Libturd Attacks Tea Party

An anonymous person emailed me several days ago, after my editorial appeared in the Gazette.  They wrote: “I will be attending the Tea Party Rally on Sept. 12. I will be looking to see if the Tea Party representatives and speakers will be speaking to solutions to our nations problems and not be apart of the problem. I will not be looking for gripes, complaints, anti-Obama or racial placards.”

My response to QUEBILL@aol.com was: “You are most welcome to join us, however we will not restrict FREE speech.  It is not the responsibility of those who are part of the Tea Party movement to create "solutions".  It is our responsibility to make our voices heard to elected officials and candidates so they may form solutions.  It is our responsibility to seek out individuals who can lead us out of the quagmire both parties lead us into and support them in their efforts.

We do not tolerate racism and will continue to battle it as we did throughout the civil rights movement, which without us would have been even longer in occurring.

It it odd you did not sign your name!

In other words, the type of people who populate the Tea Party movement are the same foot soldiers who fought the Revolutionary War, who supported the Abolitionist movement of the Civil War And who stood shoulder to shoulder throughout the Civil Rights era fighting for equality.  Ordinary American Patriots fighting extra-ordinary battles, while being publicly derided and mis-represented.

We seek out capable and honest people who support the foundation of this nation, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.  It is our duty and responsibility to find leaders with wisdom, courage and common sense to formulate solutions and implement them.  We seek out organizations that espouse the Tea Party principles to help form solutions and support these leaders, such as the CATO Institute and the Heritage Foundation.

Look around you and what do you see?  The average Joe.  The everyday American. A sleeping giant that was poked into action by irresponsible actions of our government. 

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. —    

That to secure these rights, Gov’ts are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,”

Our fore fathers knew the extent and limits of our tolerance & when  pushed to a certain point, “We The People” would be moved to action.  They knew that those of us that have the ability to take action, have the absolute responsibility to act.”

It was President Andrew Jackson who said, “One man with courage makes a majority”   Well, We are the Majority and Silent No Longer!

Now, QUEBILL@aol.com, before I introduce our guest speakers, I’ll leave you with one final thought. It was the Renaissance Author Dante who said, “the hottest places in Hell are reserved for those who, in a time of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality.”

You cannot silence us with your disinformation and veiled threats.  We will be Silent No Longer!

Open Invite To All Politicians!

Open Letter To All Politicians

This is an open invitation to all elected officials, as well as current and past candidates to attend the 1st Anniversary 9/12 Rally by the Beaufort Tea Party, this Sunday at 1pm at the Waterfront Park.  We always encourage you to attend our rallies!  In our first rally last year on July 4th, we made the error of allowing politicians to speak and did not give the people a voice.  Since then, in the subsequent rallies, we remedied that error and only allow those who speak not be politicians.  We have been pleasantly surprised at the words and wisdom of the voters who spoke.

We whole heartily welcome you to attend and listen to what "We The People" have to say.  As a “grass-roots” movement, that has united a silent majority into a political force that is slowly changing the face of politics and policy, we encourage you to listen.  Feel free to press the flesh and kiss the babies.

Our members do not care what political party you are with.  If you think this is only directed to Conservatives or Republicans, think again!  The invitation is open to all politicians.  We would like to commend some of those who have attended all of our events, stood in the crowd, listening and answering, one on one: Mayor Billy Keyserling, City Councilwoman Donnie Beer, County Councilman Paul Sommerville, and State Representative Shannon Erickson.  Thank you, we look forward to seeing you this Sunday!
