A political firestorm is inevitable as the Tea Party is quietly targeted for capture
“The Tea Party is an inspired movement of like minded Patriots, not the actions of one person, but countless Patriots acting as one. I am deeply concerned the Tea Party is becoming nothing more than a wholly owned subsidiary of the Republican Party.” Dale Robertson – President/Founder Tea Party.org
I am sending an alarm to the Tea Party membership! Be alert to turncoats and deceivers being herded into the Tea Party by usurpers from the weakened Republican Party for the sole purpose of capturing our populist movement. Our political ideals were once theirs and our immense growth has created a lusting for their good old days!
Sarah Palin’s well delivered speech and her attractive demeanor is little more than a veneer for her less attractive political philosophy. She seems more like a duck out of water among true Conservative Constitutionalists. Palin demonstrates her NeoCon flippant viewpoint and her naïveté as she seems envious of the swelled numbers of Patriots pledging their allegiance, to of all things, AMERICA and not to a kool-aid ridden political dinosaur.
What Republican wouldn’t want 10 million angry voters marching in the streets shouting, God Bless The Republican Party, where a few months before the same voices sang, God Bless America !
Sarah Palin is not dense or erroneous in her view of the Tea Party, just the opposite. She represents a growing insider’s attack to the heart of the Tea Party. Very much like a wolf in sheep’s clothing entering in at the gate as an ally, but for all intents and purposes there to seize and capture, not only one or two stray sheep, but the whole flock!
Instead of the Republican Party endeavoring to return to what made them great, it appears they are trying to take the low road, by attempting to commandeer someone else’s dream, the American dream forged by blood sweat and tears. Is the Faith of the Tea Party being replaced by folly and our Patriotism being replaced by Party-ism?
However, what the Republicans can not fathom is the inspiration of the Tea Party, a simple common thread, one which is missing from the fabric of their political wardrobe.
The common thread running the length and breadth of this movement is a Common Sense Constitutional Conservative approach to self-governance. However, danger is magnified simply because of the spontaneous nature of the Tea Party. The Tea Party, by some, is viewed as easy prey for the filling of their donation coffers and vote gathering machines. The only divisive aspect of the Tea Party is to be rid of the political machine that erodes the fabric of our Patriotic soul.
When Patriots zeal is bursting out at the seams, caution is often overlooked and a politically lackadaisical attitude creeps in. Such is the emerging case with recent events by those who declare themselves as the Tea Party privileged, but who in reality are nothing more than kool-aid drinking Republicans in Sheep’s clothing.
Many Tea Party members are concerned with the complicity of Big Business and Big Government, Wall Street Bail-outs and Mortgage Mogul sweet-heart deals. My concern grows as I observe the open and deliberate adulteration of the U.S. Constitution by those who proudly boast their allegiance to ‘Party’ principles. The difference is startling, the Tea Party places restoring the Republic and returning America to common sense government as our core platform.
However, what I am witnessing is an attempted defilement of the concept of what the Tea Party’s purposes are and where we are going. The bastardization of our message I find bilious and disingenuous on its face.
Tea Party members are being eyed as just another piece of voting meat. Tea Party members are targeted for filling the rank and file of minion laden political operations, most of which are lead by failed Republican hacks.
Some are saying NO Way! Yet, who is objecting to high ranking Republicans trying to grab the Tea Party and call it their own? Do I hear voices shouting NO, NO Stop! This is our party?
Has the Tea Party become so impotent that we can not see how millions of Tea Party members are being lead down a slippery slope into the abyss of political complacency?
Are the ears being trained to adore the mindless blither which drools from the sweet tongues of the politically anointed?
Has the Tea Party reached its zenith? Was all of our work, hope and fire expended to only stop Obama-Care? Has our message become so contaminated and ineffective as to be mistaken for the same old political clap-trap vomited from the kool-aid drinking mouths of the Republican elite? Shall the Tea Party be lead down the primrose path of numb contentment like so many other movements and organizations have been over the years?
I can see the possible evisceration of the Tea Party by recent shifts in ideology. For example: Would the Tea Party knowingly endorse a candidate who believes in Amnesty masquerading as a “pathway to citizenship”?
Of course not! However, it is being considered!
What shall we do next? Turn a blind eye to the 20 million or more illegal aliens who demand citizenship because they believe they have earned it by nefariously entering our beloved nation and who continue to break the law by staying here?
The Republican elite say “Yes to amnesty!” But, I believe the Tea Party will not reward law breakers, especially with our most sacred commodity – ‘Citizenship in our beloved nation.’
Yet, Sarah Palin says, “Yes we can!” Proving my point is her endorsement of Open-Borders McCain. Why would any Tea Party member “want to be” on the same side of Obama-Amnesty?
Point well taken.
Has the Tea Party forgotten the tax hikes poised and ready to crush the American people? How can we fail to remember the unrelenting line of gun grabbing legislation continually snaking its way through Congress?
Yet, where is the outrage?
Is the fire of the Tea Party quenched because the members have heard a pleasing speech and seen a pretty face? Is the Tea Party merely made-of cardboard signs and baseball caps?
I say NO and HELL NO! We are non-negotiable in our stand against dumbed down politics spun by deadhead Republican political hacks dreaming of emasculating the greatest thing going since 1773.
I say NO and HELL NO! We are non-negotiable in our stand for protecting jobs!
Yet, High ranking Republicans, including Sarah Palin endorse Governor Rick Perry knowing full well he was instrumental in the creation of the Transnational Corridor fiasco. A government plan which would have ripped through the heartland of America , destroying domestic jobs and wrenching family owned farms from the hands of families who have worked those farms for generations.
The infusion of ANY formal political party into the Tea Party movement will corrupt the very fiber of what the Tea Party is and what we stand for. The need for fresh voters and fresh blood is no less a drug to certain Republican ‘NeoCons’ than crack is to an addict.
Don’t get me wrong, many of the Tea Party members are registered Republicans who were disillusioned by the failure of their party to hold to time tested conservative principles. They won’t be so easily convinced to return to a failed party simply because of a new paint job and a fresh covering of veneer.
The ongoing attempt of a stealth and silent seizure begins to take shape, begging a burning question: Does the Tea Party still resemble the one I envisioned years ago?
I witnessed the exhilaration of millions of people speaking out about the collapse of our financial system and the subversion of power was a catalyst for our protest. These same members, for once in their lives, felt they had ownership in their beloved nation.
The Tea Party is famous as a movement of ragtag, unorganized independent, politically hungry libertarian style Patriots holding fast to a Conservative belief in America . The Tea Party is something fresh, unique and alive.
Did our march on Washington with over 1 million strong, Town Hall meetings in major cities and millions of Pink Slips with tens of Millions of Tea Bags, countless E-mails, and phone calls to our elected Representatives mean nothing?
Shall the Tea Party slide into the abyss of political boredom?
I say NO! and HELL NO! The Tea Party must cling to our Common Sense – Constitutional Conservative approach to Self-Governance, making everything else non- negotiable!
Shall we go silently into the night or stand and fight?
Therefore, I am calling on all Tea Party members to cling fast to our core beliefs and tell the world: What we believe is non-negotiable.
What are the Tea Party Non-negotiable core beliefs?
- Illegal Aliens are illegal.
- Pro-Domestic Employment is indispensable.
- Stronger Military is essential.
- Gun ownership is sacred.
- Government must be downsized.
- National Budget must be balanced.
- Deficit Spending will end.
- Bail-out and Stimulus Plans are illegal.
- Reduce Personal Income Taxes a must.
- Reduce Business Income Taxes is mandatory.
- Intrusive Government Stopped.
- English only is required.
- Traditional Family Values are encouraged.
- Common Sense Constitutional Conservative Self-Governance is our mode of operation.
- ….and Yes, we are a Christian Nation!
The Tea Party must stay independent or we shall die.
