Trickle Up Poverty by Michael Savage Read Free Book Online Page A

formerly great newspaper went on the attack, seizing on a completely unrelated story to malign the movement.
    The headline says it all: “The First Tea-Party Terrorist?”
    The writer of this trash journalism—whose name doesn’t matter— attempted to link a lone lunatic, Joseph Stack, with the Tea Party for obvious reasons. I’m not surprised. The Old York Times is nothing more than a government organ of the House of Obama. On February 18, 2010, Stack flew his small airplane into an IRS office building in Austin, Texas, and left behind a rambling screed about this and that.
    However, there was not one word in his missive about the Tea Party!
    This reality didn’t prevent this yellow journalist from yapping, “Given the apparent momentum of the Tea Party movement, it would be nice to know if Slack’s kamikaze mission was a not-all-that-shocking emanation from it—whether, as some claim, more than a few Tea Partiers are unhinged.” There’s absolutely no basis for such a connection in the facts. None.
    Yet the writer goes on to say, “a person with Stack’s fuzzy ideology wouldn’t feel terribly alone at a big Tea Party.”34 Which sounds strikingly similar to what an apparatchik of the editorial board for the Washington Com Post wrote, “I am struck by how his alienation is similar to that we’re hearing from the extreme elements of the Tea Party movement.”35
    Even before the Old York Times and the Washington ComPost ran their groundless hit pieces, I had predicted this would happen. I warned my radio audience in The Savage Nation to expect such wild-eyed attacks. That warning still stands. The stronger the Tea Party becomes, the more the old left-wing guard and the government media complex will do to shut it down, even using lies, half truths, wild allegations, and character assassination to paint the movement as little more than an extension of the John Birch Society.36 They’ll do whatever it takes to reduce the Tea Party to dried, spent leaves.
    My Cup of Tea
    We’ve seen what the counterfeit Tea Party plan has to offer. Now take a close look at the real deal by a real Tea Party organizer and patriot, Dale Robertson. I want you to see what he’s calling for and how different it is from the fake proposal we’ve already examined. You’ll see it just so happens to emphasize the same things I’ve been talking about for sixteen years on radio: borders, language, and culture.
    Dale begins outlining what he calls “the non-negotiable core beliefs” of the Tea Party movement by asking, “What shall we do next? Turn a blind eye to the 20 million or more illegal aliens who demand citizenship because they believe they have earned it by nefariously entering our beloved nation and who continue to break the law by staying here? The Republican elite say ‘Yes to amnesty!’ But I believe the Tea Party will not reward law breakers, especially with our most sacred commodity—Citizenship in our beloved nation.”
    It’s clear Dale understands the Tea Party isn’t a picnic. It’s a showdown.
    There’s more. Dale asks the movement to do more soul-searching as they prepare to codify their core ideals. He asks: “Has the Tea Party forgotten the tax hikes poised and ready to crush the American people? How can we fail to remember the unrelenting line of gun grabbing legislation continually snaking its way through Congress? Yet, where is the outrage? … I say NO and HELL NO! We are non-negotiable in our stand against dumbed-down politics spun by deadhead Republican political hacks dreaming of emasculating the greatest thing going since 1773.”37
    Even before getting to his list of core beliefs, you can see the passion brewing behind this patriot. Here, then are his list of fifteen core beliefs:
    Illegal Aliens are illegal.
    Pro-Domestic Employment is indispensable.
    Stronger Military is essential.
    Gun ownership is sacred.
    Government must be downsized.
    National Budget must be balanced.
    Deficit Spending will
