The Tea Party's Paul Revere sounds the alarm -- and the news is alarming

Did you hear the one about the Left's plan to counter the tea-party movement?

It's no joke.

"In an effort to replicate the tea party's success, 170 liberal and civil-rights
groups are forming a coalition that they hope will match the movement's
political energy and influence," explained a Washington Post report. "They
promise to 'counter the tea-party narrative' and help the progressive movement
find its voice again after 18 months of floundering."

The effort is curiously dubbed "One Nation." Historically, of course, when that
two-word phrase has been used in America, it is usually followed by another
two-word phrase "under God." But with groups such as La Raza, the NAACP, the
AFL-CIO and the SEIU joining the party, it is unlikely the deity will be invoked
by any within this coalition.

You might ask: What's their beef?

They've got Barack Obama in the White House. They have Nancy Pelosi as speaker
of the House. They have Harry Reid as Senate majority leader. They seem to have
Elena Kagan on her way to the Supreme Court.

The answer, of course, is they see it all slipping away beginning this November.
The tide has turned against their causes. Something very predictable happened on
the way to their workers' paradise an awakening in the American spirit that is
saying: We will slouch toward Gomorrah no longer!

That spirit is illustrated by the tea-party movement the biggest and most potent
grass-roots political development in generations. People who never before
marched on Washington, carried a protest sign or rallied at a town-hall meeting
have done just that by the millions. They have no familiar household names among
their leaders. They have no billionaires bankrolling them. They represent no
special interests. They get no friendly coverage from the press. They demand
nothing for themselves from government except their freedom and to be molested
no longer. And this is what has the super-organized, well-funded,
government-subsidized, media-backed Left in a tizzy.

Understandably so.

As I write in my new book, "The Tea Party Manifesto," this movement represents
what might well be America's last chance for a return to liberty and
self-government. If it fails, so does the uniquely American dream of
constitutionally limited federal power, the protection of God-breathed
inalienable rights, equal justice, the rule of law, the will of the people and
national sovereignty.

So, you might ask, what does this new opposition movement demand? What will be
the rallying cry of its planned march on Washington Oct. 2?

More government spending on job creation.

Yes, that makes sense. That plan is working so well. It has worked to perfection
with the biggest stimulus spending programs in the history of the world.
Obviously all we need to do is more of the same!

Of course, no rational human being involved in this movement actually believes
that more government spending is going to solve the problem of unemployment. The
smarter and more devious elements of this movement know that more spending will
only make joblessness even worse. However, they also understand that it will
create more unsustainable dependency on government, which will inevitably lead
to chaos and the collapse of the nation and ideals they detest.

With Washington already facing insurmountable, inter-generational debt, what
else could be on the minds of those within this movement who have any rational
understanding of economics? They want to push America off the cliff.

Is there any other explanation?

They don't want jobs. They want to complete the revolution. And they want to
complete it, if at all possible, before the new Congress sweeps in following the
tea-party electoral victory Nov. 2.

This rogue, reckless movement of fundamentally anti-American ambitions bears
careful watching.
