Imagine if the Tea Party had been this aggressive against the agenda of Obama and the Dems after they won in 2008 - instead of just peacefully protesting. The calls would have been for the NG to drag us outside and shoot us.
About 1,800 descend on Ohio Statehouse to protest changes to collective bargaining
They are counting on us being timid while they storm te walls and sieze power.
Tea Party people are generally made up of conservatives from all walks of life, different ages, sexes, differnty income brackets, different races. They are mostly educated and sophisticated, either by schooling or just plain God-given abilities and intelligence. They know they can make change peacefully, but assertively. Whereas the liberals and their socialist/communist agitators are mostly made up of young, inexperienced people who are easily duped by the media and the politicians. It is these immature dupes the Left is relying on take over America and reshape it into a sort of European Union Frankenstein, where there are few rich, few poor, most people just stuck in some worthless place in the 'middle', with no chance of economic advancement. Unlike Americans, (until Obama Care), they also have no chance of a top medical system that allows just about anyone to obtain high quality medical care when needed.
Mediocrity, from top to bottom, is Obama's and the Left's goal. This socialist plan is designed to make people believe that a big 'benevolent' GOVERNMENT is what we need to survive, and thus will bow down to it. People will hand over their freedom to government in return for government benefits. Meanwhile, the ruling class are getting wealthier and wealthier in Congress and the Senate, and increasingly more powerful as they snatch the power away from American citizens, where the Constitution clearly says the power is to lie. And with all the electronic wizardry at their disposal, the "law enforcement" groups now have the power to watch your every move and deed, and when the time is ready the world will come crashing down on many an un-suspecting American because of his conservative views, his or her "hate speech", or some petty 'crime' like running a red light while Big Brother catches you on camera. And new "crimes" are being writtin into the law books by the thousands every year. If you but look, you can see the ensnaring web being woven in place by government, the trap is already built and is being set, and the elite powers are at the ready to bring the curtain down on freedom.
But there's still hope for a free society. Yes, the Tea Party is non-violent, but that just might be a better strategy anway, because it will be better organized, smarter and more dangerous to the corrupt politicians. What the Tea Party really, really needs to do is stay tightly together, like a family, keep the squabbles to an absolute minimum, grow in numbers and never stop the fight against government corruption and the usurpation of the American people. The Tea Party IS working, just look at last November. The next election will show yet again that it's still working, as more RINOS are uncovered, and run out of office, as in last November's election. More and more liberals are being forced out as well.
The Tea Party is an ENORMOUS power for the good of America, but it must always remember this: those with the most patience and persistence win out in changing government policies, not those who are more vicious and violent. For the Left it's about money, benefits and power. For the Right, it's about FREEDOM from tyranny, for the people and for private enterprise.
WWII was the eternal proof that a free market system is the best system. Mired in a sluggish economy during FDR's socialism, WWII broke out. One of the silver linings in this dark cloud was that American was transformed from a second rate power to the greatest power ever. How? We began manufacturing again, government restraints were removed from businesses, everyone went to work, no matter the pay, business enterprises grew exponentially, and when the war ended the "war economy" transferred smoothly into a peace time economy, making cars instead of jeeps, work trucks and heavy equipment instead of military trucks and tanks, household metal products and tools instead of bullets and bombs. Innovation, something WWII forced us into, moved laterally into private enterprise and we began to design and manufacture all sorts of greatly improved products for the home, the workplace, the farms, the ship building industry and the construction industry. We became an industrial and technological giant. BECAUSE WE WERE FREE.
Let us hope it won't take another World War for us to remember the economic lessons we learned from WWII. FREEDOM for all, including industry, is essential to a strong, vibrant, first-class nation.
