APPLE VALLEY TEA PARTY
THE PATRIOT’S JOURNAL
PATRIOTS PROMOTING FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY, CONSTITUTIONALLY LIMITED
GOVERNMENT, AND FREE MARKET SOLUTIONS
MISSION STATEMENT
The modern Tea Party
movement is fueled by excessive
Government spending, and the
complete disregard for the US
Constitution by our elected
representatives. The growing
government intrusion into our
personal and business lives has
put our free market economy and
individual liberties at great risk.
Our goal is to attract and
organize prospective voters, and
to educate them about the
dangers facing our country. In
this manner we will peacefully
hold our representatives
accountable by supporting them,
or using our individual rights at
the ballot box to replace them.

May 6 meeting to kick off the Apple Valley Tea Party
------------------------------------------------------------
Classical liberalism, the political ideology of America’s founders, committed
to the rule of law vs rule of men, limited government and individual liberty,
including freedom of religion, speech, press, assembly, and free markets,
stressing human rationality, self-interest, individual property rights, natural
rights, civil liberties, constitutional government, and individual freedom
from restraint. It fostered individual absolute rights to life, liberty, and
pursuit of happiness*. The right to property is not absolute; it is derived
from absolute rights. Classical liberalism is not the ideology of "liberalism.”
Classical Liberalism is the foundation of modern “Conservatism.”
*Pursuit of Happiness: Originally meant the pursuit of one’s divinely ordained
“chance” in life, according to Ben Franklin, implying the virtuous pursuit of self-
interest, striving for excellence, tempered by moderation, personal responsibility,
and civic duty. It is the foundation of individual liberty.

Conservatism calls for lower taxes, limited government, free enterprise, a

strong national defense, individual financial responsibility for personal
needs, and family values. There are different versions of conservatism:
 NeoConservatives believe in cutting tax rates to stimulate the economy,
enforcing morality to create a more civil society, and aggressive nation-
building and the exportation of democracy as a fundamental foreign
policy.
 PaleoConservatives believe that there exists an enduring moral order,
built on custom, convention, and continuity, guided by the principle of
prudence and chastened by the principle of imperfectability. Thus there
is the need for prudent restraints upon power and human passions, and
a need to reconcile permanence and change for a vigorous society.
 Social Conservatives are staunchly pro-life and anti-abortion,
advocating for pro-family legislation and a ban on gay marriage, as well
as ending federal funding for embryonic stem-cell research. They want
to protect Second Amendment right to bear arms, maintain a strong
national defense, protect US economic interests against foreign threats,
and eliminate the need for trade unions. They oppose illegal
immigration and favor limiting welfare by creating economic
opportunities for the needy. They want the ban on school prayer lifted
and high tariffs imposed on countries that do not uphold human rights.

“We shall consider ourselves unauthorized to saddle posterity with our debts, and morally bound to pay
them ourselves; and consequently within what may be deemed the period of a generation.”
Thomas Jefferson

“In the name of the best within you, do not sacrifice this world to those who are its worst. In the name of the values that keep you
alive, do not let your vision of man be distorted by the ugly, the cowardly, the mindless in those who have never achieved his title.
Do not lose your knowledge that man’s proper estate is an upright posture, an intransigent mind and a step that travels unlimited
roads. Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-
yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to
reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it’s
yours.” – JOHN GALT

WHO ARE YOU?

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2

 Fiscal Conservatives believe in supply-

side economics or Reaganomics,
cutting income taxes, deregulating the
economy, reining in spending and
reducing the size of government.
Modern fiscal conservatives remain
wary of government spending and are
often more Libertarian than
Republican. They advocate lowering
the federal budget, passing a balanced
budget amendment, paying off the
national debt and withdrawing military
forces from overseas in an effort to
curtail military spending.
 Crunchy Conservatives are “gun-loving
organic gardeners, evangelical free-
range farmers, hip homeschooling
mamas, right wing nature lovers, and a
diverse tribe of countercultural
conservatives." Crunchy conservatives
support fiscal conservatism and social
conservatism, but are decidedly un-
materialistic and family-oriented. They
raise their children away from
television, often homeschooling them.
Libertarianism advocates the
maximization of individual liberty in
thought and action and the minimization
(monarchist) or even abolition of the
state (anarchist). The only legitimate
purpose of a government is to protect
the rights of its citizens.

military service. He supports strong national defense against violent
Islamist extremists and Iran’s nuclear threat, drill here – drill now and
increasing nuclear energy, repealing ObamaCare and pursuing private-
sector health care solutions, reducing the debt and balancing the budget,
and encouraging competition in public education.

Keith Fimian needs our support to beat 1st term Gerry Connolly in the
11th district. Keith is a successful entrepreneur and experienced
businessman in the property inspection business. It appears he would
support the repeal of ObamaCare to replace it with increased
competition. He supports traditional family values, tax cuts to business to
spur job growth, and Reagan’s position on peace through strength. He
would freeze Federal spending, ban Earmarks and audit the Fed.

Modern or Welfare Liberalism of Franklin D. Roosevelt favors governmental paternalism and seeks interventionist role for the
state. Liberals grant citizens “human rights” guarantees. They believe the ends justify the means, and so do not scrutinize the ethics
and practicality of social engineering. They favor social obligations over natural rights, believing the Haves are obliged to serve
the Have Nots. They are strong proponents of state education, as a means of propaganda that shapes public opinion.

Progressivism of Woodrow Wilson, advocates fundamentally changing or reforming the Federal government into a National
government with a general Legislature, thus ending States Rights. It advocates government intrusion into all areas of citizen life and
welfare, including engineering the general economy. It is opposed to Classic Liberalism and Conservatism. It began in the late 19 th
Century to redistribute power and wealth from capitalist to the ruling elites of unionized labor. It is a moralistic system of relative values
that seeks to ensure equal welfare of all people, believing in the equality of results, not opportunity. It advocates for “human rights”
from government, not Natural Rights from God. Like Liberalism, it uses public education for propaganda to change public opinion.
