King George Tea Party
13 January 2020
Fellow Members of the King George TEA Party:
As you will remember, our next meeting will be Thursday 6 February where we will have Daniel Gade as our guest speaker. This will be a fantastic opportunity to meet him and ask your questions in his quest to unseat Mark Warner. Here are some online sources you can use to prepare for this visit:
Last week I noticed that someone had -AGAIN- defaced one of our signs (see the picture below). As you know, both of our signs quote President Trump’s inauguration speech with the phrase, “From this moment on it will be America first.” Well, in the first defacement the vandals simply used a permanent marker to scratch out “America" and wrote underneath, “Russia.” Elementary school-level, if you ask me. This time they were a little more creative in that not only did they go to the effort to match the sign’s existing paint color but they creatively used that spray paint to convert “America” to “me.” Middle school-level this time. Either way, my son and I were able to restore the sign to its original message. It is, however, time to put up a new one.
Probably the most important news article included below would be the top one found in the Second Amendment section (titled, RICHMOND: THE MOTHER OF ALL BUFFALO JUMPS). While it is written from a very “tactical” perspective, it is a good piece of analysis and does address several of the potential scenarios that could arise if people become really, really stupid during Lobby Day. I know that much of what is written in this article is quite beyond the very peaceful protests that is characteristic of the TEA Party… but the author is quite right that this Lobby Day is a perfect opportunity for nefarious agitators (ANTIFA being one of them) to incite violence. If you go to Lobby Day, do not get caught up in it.
TEA Party / Nationalism Movement
From the top article below:
This is exactly right… that what was normal “back in the day” is now labeled with some kind of “…ist” moniker used to categorize, isolate, and humiliate anyone adhering to “the old” morals. At some point the pendulum will swing back but the damage done to American culture will be indelible.
Regulation
From the top article below:
A balance between the world “as is” versus the advancement of civilization must be achieved. It is good to see that President Trump’s deregulation efforts will begin to find favor in the future.
National Debt / Its the Spending, Stupid!
From the top article below:
That is $450 for every man, woman, and child in America… the burden on an individual taxpayer is even higher. This is outrageous.
Economy
From the top article below:
As Ronald Reagan said often, “A rising tide lifts all boats."
First Amendment / Freedom of Speech / Freedom of Religion
From the top article below:
This is also a call for we Conservatives to push back against against censoring our voices in the public square. Being brave can mean just not shutting up.
Second Amendment / Right to Keep and Bear Arms
Regarding the top article below, the below is from an e-mail that a friend of mine sent to me:
Take a look at the picture in this article just above "Scenario 2.” As they say in safety training, "Don’t be that guy.” If you plan on attending Lobby Day, dress like you would if you KNEW you were going to be on national media. You just might be whether you recognize it or not. Sure, there are probably going to be the agent provocateurs that stage such crowds for the camera… but let’s not add to that mix.
Abortion / Right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness
From the top article below:
And the Democrats accuse we Conservatives of being cold, callous, and uncaring for the vulnerable in our society. You don’t get more vulnerable than being a yet-to-be-born child. And yet, the Democrats chose to not recognize their vulnerability.
Corruption / Rule of Law
From the top article below:
The logic these people use is… illogical. Getting a college degree in order to practice law must not be as hard as getting a degree in, oh, I don’t know… underwater basket weaving.
National Sovereignty / Border Security / Illegal Alien Invasion
From the top article below:
And who is the Biggest Looser in all of this? None other than Nancy Pelosi. I remember well reading about this exchange on Twitter during last year’s government shutdown:
This just goes to show you that Nancy does NOT run the country.
Socialism / Creeping Socialism
From the top article below:
Most people talking about Bernie Sanders’ viability as a Democrat candidate for the election completely miss what the real damage that is being done here. No amount of empty promises for "free stuff" (college, healthcare, etc., etc.) is going to motivate enough people to elect Bernie as President in 2020. The real damage, damage that is both widespread and threatening to the American way of life, is that Bernie Sanders The Socialist is giving a platform to socialism as “just another form of government” and that socialist ideas are acceptable in American society.
Censorship / Social Media Censorship
From the top article below:
My favorite fictional hero character is anyone played by John Wayne. John Wayne ALWAYS played the hero in whatever movie he acted in. But you don’t have to be John Wayne, the actor, in order to be a real-life hero. Anytime you stand up for what is right is when you, a real-life person, are being a hero. Sure, it can be very intimidating to do so, but watching a good John Wayne movie reminds us that it is OK to do just that. The Marxist Left HATE it when we feel bold enough to push back.
Denial / Deception / Propaganda / Social Engineering
From the top article below:
In the section immediately above this was a discussion about being a real-life hero. Nate Gephart is a great example of a real-life hero… to his kids, to his community, and to America.
Attacks Against Conservatives
Elections / Vote Integrity
From the top article below:
In one sentence, that is the plan.
Miscellaneous
As always, I welcome any questions or comments you may have.
