TEA = Taxed Enough Already I am a strong conservative.. But I also understand what the TEA in TEA Party stands for...

That is not what it stands for.

It stands for a return to our founding principles which would include a return to traditional American Values.

The Tea Party is simply a revolution against Federal Statism and a return to a Constitutional Republic. That being said, one of the stated rights in the Constitution and in traditional America is the right to life. Abortion was a crime at the time of the founding and continued to be a crime in nearly all states until the 7th Decade of the 20th Century, when by an act of Judicial Tyranny women were suddenly granted the right to murder their own children in the name of "Civil Rights".

Yes we are taxed enough already, but the Tea Party was a reaction to run away regulations and spending and the destruction of State and Local Sovereignty and it was not a response to an increase in our taxes. Indeed, among those whom the liberals want to tax more (those making over $250,000 a year), I dare say that most of them would not identify with the Tea Party Movement. They tend to belong to the Wine and Croissant Party.

The same usurpers who can 'find' a federal right to abortion can also 'find' a federal right to your hard-earned dollars.

Taxed Enough Already?

Does that include Fed taxes that are spent on abortion through sleight-of-hand?

It really doesn't matter, for I've heard too often on O'Reilly that the Tea Party is a MIX of moderate dems and repubs with some conservative repubs involved, too. It's a cross-section of America, as they like to say....regular people you'd see everywhere.

And why I'm an independent conservative who will vote for the true conservative in any race for the remainder of my life, God giving me strength.

However, when comparing principles, these caught my eye, for, if an individual or group is wrong on LIFE, then they will compromise anything:

    Seven Principles of the Constitution Party are:

  • 1.Life: For all human beings, from conception to natural death;

  • 2.Liberty: Freedom of conscience and actions for the self-governed individual;

  • 3.Family: One husband and one wife with their children as divinely instituted;

  • 4.Property: Each individual's right to own and steward personal property without government burden;

  • 5.Constitution: and Bill of Rights interpreted according to the actual intent of the Founding Fathers;

  • 6.States' Rights: Everything not specifically delegated by the Constitution to the federal government, nor prohibited by the Constitution to the states, is reserved to the states or to the people;

  • 7.American Sovereignty: American government committed to the protection of the borders, trade, and common defense of Americans, and not entangled in foreign alliances.
