The Tea Party is fresh out of friends, all out of allies, and does not want the help of those who only mean us harm. Still, as Gloria Gaynor reminds us, we will survive. What the Tea Party has is a vantage point on current events.
Those on the right who have studied the left as part of a long-term, international movement can clearly see events today in their context. Some folks have studied formally, others through reading the products of formal education (Thomas Sowell is an education walking), and the majority through listening to their own skeptical instincts when confronted with a load of nonsense. If you reject the first bite of a crap sandwich, you never have to defend being full of crap.
So we see what is going on and urge our families and friends to wise up and resist the onslaught. It’s a bit like having hiked a ridge and seeing the people of the next valley lobbing bombs into our own, while our families below wonder what we’re yelling our heads off about, and insist that we come down this minute and start putting out these mysterious fires.
I never want to be in a position where my liberty depends upon the popularity of my views, and that is why the fight is now, not later. It doesn’t make us popular, and we may not be taken seriously, but we are not wrong, and we will never bow to this tyranny.
For more information on this brand of Tea Party activism, take a long, hard look in the mirror and try not to cry in the sink.
