This weekend I'm heading for Boiling Springs, S.C., to join one of the many TEA party events that will be taking place around the country July 4.
I received inquiries and interest from people involved in several of the events that are taking place; so why Boiling Springs?
Because organizers there did not try to discourage me from presenting what I believe to be the true and essential message about the crisis the United States now faces. I believe it's a crisis that goes beyond Obama and his determination to drive America over the cliff of socialist self-destruction. It goes beyond the willingness of self-serving elites to plunge generations of Americans into enslaving national debt that will hollow out both our economic strength and our liberty. I cannot talk about the crisis that grips us today without reference to the collapse of moral principle and national character that lies at the root of it.

Can you tell I’ve had dinner in South Carolina before?
Seriously, I think Dr. Keyes is right, and I hope there’s a good turnout in Boiling Springs, which is something of a resort, iirc. The connection between moral decline and the loss of political and economic liberty is abundantly demonstrated, and pretending not to notice, or throwing a snit when it’s pointed out, is childish.

Boiling Springs SC is just a suburban bedroom community north of Spartanburg. Classic middle class Americana.
