Please do. There are eight million things that need to be attended to that we can actually legislate and fix. These jagoffs are DETERMINED to kill their children, people. You can’t save those kids. They’re equally determined to come after your kids, and your wallet. Now that is something you can do something about.
I was wondering why the slaughter of our most helpless humans was totally missing from their agenda. Disgusting.
Is there a more influential TEA Party activist than Jim Robinson of Free Republic? Is he saying this? No!
How about Sarah Palin? She is pretty influential in TEA circles and she isn’t saying this.
The TEA Party folks are generally about as pro-Life as one can get.
You only have one third of the government. Keep your powder dry on the social issues, until you hold the whole government again.
I can go along with this as long as it’s part of a plan to consolidate power and go slowly, no attempts at dramatic sweeps to change things. That puts people on edge. Use the liberal “salami” approach. Do things in a way that doesn’t draw too much attention (from the “media” especially). Pass laws that seem innocuous, but when put into action have some real teeth to get things done. Just don’t make it a media circus. We’ll lose (the “media” is on you-know-who’s side...).
Totally bogus article. It claims that some activists are representative of the TEA party? That is a bogus claim. The majority of the TEA party want a return to Constitutional government on all issues including a reversal of the illegal Supreme Court decision to allow the murder of innocent life. The majority of the TEA party also do not support un-Consitutional perversion rights as well.
Big whoop. The “Tea Party Activists” are two groups that usurped the “tea party” name. It means nothing.
Look here
“n a letter released today, according to Politico, the Tea Party activists, joined by representatives of a gay Republican group, say they want Republicans in Congress to lay off social issues.”
If “The Tea Party” cut the Pro-life activists in our area, they would have 100 people instead of thousands that show up for the rallies.
Other than removing all federal funding for abortion, which is the fiscally conservative decision, there is nothing the House can accomplish in this area. They should avoid symbolic actions that will motivate the pro-death wing of the Dem party and focus on the (non-abortion) areas where they can actually make a difference over the next two years. We can’t even stop a pro-death Supreme Court nominee, unless the GOP will filibuster the Senate, which is at least more likely than last year. In 2013, assuming that a pro-life American takes the White House, action on pro-life issues will be an entirely different question. At that point, when they can institute real change instead of getting voted down, it will be time to act to defend the unborn.
The bottom line: The Tea Party is right.
The pro-life backlash against the publicly funded abortion Obamacare was a major reason for the Dem’s loss. Alienating pro-lifers would be lunacy.
Anybody can call themselves a “Tea Party Activist”. Just like anyone can form a “militia”.
And just like the modern militia movement has had its problems with idiots acting stupid and calling themselves militia members, it looks like there are going to be idiots trying to smear and redirecting the Tea Party movement.
These idiots are not representative of what the Tea Party movement stands for, and need to be confronted and shouted down.
Life News usually gets it right, but I think they’re mistaken here.
There is a FACTION in the Tea Party that wants to put the “social issues” aside. And I believe there is a connection with GOPride. The aborters and the gay activists tend to work together and support each other.
The Tea Party as a whole, however, is just millions of ordinary people who haven’t been infected by the liberal bug. I am sure that the great majority of them are decent, hard-working, ordinary folks. And such people are NOT gay activists or pro-abortion.
No doubt there are some libertarians floating around. But as we have seen from the election figures, those folks seldom can get more than 2 or 3 percent of the vote.
By striking at big government, big government spending, expensive mandates, big government beauraucracies and agencies, you are in effect, striking at these social issues.
No more money for ATF to harass gun owners, no money for abortion or planned parenthood, etc.
We shouldn’t drop these issues, or put them on a back burner, but can most certainly eliminate them through Stealth attacks via stopping bloated goveernment spending.
This is nothing more than PROPAGANDA! Move along.
that is not the impression I got from tea party convention here in Nashville last winter. I was there and several folks spoke about ending abortion.
With the current court structure, there is not much that can be done regarding abortion. Need to wait for Ginsburg, the wise latina, or the dyke to die.
Fiscally, you can starve Planned Parenthood, which is a very effective strategy. They are in the baby killing business for profit. Squeeze off the profit, you cut the supply.
In fact, one of the mailers he sent out featured them prominently. This story doesn't pass the smell test.
The Karl Roves of the GOP may think separating economic conservatism and social conservatism is a winning strategy, but few people in the TEA Party feel the same way.
Take the Marxist murderers out of power first, defund and punish their killing of moral and innocent people, defund their evil indoctrination of the ignorant, investigate and prosecute and punish criminal and seditionist activity, and you're 90% completed in protecting unborn children.
Some TeaParty Activists might be saying that. But I’m not one of them.
