The Tea Party reflects the values of our Founding Fathers as enshrined in the Constitution of the United States of America.
That Constitution, held up before the extreme left has the same effect as a silver cross held up before a vampire.
And the Tea Party is the left's Acacia stake.
A good lesson in leadership has been exhibited by Sarah Palin when folks wanted to get rid of Orrin Hatch in Utah. Sarah endorsed Hatch and suddenly all opposition was silenced. I would guess Sarah figured if she or the next President needed a vote from Orrin in the future, he would remember she/he made his reelection easier and be there for the President’s agenda.
Huuuuge understatement. Far too many of them are like John "the cicada" McCain who emerges from the ground once every six years, makes a lot of Republican noise to get elected and then returns to his old ways again.
Hopefully a lot of Republicans suffering from Potomac fever will be primaried out next spring.
You betcha!!!
I've been to TEA party rallys and folks there are too smart to want to start a "Third Party i.e. The TEA Party".
While the msm pushes that meme all the time, the people that attend these TEA parties want no parts of helping to re-elect obama.
I love Sarah, but there is no way I'd {nor would Sarah} be a part of a third party candidate, just look at slick willy and how he got there.
For whatever reason -- be it ignorance or something more nefarious -- much of the national media wants to portray a divided GOP. They are hopeful that the Republican who emerges as the party's presidential nominee will be identifiable with what these pundits consider to be a major rupture within the GOP.The reason is no real mystery. Wire service journalism detaches journalism from location - initially from the town to the state, from the state to the country, and ultimately from the country to 'the cloud.' "Cloud computing" is the perfect analogy for what they mean by "citizen of the world." IOW wire service journalism has no allegiance, except to its own self. Thus, rules whose raisons d'être are patently to make journalism interesting and therefore profitable are sold by journalism as rules "in the public interest."The people who are the market for journalism are interested, willy nilly, in reports of threats to their well-being. And since the people depend on our republican form of government, it's profitable (and fun) for journalists to report that republican government "doesn't work."
I often hear that Conservatives has a goal of a smaller government and to some extent that is correct. However, a more correct expression is that the Tea Party Patriot’s goal is for a constitutional government.
I see and hear many ill informed gullible people who believe that political entities bought the Tea Party movement to exploit the Tea Party Patriots.
As the Tea Party gained in numbers and its voice became heard there were many politically entities that wanted the attention of the Tea Party Patriots. This is normal and does not in any way corrupt the movement. What transpired for the most part was not that the Tea Party movement joined some other faction but rather other factions were encouraged to join the Tea Party movement.
The Tea Party movement is not a political party and that is the key component to understanding the Tea Party movement. The Tea Party is an idea, the idea that the Constitution is the nation’s owner’s manual. The Tea Party Patriot’s candidates will check the owner’s manual before enacting any legislation to ensure that the Constitution granted government the power to enact that legislation.
The owner’s manual with its 27 updates clearly instructs the government how to function. It contains more than adequate detail describing how the government can use the powers granted to legislate.
Many wonder how a disjointed, unorganized, and unfunded Tea Party Movement would go about creating a constitutional government. Start with the premise that government is constitutionally corrupted. The notion of creating a third political party was discarded because it would take too long to achieve any meaningful change The Republican primary was the vehicle selected to bring about change in the fewest number of election cycles.
The idea was to oppose incumbent Republicans who had adopted the corruption of government and abandoned Conservative values. There were some successes in the primary. These candidates that were successful in the primary went to the general election to defeat corrupted Democrats. There were some successes in the general election. The next obstacle was to discover which of the successful candidates would remain true to the Conservative goal of a constitutional government and remove those who did not at the next election.
All in all, I think that first election cycle was productive.
Perhaps all the negative media attention is because the Tea Party Movement does not approach the government with an offer to exchange their votes for additional favors. The Tea Party is unique in that for the first time in my life time there is a movement demanding less from the government.
Will it continue to work and can it succeed. I think it can and I think the more Americans who come to understand the value of the American Constitution and the founder’s vision for America the stronger the grass roots movement will become.
It is almost as simple as Christianity. The only requirement to becoming a Christian is to accept Jesus as your savior. There, you’re a Christian. The only requirement to becoming a Tea Party Patriot is to uphold the Constitution. There, you’re a Tea Party Patriot. In all matters political, merely consult the Constitution. The Constitution clearly enumerates what powers of legislation the government has. Contrary to the myth, you don’t need a law degree or a college education to understand the Constitution. In fact in today’s liberal staffed universities that education may be an obstacle to understanding the Constitution.
At this moment in time, the Tea Party Movement has the advantage of an administration with a socialist vision for America, which serves to create more Americans who want to become aware of their owner’s manual.
I am continually puzzled why the liberals don’t take some steps to clean out the incumbent corrupted Democrats. The Tea Party Movement has shown the way and having your children and grandchildren thank you is a great reward.
