Briefly, tea baggers want a more limited govt cost wise. Roll things
back to the 2005,2007 annual budget. We also want the Constition
upheld. Hayek is well liked by the Tea baggers, road to sefdom was
passed around.

Mieses and Hayek observed this in action, and it was the
conclusion that one reason the German public kept silent
during the Holocaust, was they were bought off by "social
services access." This was the conclusion of a German citizen
of Turkish origin, an academic. I might be able to look up
this academic, if needed?
Hayek would be reviled by the Tea Baggers and libertarians as a
"socialist":
"But there are two kinds of security: the certainty of a given
minimum of sustenance for all and the security of a given standard
of life, of the relative position which one person or group enjoys
compared with others. There is no reason why, in a society which has
reached the general level of wealth ours has, the first kind of
security should not be guaranteed to all without endangering general
freedom; that is: some minimum of food, shelter and clothing,
sufficient to preserve health. Nor is there any reason why the state
should not help to organize a comprehensive system of social
insurance in providing for those common hazards of life against
which few can make adequate provision. "
--- Frederick Hayek, "The Road to Serfdom"
Secondly, has anyone here when referring to US healthcare
(Yeah I know that is a separate thread) knows what Medicaid
and Medicare are? Thirdly, does anyone know that Scalia took,
fellow, justice, Elena Kagan, deer hunting a few months ago?
Scalia may believe in a devil, but he does make nice nice with
his political opposite, and gay cohort on the US Supreme
Court. Sounds like a regular storm trooper to me!
Strumabteilung, as the Germans called it.
Lastly, has anyone ever met a real, live, Tea Partier, or
Tea Bagger, how ever you wish to term it?
No, but I know several libertarians, with one of whom I've publicly
debated global warming.
