Let's All Pull Together and Save Ourselves From the Tea Party...or Not.


I know a lot of conservatives, or at least people who consider themselves conservative, are getting a little wobbly about now. The left is in full slander mode. They are doing their best to make the Tea Party radioactive as they've done with so many conservative politicians (anybody's name come to mind?). They have focus grouped terms like hostage, dictatorship, extremists and they've been using them, repeatedly. And just as soon as some small bit of progress is made in the House, Harry Reid deems it "unacceptable" or "dead on arrival".

Buck up, this is all political posturing. Tell grandma the checks will still go out, the debt will be serviced and the troops will eat (along with the foodstamp bums). The fact is the left cannot fathom the idea they might actually lose. My thinking is this, the more they scream, the more vitriolic they become, the more afraid they are. This is an opportunity to do some real damage to the far left and their media lackeys. A defeat of this magnitude now will kill their agenda through Obama's term in office, at least. A conservative compromise, or more accurately appeasement, will guarantee Obama's reelection and an America that more resembles Great Britain in the seventies than Reagan's Shining City on a Hill.

The left created this crisis, let's not let it go to waste.

Sorry Hammer--my disappointment in the Tea Party has nothing to do with the slander of the left. I am quite capable of sorting through their crap. It is the Tea Party's crap with which I am struggling.

If it wasn't for the Tea Party we wouldn't even be having this debate. Look my government retirement check receiving friend, a deal will be made. But this is essentially a political fight, not a grand game changing new direction for America. Real progress, real reform can only happen when conservatives control both houses of Congress and the White House. That's why this fight is so important.
