I have been telling everybody I know that I have been attending Tea Party protests and that I support their cause. So now people are coming to me, asking me what all that Tea Party stuff is about, usually with a hostile attitude. They are frustrated at the Tea Party’s success, and they want to prove that it is full of dangerous radicals.
This represents a great opportunity. I explain to them that I support the Tea Party because I think that expanding government spending is a bad idea, especially when the country is already so deeply in debt. I explain to them how removing capital from the market through government borrowing, and the looming taxes to pay for it all, is causing the recovery to stagnate.
I limit myself to this one point, and then point out that the Tea Partiers are the one group that in consistently against expanding federal spending, and that is why I support them. I talk about how all DC politicians, but especially the Democrats, use the excuse of Keynsean economic theory to do what they always want to do, which is to buy votes with our money. Even a dyed-in-the-wool Liberal has to admit that massive government spending is not working out in this particular case. At the end of the conversation, I have them agreeing with me, and agreeing that the Tea Party is not a radical organization at all.
So, when somebody asks you about the Tea Party, take it down a notch, and talk in measured tones. If we talk to “civilians” like we talk to each other, we wind up sounding like nut-jobs to their ears. I pick one point, and make it. If they bait me about Birtherism or social issues, I say I have no strong opinions, and stick to my main point. I think the most persuasive part of the conversation is that I am a Tea Partier, and I am also a polite and reasonable person. This completely destroys the MSM meme that we are all a bunch of raving lunatics.
And that will translate into votes in November.
Not a problem.
???? I do not admire the way he won. His election showed that the US electorate was more interested in the color of a person's skin and not the person himself. If Obama had not been half black, and not had the SRM humping his leg, he would have never been elected dog catcher, let alone POTUS.
His election was a black eye on our country and a reminder up how many very stupid, socialist, race baiting people live here.
Yes, we already have a system it’s called the constitution
and the TEA party wants to go back to it. It’s that simple.

Conservatives don’t support war unless it is for the protection of the US and is absolutely necessary. Conservatives were not very crazy about Bill Clinton using our military upon the orders of the UN to attack Serbia in protection of the Muslims in a civil war, for example.
Conservatives have been clear throughout the years that they do not want the US military being used as a UN military at the beck and call of foreign interests. I refer to the UN military globalist gang as the war wing.
Ron Paul is at the other extreme of the war wing. He would totally dismantle the US military so that self defense would be questionable.
