 HAPPY NEW YEAR

all my readers, I don't know how many of you are still there.

I hope you are, because I'll be writing more in the New Year!


Where Did the Tea Party Go?



I've been away from writing for a while, not for lack of interest but lack of time.  I suppose my inspiration for writing about the issues of the day; American politics (Obama era antagonism),  World politics and Religious Liberty had its beginnings in the aftermath of Sept. 11, 2001 and grew with the election of Obama.  His anti-American rhetoric and the messaging that flowed from the WhiteHouse was meant to divide instead of unite. It was unprecedented in my lifetime to see a president HOSTILE to America.  As far as I'm concerned at times it bordered on treasonous.

My story of a passion to protect our American way of life, to renew an  interest in the Constitution and the men who created it and to inspire a deep appreciation for the sacrifices of those who died to insure our freedoms began in 2008.  Millions of Americans understood the danger our country faced during this time, knowing there was a need to get involved and stay involved.  It was a new battlefield,  one of ideas and one that couldn't be ignored. We defended our values by joining groups to express ourselves in great numbers.  These groups organized rallies locally and in Washington.  We hosted Town Hall meetings, so constituents could speak to their representatives in person.  Many groups, including my own,  hosted guest speakers to arm our members with the knowledge and tools to be effective in defending their principles.  The growth of the movement was indicative of the passion and determination of Americans across the country.  It was a battle cry that became known as the Tea Party movement.

I believe there would not have been a Trump victory or for that matter a Trump candidate if not for the Tea Party.  It was a dynamic movement whose popularity exploded because it promoted basic principles of limited government, free markets and individualism vs collectivism. Ultimately it understood the government was broken.  The government's leaders had abandoned basic principles for power, lifetime careers and lobbyist paybacks, ignoring the will of the people. The people renounced the elitist Washington insiders and looked for new and bold candidates with no ties to the establishment. Promising individuals were sought out and supported and with hard work, thousands of volunteers and long hours, many newcomers were elected to state and national positions. The fulfillment of  the Tea Party's primary goal was realized when the American people elected Donald Trump, an outsider to Washington, to lead the nation.

The Tea Party's goals are being realized all the time, from the Trump presidency and his reversal on Obama's policies to a lifting of pessimism and rancor that defined the fanatical Obama years. It is time the Tea Party receive recognition for rejecting Obama's ideology and advancing the timeless American principles that are being enacted once again as part of President Trump's agenda. Since no-one is talking about a very significant part of the new tax law, the repeal of the HHS Individual Mandate, I will. It is given hardly any coverage even in the alternative media.  It is just as important as the tax bill itself.  It returns sovereignty to the individual, preventing further destruction of freedom and lifts the burden of an unlawful tax. The ending of the mandate will probably unravel Obamacare, bringing an end to one of the most unpopular pieces of legislation that denied the will of the people and was unlawful.  Although it is not reported, you must know that this is a major win and a step towards ending Obamacare.

I have outlined the inspiration for a great movement, its goals and an incomplete account of its many accomplishments. My goal is to expand on this and provide a more in-depth account of the Tea Party movement, the people and my role in the Tea Party.  As a leader in the Religious Liberty movement I worked to inform and educate my parishioners about the violations of religious freedom inherent in the HHS Mandate in Obamacare.  I will continue to be the voice in the wilderness, defending everyones right to speak, defending all our rights, especially and foremost our 1st Amendment, which precedes all others and is the foundation of our Constitution, based on Natural Law derived from our Creator.
