The Tea Party: Fringe Kooks or Patriots?

O'Donnell and Angle Fail to Wrest Control from the Dem's

Harry Reid: Dem Sen Nevada

Did the Tea Party take a bath in November?  Is the Delaware senate race, where Christopher Coons defeated "Tea Party Candidate" Christine O'Donnell, indicative of a lack of American support of the Tea Party?  Did Harry Reid's Nevada Senate race defeat of Tea Party Candidate, Republican, Sharron Angle prove that the Tea Party is a movement without teeth?

"Keith Obermann, made no effort to stem his insulting rhetoric of Tea Party endorsed Republican candidates"

On election night November 2nd, 2010, the former MSNBC loud mouth, Keith Obermann, made no effort to stem his insulting rhetoric of Tea Party endorsed Republican candidates as well as those Americans who support the Tea Party movement.  His position, as is that of most popular network and network affiliated media members, puts the Tea Party on a par with Waco's Branch Dividians.  Most mainstream news sources proclaimed, in sage tones, that the Tea Party is a trend: a fad which will sputter and fail over time. 

Tea Party: Third Party? 

The Tea Party is not a political party.  It is not a fringe movement.  The Tea Party doesn't even have leadership.  So how could it possibly have gained so much traction in the political world?  It is important to note that every movement, from religious to social, has always had leadership.  So what does this say about the Tea Party movement?  Tea Party members agree that the American people believe in the American dream: not the dream of little pink houses or a chicken in every pot; but the dream of equal opportunity to succeed without the meddling of government.  The Tea Party is not a political party.  It is the judge, jury, and executioner of our tax and spend politicians.  The Tea Party is not a Republican faction.  It is the means by which traditional conservative principles shall be forced upon member politicians of the Republican party.

"The "Rhino" Republicans will not last long in this new climate."

Keith Obermann

If the Democratic party were nearer the conservative, American beliefs of the people than the Republican party, the Democratic party would be the body which is being ministered by the Tea Party.  Intrusive, corpulent government is the disease and The Tea Party is the penicillin for the disease.  Expect major changes in the Republican party as the Tea Party Assimilates it.  The "Rhino" Republicans will not last long in this new climate.

The pundits and reporters who shook their head at 'Tea Party Candidates who lost' are mistaken.  There were no "Tea Party Candidates."  There were candidates who read the writing on the wall and feigned conservatism in their campaigns and there were candidates who won primaries by being the real deal.  The charlatans will be unmasked and driven from the ranks soon enough.

Please, No Bible Thumping!

There is a verse in the bible: “For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.”  Not all Tea Party members are Christian, but as a whole, the power of this verse is the power of the movement.  The November midterm elections were the first strike against a system out of control.  The power of the movement is in the fervor of principles and moralistic beliefs of the body.  We are witness to an unprecedented happening.  I said in an earlier blog that nothing of historic importance was ever done by a group; but rather, a group led by an individual.  This Tea Party movement is a first among firsts: it belies my statement and many other bedrock precepts of the demigog establishment.  It is a movement led by a combined spirit and belief rooted in the original intentions, as written, of the founders of the United States of America.

Republican Street Team?

The Republican Party is on the lame duck verge of being remade into the party of the people.  This moniker has historically been the intellectual property of socialist movements.  The difference, in this case, is the very nature of the Tea Party.  There are no charismatic rebel-rousers inciting the throng.  This is a movement driven by the intentions of our founding fathers.  The Tea Party moves forward - constitution in hand - anachronistic slogans on placards.   To the enlightened left, the images and shouts are to be ridiculed and mocked.  "Tea Baggers" is the best they could do.  Racists and fringe kooks were their flimsy hurled stones.  

 "The American people have never been more savvy... better informed...wielded more inalienable power than they do today." 

The only people who believe these empty claims are the uninformed minions sought by this manipulative, self-interested Democratic party.  These dupes are the same people who voted Barrack Hussein Obama into office via a sales pitch which promised pretty colors, sunshine and puppies.  These are the same altruistic self feelers who whined and cried when the axe fell. 

Many of the slurs are well spoken, intellectually adroit pleas for sensibility as defined by the left.  To the uninformed, they make sense and are completely believable.  Peruse the ignorant comments subsequent to any left vs. right news story on Yahoo.  The American people have never been as savvy.  They have never been better informed.  They have never wielded more inalienable power than they do today.
