WAYNE ALLYN ROOT: One Nation Under Tea Party Revolt

When peasants with pitchforks decide to revolt, it usually doesn't end well for the ruling class.

I predicted that Barack Obama's radical Marxist agenda would lead to a citizen revolution, the likes of which had not been seen in this country since 1776. I predicted that this revolution to take back our country would be led by a coalition of libertarians, conservatives, disgruntled Republicans, independents, taxpayers, small business owners, gun owners, patriots and Christians. That revolution now has a name: The Tea Party.

And who are these new revolutionaries? Many of them are re-enacting the '60's revolution. They have evolved from peace and pot to pitchforks, from tie-dye to torches, from denim to deficit and debt, and from communes to condos. Today the Holy Grail isn't Woodstock, it's Washington. Why the change? It's called financial responsibility. The "me generation" is now all about the grandchildren.

The remarkable Tea Party victories on Sept. 14 are yet more proof this is not business as usual. Entrenched incumbents and establishment D.C. insiders are being swept away like debris in a tsunami. Most importantly, it isn't only liberal Democrat scalps the Tea Party is taking. At the top of the list are the enablers -- big government RINOS (Republicans in name only). Exhibit A is Mike Castle.

The longtime Delaware Republican congressman and former governor is the kind of GOP insider that normally survives times of voter unrest. Political insiders like Castle have always known how to turn on the charm, raise lots of money and use that money on advertising campaigns to convince voters that "next time" they'll vote with the people. It's always "next time." Except for Castle, there will be no more next times. This citizen revolution sent Castle to the unemployment line.

Castle is a RINO whose votes gave bipartisan cover to big government expansion and an ever-expanding welfare state. Castle was the exact type of Republican fraud who through his compromise and "bipartisanship" (sellout) made fiscal conservatives and free-market libertarians fighting for the survival of our children and grandchildren appear as "extremists, radicals and nutcases." The reality is the extremists are those who have bankrupted our once great country and left us with more than $100 trillion in debt and unfunded liabilities.

and my prediction... 20 years from now, the most noteable accomplishment of the Tea Party is the simple fact that they are dividing the Republican Party which will cause many, many lost votes which go to the most moderate Democrats which overall results in the Republican party blowing their biggest and easiest opportunity to resume control of Congress and eventually the presidency. United we stand, divided we fall. Althouh they ae hiding it relatively well, internally, the republican party is in shambles and the independent thinking, open minded American people are seeing this and asking the question that if the Republicans can't even work together internally, how can they possibly hope to prevent a 2nd term for Obama.

I have also predicted a revolution.
I certainly hope that it takes place before our country is lost to the idiots in power. Even still , if this happens , it won't be pretty in any neighborhood.

THe author tries to make the Tea Party tent sound much larger than it is. We all know the TP is simply the ultra conservative wing of the Rep. party.

There will be no revolution in America. Our citizenry is too brain washed and our police state is too powerful. Our friends and neighbors who are members of the police at all levels and the military at all levels will turn upon the American citizens when ordered to do so. Most likely UN police and military will be brought in (and our police and military will allow it to happen) to act against us to squelch any disturbances well before they converge on revolution.

We live in a police state. That is a fact. Our police and military are paid and will look out for their own best interests (and their families) before they ever turn on their Masters to defend or help the regular American citizen. The police already feel quite superior to us and they have been conditioned to think that way.

There is no hope. Simply learn the truth about the vaccines, food supply, and how money is created so you can prepare yourself and family as best you can. Our standard of living is being systematically altered to increase the standard of living for other people around the globe. The working class will become much more poor than we are traditionally accustomed. The middle class is becoming an illusion.

You guys spouting revolution make me want to gag. It's so ridiculous how the same people who spout on about freedom are the main ones who want to stamp it out when a group arises that does not agree with them.

Although the words "revolution" or "revolt" might simply be metaphors for change. I distinctly feel the bloggers here are enamored of an armed insurrection. Why?? The leaders with whom you disagree were duly elected. Every two years we have another election. Isn't it easier to just go vote? The historic rebellions you romanticize occured because the aggrieved parties had no other option. They fought and died for your right to VOTE.

it's no revolt it's just candidates so stupid they appeal to the Wal-Mart Americans that elected GWB twice
