I always stop reading at the first ‘ilk’...


A Paulite, huh? “Ilk” generally works for fans of Ron, but if it unfairly characterizes you, forgive my careless use of the term “ilk.” :-)

Which Tea Party did/do you belong to? And how did yours jump the shark? Mine is doing fine, educating, GOTV, etc. Maybe you should find another one.

It isn't about me or any one person, it is about the overall state of the nation as well as the core principles of the tea parties...

Do the math, count the voting records of those promoted by and subsequently elected to office in 2010 by the those who call themselves ‘tea party members’ and then ask yourself...what's the difference? Have you gained freedom from the oppressive govt or have the elected ones voted to further oppress the citizenry. Discernment is a virtue given to man by God. Those who put their trust in man, rather than letting God lead them down the true path in order to discern the wolves from the sheep, are more oft likely to be led over the cliff. Israel wanted a king just like all the other nations, but because they refused the discernment of God, God gave them an oppressor. Yes, there truly is nothing new under the sun, just repetition due to man's lack of true discernment.

The Constitution is our nation's foundation stone. The foundation stone of the Constitution is the Bible aka GOD. The tea party has continually at times rebuked both in one way or another by not adopting both the above as a whole and by ignoring critical articles therein that do not suit their cause lest they be labeled ‘suspect and odious”.
