The Ron Paul Tea Party no longer exists if it ever did. It has been replaced by the Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachmann, Glenn Beck Christian Taliban version with corporate funding provided by Koch Industries. The Tea Party is now just a louder, older, more militant version of the Religious Right, Moral Majority, etc. The same people have called themselves different things over the years, but the Tea Party is the same group of aging fundamentalist Christians whose idea of a smaller, less intrusive government is one that only bans things they don't like. The Tea Party only cares about freedom in terms of a marketing slogan, unless they truly believe that freedom is being free to do as you are told by elderly geezers quoting from a Bronze Age book of fairy tales.
It is still there, or you don't understand what the Tea Party is, here 9 years after it's first Taxed Enough Already rally.
Once again, I am surprised that some still chose to remain ignorant on the origins and purpose of the TEA Party. Just illustrates how many repeat talking points of the left's MSM without taking the time to understand what is being discussed. Our government wastes billions of dollars on bs projects and we should all be questioning where our money goes.
As far as the TEA Party being made up of "old white men," I have to lol. Look at the 2016 presidential candidates on both sides of the aisle: the dems have and old white woman and old white man running (now there's diversity), when the republican field succinctly represents the true diversity of our country.

This TEA Party guys ideas along with every TEA Party person I associate:
1. Reduce government spending in the majority of areas, including military, by reducing waste, redundancy and over payments.
2. No business is too big to fail.
3. Stop all foreign aid to every country including Israel.
4. Simplify our tax code, which includes getting rid of corporate subsidies.
5. Stop being the world's police and stay out of other countries affairs unless they are a direct threat to the US.
6. Ditch the Patriot Act.
7. Reduce federal control by allowing greater local control.
