Like, just because we are not fighting a war with Cuba, doesn’t mean there is peace. Inside of a man who is thrown into one of Castro’s prisons, there is no peace for that man. There is no peace. Inside.

Peace is way bigger than what liberals think it is.

It is not on the outside only. It is not “throwing all your guns into space”. It is not the absence of war. It is not the absence of conflict.

It is inside. You have to have the chance, the freedom, to look inside and find that peace. In the soul. And you can’t do that in the middle of some crazy scene with several billion people just walking into your house. And in fact, whatever was the reason that made these people do this, they won’t have any peace either. In fact, they will destroy their own cause, their own purpose, their own reason for even coming at all.

The best chance for peace is liberty for all people. Freedom. So that everyone in world can have a chance to find that peace inside. If you want to give peace a chance, you better give freedom a chance. There is a strong connection between freedom, liberty, and peace.

And then, if this is a chance given to the world, the rest of the world won’t need to get up and start walking to someplace else. Because home is where the heart is. And the heart will be at peace.

So the best chance for peace, and you know there NEVER be a total answer for ANYTHING in the human flesh outside of God, is probably – Democracy.

Ok, maybe Republican-racy. You know what I mean. America, that is what I mean. It is what made America, and it is why they want to come here.

There should never have been a United Nations. Simply being “United” doesn’t mean much, if the principle isn’t liberty and freedom.

I mean – where did the very desire for peace come from? From the outside? No. It is inside of every person, it is part of being, and to be, you should have liberty and freedom.

So when liberals talk of peace, they don’t even mean peace. What they mean is a victorious war for their side, their philosophy, it means “You surrender, we win”. Their peace is in fact a form of war. They just can’t leave other families alone. They know better, and they got to run our lives. And when they see herds coming, they like that. They want to force things. They like the herd, and not the individual.

Really, we need to leave the past behind. Forget the United Nations. Perhaps the real future is a League of Democracies. Foment Democracy across the globe. Or better yet, you GIANT TEA PARTY FOR THE ENTIRE WORLD! Teach it. That is one way, one piece of the puzzle, for peace.

But be careful. The world is very complicated. And sometimes, there is no answer. You just take one day at a time. You just look inside.

They WILL just walk into here.

Right across those pesky oceans, too.
