I never heard of Scott Reed, but he and the rest of the RINO establishment can go to hell.
Add Rubio to your list.

Every American citizen who has access to a computer can read for themselves the writings of such great defenders of liberty as Washington, the Adamses, Jefferson, Madison, etc. They do not have to rely on second-hand versions of their ideas, as translated through current magazines and talking heads.
Thus, Tea Partiers are outspoken advocates for the philosophy of their Declaration of Independence, for the built-in protections of their Constitution, and they understand that neither Democrats nor Republicans have been adequate guardians of that philosophy and those protections.
Tea Partiers are closer to the philosophy which gave birth to the "American miracle" than any single movement since the founding of the Republic, and they will not be silenced. They know that if they do not prevail in efforts to rediscover, rekindle, and implement the Founders' ideas in the minds of rising generations, then liberty may be lost.
"An infantile form of conservatism"?
Think again, Bill!
You may not be as "in tune" as you believe with the host of Americans who embrace the Tea Partiers' cause, which is much more sophisticated and informed and in line with Kirk's "Conservative Mind" than with the views expressed in "Weekly Standard."
Just perhaps, they are becoming as informed as ordinary citizens Tocqueville visited in the American wilderness of the 1830's, whom he described in the following manner:
"It cannot be doubted that in the United States the instruction of the people powerfully contributes to the support of the democratic republic; and such must always be the case, I believe, where the in struction which enlightens the understanding is not separated from the moral education ...." The American citizen, he said, "..will inform you what his rights are and by what means he exercises them .. In the United States, politics are the end and aim of education ... every citizen receives the elementary notions of human knowledge; he is taught, moreover, the doctrines and the evidences of his religion, the history of his country, and the leading features of its Constitution .... it is extremely rare to find a man imperfectly acquainted with all these things, and a person wholly ignorant of them is a sort of phenomenon .... It is difficult to imagine the incredible rapidity with which thought circulates in the midst of these deserts [wilderness]. I do not think that so much intellectual activity exists in the most enlightened and populous districts of France."
September 2011 in W.PA and about 2,500 racist, bigots were present.
We burned a cross, an American flag, threw granny {in a wheel chair} over a cliff, drowned a kid with Downs Syndrome and beat up all the "different" people that showed up.
We would have done more but we all got drunk, had sex with the farm animals and passed out.
How's that for getting stuff done?
No need to repeat yourself. They are one and the same.
“Palin, boehner, mcconnell , and beck killed off the tea party.”
Don’t you wish! The Tea Party is alive and well. Watch us.
But, but, but, our mentor, o’bammy didn’t do a shout-out to us.... ;-)
The TEA Party is currently engaged in a ‘Phony War’.
