Many Tea Partiers and American patriots understand that the fate
of the United States of America hangs in the balance.
No melodrama here. If the US loses its position as the world’s
number one military super power, another country, or countries, will
take its place.
Realistically, that can only be Russia or China, or more likely,
an alliance of Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela,
Nicaragua, Vietnam and whoever ever else climbs aboard.
As the U.S. Dollar slowly
sinks and America’s prestige
and power goes with it, the “Evil Axis” grows bolder.
But why should I care? I’m
safe aren’t I? Way down at the
bottom of the South Pacific, in New Zealand.
Well, maybe not so safe. China is steadily advancing through
the Pacific. It now has several footholds in our region, particularly
in Fiji, which is my country’s nearest major island neighbor.
To any thinking Aussie or Kiwi, this is cause for major concern.
In June of 2012, Song Xiaojun, a “retired” Chinese general,
told Australia’s Sydney Morning Herald, that “Australia has to find
a godfather sooner or later…” “Australia always has to depend on
somebody else, whether it is to be the ‘son’ of the U.S. or ‘son’ of
China,” Song said, adding that Australia had best choose China
because it all “depends on who is more powerful and based on the
strategic environment.”
If America goes under, folks, the West goes under. No ifs, no
buts. Only a strong America can keep the bad guys in check. Just
as soldiers from all over the world fought in Europe and the
Pacific to save liberty in WW2, today’s freedom lovers need to
join the fight to save the US. Once liberty was fought for in the
Coral Sea, Guadalcanal, Normandy and
Sicily. Now if liberty is to be saved, we must
win the electoral battles of Florida, Ohio,
Virginia and Colorado.
From my home in Christchurch, I recently
spent an hour on
the phone with a savvy Florida activist. She
outlined for me the crushing problems being faced by American
patriots, in the face of a relentless leftist onslaught from the Obama
Administration. According to my usually optimistic friend, much of
the Tea Party is in disarray, the GOP leadership is even more
arrogant and out of touch than usual and if the Dems pass “immigration
reform” the Republic will be swamped with millions of new
loyal Democrats, effectively turning the US into a permanent “one
party state.”
And to cap that, now I’m hearing whispers of a third party.
Let’s get real. There is only one vehicle that can take back
America from the Democrats and their union and far left allies, in
the very limited time we have left. That is the Republican Party.
If
the Democrats hold the Senate and take back the House in 2014,
or even 2016, which they could well do, America is done for.
Illegal immigrants will be granted voting rights and the
intimidation tactics now being employed will seem like
kindergarten bullying, as the Democrats and unions unleash full
force on their remaining opposition. There is a climate of fear now
in the United States. If the Democrats get back in full control, they
will NEVER relinquish it. This is no longer
the old GOP/Dem turnabout game. This is
the left playingfor keeps and the GOP
playing constant catchup.
While I have no particular love for the
Republican Party, it's hard to see how starting
a third party right now could possibly do
anything but hand both the House and the Senate to the Dems in
2014 and the presidency to the left in 2016. If that happens, the left
will never give up power without bloodshed. If it ever comes to
serious civil unrest and the socialist’s power is actually threatened,
foreign troops will be called in to restore order. That will be the
end of America – and of the entire West. A peaceful revolution is
our only realistic hope.
So what to do? A third party will almost certainly hand
America to the tyrants. The GOP leadership is ineffectual at best,
often cowardly and unprincipled – occasionally even treacherous.
But the GOP does have a structure, a brand, some money,
hundreds of thousands of dedicated activists and tens of millions
of voters.
That is not something to throw away.
The Tea Party faces a choice. They can “throw their toys out
of the cot” as we say in New Zealand and walk away from the
GOP. They can work on
local issues alone, or
dissolve, or form a third
party. Satisfying as those
options may be, they are
almost certainly guaranteed
to consign your children and
grandchildren to a life of slavery – at best.
So what is the alternative?
I have addressed more than 150 Tea Party groups. I have met
thousands of activists. You people are the best of America. I write
this on the verge of tears as I remember the amazing patriots,
thinkers and activists I have met on my four speaking tours of
your amazing country. If America is to be saved, you will do it.
No other movement has the energy, drive, commitment, fortitude,
foresight or integrity of the Tea Party patriots.
You however have one major weakness. You lack self
confidence.
The vast majority of you are political novices. You take too
much advice from your self appointed “betters” in the GOP and the
mainstream conservative movement. This was illustrated in places
like Florida, last year, where the Tea Party activists were "forbidden”
from pushing the illegal immigrant issue by various “consultants”
and GOP hacks.
The Tea Party needs to realize you have the truth on your side.
You are real people, with roots in your communities. Many of you
are veterans. You are far more in touch with
voters than any GOP blueblood or K-Street
consultant ever will be.
So what should your wonderful movement
do?

Here is my advice. It is far from perfect,
but I hope it will at least add to the debate.
Its all about CONCENTRATION OF
FORCES.
I’ve met a lot of Tea Partiers working inside the GOP. Some of
them very successfully. However what tends to happen is that many
of them become marginalized by GOP “moderates” and their good
work comes to little.
In Australia, the Labor Party – the counterpart, of your
Democrats, operates in two main formalized factions – the conservative/moderate Labor Unity and the Socialist Left. One party, two
power blocs. Effectively two separate organizations within a one
party structure. The two factions horse trade, do deals, fight like
cats and dogs, compete viciously with each other; yet at election
time, stand as a “united front” against their conservative opposition.
I’m suggesting that the Tea Party should adopt a variant of this
approach. Join the GOP en masse, but don’t dilute your efforts by
operating as scattered individuals inside the GOP structure. If the
tea parties collectively become say, a “Constitutional Caucus”, within the GOP, you could maintain your agenda
and your integrity, but would also have the
advantage of GOP structure, branding and the
ability to actually get your candidates elected.
Don’t join GOP branches, BECOME GOP
BRANCHES.
There need be nothing covert about this. Tea
Party groups should identify themselves openly as Constitutional
Republicans and refuse to be in any way subservient to head office
dictates. Put the GOP old guard on notice that you are here to retake
your party and restore it to its constitutional foundations. Openly
state that you regard them as usurpers until proven otherwise.
Boldly proclaim that you fully intend to bloc vote your way
into positions of influence and that you will work with other
Constitutionalists in your state and nationally to primary GOP
candidates, no matter how long serving, those who do not actively
support in word and deed, the US Constitution.
TAKE NO PRISONERS.
Concentrate your resources. Pick winnable fights only. Do not
primary candidates you cannot defeat this election cycle. I’ve seen
that happen too often. Tea Party groups targeting scattered RINOs
("Republicans In Name Only") all over the state and not quite
beating any of them. Pick a handful of winnable races each election
cycle and call in fellow Constitutionalists from all over the state to
defeat the RINOs and elect some of your own. If they do not respect
you MAKE THEM FEAR YOU. The respect will follow later –
trust me.
Now is not the time for peripheral issues either. The survival of
the United States of America is at stake. The future of Western
civilization hangs in the balance. CORE ISSUES ONLY. The
Constitution, National Security (including border control, and gun
rights), Education and the Economy) . I don’t want to minimize
other issues, but this is a last ditch effort to save your country and
mine. If we blow this one, there may not be another in our great
great grandchildrens’ lifetimes.
This is cultural warfare folks and we must concentrate
resources on core issues that may actually help to defeat our
opponents in both parties, in the fast approaching battles ahead.
Logically, the United States of America should never have
been born. In the 1770?s most Americans were either pro-British
or apathetic. Fewer than 10% of the population actually
supported the revolution and way fewer actually fought it.
How in God’s name, did a
bunch of poorly armed farmers
and lawyers, laborers, shopkeepers
and tradesmen, seriously
hope to defeat the mightiest
army in the world at that time?
Yet they did it.
I left out one important group
for a reason. The first American
revolution was preached from the pulpit. Hundreds of pastors,
a bible in one hand, a long rifle in the other, boldly supported
George Washington’s ragtag army. They understood better than
any one that America was founded on religious freedom. They
understood exactly what was at stake.
The first American revolutionaries were inspired by something
much greater than themselves. You Tea Party revolutionaries
always need to keep the big picture in mind.
If you don’t think this war is worth winning, you tell me one
that is? If you don’t think your grandchildren’s liberty is worth
fighting for, please tell me what you do care about?
We all admire the first American revolutionaries, for their
incredible bravery and fortitude and sacrifice. They risked
everything to give you the exceptional country you enjoy today.
In two hundred years time, young teenagers will be standing in
front of civics and history classes in
schools all across America. These
young people will talk about their free
and prosperous country with great
pride. But some of the proudest will be
able to say something like this: “You know guys, you know back
in the early 2000s when the country was in crisis, when a lot of
people thought America was done for. When patriots stood up and
saved the Republic, restored the Constitution? Gave us the incredible
freedom and prosperity we enjoy today? Well I’ve done some
family research. And you know what? My great great great
Grandpa and Grandma…they were in the TEA PARTY…”
Your Creator gave you both a heart and a brain folks. Now is
the time to use both.
Yours in Liberty
