Live Breathe and Die

The Tea Party is a collective conscious; it is not an official organization. It is a movement, but not a party. It see’s the downside of bloated government, like a giant ship that is difficult to steer. This is a collection of Americans that see’s government control of people’s lives as problematic. There is a belief in the Tea Party movement that unchecked government spending will burden future generations and make America subservient to other nations.

There is a real concern about our sovereignty and the fact that we are losing control of it. With that concern is the concern that our borders are porous and that those entering our country illegally are given the same rights as legal citizens.

The Wisdom that Birthed Our Country

The Tea Party declares that they trust the wisdom of our Founders. They trust the wisdom of the U.S. Constitution. They find inspiration in the Declaration of Independence. They embrace state’s rights.

Those who embrace the Tea Party movement are concerned by those who believe that progress in this country means dismissing and marginalizing our founding documents. They are alarmed by those who engage in revisionist history and ignore the wisdom of those who made America great.  They are distressed by the unchecked growth of the federal government and its unfettered incursion into American’s lives.

America should embrace the Tea Party movement because it is the only voice of reason for America’s future. It is the voice of Paul Revere. It is the voice of Martin Luther King. It warns of approaching danger through peaceful assembly and a common-sense message.

The federal government may dismiss the Tea Party movement, but the Tea Party message appeals to the best sensibilities of Libertarians, Independents, Republicans and Democrats.  Those who understand why America has been called the greatest country on earth will understand the motives of the Tea Party.
America’s future depends on the message of the Tea Party movement resonating with all who care about this country.

The Tea Party’s participants understand the past and understand what needs to happen to assure a better future. They trust the founders and believe America is worth fighting for, just as it once was. That’s the glue that holds them together. These are my people; Americans.

There’s something I notice every time I go to the grocery store. I live in a border state. Just a stones throw away is Mexico. When I go to any of my local grocery stores, everyone and I mean a majority of people, are speaking Spanish. That is not the thing I notice most; no it’s something that really is irritating. These same people, most of whom are in the U.S. illegally, are arrogant, obnoxious and believe they are in some type of ruling class.

And who should be surprised. Everywhere they look, they see their native language. They get free legal representation from the ACLU, they get political power through groups like La Raza and the Democrat Party. They have little fear for breaking the law, for stealing someone else’s identity.  They laugh at the stupid gringos who provide them with free healthcare through the ER’s in local hospitals and state Medicaid plans. They get food stamps and other benefits through the state government, a government that is already strained to provide any benefits to real Americans.

A half-million illegal’s live in Arizona.  They commit a disproportionate amount of the crime, starting with breaking into the country, and then stealing the identities of Americans. 75% of the outstanding murder warrants in Los Angeles country are for illegal’s who have quickly escaped justice by disappearing back over the border. Hundreds of  dead Americans and no justice.

Arizona attempts Common Sense
A new law passed by the Arizona legislature and sent to the governor (SB 1070) is one of the few to attempt to stop the madness and insanity that has allowed illegal immigration to prosper with wholesale lawlessness in Arizona and other border states. The new measure would attempt to crackdown of this out-of-control problem in Arizona, which has an estimated 460,000-600,000 illegal immigrants and is the nation’s busiest border crossing point.

The anchor-baby problem has to be addressed also. One Mexican caller into a conservative radio show in Phoenix complained that you cannot send illegal Mexicans back to Mexico because you would be taking a parent away from “at least three legal citizens.”  That would not be fair and would be cruel. 

Statistics show that he is right about one thing, Mexicans are having more children than Caucasians.  The average illegal Mexican family in the U.S. does have three or more children and most are draining the social services budgets in dozens of states. All of those babies are instant U.S. citizens and most are born at the taxpayers’ expense.

The Left Wing Backlash to Enforcing the Law
Now, we hear from news sources around the country, that Arizona is taking us back to the dark ages, that Arizona will engage in racial profiling. Arizona suffers daily from the invasion of illegal aliens into the state and the federal government and the Democrats have turned their backs on the reality of the situation and moved towards what is politically expedient. 

How many more Americans must die?  How many more good American police officers must lose their lives?  How much more property damage must occur at the hands of illegal’s who steal anything made of metal to sell as scrap metal?  How much more must the taxpayers be drained and the budgets of cities tapped out because of the additional social services, printing costs for Spanish everything and incarceration costs that we must incur?

No other country kowtows to political correctness and the whims and power of the non-citizens within its borders as we do. No other country would allow protest marches by non-citizens against those who want the laws of their own country enforced. No other country would double the printing costs of every public notice, every municipal announcement, to satisfy people who have no interest in learning the language of our country.

No other country would allow an organization like La Raza, an organization whose sole intent is the downfall of America and its hostile take-over by Mexico, to exist and prosper within the sovereign state.

The Arrogance of Illegal’s – Why Should We Worry?
While illegal’s in this country are immune from the consequences of their law-breaking lifestyles, immune from arrest for identity theft, immune from crossing the border illegally, they laugh at the foolish Americans, thumb their collective noses at us and act like an arrogant privileged class that expects free services and insulation from prosecution.

Illegal’s and the Accompanying Crime Wave
Nine thousand (9000) Americans are murdered every year by illegal’s. Tens of thousands more are the victims of child molesters and rapists, home invaders, burglars and hit and run drivers who are all in our country illegally.

In Arizona, it is a daily occurrence. It is akin to letting the inmates out of the prisons and allowing them to go on a crime spree, unabated by the law or consequences. Because of the left-wings’ political ambitions and forced political correctness and a system that has gone awry with lawsuits by the ACLU and other extremists, we now have a lop-sided view of right and wrong. Our culture and society have been perverted to a point where lawlessness is allowed to flourish and any attempt to stop it is met with charges of racial profiling, discrimination and racism.

In the meantime, real Americans suffer. The next time I go grocery shopping, an illegal will block the aisle and ignore my request to pass through. It has happened a dozen times. Ironic that we can not do the same with our borders. Real Americans have become an under-class and it will get worse as long as lawlessness is allowed to go unabated.

As the new bill in Arizona awaits the governor’s signature, pressure from news sources and even the White House is mounting with jeers and heckling that this attempt to enforce the law is somehow wrong. Millions of Americans on the left will pull out all the stops to make certain that illegal immigration can flourish, that more votes are available to the Democrat Party and that billions more in social services will to dolled out.

America, take back your borders, take back your soveriegnty, take back your laws. There is precious time to do so.
