Besides the "apostacy's of the Bush administration and the outrages of the Obama administration", besides the "existential threat of Obamacare", besides the demographic threat of amnesty, the country is hurtling toward a fiscal meltdown. The Tea Party, as an expression of the conservative movement, believes viscerally that spending is out of control, that the debt is at the cusp of being irretrievable, that the unfunded liabilities probably can never be paid, and, at a time when all patriots in decency would work to curb spending and save ourselves, the existing administration actually wants to precipitate a crisis.
The failure to defund Obamacare is but a metaphor for the failure to bring the nation's fiscal house in order, a metaphor for the failure to apply the brakes before we plunge over the precipice. All of the other considerations, while important, are but symptoms of a government which is verging on autocracy and which has no intention of saving the system. In fact, this administration is committed ideologically to the destruction of the system as it was constitutionally created.
Whether one quotes the adage, never let a crisis go to waste, whether one points to Cloward and Piven, whether one cites the plotting's of Saul Alinsky, one must conclude from any of these sources that a crackup is exactly what the elites of the left want.
Therefore, it does not matter whether big business is for or against the tactics employed by The Tea Party. Moderates, big business, most of the unenlightened Democrat party constituency also known as low information voters, are all fixating on irrelevancies. The endgame is there to be seen.
The author has not seen it.
Well said.
