Not long ago someone tried to label me as a member of the Tea Party. Then, they quickly took back their comments thinking that I might be offended by that. I'm not, not the least. I feel as if the tea party is filled with great Americans who very much care about this country, but they've been completely maligned by the news media and the left-wing socialists, not to mention the majority of Democrats. I find this rather unfortunate because many things the Tea Party believes, most Americans agree are part of the problem that we have in Washington DC.
You see, the often maligned Tea Party is an interesting phenomena, and there is nothing wrong with their main focus, they are right, and if you have misgivings of this group or folks who align themselves with that political signature, that's only because they've been trashed in the media by the leftists which run a large number of our news stations here at home, plus much of the news media in Europe such as BBC and others there.
Indeed, I see the Tea Party as filled with strong Americans and it would not be offensive for you to call me a Tea Party member, I'd gladly accept such designation, although I do agree some go too far with their rhetoric at times, but that's a very small minority, and we seem to give the Democrats a break for their radical elements. Indeed, Obama's most vocal supporters go quite extreme the other way - so, the hard-core tea partiers are a balance in that regard. Good to have them on board. I am quite concerned with ACCORN and other left-wing groups which Obama has been quite close too, especially in his prior career as a "community protest organizer". You see, there is no honor in that, in my opinion.
Everything about Obama Care smacks of socialism. The attempt to take over the industry, issue price controls, and give free-health care to those who can't pay without any responsibility on their part. Further, and it's already happening and we will get more and more doctors and hospitals who refuse Medicare patients, then we will have shortages, and the price will continue to rise and really isn't that always what happens with socialist strategies when free-market capitalism is hijacked? Mandated purchasing of insurance is completely unconstitutional, it goes against the "right to free contract" and whether it's called a tax or whatever is immaterial to what it is.
There's nothing wrong with the Tea Party. In fact, I would submit to you that many of the founding fathers would have applauded citizens coming together to demand a fiscally responsible government, and one that would honor their constitutional rights for freedom, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness along with all of the stipulations in the Bill of Rights. So, if or when someone calls you a member of the Tea Party, that my friend is a compliment because all great Americans think like that. Please consider all this and think on it.
