TEA Taxed, Enough, Already,, The number one problem facing this nation, bar none, is the cancerous explosion in the size and pervasiveness of government.
Those immoral behaviors will not directly affect me to any noticeable degree because i will not engage in them. I will try to win those people over to my way of thinking.
But taxes and national health care affect me DIRECTLY and SEVERELY.
Focus, on the task, enslave the government beast, then we can work to make changes in those other areas. Without economic freedom, all is lost.
The problem is post-election, we have some folks using revisionist history to describe what the Tea Party was about.
The Tea Party was about smaller government, less regulation, and taxes.
If you examine the official platforms of major Tea Party organizations, you will not see any reference to social issues like abortion and gay rights.
Sure they are valid issues for conservatives but you can’t ipso post facto magically add them when they did not exist in the Tea Party platforms before the election.
You’re like the guy whose whole house is caving in around you and instead of checking the foundation to see what the problem is, you’re climbing up on what’s left of the roof to nail in some new shingles.
Without its moral basis, there is no America. There is no possibility of self-government in liberty.
>>Those immoral behaviors will not directly affect me
But the demoralization of society DOES affect you.
Observe those individuals who falsified their income on FRAUDULENT Liar Loans - and CAUSED the financial crisis.
Who demoralized them and taught them it’s ok to Lie?
“Fiscal Conservatives” and their sociopathological comrades in the left wing of The Party(tm), that’s who.
“Those immoral behaviors will not directly affect me to any noticeable degree because i will not engage in them. I will try to win those people over to my way of thinking.”
That is so much the exact problem! That is the faulty thinking that got us here! That will be the reason we fail. Our whole culture has changed because the ‘conservatives’ are trying to outdo each other in the ‘none of my business’ fallacy!
What happens in somebodies bedroom has transformed into what happens on TV, in our schools, in our marriages, in our laws, in our financial support and health system, our government, our military, our churches, so in-our-faces constantly!!!!! And oh my goodness how fast it went when they overturned those sodomy laws!!!
The arguement it doesn’t effect me is SO increadably lame!
It is beyond comprehension anyone can say that anymore!
