Sophism, according to Merriam Webster, is, “an argument apparently correct in form but actually invalid; especially: such an argument used to deceive.”
Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-FL) is a world-class practitioner of this art. Her grandiose explanation of how she, and other House Democrats, aggressively worked to subvert the Constitution, and force citizens to purchase health insurance, is a sickening display of Statist elitism.
If you agree with the Congresswoman, you are also a world class liar. But, instead of lying to your constituents, you’re just lying to yourself.
In lieu of the Statist agenda to rip at the core of the Constitution, I have decided to put together a week-long strategy session on my radio show, The Tony Katz Radio Spectacular. You can get more information from All Patriots Media.com. Here is part of my statement to APM:

Tony Katz, host of The Tony Katz Radio Spectacular, is conducting a week-long strategy session, in the wake of the House passage of health care.
Tony made his remarks just after the vote.
“It is clear that the Statists thinks they are in control. And it is apparent to anyone with eyes, ears and a somewhat working brain that when dealing with a Statist, the ends always justify the means. We have witnessed bribery and intimidation of elected officials, and to stand idly by is just unacceptable.”
Below is a letter I wrote to the members of the Nationwide Tea Party Coalition. While I am not a big believer in official tea party organizations, I wanted to relay some thoughts I had on what the next 365 days mean to all of us.
Feel free to share it as you see fit.
Hello all,
Just a reminder that, regardless of what happens today, it is only the beginning. A first step, in what will need to be millions of steps, in order to bring about the kind of country that once again celebrates The Four Basics – Constitution, Capitalism, Fiscal Responsibility and Smaller Government.
For all of us, regardless of individual differences on policy, promotion or even personalities, and regardless of who the victors are tonight, we have 365 days to make the difference. The “national” level will never mean as much as we do in our local communities. We must keep our eyes on that local and statewide prize. Empower fellow Americans to realize they can turn the country from this Statist slide, enable fellow Americans to start Tea Parties and discussion groups where they live, and provide information that allows fellow Americans to debate the issues with confidence, and contact their representatives with conviction.
This is only the beginning. I wish us all well as the real journey begins today. And I pray for our success.
I am proud to be an organizer, and the host, of 912West – A Tea Party for the West Coast. Join us, along with thousands of other like-minded Americans, on September 12th from 3pm to 5pm in Los Angeles. The Tea Party Movement has only just begun to take hold in America, attracting hundreds of thousands of Americans to it’s core principles of:
Following the Constitution
Smaller Government
Free Markets with as little regulation as possible
Fiscal Responsibility
The event is non-partisan. Tea Parties are not about Republican vs. Democrat, or conservative vs. liberal. The Tea Parties are about Principle, Not Party. Everyone, regardless of their political affiliation, is welcome to join us. There is also no cost to attend. For more information, visit 912West.org.
