Southern Tier TEA Party Patriots met March 28 at the Lakewood American legion. Reports were given on the potential BPU annexation and other local issues.

Along with 300 others, Roy Harvey and Karen Engstrom-Harvey attended a conference on climate by the Heartland Institute in Washington, D.C. Those who deny climate warming are called scientific deplorables. Under a politicized Obama, the EPA shut down much industrial production with Loretta Lynch calling for an investigation of climate deniers. Trump reduced the EPA by 30 percent and put coal back in business. Windmills, they said, are a negative for Chautauqua County: not enough wind to make them profitable, farmers lose agricultural discount, and land values go down. Seventy-five percent of wind energy is subsidized by taxpayers.

There is one addiction that may be more difficult than any other to escapethe addiction to getting something for nothing, wrote Dennis Prager. He referred to able-bodied people who get cash payments, food stamps, subsidized housing, free or subsidized health insurance, and other welfare benefits. Once people received entitlements, politicians know it is nearly impossible to ever reduce them. The Left also is aware of this so constantly seeks to increase entitlements. The more people receiving government benefits, the more people vote left, said Prager. The Democrat Party should be regarded as a drug dealer. It is my right to have this is the theme of those receiving entitlements, making it a moral component for the entitlement addict.

The entitlement state fails in every country. Tens of millions of immigrants are brought in to keep the entitlement state alive, said Prager. This addiction ultimately ruins the character of many of its recipients, the economy of all the countries in which it exists in large numbers, and the value system that created the prosperity that made so many entitlements possible in the first place.

Members discussed A Contrast of Views: TEA Party Conservatism vs. Liberal Progressivism. Key areas were contrasted. For Conservatives, individual freedom, equal opportunity to pursue goals, liberty, rule of law and God-given rights in the U.S. Constitution are fundamental. Contrasted with living constitution, security from big government and focus on a New World Order leading to socialism for Progressives. Conservatives want free market healthcare, insurance across state lines, focus on doctor-patient relationship and fetus regarded as living person. In contrast, Progressives want nationalized single payer healthcare leading to bureaucratic control of doctor-patient relationship and legal right to abortion.
