Today, we celebrate the anniversary of America’s independence from the Crown of England. There were many factors which lead to the Declaration of Independence, but the straw that broke the camel’s back was over taxes. So, today, I think it only appropriate that we consider the words of a founding member of the TEA Party (Taxed Enough Already Party).

First, this founder warned against allowing political Parties in our system at all. He said that they will only lead to faction that, if not checked, will destroy us. Essentially, political Parties divide our loyalty. It takes it away from the principles and ideals of liberty and to this nation and places them in the Party and its leadership. Once that happens, this leader warns that our system can no longer function.

This TEA Party leader also reminds us that the two pillars which support a free and self-governing society are religion and morality, and that without them, we cannot and will not remain free. He first reminds us that morality is dependent upon and does not exist outside of religion. Thus, these pillars are interdependent: we cannot have one without the other. History has proven this to be true, both before and after this TEA Party founders issued his warnings. But this man went further. He forcefully asserted that anyone who tried to remove either morality or religion from the public square was not only un-American, but an enemy of this nation.

Personally, I believe this is all true. What’s more, I strongly believe that the words of this TEA Party leader should be taught to our children in our public school. They should be made to read his warning, and be tested on it as part of their curriculum. And they should be taught to understand what drove this TEA Party founder to issue his warning…again!

That’s right; I said we should teach it again. You see, for more than 150 years, we did teach this TEA Party founder’s warning in our public schools. It wasn’t until our nation fell into the grips of those who seek to control us that he was removed from our public school curriculum, and he was removed because, if our children know about him, and what he said and why he said it, then those who want to control us will have a much harder – if not impossible – time of achieving their goals. So, who is this TEA Party founder? You know who he is, you probably just don’t know that he said all these things – or that he said them in his farewell speech to the nation.

The next time you take out a dollar bill, remember that George Washington said Party politics would destroy us, and that anyone who sought to remove God and His commandments from the public square is an enemy to liberty and this nation. If you do not believe me, then take time to read it for yourself:

George Washington’s Farewell Address, Sept. 19, 1796

This nation has a Constitution. That Constitution is the supreme law of the land. It divides the power of the central government between the Legislative, Judicial and Executive branches, and it further defines what power or authority each of those branches has. This is the law. It is not a ‘suggestion.’ So, when one of these three branches of government intentionally and habitually invades the authority of the other two, it is not ‘borrowing’ the power of the other branches, it is usurping it – and that is not only the act of a tyrant or dictator, but an impeachable offense which should find the offending party out of office and in jail for sedition and/or subversion of the Constitution.

This week, Obama continued his boastful claims that he will go around Congress. This is a euphemism for saying he will dictate to this nation. Not only are these actions blatantly unlawful, they are the very embodiment of what it means to be a dictator – something our Constitution was specifically designed to prevent and protect Americans from having to endure.

But alas, Obama and his administration are not alone in this usurpation of power; the Republican Party – every member in federal office – is sharing in the act. If this were not true, articles of impeachment would have already been filed against Obama, however, to date, this has not been done. To be sure, the Republicans have many ‘reasonable’ excuses – the Senate will not convict, we do not want to impeach the first black President, etc – but that is all they are – excuses. And they serve to insulate the GOP from its culpability in the overthrow of the U.S. Constitution, because that is what we are witnessing in this nation right now: the dismantling of our system of government and replacement with the nation’s first black dictator.

If you doubt me, read your history and check the process by which republics fall against the events of the past 50-75 years in this nation. If you do not think I am using these words correctly, or that they do not accurately describe what Obama and the GOP are doing – read your dictionary and test the definitions against the form and function of their actions. And if my words offend you – tough! It is high time you learn to face the truth of what is happening to America.
