Letting Freedom Ring

The RINO State

I told everyone so: N.J. Gov. Chris Christie is not a Conservative; he’s a moderate. But no one believed me. They almost booed me at a tea party meeting when I stood up and warned them of it; they sure weren’t happy.

He wasn’t a happy camper at the first Tea Party meeting, as I’ve noted in previous blogs. He was mighty put-out that we asked him a question he didn’t like. He fumed for a full minute before answering. His primary opponent, Steve Lonegan, wasn’t happy, either. They finally demanded that all the candidates – none of whom the crowd wanted to see; they wanted to hear citizen speakers – be given the same question. The organizers obliged them.

He seems to be a Conservative hero, especially in the Battle of the Budget. But while he’s fending off union thugs with one hand, he’s signing New Jersey’s version of the Cap and Trade Bill with the other, and banning off-shore drilling.

Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck have man-crushes on him, it’s said. If so, love is indeed blind. But then, neither is from New Jersey. They don’t realize what a moderate problem we have in this state. Our RINO’s are more RINO than any other state in the country. We have the most RINOs per square mile. Christine Whitman was the RINO Queen. We should change our state nickname to “The RINO State."

We knew that when we formed the first Tea Party meetings. That’s WHY we formed the Tea Party groups. Moderates were more of a problem to us than Liberals. It was the Moderates that I went nose to nose with (much to the consternation of the organizers).

“We’ve got to get the Moderates on board,” they cried. My response was: the Moderates are the problem! They’re the ones who voted in the RINO Republicans into Congress in 2006. They’re all for green energy, windmills, gay marriage, cap and trade carbon credits, taxing businesses, and legalizing pot. In fact, Christie signed the medical marijuana law in New Jersey. Thank you very much. Some hero he is.

I don’t know whether to blame him or not. This is New Jersey after all. The Moderates sold out the Republican party long ago. Many of them are just cross-overs, who changed parties at the behest of the Liberals. Either way, we Conservatives know exactly what sort of fight we have on our hands.

Christie is your typical, middle-of-the-road politician catering to the over-educated, middle-class, pot-addled, brainwashed butt-kissing Gen-X voters who still don’t quite get it. They don’t want to mix-it up with the other side; all they want to do is “hang”.

Mostly big business cubicled workers are already voting-booth trained; if they even bother to go. What do they know or care about freedom? They don’t have freedom at work and don’t miss it. Who cares about history? That’s yesterday’s news. They just keep their heads down and chant the mantra. They’d rather die than be uncool or unhip, and their Liberal counterparts keep them in line. What would Jon Stewart say if he found out they were Conservative? Ewww!

Besides, they enjoy dismissing Conservatives, turning their noses up at the Tea Parties. It’s good sport. Makes them feel intellectual, mature, and independent (as their freedom is being swept away from under them, the morons). They can pat themselves on the back as their incomes are taxed away from them for being compassionate and community-spirited. They can afford to be generous; they have plenty to spare. Just look at the credit card debt they’ve run up - $818 BILLION – yes, BILLION. That’s just at the moment. Damned fools. And they mock us, the Tea Parties.

The mortgage debt is at $13 trillion, and total personal debt is $16 trillion. Altogether, that comes to roughly $52,000 a year per person. That’s more than my entire salary at the moment. That’s not counting taxes, either.

The total U.S. National Debt is at about the same number as the mortgage debt, $13 trillion. The debt per taxpayer is $121,800. The X and Y Generations are the generations that think money grows on trees. Thanks to our removal from the Gold Standard, we might as use the leaves on trees for money, or Monopoly money, for all that it’s worth.

But do you think you can get New Jersey RINOs to understand that? Not on your tintype money tree, you can’t. Their ears are plugged with cement. If you try to tell them, they just stick their fingers in their ears and sing, “La la la la la, I can’t hear you!” and cover up their eyes. Hear no common sense, see no common sense, speak no common sense.

The credit card, that invention of modern times, makes it’s so easy to spend money and pay the bills without ever considering a budget. We don’t even use our worthless paper money anymore; now it’s all plastic. We don’t even need to write a paper check to pay most of our bills; we can pay online and think about it even less.

Home buyers scarcely need to put a down payment on a house anymore, particularly in New Jersey; they can just sign up, and when they can’t make the payments anymore, they just walk away from the house. Poof! Just like that.

Those are some of the reasons New Jersey Conservatives are up in arms, as it were. That’s why I fought tooth and nail with the Moderates who came to the Tea Party meetings. As far as I was concerned, they were infiltrators, Democrats in Republican clothing. Actually, it wasn’t so much the clothing. I could spot them instantly. They never dressed like Conservatives, like everyone else in the room. They stuck out like sore Liberals. But I didn’t want to tell them that and tip them off; it was the smirks that finally gave them away.

We – the Tea Party Conservatives – may lose. Or we may win. We may have to stage an “intervention” to wake these silly youngsters up to the fact that freedom is on the brink, up against the ropes. One thing we’re not going to do is give up or give in.

They dismiss us as losers, as “the fringe” (according to a columnist in The Bergen Record). Might doesn’t make right, though. Great numbers of voters once supported slavery, as great numbers seem to support the legalization of marijuana now.

They think they can laugh us away, laugh away all the problems the country has, laugh away the threats to freedom, as Jon Stewart intends to do in Washington, D.C., on Oct. 30th, which is called Goosey Night here in New Jersey.

But we’ve got news for them: the joke’s on them.
