ATTENDING the Central Valley TEA Party here on Tax Day, April 15, was one of the most heartening, energizing and exhilarating experiences this writer has enjoyed in quite some time. There have been times in recent years, quite frankly, when I felt like a lone voice crying in the wilderness, warning of the dangers facing the United States of America not only from without but from within. But no more do I feel alone. Clearly, the American people -- We, the People -- have had MORE THAN ENOUGH of the heavy-handed policies of power-craven politicians who are taking this country in a head-long descent into socialist-fascist totalitarian tyranny.

“I look back a generation ago when California was spending far less than it is today, our taxes were far lower than they are today, and yet we had the finest highway system in the world, we had the finest public school system in the country, we were producing electricity and water so cheaply that many communities didn’t bother to measure the stuff. And the only thing that has changed between those days and these days is public policy,” said Rep.

Dear Mr. Steele .... You called Rush Limbaugh's defense of conservative principles "incendiary" and "ugly." Let me state this clearly, Mr. Steele: It IS ugly out there, and it's going to get uglier. The Obamacrats are focused on destroying the Republican party, destroying the Conservative movement and destroying America as it was envisioned by its founders. We are already well down that path. If the so-called leadership of the Republican party (that, presumably, would be you) doesn't get incendiary soon and stand up to the socialist left, rather than making a nice sweet non-threatening show of bi-partisanship and "working together," that so-called leadership will soon be swept aside by those of us who truly love America as it was intended to be, ought to be, and can be. Incendiary? I certainly hope so. Somebody's got to light a fire under you guys!

There are those who would have you believe that all political agendas are morally equivalent and, therefore, equally patriotic. That is a preposterous notion. While it is true that no one political party has a monopoly on patriotism, it is equally true that there are some political agendas that are flagrantly unpatriotic. Any agenda that seeks to diminish the Constitutional rights of American citizens or to undermine the Constitution itself falls in that category, and there has been a lot of that going around lately. Our basic freedoms have been methodically eroded over the last few decades, and anyone (regardless of party) who has been a party to allowing that to happen has engaged in an unpatriotic act. Patriotism is as patriotism does.

"Smoke if you like, or if you must – if you haven’t yet found the desire or the will or the motivation or the strength to quit. But c’mon now, it shouldn’t take the force of law to persuade you to be a considerate smoker and do your smoking where people who choose not to smoke, and particularly children, don’t have to breathe the stuff."
