The information below is filled with journalistic malfeasance. Mr. Williams tips his hand early with hyperbole: “the Tea Party’s death grip”. Since when is supporting the Constitution and natural law a death grip? As for the political future of the Republican Party, I am more concerned about the future of our Liberty.
Instead of supporting the rule of law and fiscal restraint, Mr. Williams continues to spread the government’s propaganda that the debt ceiling was raised. It was suspended for over a year.
His solutions to our bankruptcy is threefold:
1. Extend unemployment benefits from their current length of just under two years in most states (sloth).
2. Raise the minimum wage (additional tax revenue will be collected).
3. Reform immigration (to buy votes using the fruits of our labor).
I am not concerned about the value of the dollar or solving an insolvable fiscal crisis brought about by our “leaders” in both parties. Has anyone ever heard one politician state his plan to eliminate our debt? The only solution is the complete devaluation of the dollar and they understand this truth.
I know that the Tea Party label has become synonymous with every evil afflicting the nation in order to marginalize their efforts. My actions are to support the Word of God , the rule of law (currently the Constitution) and the restoration of Liberty. In other words, I am a patriot who has a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence and I pledge to my life, my fortune, and my sacred Honor to restore Liberty.

Republican leaders must keep Tea Party on the run
By Juan Williams
Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnel (R-Ky.) are now in position to end the Tea Party’s death grip on the Republican Party’s political future.
Last week, Boehner and McConnell faced down the Tea Party’s threat to cripple the government when they supported raising the nation’s debt ceiling. That move prevented GOP political suicide.
If the nation’s credit rating, stocks and the recovery went down the sewer because of Republicans’ refusal to raise the debt ceiling, the GOP’s chances in the midterm elections would have been severely damaged.
Having successfully defied the Tea Party on the debt ceiling, now it is time for Boehner and McConnell to use that momentum to pass three bills: An extension of unemployment benefits for people suffering long-term joblessness; a minimum wage hike; and, most important of all, immigration reform.
The Tea Party caucus in the House and the Tea Party star in the Senate – Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) — are never going to love Boehner or McConnell. Both Congressional leaders have tried for years to accommodate Tea Party passions but they can never do enough.
