Simple Tea.
Dear Tea’ers,
From one who has lived through the rise of socialism once already: Don’t get caught up in details, there is no need. We need people elected of the right spirit first, then the best ideas can come.
Tea is a network that will put into office as many men and women as possible with firm heart and suitable cahonas, and the first order of business is to stop the growth of government. It has never happened before that a government voluntarily shrinked, but in America today it must somehow do just that. Stop it. The goal must be to get as much government as possible out of people’s lives and business.
I think it’s safe to say that Tea’ers believe that all humans are basically decent and in a prosperous society, local organizations tend to form to find ways to help the poor and aide the sick. The problems today isn’t healthcare, or jobs, or drugs, or terrorism, it’s that the government is in charge of fixing things it only makes worse. It is a maniac robot that thinks it must save the world by assembling more of itself and control all aspects of life – and it will keep growing until it finally collapses under it’s own weight.
We don’t just need a governor or senator out of office, we need the office to go out of business. Government is not the source of prosperity, it is the obsticle holding it down. The country could benefit a great deal by the demolishion of many Washington buildings, and parks with drinking fountains put in their place. It would be cheeper, cleaner, look better and give better results.
The system now openly uses bribery throughout to keep growing. Unions and banks bribe politicians, the feds bribe the states, and politicians bribe the voters with empty promises.
The reason for the Tea-surge is that the country is going out of business and it is becoming clear to a lot of people that we have elected politicians, not leaders. They don’t play by the rules, they have no respect for people who pay their salaries and government is doing a miserable job at everything from public schools to national security.
None of us want polluted oceans, or killings, or hungry children, but that does not mean that just because someone is charging with a banner to Save the Earth I’m going to blindly follow. There are brilliant solutions to most every problem on Earth, but only if the people are free to find them. When a cop has to go out and give tickets to feed the system, when so-called leaders trade convictions like baseball-cards and then make laws and restrictions based on how many votes it will secure, it is time for good people to stop saying nothing – and that’s is what the Tea’ers are doing.
All we ask government to provide is the common defence of our borders, and perhaps a court to medigate between states regarding crimes and commerce. Leave the rest to the states, then people can vote with their feet it their state governments get too big or bloated.
Freedom is not given, it can only be earned – and the Tea’ers are earning it now.
