Bravo -EXACTLY!
And who opposed the Tea Party -well both RINOs and Dems -in other words, the progressives.
...and like any revolution, both the RINOs and Libertarians have attempted to coerce it and ride its coat tails.
The facts are that the Tea Party is Conservative and with these patriots having to go at it alone it implies that there is something terribly wrong with the GOP. The GOP establishment has moved left BOTH morally and fiscally -BOTH because BOTH are tied at the hip -the same authority that premises limited government premises absolute and inalienable moral truth.
I myself am not fooled by the RINOs and the mass media who claim that the Tea Party is morally ambivalent -fiscal only. I call BS on that bit of propaganda. The Tea Party principles are premised upon the same principles this country was founded upon. IF the Tea Party was morally ambivalent THEN why did they not cross over to the Libertarian side of the house -answer me that any RINO reading this post?
