Chrystopher Smith is "That Darn Republican" on Tuesday, April 06, 2010 3:03:45 PM
Ever consider why revolutionaries embraced coffeehouses and those who wanted to preserve their kingdoms banned them altogether? You might say what does this have to do with TEA parties and what’s going on today as far as the president’s open assault on the constitution by ignoring it out right and allowing Reid and Pelosi to do his bidding. Consider this? Consider that 17th century revolutionaries such as Voltaire, Rousseau and Diderot were fanning the flames of humanism and social justice back when King Charles II of England had fast banned them for being what he considered them to be “places where the disaffected met and spread scandalous reports concerning the conduct of his Majesty and his Ministers"… maybe he got a hint? Fast forward to the early part of the 20th century and you see Lenin pounded coffee tables, so did Trotsky for him. Stalin and Hitler did very much the same thing and banned any social forums that did not agree with their political agenda. Dissenters were rounded up and jailed, killed or both. Now we see the same thing with the Obama administration’s use of mainstream media to employ Alinsky tactics to suppress, ridicule, trivialize and/or marginalize any voice that does not tow his narrow bandwidth ideological dictates. There can be no dissenting opinion or you are callously excoriated by their propaganda machine.
If there has ever been a political voice that lent reasonable suspicion to their overall objectives socially… you can look no further than communists in America, their actions tell the whole story – deny it as they wish. It doesn’t matter what flavor they call themselves… feminists, gay “rights”, renewable energy advocates (green), black liberation theologists, Marxists and socialists. They all have one thing in common and that is to have their subjective ideals held with equally validity to those we have by law to uphold. However, a fitting analogy will drive this home; it is similar to ancient Pharisee’s touting Talmudic law as equally valid to Mosaic Law, which one was actually valid? We all know the answer… thus the reason for Christ’s 1st. coming according to Christian beliefs, to hold them accountable and to set a new standard. Now, one couldn’t really cite the ancient church leaders for their motives at first because all they were trying to do is obey the law but then their rules took over and professed them to be equal to the law, which was confusion, we call that text book legalism. But what happens when you allow arrogance to go unchecked, we have the image here of 660+ man made laws to help assist in obeying 10 commandments that we have enough trouble obeying… 4 for believers and 6 for civil governance and lawful adjudication, please tell me how another 663 is going to help?
Truth is man made law was to stop getting you to be concerned with the law as it is written and obey the policies projected to be equally valid as law, and over time.. you'd just simply forget the law out of ignorance to its existence. Look at the now going 2010 census; it says right on the envelope that you must complete this by law, really? Or do they just hope you fall for one of the oldest technocratic tricks in the book, the co-opt. The constitution only provides for a head count… they don’t even ask for your name. With over 23 years in sales and marketing management, I know demographic data when I see it. They have their rules being inserted as valid under the umbrella of the census mandate for completion but the extra questions aren’t at all lawful, but you do have to fill out the minimal information the true law requires. A true public servant would distinguish the two and make no mandate for the voluntary information. But it is telling how they just let that slide, it was for a purpose. There is only one political party that thrives on “information” for political use and that is the progressive or communist (as they’d like to be openly referred to as but can’t for now). Look at the health care debacle, HR3269 (and subsequent revisions) had over 2260 pages of legalese all hoping you just get flustered and say to heck with it… and let them do their thing and pass it. They have been survived by this tactic since 1913. It was intentionally devised to instill apathy - indifference is a tool of the left and only survived in an environment of complete moral opacity. The U.S. Constitution is only 17 pages, yet that sublime and simple statement of freedom and liberty expressed in a compendium of Judeo-Christian principles and common sense practices is so clear, your only choice is to accept them or reject them, basically the model of human freewill.
This has confounded and utterly divided the citizen patriot from the modern social insurgent; Obama’s people have had enough.
The TEA party revolution started one way and ended up encompassing the true American spirit as things progressed. The American spirit is one that values individual character, achievement and virtue, by principled means. Not a collective surrender to ideological machinations simply for the purposes political correctness by any means possible. These walled off elitists were truly stunned when their table pounding coffeehouse rhetoric was failing to gain the mind space it was artfully crafted to accomplish and they are roiling mad about it and like any child who is having way too much fun on at recess. The minute the whistle blew, they dropped to the ground in a stop-drop-and-roll grand mal hissy fit. Their MSM propaganda wing is complicit, the majority in the House is complicit, state and local governments infected with progressive minions all look (in one way or another) to advance their cause collectively. TEA parties have been (by in large) quite peaceful, but yet they have been maligned by the press, the president and members of congress and senate. If you want to compare apples to apples, look at communist behavioral ticks when they don’t get their way, then compare that to what we see here by these big babies on the far left. They have stonewalled, and flat out ignored. They have lied, called names, beaten and have attempted to intimidate many who have come out against their bidding on any of their social justice agenda. Released yesterday was a spot poll of 1000 people by independent pollster Scott Rasmussen, a stunning 43% were independents 49% were republicans and 8% were democrats… it’s hard to spin those numbers - but someone like Alan Colmes and Bob Bechel will find a way. But truth be told, that poll mirrors the entire electorate and tells where their real numbers… and they are about right where republicans have been saying all along; between 8%-11% of the voting populous is flat out nutty, not the near half they project.
Tea parties have asserted a message with clarity and have been more united that the RNC. They have in a winsome fashion done much to attract more to their cause. Again, so much so that the RNC still doesn’t quite know how to approach them yet, but that’s a whole other subject. However, I suspect not because they don’t want to (in my opinion), but because who they represent collectively (in) minority within its ranks. Remember spoiled brats won’t be nice with their back is against the wall… when they finally see they won’t get their way, they will start the old “if I can’t have my way… no one will” nonsense, watch for it. November is right around the corner and the gloves have got to come out sooner or later. Look for bigger and bolder partisan gaffes exposing progressives true intent and with more and more democrats showing their backsides and letting the America voter see just what and who they aren’t – it is not going bode well for them as they press for the next items on their agenda such as passing immigration, cap-and-trade and more taxes on Americans in a time of economic upheaval. Look for TEA parties to “keep it real” going on up until 2012 ensuring Obama may need to keep some Tagamet on hand just in case. It should be the expressed goal of the TEA movement to keep the street party going and not let indifference settle in their communities and as long as they keep the torch lit and send the signal they aren’t going anywhere, Obama and his gandy-dancing cavalcade of anti-American Eurocrat automatons, this will ensure there will be a challenge to their agenda; that is the last thing they want. With everyone broke and hustling just to survive – that is when they think they have the best chance to pass their liberty numbing, nation changing legislation, none of this is by accident and the TEA parties represent the biggest threat to their “best laid plans”.
