Beware Rand Paul and Sarah Palin [Finally their fear shows it's real face]

The Tea Party could have gotten rid of Perry in Texas, but the Tea Party’s candidate of choice, choked on a Glenn Beck interview and refused to say that she did NOT believe in the conspiracy theory about 9/11.

That left Perry and Hutchison. We had a novice for our candidate and now, we’re stuck with Governor Good-hair for another 4 years.

And, BTW, if you enter Mexico illegally, it's 5 years in prison.

You think that's good, do you?

There may come a time (pray it never comes, but it could) when certain conservatives will want to seek refuge in a neighboring country. Will they be welcome in Mexico if they don't know the native language? I kinda doubt it.

Even so, five years rotting in a Mexican jail is a notch or two better than death in this country, isn't it?

I am a patriot and the lie-bertarian beliefs are way too shallow for me. And I think they are a danger to this country and what we stand for, with their isolationist position and general desire for liberty without responsibility.

I am worried by their anti-Semitism, which in my view is profoundly un-American,

My wife is one-quarter Jewish.

as well as their weak approach to immigration law

I think that the border should be militarized against Illegal Immigration.
(One of the reasons I like Rand Paul. He's the only politician I've ever heard, besides maybe Hunter and Tancredo, who's actually proposed this idea).

and support for abortion.

I think Abortion should be outlawed as Murder.
Because it is murder.

So -- I'm not Anti-Semitic; I'm pro-Border Security; and I'm Pro-Life.

How would you categorize me?

If you analyze it I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism. I think conservatism is really a misnomer just as liberalism is a misnomer for the liberals – if we were back in the days of the Revolution, so-called conservatives today would be the Liberals and the liberals would be the Tories. The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom and this is a pretty general description also of what libertarianism is. -- Ronald Reagan

I pray that before that day comes that there will come a Revolution in this nation first. I’d rather stand on this soil and fight, than run and hide out in a foreign land. God knows that I mean that with all my heart.

And those progressives who cheer the takeover of the Republican Party by the tea partiers, seeing in it a recipe for electoral victory for Democrats in 2012, may be making a tragic error...

They've been wrong from the start. Why mess with a streak?

the Tea Party’s candidate of choice

Medina wasn't the Tea Party candidate of choice.

She merely CLAIMED to be.

Big difference.
