His 2005 novel “State of Fear” is actually an expose of the global-warming hoax and several characters resembling Strong, Joel Rogers, Al Gore, Richard Sandor and Barack Obama play major roles in the novel.</font></span></span></strong></p><p style="line-height:200%;" class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="line-height:200%;font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:12pt;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_Fear"><span style="color:#008000;"><span style="background-color:#FFFF00;"><font face="">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_Fear</font></span></span></a></span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:Georgia, serif;color:#00b050;font-size:12pt;"><a href="http://www.libertyjuice.com/2010/05/06/crime-inc/"><span style="color:#008000;"><span style="background-color:#FFFF00;"><font face="">http://www.libertyjuice.com/2010/05/06/crime-inc/</font></span></span></a></span></strong></p><p style="line-height:200%;" class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="line-height:200%;font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:12pt;"><a href="http://mediamatters.org/print/blog/201005130001"><span style="color:#008000;"><span style="background-color:#FFFF00;"><font face="">http://mediamatters.org/print/blog/201005130001</font></span></span></a></span></strong></p><p style="line-height:200%;" class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="line-height:200%;font-family:Georgia, serif;color:#0000FF;font-size:12pt;"><span style="background-color:#FFFF00;"><font face="">#2</font></span></span></strong></p><p style="line-height:200%;text-indent:.5in;" class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="line-height:200%;font-family:Georgia, serif;color:#0000FF;font-size:12pt;"><span style="background-color:#FFFF00;"><font face="">Joel Rogers, the mastermind of the nuts and bolts (Creator of the Apollo Alliance and “the New Green Deal”) behind the whole conspiracy and the CCX rip-off has admitted that even if we brought the entire American economy to the level of 1900, the effect on global temperatures would be minimal (0.2 degrees) by 2100 and their stated aim of bringing the world’s carbon emissions back to 1980 level is impossible but that the whole thing is actually a power grab.</font></span></span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:Georgia, serif;color:#00b050;font-size:12pt;"><a href="http://www.fusionfx.net/index.php/2010/04/30/crime-inc-joel-rogers-the-new-green-deal/"><span style="color:#008000;"><span style="background-color:#FFFF00;"><font face="">http://www.fusionfx.net/index.php/2010/04/30/crime-inc-joel-rogers-the-new-green-deal/</font></span></span></a></span></strong></p><p style="line-height:200%;" class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="line-height:200%;font-family:Georgia, serif;color:#0000FF;font-size:12pt;"><span style="background-color:#FFFF00;"><font face="">And now the top #1 Reason to Reject Obama’s Cap and Trade bill:</font></span></span></strong></p><p style="line-height:200%;" class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="line-height:200%;font-family:Georgia, serif;color:#0000FF;font-size:12pt;"><span style="background-color:#FFFF00;"><font face="">#1</font></span></span></strong></p><p style="line-height:200%;" class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="line-height:200%;font-family:Georgia, serif;color:#0000FF;font-size:12pt;"><span style="background-color:#FFFF00;"><font face="">Obama has threatened to create five million green-tech jobs.

What should be done?</font></span></span></span></strong></p><p style="line-height:150%;text-indent:.5in;" class="MsoNormal" align="left"></p><p style="line-height:150%;text-indent:.5in;" class="MsoNormal" align="left"><strong><span style="line-height:150%;font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:10pt;"><span style="background-color:#FFFF00;"><span style="color:#0000ff;"><font face="">To succeed at anything it helps to know who you are, exactly who you are and who you are NOT. <span style="color:#008000;">The TEA Party movement, at its heart, gives conservative people an outlet, more importantly, it gives them hope that their voices can be heard.</span> Right now that is a very huge role to play; and it is right now the best that they or you and I can expect; and most importantly IF they truly play that role properly, the TEA Party can make a huge difference in America and can accomplish many of the things that conservative people in their hearts most pray for.</font></span></span></span></strong></p><p style="line-height:150%;text-indent:.5in;" class="MsoNormal" align="left"></p><p style="line-height:150%;text-indent:.5in;" class="MsoNormal" align="left"><strong><span style="line-height:150%;font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:10pt;"><span style="background-color:#FFFF00;"><span style="color:#0000ff;"><font face="">To succeed at anything, it also is very important to know just exactly what you’re up against and who are your friends and who are your enemies. <span style="color:#800000;">That the present progressive-dominated Democratic Party is the enemy of the TEA Party seems fairly obvious.</span> Many folks believe that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Many folks believe the Republican Party is the TEA Party’s friend. Let’s think a little on that. The Republican Party as it was created in 1854 in Ripon, Wisconsin would be precisely the TEA Party’s very best friend. Today the Republican Party of 1854, 1856, 1858 and 1860 would be called “Libertarians,” which means fiscal-conservatives, constitutional conservatives and live-and-let-live liberals so long as you don’t “tread on me.” That was a party that stood for something. That was the Republican Party that freed the slaves. That was the Republican Party that eventually replaced the once proud Whig Party which by 1852 had become an effete party trying to please everyone at once that commanded about 26% of the national vote. Those Whigs were, however, someone we need to understand right now.</font></span></span></span></strong></p><p style="line-height:150%;text-indent:.5in;" class="MsoNormal" align="left"></p><p style="line-height:150%;text-indent:.5in;" class="MsoNormal" align="left"><strong><span style="line-height:150%;font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:10pt;"><span style="background-color:#FFFF00;"><span style="color:#0000ff;"><font face="">The American Whig Party itself arose when the original Republican Party lost its vigor and vision and somebody was needed to oppose the takeover by the executive branch and denigration of the Congress by Andrew Jackson (they called him “King Andrew," the Whigs did) and the Democratic Party. According to Wikipedia: "Whig" was then a widely recognized label of choice for people who saw themselves as opposing autocratic rule. The Whig Party counted among its members such national political luminaries as Daniel Webster, William Henry Harrison, and their pre-eminent leader, Henry Clay of Kentucky. In addition to Harrison, the Whig Party also counted several prominent war heroes and national figures among its ranks, including Generals Zachary Taylor and Winfield Scott and former Lt. Colonel, western explorer and demi-whig California Senator John C. Fremont (the Republicans’ first presidential candidate). Abraham Lincoln was a Whig leader in then frontier Illinois. Except for a few spotty victories here and there, the Republicans who eventually replaced the Whigs were not at all successful until six years later and helped ensure virtually complete control of the country by the Democrats in 1854, 1856 and 1858 which proved to be some of the most volatile and violent years ever and led directly to the Civil War.</font></span></span></span></strong></p><p style="line-height:150%;text-indent:.5in;" class="MsoNormal" align="left"></p><p style="line-height:150%;text-indent:.5in;" class="MsoNormal" align="left"><strong><span style="line-height:150%;font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:10pt;"><span style="background-color:#FFFF00;"><span style="color:#0000ff;"><font face=""><span style="color:#800000;"><strong><span style="line-height:150%;font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:10pt;"><span style="background-color:#FFFF00;">So the question remains, is the Republican Party the friend of the TEA Party? And the answer is . . . mostly NOT. Or most properly, NO, NOT yet!</span></span></strong></span> <span style="color:#008000;">If the Republican Party had stuck to its core-philosophies of fiscal-conservativism and constitutional-conservativism over the last twenty years (twelve years under Republican presidents Bush I and Bush II) the nation would NOT now be in the shape it’s in. In fact, by possibly hijacking TEA Party votes en masse without later adhering to TEA Party desires for real meaningful conservativism in 2010 and future years . . . the Republican Party could prove to be as huge an enemy as the progressive Democrats. Right now, as I write this, there are probably eighty to a hundred rather cynical Republican politicos out there, looking at the TEA Party as a “nifty little parade” and planning exactly how they can jump in at the front and lead it.</span></font></span></span></span></strong></p><p style="line-height:150%;text-indent:.5in;" class="MsoNormal" align="left"></p><p style="line-height:150%;text-indent:.5in;" class="MsoNormal" align="left"><strong><span style="line-height:150%;font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:10pt;"><span style="background-color:#FFFF00;"><span style="color:#0000ff;"><font face="">All that being true, Rajjpuut believes <span style="color:#800000;">it’s fair to say that the Republican Party has lost legitimacy among fiscal- and constitutional-conservatives.</span> Once burned, twice cautious. <span style="color:#008000;">The TEA Party would do best to stay independent of the Republican Party and yet NOT stand in direct opposition to it, the Republicans are, after all, the only ones opposing the Obamanations now going in Congress.

Many of those unaffiliated voters are sympathetic to what the TEA Party movement stands for; many of them call themselves Independents . . . and as we’ve seen the make-up of the TEA Party is roughly 50% conservative Republicans, 30% conservative Independents and 20% conservative Democrats and virtually all of them are completely fed up and <span style="color:#800000;">before the TEA Party came along, they were feeling pretty damn powerLESS</span>. But it’s easy to see that if the TEA Party holds the politicians of both parties’ feet to the fire . . . they and “unaffiliated” groups actually control the political process because neither major party holds anywhere near a majority of the voting public's allegiance. It’s just a matter of proper leadership and wisely plotting the course of the groups’ activism and quite frankly, it doesn’t appear to Rajjpuut to be a necessarily expensive process.
