Ron Paul’s Shocking Message To The Tea Party

[Newsbot]

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.

Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin are full of shit? Shocking.

Palin is just an ignorant dumbass.

Sadly, Beck is I'm certain a fairly intelligent person who can think things through and probably knows that what he's saying is stupid. But its in his best interests(fiscally, etc) to rile up the mob with all his fearmongering and divisiveness. Which makes what he is doing, in my opinion, all the more reprehensible.

Holy shit, the more I read about Ron Paul, the more I respect him as a man of principles. I totally disagree with most of his politics, but I have no doubt he believes in them. He's like a Libertarian Dennis Kucinich. We need more politicians like that on both sides.

Beck is a self-admitted entertainer who doesn't care what he's saying as long as he's getting paid, and he is certainly getting paid. Trouble is, he either doesn't realize or (more likely) doesn't care how many people hang on his every word and how he's worsening divisions in our country that were already really bad to begin with. He also either has the worst understanding of American history, or he's twisting it to fit his narrative. If he really wanted to restore honor to America, he'd shut the hell up. Honestly, the Founding Fathers had far more clear-cut differences than the two major parties do today, and their arguments got really heated sometimes, but they still had respect for one another as human beings and recognized that no one was a traitor for disagreeing.

Palin, though, dumbass and opportunist. Her comments are inane, and she seems in every interview and speech I've seen to be a half-wit. No, a quarter-wit. She's not even like Bush, who I believe was actually quite smart but played a moron really well to the public. (Really, how do you mispronounce the same word a few hundred times when everyone makes fun of you every time? If he were as dumb as he acted, he would've gotten it right the second, or maybe fourth, time and then paused to snicker under his breath.)

However, Palin looks like a Rhodes Scholar next to Michelle Bachmann. You ever heard of her?

[Diabolical]

When it comes to these far right conservatives like Beck, Plain, etc. and the Tea Party people, I can't help but hear the voice of Obi-Wan Kenobi: "Who's the more foolish...the fool, or the fool who follows him?"

Bush, who I believe was actually quite smart but played a moron really well to the public.

You give him far too much credit.

I'm taking a Women's Studies class to fill a requirement. The professor is actually pretty cool and keeps the class interesting. She says she keeps a basket of balled up socks in her living room because she watches Glenn Beck and likes to throw socks at him.
