Tea Party Declaration of Independence

0 votes

An interesting declaration from PolicyNotParty.com. I just came across this, which was apparently published today. I do not, at this point, have much information on this group, their motivations, etc., although I am sure many of you here do. :)

As the course of human events winds its way through History, it has found some paths lead to Tyranny and some to Liberty. In seeking a path to Liberty, a great and powerful movement is now rising from every corner of our land. Created by the Will of the American People, it rejects unconstitutional domination by the Government that is supposed to be its servant. This movement has arisen, in large part, because our elected officials have failed us.

For much of its history the United States has been a land of prosperity and liberty, sound policies such as fiscal responsibility, constitutionally limited government and a belief in the free market have safeguarded this condition. In recent years however, Congress, the President, the Federal Reserve Board and the Courts have replaced those practices with profligate government spending and expansion of the government power beyond what is
constitutionally permissible.

This course, if not reversed, can only lead to economic collapse and tyranny.

Therefore, Individuals acting through the Tea Party Movement, seek to restore the policies, which are proven to safeguard liberty and prosperity for all. We will organize, demonstrate and vote until this restoration has been achieved. We will stay focused on this goal and remain INDEPENDENT from any persons or political parties who seek to distract us from this end.

Eric

What's next, the Tea Party

What's next, the Tea Party Constitution?

What they fail to do in this version of the Tea Party's message is include non-intervention in their "Core Values" statement:

Core Values

* Fiscal Responsibility
* Constitutionally Limited Government
* Free Markets

Without addressing this issue of foreign policy, they are no different than the new (allegedly fiscally conservative now) GOP they are trying to distance themselves from.

The same goes for the "Contract from America" crowd.
