Well, this is hardly a news flash to me. I could see it coming. The Tea Party “movement” has been an opportunity for several political stripes to throw American politics into confusion, the first and foremost being the Libertarian influence.
The main theme of the Tea Party is to bash Republicans. They’re all RINOs, doncha know? That has to come from a leftist influence.
Libertarians have always aided the aims of the democrats. The funny part is the way they have become allied with the hard right, in the form of Club for Growth.
It all appears to be a zany circus to me, so I stay out of it.
Uh, what?!?
When did advocating limited government, lower taxes, less government spending, free trade, and economic freedom become "hard right"?
Since Club for Growth founder Stephen Moore has held, or holds, positions of high honor or responsibility with conservative orgs and entities such as the Heritage Foundation and National Review, are they "hard right" too? Since Moore is a partner in Art Laffer's consulting firm, does that make supply side economics "hard right"? Was Reagan "hard right"?
