Second, I was an active participant in all of the early planning meetings, email chats, and online networking that was happening the first year of Tea Party Activism in 2009.
Point being that I was not just a casual attendee or helper, I was one of the main organizers in Colorado.
Third, I was so disgusted by the disorganized mess that was the Tax Day Colorado Tea Party on April 15th, 2009, the various infighting, posturing for power, kowtowing to party politics, and general disorganization, that I made the decision to organize my own event for the 9-12-2009 Constitution Celebration that was being promoted by Glenn Beck.
Please note, I did not have any guidance, instruction, financing, or outside help while organizing this event, despite Nancy Pelosi calling us astroturf. Tea Partiers tend to hate both political parties at about the same level.
Fourth, I was angered but not surprised when my online registration form at the IRS web site was rejected with the words Tea Party in the form.
Fifth, the blowback on me and my family was a reminder that political dissent was no longer acceptable in Obamas world. I will not outline the different tactics that were used to disuade me from my activism, but if a financial audit had happened, I would not have been surprised based on the subtle but real intimidation that was already taking place.
Sixth, the IRS should be abolished as soon as possible before Obamacare ensures that all American Citizens walk in daily terror of the Federal Government. Steve Forbes flat tax is looking pretty good about now.
I just registered for my drivers license and had to fill out a voter ID form for Utah.
Last year I left the republican party for good and registered as an Independent.
This time I just decided to align with the Libertarians in Utah.
I am so tired of the race for the presidency and have resigned myself to four more years of President Obama. I did not believe I could live through a second Clinton term, but I did, and although I believe it is likely the government will collapse under a second Obama term, I actually believe that the only way now for us to find our footing as Americans is for the whole Socialistic, Crony Capitalistic, Corporate Welfare state to collapse so that we can start over.
I pray that this does not happen because it will mean many people will die, but I do not see a path out of the cesspool that is the current American Political system.
I participated with the Tea Party in Denver because I felt like I had to do something visible to stand up for liberty and economic sanity.
But lately I find myself weary from the daily grind of being a news junkie and political hawk. I am so tired of the tit for tat back and forth of the lies, smears, and hyperbole that is the American Political Process.
I believe if the US had the will to elect Ron Paul as president we could maybe get some semblance of Constitutional Authority and Balance going again.
But he will not be the nominee and I don’t know that Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan will be able to truly stand for Freedom.
I don’t plan to spend too much time worrying about it though. America has been on this trajectory towards slavery and debt and implosion for a long, long time and I am holding out for the return of my Savior Jesus Christ who will have the government upon his shoulders…
Isaiah 9:6 “For unto us a child is born…and the Government shall be upon his shoulders…”
