You betcha! Common ideals do not come with race or creed! Thank goodness we can come together regardless of other differences. The major problems these days seem to be beliefs, nothing to do with other differences.

"They're the values upon which we were founded."

Unfortunately, the Left has defined the word "values" so loosely that it is of no use in the context of defining the essential principles of liberty.

Tea Partiers, Town Hallers, and all who truly embrace a "conservative" philosophy must define themselves and the ideas they represent as being the principles and ideas of liberty. They are the same ideas Thomas Jefferson capsulized in our Declaration of Independence and described as representing "the American mind" of 1776. And, they are the same ideas which formed the foundation of the United States Constitution, whose structure of government made it possible for the light of liberty to shine into a world where tyrants, till this day, try to enslave the minds of people.

Tea Partiers must not allow themselves to be defined as simply angry people. Theirs is a higher calling, a call to that same revolutionary spirit which motivated the "American mind" of 1776 and 1787.

Those ideas have been hidden, censored, denied, and obscured from view in the nation's textbooks, in the halls of Congress, and even in the churches, but technology has advanced the cause of liberty, and ordinary citizens, with the click of a mouse, can read the speeches and writings of the period from Jamestown to Philadelphia in 1787, and the censors can do nothing about that. Because of the arrogance and press for unprecedented power by the present Congress and Administration, American citizens are acquiring the Spirit of '76, and the ideas of liberty are as revolutionary today as they were then.

Those are not Republican values, Mormon values or white-millionaire values.

Thats right, I think it has something to do with the way God made us,by nature we are a freedom loving people.

God warns us time after time not to follow after the false religions of the false Gods, and thats what the lefties are doing.

By the way It seems amazing to me that those old white haired guys beat the whole british army,

I am getting old and white haired and judging by my self i do not think it could have been done with out a few fifteen year old boys to help, think God for those young guys that helped those old white haired men win freedom for us.
