I've been to a few Tea Party events, and I'm starting to have mixed feelings. The events I've seen have often been dominated by the kind of people who rant about the Federal Reserve and say that we shouldn't be fighting the Islamofascists in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Whether we have a Federal Reserve or not is irrelevant as long as voters expect the government to do as many things as the government is doing now. I may passionately want the government to do less and spend less. Most of my friends are people who generally agree with me. Unfortunately, the voting public either doesn't agree or is afraid of putting in power legislatures that will really act to reduce government. If the voters want the government to be too big and spend too much money, the government will do those things regardless of whether we have a federal reserve.

Likewise, I don't believe that our problems with the Islamofascists result from involvement in the Middle East. Islam's philosophy is to overtake the world, and as the world's biggest military and economic power, we are going to be a target. Refusing to be involved in events on that side of the world would not save us, and the only peace will come through beating them so badly that they never dare to cross us again. People who support the whole Ron Paul approach to terrorism are not people I trust with power.

I'm unhappy with many Republicans, but as I look at the people speaking at these events, I don't think, "Wow, I wish that guy were representing me in Congress or the state legislature." I hope this movement does some good, and I'm encouraged that the national organization endorsed Scott Brown even though he doesn't advocate the complete pro-life position. I'm more pro-life than the position that he's taken, but I recognize that we can't have everything we want. If the movement is capable of understanding that fact, the movement could do great things.

Then you are going to the wrong parties. Seek out the Tea Party Patriots. The ones you have been to sound like Ron Paul based groups that have taken the Tea Party name to draw attention to themselves and away from Ron Pauls narrow agendas, although I agree with the issues against the Fed, it is not the only issue. Now fighting against the Islamofascists is a very good thing and isn’t it funny how their rants against that have quelled since the Fruit of Kaboom fiasco?

Well said! That's exactly the feeling the latest America Rising video inspires.

May I inquire as to why all of the topics were removed from this thread? It wasn’t listed in Breaking News, only Front Page, Politics & News/Activism.
