Now those are some strong words and you should rightly expect me to explain what I mean by them.
First, I want to establish the fact that the Government of the United States of America exists by the authority of the United States Constitution. Further, the United States Constitution also provides the process of our Government.
Second, I want to establish the fact that a law (any law), once passed by our governmental process, is the law of our land until it is modified or revoked through the very process of our Government that is established by our United States Constitution. Continuing with that premise, our United States Constitution offers no provision by which our Government might shirk or otherwise disavow any obligation which has been properly established under the United States Constitution.
Third, I want to establish that in exactly the same way I am focusing on the Tea Party behavior today, so we could single out any other
rigid ideology past, present, or future and make the same argument.
Therefore, with these three tenets as the underpinning for my argument I arrive at the conclusion that to defund The Affordable Health Care Act (Obamacare) as a means of avoiding a lawful obligation of the United States of America is not in accordance with the United States Constitution and is Un-American.
I beg my readers not to conclude that I somehow view the persons who make up the Tea Party as Un-American, but only that I see their chosen process of defunding a lawful obligation of the United States of America as an Un-American process. The voters have made a grave mistake by electing Republicans and Democrats when they should have elected Americans to represent their interests in the Government of our United States of America.

David Brooks praised the Democratic Party for its “basic concern for the vulnerable,” and noted that it “protected the unemployed starting with the New Deal, then the old, then the poor.
If I am being considered in the same conversation with David Brooks, I am in awe inspiring company and must be doing something right.
A shift in the operational approach used by the Tea Party has also affected the movement’s visibility, with chapters placing more emphasis on the mechanics of policy and getting candidates elected rather than staging public events.
I’m not sure how this is related to my post.
