The IVN Team.

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

Judging by the content of the article, the IVN staff is clearly comprised of dyed-in-the-wool Paulsheviks.*

* I intend this term to be derogatory of Ron’s supporters, not Rand’s.

I think this author may have confused the “Tea Party” with “Occupy Wall Street.”

Chad Peace? LOL.

Without the underpinning of moral absolutes, mere fiscal "Conservatism" is an empty vessel. Bring pro-God, pro-life and pro-gun are at core of authentic Conservatism. All else then logically follows in line.

The inhabitants of Sodom and Gommorah may have very well favored low taxes and a small government. If so, that didn't make them Conservative. Having they turned away from God, they were nothing but liberals.

This is such a lie.

Are we talking about the same Tea Party?

It had nothing at all to do with Ron Paul. Not that it was actively hostile, but it was not a Ron Paul operation in any way.

[EasySt]

It’s a shame we are so effectively divided.

It would be nice if Religious Conservatives, Social Conservatives, Fiscal Conservatives, Constitutional Conservatives, Libertarian Conservatives, and Ron Paul Conservatives could all tolerate each other enough to get firmly together behind limited government, tightly bound by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

I kinda though that was what the TEA Party was supposed to be about.

Saying the Tea Party is somehow Ron Paul’s creation is patently absurd. Still, there is no question that both Pauls are really, actually, for real, no kidding, serious about limited/Constitutional government. They actually believe in it, and that’s why they have devoted followers. I don’t want Ron as President, but I do want him around.
