Its almost like Rand Paul has stabbed you in the back if you are a Sarah Palin- law and order, build more prisons, Republican Tea Partier. As a Tea Partier do you think Rand Pauls comments about the militarization of police departments are out of line?
I don't know why there has to be a label for everybody. I find it refreshing that Rand Paul doesn't fit neatly into anybody's predefined political box.
Food for thought since you equate Rand Paul with Sarah Palin.
It’s time to stop calling Rand Paul a tea partier - The Washington Post
As we've written before, the "tea party" tag has been vastly over-applied throughout the last few years. It was basically used on every Republican who won office in 2010, even as many of them had little to do with the movement -- either ideologically or in their actions.

The trouble with Paul is that no well-known labels seem to fit him well. While his dad, Ron Paul, is a pretty straight-line libertarian, that's not really who the younger Paul is. He's not an establishment Republican, a neo-conservative, an arch-conservative or a moderate Republican.
We still don't know what label would be better than "tea party," but it's becoming clearer and clearer that this label doesn't really fit. Maybe he's just a Rand Paul Republican.

It is confirmed you have no idea what the TEA Party is.
As a member of Ron Pauls original Tea Party, the police state is out of hand and we have said so, since the patriot act was passed.

That's because the Tea Party was astroturfed from its original libertarian underpinnings into nothing more than a bunch of loudmouth pseudo-libertarians who are disaffected by the current incumbent POTUS when in actuality, freedoms have been getting shafted long before he was ever in politics. Once the current POTUS placeholder is gone and if we get an R in the White House, I suspect a large number of these current members will go back to sleep.

Police brutality is at an all time high in this country. It would be a good thing to demilitarize the police.
