Perhaps you should direct that to your right wing friends. One of them in another thread said if Obama uses the 14th Amendment, they will use 2nd Amendment remedies to overthrow the dictator.
DHS and Secret Service might need to be called on that person.
Separate issue. I'm speaking about how people want to "stop" the tea party.
The Tea Party won't be satisfied until the federal government shrinks and follows the Constitution. This is the best time. Rather than ween ourselves from credit, we are going cold turkey. It won't be easy but it is better than digging the hole deeper and trying to crawl out.
Send those spending addicts to rehab. Anything else is just living in denial. Any money you give them only goes to their addiction.

They are going to promote following the Constitution by doing something unconstitutional? (Defaulting on our debt is a violation of the 14th Amendment).
Isn't Rand Paul a Dentist? Where did he get his economic degree. This is the same tripe that the T party is gobbling up like candy. There are other obligations beyond debt...
I am right and the OP is correct. You Tpers do not want the debt ceiling raised. That is what Paul is advocating isn't it. Why give the detailed explanation that not raising the debt ceiling will have little impact if he was in fact wanting to raise the debt ceiling. HE does not want to raise the debt ceiling. He is just saying it is not necessary. Just be intellectually honest about it.
Sadly the right wing on this board supports their attempts to destroy America, since they are doing what they were elected to do! Of course, the right wings also don't realize crashing the world economy and raising our interest rates doesn't actually save us money, it forces us to spend trillions more in interest.
No it doesn't. Current federal debt obligations already have a locked in interest rate. They pay a fixed coupon rate.

He can't use the 14th. Section 5 gives Congress the power to enforce the 14th.
Section 4. The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void. Section 5. The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

The Tea Party wants this to turn into a Christian theocracy. That's worse.
Not true. Theocrats are generally not supportive of Ron Paul, the father of the Tea Party. Liberals keep making the intentional mistake of perpetuating lies.

Can't default. We take in too much money to even come close. Just cut off all necessary gov't agencies' budget and you have more than enough money. Default won't happen anyway.
All August 2nd will mean is that funding is prioritized and many people are cut off from the discretionary spending pool.
