The Tea Party Movement
has sunk its teeth into the November 2 election. Often referred to as “right-wing nuts,” the truth is that these
people are certainly not to be feared. Over 70% of Americans agree with the bulk of what the Tea Party stands for. Are they
conservative – yes. And proud of it. Proud of its history and tradition. Proud of its results, for the most part. Proud
of what it represents – what it stands for. But wingnuts – naw! Not really. If you want to see extremists, try
running down the roster of the Democrats in Congress. There is where you will find Al Franken and Alan Grayson and Barney
Frank and Nancy Pelosi and Bob Etheridge, and Barbara Boxer, and Charlie Rangel, and Harry Reid, and Maxine Waters, and Sheila
Jackson Lee, and Eric Massa, and Dennis Kucinich – to name just a few. Do you think that 70% of America supports this
circus act?

You see, this election
is not going to be only about right verses left. It is about much more than that. It is about right verses wrong. It is about
up verses down. It is about independence verses dependence. It is about paychecks verses food stamps. It is about Capitalism
verses Socialism. It is about big government verses small government. It is about freedom verses control. It is about less
taxes verses more taxes. It is about a balanced budget verses no budget at all. It is about reining-in spending verses spending
more and more and more and more. It is about success verses failure. It is about competence verses incompetence. It is about
hope verses despair. It is about telling the truth verses being politically correct. It is about digging out verses being
shoveled further in. It is about jobs verses rising unemployment. It is about the private sector verses the public sector.
It is about the Constitution verses the Rules for Radicals. It is about opportunity verses entitlement. It is about winners
verses losers. It is about sunlight verses darkness. It is about fiscal responsibility verses spending, deficits, and debt.
It is about landmarks verses earmarks. It is about the Restoring America rally verses the OneNation rally. It is about Ronald
Reagan verses George Soros. It is about good verses evil. It is about transparency verses secrecy. It’s about honesty
and integrity verses smear campaigns and backroom deals. It’s about owning verses being owned. It’s about fighting
against radical Islamic Jihad verses conducting “Overseas Contingency Operations.” It’s about an atmosphere
of economic certainty verses the “Summer of Recovery.”

It’s about
targeted spending verses “shovel-ready projects.” It’s about “passing the bill to find out what’s
in it,” verses an online display of the bill so that the American public can enter the debate. It’s about drinking
soda verses drinking Kool Aid. It’s about Fox News verses MSNBC. It’s about thin skin verses thick skin. It’s

and verify” verses bowing to foreign leaders. It’s about personal profits verses political payoffs. It’s
about bi-partisan solutions verses “ramming it down our throats.” It’s about “you’re a racist”
verses “I disagree with your policies.” It is about keeping what you earn verses spreading the wealth around.
It is about a free market state verses a Nanny State. It is about securing the borders verses suing the state that tries to
enforce border security laws. It is about the personal right to choose verses being forced to buy insurance if you don’t
want to. It is about personal liberty verses being told how to live, right down to what you eat. It is about accepting the
consequences of taking risks verses bailing out failed risk takers. It is about responsibility verses rights alone. It is
about public referendum verses a single judge’s decision. It is about the law verses an executive order. It is about
making a decision verses appointing never-ending commissions, task forces, and czars. It is about privacy verses governmental
invasion of privacy. It is about getting fair and balanced, unbiased reporting verses what we have now from the major print
and electronic news media.

This is what
the November 2, 2010 election is all about. And it is the Tea Party Movement that has brought these issues front and center,
and kept them there. They did this in spite of the lamestream media’s attempts to ridicule them, vilify them, cover
up and not report good stories about them, report misleading information about them, distort and misrepresent their members
and activities, and flat-out lie to the American people about them. I believe we owe a debt of gratitude to the Tea Party
Movement for raising our national consciousness, focusing us back again on the things that really matter, and being boned
and filleted for, and while, doing it! My personal ‘Thank you’ to the “tea baggers!”
