Ron Paul’s Shocking Message To The Tea Party
Digital Meeting Center ^ | 28-Aug-2010 | Ron Paul

Posted on 08/30/2010 11:18:14 AM PDT by altair

Ron Paul has some surprising news for the Tea Party:

You’re being taken for a ride.

At least this is what many libertarians like Ron Paul believe when they see someone like Glenn Beck or Sarah Palin trying to lead the Tea Party at the “restoring honor” rally this weekend. In fact, Ron Paul believes, if you’re looking for real freedom, you should really go back to the core of the constitution and the bill of rights, which Beck and Palin do not fully endorse when you really look at their beliefs. Whether it be Palin’s support for starting more wars or Beck’s beliefs on paying the private Federal Reserve MORE interest on our money by means of a VAT tax.

Ron Paul believes in neither of the above.

Here was Ron Paul’s message to the Tea Party via The New York Times just the other day:

“As many frustrated Americans who have joined the Tea Party realize, we cannot stand against big government at home while supporting it abroad. We cannot talk about fiscal responsibility while spending trillions on occupying and bullying the rest of the world. We cannot talk about the budget deficit and spiraling domestic spending without looking at the costs of maintaining an American empire of more than 700 military bases in more than 120 foreign countries. We cannot pat ourselves on the back for cutting a few thousand dollars from a nature preserve or an inner-city swimming pool at home while turning a blind eye to a Pentagon budget that nearly equals those of the rest of the world combined.”

While the Tea Party will be out supporting Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin this weekend, you wonder how many of them will be in full support of more wars and paying more interest to a group of untouchable and unauditable private bankers otherwise known as the FED? This is precisely what Ron Paul is asking the American public to consider when looking at the Tea Party leaders and see if they really stand for what they believe in.

Ron Paul believes the Tea Party is not about “left” or “right” like a lot of political pundits make it out to be. It’s about the constitution, and limited government.

What? Is he miffed that he wasn’t invited??

Sheesh, this is exactly why conservatives fail in this country. Not that I ever listen to what Paul says, but I’m sure some do..

It is apparently getting dangerous to express freedom of speech and a sense of humor here.

When the comments are completely divorced from fact, as Dr Paul's are, “take your meds” is a complete appropriate response to his emotion based, hyper ignorant bile laced drivel.

I don’t think search on this site is that great. It could use some improvement.

Only problems are his “quotes” are completely made up fraudulent lies about his targets.

If you have to lie about your political opposition, you have all ready lost the debate.

Toot toot, the pork train’s acomin’ into town, and Ron Paul’s conducting it.

Liberaltarians need someone more credible than Ron Paul if they’re going to convince us that they really care about the Constitution.

Ron would drive the country over a cliff exactly like Barry has, just a different cliff. As for the Tea Party taking people for a ride, that's a clear case of Ron seeing his own faults in others.

He is pretty old to not have learned yet that sometimes it is best to just be quiet.

Well then why don't you libertarians get the hell out of the Republican party. Let me make this perfectly clear. We don't need or want you.

Any truth that Ron Paul is auditioning for the role of Barney Fyfe on the re-make of the old Andy Griffith Show?

You're right. He's as petulant as the punk in the WH, and often on the same side of some issues, like the MURDER MOSQUE for one example.
