Lori White: Indivisible movement unlike tea party – Lake Geneva Regional News

The Tea Party was a political phenomenon that the progressives tried to demonize, by calling it racist and violent. Ironically, the progressives have openly duplicated the Tea Party efforts with their own movement called, Indivisible. I see major differences between the Indivisible efforts and the Tea Party movement. Now we are experiencing violence coming from the progressive Indivisible movement. Their theme resist, has taken its toll on our country.

The main difference is the progressives want to pick and choose which constitutional amendments to follow. They are all for the First Amendment and freedom of speech, by disrupting congressmen town halls. But they do not like the part about religious liberty.

They like to smear it with the phrase, separation of church and state. Very few progressives understand where that even came from. If they bothered to read our Constitution and Declaration of Independence they would notice, its not in there. So where did that come from? It is from a letter that Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1802. He was writing an explanation to the Danbury Baptist Association why he did not declare days of Thanksgiving and prayer, even though George Washington and John Adams did. If you understand the Establishment Clause, it was not written to separate all religious things from public life but to rather ensure that our nation would never have an official church and no one could ever be forced to practice any religion.

Our Second Amendment is another pick and chose amendment by the progressives. Progressives are all for amending our Constitution and ridding it of our Second Amendment. Rand Paul was quoted as tweeting this, Why do we have a Second Amendment? Its not to shoot deer. Its to shoot at the government when it becomes tyrannical!

This is no excuse to shoot at our Republican congressmen. Our government is far from becoming tyrannical. We are not being dragged off and killed by our government. It is our Second Amendment that saved more from being shot on that baseball field. If our congressmen were able to carry guns in our nations capital, the gunman would have been stopped sooner. Again, gun free zones are not safe. They are nothing but places that make us targets by people that want to harm us. Our Second Amendment is there for a reason, and this is a solid reason to protect yourself against people with guns that are intending to kill you.

Another major difference, the Tea Party movement was about three things, fiscal responsibility, civic responsibility, (which meant teaching and understanding our constitution), and personal responsibility. The Indivisible effort is about misrepresenting our Constitution, our values and giving our federal government more control over our lives. They are using an old method of playing on peoples emotions. Pitting groups of people against one another, the rich against the poor, black against white, gay against straight, feminists who hate men etc, etc.

Why the Tea Party was effective, they didnt allow any violence or awful, distasteful signs at their rallies. The agenda was to educate people on our civic and personal responsibility and our constitution. They had a genuine purpose.

The Indivisible group promotes progressive ideals that go against the grain of our country and its founding. They are running on emotions and their emotions are getting the best of them which is not good.If only the Indivisible people took an interest in the Tea Party movement, when it was happening and learned about civic responsibility and our constitution 10 years ago when the Tea Party movement started, I believe our country would be in a much better place. I will leave it at this quote from President Calvin Coolidge: The American revolution represented the informed and mature convictions of a great mass of independent, liberty-loving, god-fearing people who knew their rights, and possessed the courage to dare maintain them.

Tea Party: The push for an Article V Convention of States – Historic City News

HomeCommunityTea Party: The push for an Article V Convention of States

June 25, 2017 Community

Historic City News readers are patriotically invited to attend the General Meeting of the St Augustine Tea Party held Tuesday evening, June 27th at the Village Inn located at 900 North Ponce de Leon Boulevard in Saint Augustine, beginning at 6:30 p.m., when the special guest will be Armondo Escalante, the Northeast Florida Director for Bear Witness Central.

On Tuesday, Mr. Escalante will be exposing what he calls the real agenda behind the push for an Article V Convention of States movement (Con-Con).

The Convention of States movement is a deception and a very dangerous movement, Escalante says. It will be the destruction of the U.S. Constitution if it is allowed to succeed. It is imperative for all Americans to understand it fully.

Bear Witness Central is a communication and action group composed of Americans who have experienced Socialism or Communism intervention during their lifetime. Escalante is an active speaker on Cultural Marxism, bringing awareness of subversive ideologies and the impact they have on American Culture.

Over the last few years he has been advocating our Nations founding; speaking and teaching on the evils of Socialism, Communism, Globalization, Sustainable Development and Subversion.

Join us for a very powerful discussion, Chairman Lance Thate told Historic City News. Please arrive early, as seating is limited. No admission charge, meeting is open to the public.

Butte’s Clark Chateau Mansion tea party helps the needy – NBC Montana

BUTTE, Mont. - Butte's Historical Clark Chateau Mansion will be hosting its annual fundraising tea party this Saturday.

The event is called "Drink of the Wise: A Midsummer Night's Tea Party."

A portion of funds raised will go to the Caring Aid Fund of the St Patrick and Immaculate Conception Parishes, a program funded by donations to help the needy in the community.

The evening's entertainment includes presentations about kintsugi and wabi-sabi, two Japanese art forms. They will be presented by the Chateau's interns.

Another group will present a talk on the connection between tea and feminism.

Callison Stratton, the program manager of the Chateau, says the event is reflective of Butte's historical and current diversity.

She says the event is all about bringing community members together.

"Preserving places like the Chateau here in Butte are so important to keeping the cultural heritage of this town going and giving people a sense of ownership of their history and a sense of community," Stratton said.

She estimates 125 guests will show up on Saturday. Tickets are $40 and are almost sold out. Any remaining tickets will be available at the front door of the Chateau Mansion at 321 W. Broadway St.

The event starts at 6 p.m., and doors will open at 5:30 p.m.

Clark Chateau’s ‘tea party’ fundraiser unlike all others – Montana Standard

Carson Becker wasnt interested in the usual kind of tea party.

The Clark Chateau, which Becker has managed since 2015 with Callison Stratton, has seen its share of tea parties in its day, she said but she wanted to think bigger for the chateaus annual fundraiser, beginning at 6 p.m. Saturday, June 24.

Instead of petit-fours and clotted cream, the historic mansion will play host to Drink of the Wise: A Midsummer Nights Tea Party, a tour across continents and centuries to uncover the cultural history of tea and its culinary possibilities.

Proceeds will benefit chateau programs and the Caring Aid Fund, which helps feed the hungry in Butte.

The evenings entertainment will include presentations about kintsugi the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with decorative lacquer and wabi-sabi, a Japanese aesthetic philosophy that embraces imperfection as a form of beauty. The chateaus teen interns will give those presentations.

Another group will present a talk on the connection between tea and feminism.

Tea houses were one of the only places where unchaperoned women could go and be safe and hang out and talk to each other, Becker said.

In a brief history of tea she wrote for Butte Arts Monthly, Becker described the gradual adoption of tea into the cultural norm in Europe as well as its tie to the suffragette movement in England, which appeared to fulfill early fears that drinking tea was tantamount to shirking household duties and becoming politically active.

The musical group Alas Harum, which plays the Balinese instrument gamelan, will come from Missoula to perform. (They are part of the larger ensemble Missoula Community Gamelan, Manik Harum.) The group includes Megan McNamer, the first participant in the Mining City Writing Project collaboration between the Chateau and The Montana Standard.

The groups director, Dorothy Morrison, said she is looking forward to meeting Saturdays audience.

It seems like the people of Butte have a very open mind to the things that arent mainstream, she said. And this is a music that isn't mainstream at all.

Manik Harums teacher, Made Lasmawan, will be in Butte later this summer with his group, the Balinese All Stars, for the Montana Folk Festival.

Lake Missoula Tea Company is providing tea for the fundraiser Saturday. Chef Daniel Hogan designed the accompanying menu, which will feature dishes to match regional teas from almost every continent, like flatbread with rose jam and pine nuts to match Lapsang Souchong from China. Tea-infused cocktails will be provided by Headframe Spirits.

Tickets are nearly sold out, according to Becker, but some may be available at the door of the Clark Chateau on Saturday.
