No, I don't think it's all talk and once people in this country are pushed far enough they will have no choice but to react in whatever way they know how. Many people have lived lives under the control of oppressive governments only to eventually resort to violence to win their freedom, at some point the hard working people of America will end up fighting for their freedom like we've done a few times in the past.

This is the way I would sum it up too...Rush is all over the Teabagger site and I cannot see Paul alligning himself with that herd of arsewipes.

Ron Paul is a drug advocating isolationist who wants nearly no government.

Not a Tea Party type IMO.

I don't like Ron Paul, but this is a flat out lie. Ron Paul's brand of Libertarianism has been foundational for the Tea Party. Why people follow Rush Limbaugh's cues is beyond me.

Interesting comment considering that this post involves the radio rantings of a confirmed drug addict. I guess your version of the Tea Party has no problem taking direction from a drug addicted talk radio gasbag, but is happy to criticize a guy like Paul that doesn't use drugs, just believes that a guy like Rush shouldn't go to prison when they do.
