Bottom up resistance to the GOP’s attempted top down takeover of the tea party movement
Poli-Tea

Is it possible that the GOP’s public hijacking of the tea party movement could turn out to be a grave strategic error? Is it possible that the attempted coup will solidify resistance to the co-optation of the movement by the representatives of the establishment parties and their political apparatus?

Sarah Palin’s storm at the tea party
Slate

02/08/10
At the Memphis party on Saturday, someone in the audience asked her about the prospects for what he called the ‘two words that scare liberals — President Palin.’ Let’s be clear on why those words should terrify anyone with a thinking brain. Palin is someone who has clearly never seriously thought through any issue of national importance on her own.

A Warning to the Tea Party Nation
by Pastor Chuck Baldwin

You are being compromised. You are being neutered. Stick to your principles. Stick with the Constitution.........
