RETURN TO THE CENTER
Posted by Barbara at United American Tea Party Blog
Tonight we were privileged to be part of history in the making in our historical city. Thanks to Bree Lee and her wonderful crew, we had a great meeting and I hope everyone who came felt as energized and heartened as my husband and I did.
The enemies of our country are very, very slick at calling all their initiatives by warm, fuzzy names, such "Freedom of Choice Act" and "Fairness Doctrine", masking their true agenda. We should learn from them! Unfortunately the public is accustomed to bumper sticker mentality and we must avoid getting too much into details. Here is a suggestion for a slogan that captures what we're about, but avoids the pitfalls and traps our enemies are setting for us.
RETURN TO THE CENTER
The Constitution of the United States of America is neither right-wing nor left-wing. It is not Republican or Democratic. It is certainly not extremist. It is the strong center upon which our great country, unique among nations, was founded.
For too long, we have allowed the media and the politicians to split us up and this is a serious mistake. By allowing ourselves to be subdivided and pitted against one another we have been manipulated and weakened. We have grown tired of the politicians playing up the old Democrat vs. Republican rivalry, while they joined together to pick our pockets once they were in office. The two party system in our country has degenerated to the point where it has less credibility than professional wrestling and it isn’t even as entertaining.
All across our country there are millions of people who are not extremists, they are not activists, they are simply Americans and they want their country back. We need to offer them our program for a return to the center—the Constitution of the United States of America. Let’s join together to return our country to its Constitutional Center.
NOTE: As soon as we allow ourselves to be labeled, we have lost a large part of the battle. The forces working to overthrow our country want to divide and conquer. They want to label us as extremists. There is nothing extremist about the Constitution of our country. The last thing in the world that our enemies want is for us to actually wake up and energize the great slumbering giant of the American people. They hope if they can paint us a “right-wing extremists” the public will just roll over and go back to sleep.
As for our talking points, I really think that the devil is in the details. The more precise we are, the easier it will be for the enemy to pick us off from one another, splinter us into interest groups. Let’s just keep it simple—return to the Constitutional center. Limited government (without getting too specific), more individual responsibility, a simplified tax code, and reduce deficit spending. We are battling for the hearts of our countrymen. Don’t give too much detail for people to quibble over. Just get their attentions, then their imaginations, then get them working.
ABOVE ALL ELSE, WE MUST BE VERY CAREFUL OF INFILTRATORS WHO WANT TO HIJACK US FOR THEIR OWN PURPOSES. THERE WILL BE PEOPLE TRYING TO PROMOTE VIOLENCE AND WE MUST BE VIGILANT AGAINST THEM. ANYONE WHO PROMOTES VIOLENCE OR DISREGARD FOR THE RIGHTS OF OTHER AMERICAN HAS NO PLACE WITH US.
