The Tea Party Uprising Is Not In Peril

     This past week I was watching television (FoxNews) or listening to the radio (Rush, Hannity or Levin) I can't remember which, but someone was stating that they were worried the Tea Party movement was without a solid leadership and direction. I don't know what the person was thinking when they said this, but they should not, and need not worry about the Tea Party movement. The so called "Tea Party" movement is not, and never should be a formal organization. It doesn't have a President and officers with meetings in minutes. The Tea Party movement is all of us. We are a very large group of Americans angry and fearful of the direction our federal government is leading us. The Tea Party movement is just a clever name slapped onto the millions of us. This movement does not need leadership because passion and conviction are truly what grass roots movements are all about. We are all the leaders. The whole thing started online and through word of mouth, then exploded. The fuel for the fire was there and getting together online first then in person was the spark. People had been angry for some time, motivated to have their voices heard, and were happy to know they were not alone, hence the Tea Parties that stormed the nation in spring and summer of 2009. 

     The leftists in the democrat party would love to find anyway possible to diminish or split up what we have going. When ignoring it didn't work they started to attack it and now they are trying to counter and conquer it. Remember, they are the masters at divide and conquer. Any dirty trick you can think of will be tried, because as we all know, to the leftist the ends justify the means. I heard a rumor recently that someone is going to try to run a "Tea Party" candidate in the Senate race against Harry Reid here in Nevada. If they are truly "Tea Party" people, I would urge them not to waste their money, votes, or their time with a third party even one called the "Tea Party". Third parties never ever win, especially in federal races. However, I'd be willing to put money on the belief that this is a hoax. This is more than likely another clever back room Nevada deal between big money lobbyists and Harry Reid in an attempt to split the Conservative vote so corrupt ol' Harry can retain his seat. Nothing new for him. This sort of chicanery is more like tomfoolery now in this day and age when there are so many citizen journalists that hear all of the nasty details and tell the world online. Getting away with tricks is getting much harder as more and more people pay attention and question the status quo as well as the quid pro quo. Most of us are very informed people, but there are some that are not so informed and are caught up in the football game of politics. You know what I mean, Red state vs Blue state, donkey vs elephant etc.

     A political party is irrelevant in name, it is the ideology that counts not the temporary people representing the party. For example, President Gerald Ford was a Republican, but there is no way you could call him a Conservative in the same mold as Ronald Reagan, who was also a Republican. Just as you could never call Barack Obama a liberal in the same mold as John Kennedy. The political parties are just vehicles to political office. This is not say the parties are not important because they are important, we have to use them. My first interest in politics came during the 1980 election between Carter and Reagan. I was angry over our hostages being held in Iran for 444 days. Everyone else was angry as well and Reagan won in a landslide. What we got in that election was not only a resolution to the Iran hostage crisis, but the best Conservative since Lincoln. He showed us that leftists want control and the only way forward for America was Founding Fathers' style Conservatism. It was a blessing to be a Conservative in this time in history. I learned so very much from this great American. On the downside it has left me yearning for another leader of this caliber. There will never be another Ronald Reagan but we can come close and we can give the next one a better Congress to work with than what Reagan had.

     I can't say this enough to people, but in order to insure that we have quality Conservatives running in every race in the country, the local Conservatives must get involved in the local GOP and refuse to support RINO's. If you are a registered Republican, the local party is yours. Go there and take it from those that would give RINO's your money or speak for you. Vote these people out of their positions and fill the officer ranks with Conservatives only. It takes getting off the couch and attending the meetings. It can get boring and tedious with all of your regular day to day responsibilities, but the stakes are too high to let others take care of it for you. People are always asking me what they can do. I tell them to get down to the GOP Headquarters and make a difference, it's our country and way of life at stake. You might think that you cannot alone make a difference, but believe me when I say that you are not alone by any means. These local GOP offices are being reclaimed around the country. Years of neglect by Conservatives has brought us to this point. This year, finally 2010, is going to change all of that and be a house cleaning of RINO's and leftists in the GOP as well as the government of the like that no one alive has ever seen. The coming tsunami is enormous.  

     This brings me back to the Tea Party movement, and the power it possesses. Many media elite as well as political elite despise the fact that ordinary hard working Americans can crush them with our numbers. This angers them more than our message. These people will do anything to destroy us. We know this upfront and given the anger and fear involved in this movement there is nothing they can do to stop it. We have and will continue to ignore the "pundits" and talking heads to forge ahead as we have for the past year. The looming spectre of Judgment Day 2010 is hanging in the air like the humidity in Louisiana. I say let the leftists sweat it out and continue to show just how devious and arrogant they truly are as they race around like rats trying to find a hole to crawl into. The leaders of our movement are "We The People" our platform is the Constitution of the United States of America as interpreted by the Founding Fathers and we get our providence from God. The media will never understand or acknowledge these principles because they reject them and the wisdom they hold. Nothing will make me happier than to see the leftist media announcing the landslide that is going to happen on Judgment Day. I want to see how smart Katie Couric, Chris Matthews and the rest of the dying press think they are after having their leftists dreams crushed. The watching of them announce it will be icing on the cake for me. That true satisfaction will be knowing that we have stopped the systematic destruction of our country. We will celebrate first, then we will immediately start to gear up for Judgment Day 2012. Yes I am counting chickens before they are hatched but these are American chickens and we never ever lose the important ones. Yippie-ki-yay!

    Michael, I just read your blog. I do agree with some of your content although I'm a little concerned with all the anger in this country and anger does not always get you where you really want to be. Thats how other countries hve been doing it for years and look where its got them, in wars all their lives, unforuantly we have been dragged into some of these wars.Our congress is basically made of people who have ther own agendas and are not listening to their constituents. We even see this on the lower levels in our small state and yes we do need to clean house on alot of levels and make a cap for how long these people can serve. Iguess this is a good way for people to vent thier feelings, but people need to get involved also. Thanks, Cindy

           I agree, I do not like the anger anymore than anyone else. But this is good anger in that no one will die as a result. This is the type of anger that the Founding Fathers had when they decided to declare Independence. It would be nice if we could sit down and solve problems then have a beer afterward. Unfortunately there are ignorant people and ideological leftist politicians who have alterior motives and will lie to you to accomplish their goals. Many of our left of center politicians are driving the country away from the Constitution and that is why people are so angry. The anger that has manifested since President Obama and the current Congress were elected is out of fear that these self serving politicians are trying to change our country in ways that will remove many of the freedoms we have enjoyed since the founding. If every political decision created more freedom from government and let us keep more of what we produce none of the anger toward government we have now would exist. However this current president and congressional leadership are hell bent on taking more of what we all produce and doling it out as they see fit. We are all dependent on government programs to some degree but not because we absolutely have to be but because the government passed a law and mandated it. For example all of us are mandated to pay into Social Security regardless of whether we think we could do better investing our money on our own, you simply have no choice. The left does not believe in choice unless you want to have an abortion. Of course government has not put the money you pay in taxes for Social Security into a lock-box for our retirement, rather they have long since spent it and then borrowed more on our backs and for what? When they take more and more money from the people that do not want the government redistributing their hard earned wealth, anger is created. The founding fathers warned against this and If you read Article I Section 8 of the Constitution, it states exactly what the federal government, particularly the congress, is allowed to govern. The leftists (progressives) have been whitling away at these Constitutional restraints for years. The manifestations of which are beginning to bankrupt our citizens and our treasury. People are angry because they see the end result of this and that the current government is driven by their ideology and not by pragmatism. History and common sense are contrary to everything this government is doing. The anger we have now is getting people to get involved and that is a good thing. When people get involved in our government process bad politicians get voted out and good ones voted in. If our freedoms are continually incrementally taken sooner or later we will wake up and our right to vote will be gone as well. That is what we are trying to avoid, because if that happens there will be civil war.
