Who and what is in fact are Tea Party Patriots? Oh yea, right, the fellows in the picture below would most definitely associate themselves with and as Tea Party Patriots, don't you agree?
The Tea Party is not a "political party". It is a participatory movement. There is no I.D. Card that can or is, issued. No mandatory meetings or marches to attended. Your actions are indeed your own and yet, at its core the Tea Party Patriots (TPP) all carry within themselves a series of fundamental beliefs about what made America unique and ultimately the worlds most powerful movement for good, and what laid the foundation for the American century- and the future.
It is a belief in smaller government, more liberty, America's core foundational traditions and principles.The Tea Party is comprised of individual heroes; American patriots. No one man or woman can or will define the Tea Party. Yes, we know the Left hates us. Of coarse, we also know that this hate comes from their fear. I see the posting all the time in various publications using the disparaging term: "teabagger". How many really know what "teabagger means? Well, as I understand the common sociatial use, it's: a man that squats on top of a womens face and lowers his genitals into her mouth during sex, known as "teabagging".
Look at the Left's actions and words: How many of Saul Alinsky's Rules For Radicals that follow apply and are used against TPP each and every day:
Always remember the first rule of power tactics: Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.
The second rule is: Never go outside the experience of your people.
…The third rule is: Wherever possible go outside the experience of the enemy. Here you want to cause confusion, fear, and retreat.
…the fourth rule is: Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules.
…the fourth rule carries within it the fifth rule: Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.
…the sixth rule is: A good tactic is one that your people enjoy.
…the seventh rule is: A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.
…the eighth rule: Keep the pressure on.
…the ninth rule: The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.
The tenth rule: The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.
…The eleventh rule is: If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside.
…The twelfth rule: The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.
…The thirteenth rule: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. — Rules for Radicals
What after all is radical at all about being identified with the Tea Party principles of constitutionally limited government, put another way constitutional original-ism, the value of the free market, and personal and fiscal responsibility? About respecting and believing in the Constitution, in its original meaning, and the importance of preserving its structure and principles. Is it radical to support a stout, strong, second-to-none National Defense? Tea Partyers are at best lukewarm in their attitudes toward issues like abortion or gay marriage. Tea Party Patriots (TPP) I find are intellectually substantial, acutely aware of the myriad of complicated issues facing our country today, and politically constructive with real world practical solutions. One would think all Americans would value these vital, timeless principles and if not, why not?
If someone can show me the polictical documents that advocate the progressive principles of big, ever growing central government, high and ever higher taxation, ever increasing spending to the point of huge deficits, and ever more and far reaching regulations with more and more government programs, all of which are efficient and get the results intended, I'm listening. Show me a a more perfect form of Union?? I'm waiting.
A terrific follow-on article: What is the Tea Party really all about?
For the traitor appears not a traitor; he
speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and
their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts
of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown
in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body
politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
-– Marcus Tullius Cicero
Roman philosopher, statesman, lawyer
