The tea party needs an official party. No more Tea Party Express or Tea Party Patriots or the dozens of other groups that are far too ineffective and can easily be swept by the GOP and Dems.

Candidates need an actual structure they can attach themselves to and be supported by, and there has to be a filter so not just any nut (or plant) can run and call themselves the “tea party candidate”. And how can you expect/depend on a GOPer to be loyal to what is trying to hard to not exist in an official form? Why should they risk themselves for an amorphic blob movement that can appear strong one day and then vanish a week later?

If England seals its borders, gets the hell out of the EU and starts standing up for its culture and values instead of kowtowing to its hoardes of Muslim invaders it just might have a future, and the United States might have at least one ally to help stand against the coming Islamic Republic of Europe.

It’s a long-shot, but this election gives me some hope.

What we tea party needs to do is to start not a third party but take over a third party. We need to gather and work out how we want the party to be run (do we want to be a small government party or a big government party. I want smaller, especially eliminating the departments of education, health and transportation and I don’t care about people’s lifestyle. That’s what liberals care about). We need to get people from the private sector (business owners, farmers, teachers and even stay at home moms - not lawyers!!) to run.

A hung Parliament seems unlikely. Newly reported exit polling indicates that David Cameron is clearly preferred by voters as Prime Minister, with the Tories apparently getting credit for the recent growth of Britain's economy.

Cameron is therefore brushing aside suggestions that the Tories align their MP candidate selection with UKIP. The Tories plainly calculate the odds as being that the next Commons general election will result in them securing an outright governing majority, or at least the largest party and able to dominate any ensuing coalition government.

There is much to dislike in Cameron's elitism, support for uncontrolled immigration, and betrayal of traditional conservative values. Yet that does not mean that a deserved comeuppance from the voters is imminent. Although UKIP has made stunning gains as a protest party, it has not yet developed into a potential governing party -- a transition that is harder to make than is commonly realized.

It would also seem fairly logical that some people, who would not want to vote for a party (primarily focused on international questions) to fill a local council seat, mighty very well vote for that party to represent them at the EU level. Let us, at least hope that such considerations might further boost the showing by British patriots.

For myself, I shall pray, this Memorial Day weekend, not only for those still willing to stand for traditional America, but for all people in the civilized world, who are willing to stand up to preserve the traditional achievements of their respective nations--certainly including their traditional cultures.

It is the great fallacy of the crack-pot internationalists, that the only way to World Peace is by destroying the ethnic achievements of the earth's peoples. Nations proud of their ancestral achievements are far more likely to see the sense of dealing with other proud peoples on the basis of mutual respect, than are the compulsion driven internationalists--who do not respect their own heritages--likely to respect anyone else's.

The internationalist future should have ended at Babel, with other humanist absurdities. That so many educated people have bought into the humanist or collectivist/egalitarian fallacies, is a tragedy of immense proportions.
