Viewpoints: Liberal elites still don’t get the tea party

In the darkest moments of a national tragedy like we witnessed in Arizona last weekend, there are always some American heroes to make us proud. Unfortunately, there are also plenty of scoundrels who operate from the darkest corners of the American experience. The villains include the liberal pundits and media elites who falsely tried to paint blame on conservatives and tea party activists for the carnage of an obvious madman.

The liberal sheriff in Tucson, Clarence Dupnik, a sorry excuse for a law enforcement officer, was on the air blaming talk radio and “the hard right” for the shootings, ignoring his own failure for not apprehending the gunman when he was displaying irrational and threatening behavior in the past.
TV host Chris Matthews joined in, naming conservative radio hosts Mark Levin and Michael Savage as having encouraged violence with their “ugly talk.” No one mentioned then-Sen. Barack Obama’s famous statement, “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun” or that the liberal Daily Kos had put a bull’s-eye on Congresswoman Giffords because they felt she was too conservative.
With absolutely zero evidence, liberal journalists and bloggers tried to use this violent act as an opportunity to defame and attempt to silence the millions of Americans who are part of the tea party. When it appeared the deranged gunman was more likely a leftist anarchist, the attacks changed to blaming conservative rhetoric for fueling murderous rampages. How ridiculous.
In fact, The Bee has gone as far as to accuse the tea party of exploiting the tragedy in Arizona because we chose to defend ourselves against scurrilous charges (“Tea party joins fray in exploiting Tucson shooting”; editorial, Jan. 12). The media think they can attack us and then dictate whether we are allowed to defend our members.
The Bee, like countless other liberal outlets, also keeps repeating the same old slander against the tea party movement by claiming that it is full of nutty people and excessive rhetoric. They cite isolated incidents of individuals carrying a legal firearm out of several million people who attended our rallies.

As more people have joined the tea party, the left continues to falsely accuse these patriotic Americans of being AstroTurf, crackpots, racists and nuts. The left has determined that when their smear tactics don’t work, just try another smear. That is certainly in clear evidence by the disgusting display of invective leveled against tea party conservatives this week.
Liberals everywhere know that the ideas of the tea party are resonating with the American public and we are winning elections, and that scares them.

Heres some more thought to go with the way to use a Home Mortgage to Recover the Economic System in America .
Why Can’t a Home Buyer have their Payment on their Home be considered a Contribution to their IRA or 401K retirement account ? Then in their retirement years they do a Reverse Mortgage and can access the money for their retirement and Medicare needs ?
To build on this concept further , why not have the vehicle set up so that all dollars contributed by the home owner be a true value accumulated into the home that is always a constant value regardless of real estate value fluctuations in market value , then this way the base value of real estate would be always with a basic value so a economic collapse cannot happen as mood and risk in the mind of the Investors ebb and flow through the climates of economic trends .
Also to help recapitalize the real estate market with a Base Value , and in conjunction with the New Banking requirements of 1/3 rd down qualifications for new home loans , we need to reset a base value under every home loan in America with a 1/3 rd value in the real-estate loan based off the current value of the Mortgage debt , and this will revalue the real estate market and Under Pin the Muni Bond market with some stability as well .
This would put a floor of value under pinning the overall markets and stabilize or at least have a better stabilizing effect on markets so Government bailouts are not as apt to be needed like we have seen in this current economic bubble . This would also allow for some better stability in the fixed asset classes as Interests rates would be effected by this as well .
