There has been a growing and not-so-subtle crescendo of verbal attacks against The American Tea Party and its namesakes across the country in recent days. They have been called “racists” and “terrorists,” among other things. Several media outlets, liberal commentators, and progressive politicians have suggested that the Tea Party rhetoric will fan the emotions of some far-right loony into taking overt and catastrophic action akin to the Oklahoma City Federal Building bombing.
Obviously, there is concern and fear among the progressive Marxist socialists that the Tea Parties mean business and, further, that they are carrying valid arguments to the doorsteps of America. If the Progressives had their ways, the Tea Parties would all dry up and blow away.
That doesn’t appear to be in the cards.
The problem is that Tea Parties have cogent and sound arguments against TARP and a stimulus package that did not work and which resulted in hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars that cannot be accounted for. They are solidly against the rampant spending coming out of Congress and the inevitable tax increases already in the works. They are aghast at the political methodology employed in the passage of a national Health Care Bill that a large majority of Americans were against. They are disillusioned with the reality that Obama’s “change” had no relation to the cleaning up of crime, corruption and lack of ethics and constituent responsibility in Washington.
Instead of arguing the concerns on their merits, detractors have opened a flagrantly nasty rhetoric that seeks to marginalize and diminish the stature of the Tea Party organizations. It is, anew, the politics of “gutter attack and mud-slinging” which characterized the last election, now directed against Americans who see themselves as patriots engaged in defending the Constitution… the same Constitution that President Obama has openly said in the past is in his way.
One of the tactics being employed is trying to entice Tea Party members into physical violence. Members of the S.E.I.U., a favored union of Obama that is closely affiliated with ACORN and for which Obama was a former attorney, have appeared at several Town Hall meetings, Tea Party rallies and demonstrations in an overt effort to cause physical confrontation. In Searchlight, Nevada, (Harry Reid’s home town), members of a union threw rotten eggs at buses leaving a Tea Party Express rally and tried to intimidate bystanders who saw what was happening.
Another tactic being used is trying to make Americans afraid to show up for meetings or rallies through the introduction of fear. There were many allegations by the Obama-controlled media that Tea Party demonstrators had tried to incite violence by using the “N” word and shouting other epithets at passing Members of Congress on the Capitol steps during the final stages of voting on Obamacare. Yet, with the tens of thousands of people and throngs of media there, no one managed to get it on video or audio. Ensuing claims of racism were directed at alienating concerned and interested Americans from the tea party movements.
These are the tactics of bully Marxist-Socialists intent on steering Americans away from pursuit of the truth. If they are afraid of the truth and they are in charge of the country, just where are we?
To their credit, the Tea Parties have not bit on the bait. They continue to hold peaceful demonstrations and they seem to be relentless in informing Americans as to what is really going on in the existing circles of Washington power. The Progressives have an agenda which has been extensively advanced since Obama took office and they will not willingly give up one inch of those advances to an insolent patriotic movement.
The various American Tea Parties, comprising citizens from all walks of life, are not flinching. They are bound and determined to bring this great nation, a nation for which no apologies should ever be issued, back to reality. It is not the American Tea Parties which have created the atmosphere of discontent; it is the establishment which has turned its back on the citizens that is to blame.
