From what I've seen of the Freedom Caucus on TV, I don't think anr of them have said, "My way or nothing."

Nearly every one of them has spoken of the tyranny/dictatorship of Speaker Boner, and they want that to end.

While party discipline is a fine thing, it is un-American to punish dissent from the Speaker's chair.

If I were them, that would be prime concern. I haven't seen where Ryan has addressed that.

Ryan seems to have at least implied, “My way or nothing.”

Seriously? Speakers punishing dissent is as American as a baseball pie. There's never been a Speaker, certainly not an effective one, that didn't enforce dicipline.

Ryan is saying just that. If the Freedom Caucus buckles they will simply get a more forceful Boner.
