@Iceman78985 The  neoconservatives are the crazies, they want to rule the world.

I would not put Sarah Palin nor Michele Bachmann in the Tea Party Movement. They are both Establishment GOP Neocons, hence they are not part of the Tea Parties.

The Tea Party Movement came out of the RON PAUL campaign, and a repudiation of both parties.

Neoconservatives are basically liberal socialists in disguise. They are politicians late to jump on the conservative/Republican band-wagon, but have very little in common with conservatives. They are covert Fabian socialists. Both parties have been infected with Marxist communism: the Democratic party to a greater extent than the Republican party, but they're getting there.

Ron Paul DIDN'T start the Tea Pty.In fact,support is low for Paul among Tea Partiers.Quote from Wikipedia:"Tea Party Patriots wishes to extend a special thank you to Rick Santelli for his rant on February 19, 2009, which started this entire movement.Without Rick's rant, this movement would never have started.Many others will try to take credit but don't be fooled.He was the spark that began this fire."Actually, NO ONE started the Tea Party.It was spontaneous around the US because of Rick's rant.

I always knew that Rubio was just another Neo Con under the guise of the Tea Party.

Neo-cons and neo-liberals are blood thirsty, power hungry monsters. They hide behind Democrat and Republican titles but their foreign policy is identical. Most liberals today that support Obama are hypocrites, because they don't criticize this president for maintaining George W. war agenda. They are big gov't types that are destroying this country from the inside out.

[sam224423]

Marco Rubio is more neo-con than a T-Party conservative. It's worth noting that he does not align himself with Jim Demint, Mike Lee and Rand Paul. Also he has voted for this NDAA, piece of legislation that essentially puts an END to due process in this country. He in many ways is worst then your typical neo-con.

If we survive long enough to get to that point, and i dont think we will, who do you think they would come after next? Look at Newt's platform. Deport all aliens except the ones he likes, abolish child labor laws and go assassinate some Irani scientists, while torturing our 'enemies' and picking who can work for government based on their religion. OH and did I forget STRENGTHENING the deplorable PATRIOT ACT! NEO-CONS must be stopped!

@abukamoon

Sarah Palin might be clueless, but i dont think she officially signed a blood pact with the neo-cons. Actually she wouldnt mind seeing Ron Paul win. I cant say the same about Bachmann. That girl is two flavors of far gone. It would be nice if the tea party re-grouped and went back to its roots.

[SovereignStatesman]

Good ol' PresidentWilson trumped up the claim of "making the world safe for democracy" to empower oligarchs through war, the same way that he trumped up the phrase "you can't shout fire in a crowded theater" to silence critics through censorship.

Read Murray Rothbard's "Wall Street, Banks and American Foreign Policy" for a detailed proof that Wilson was a shill for American industry's forcing Americans into overseas wars for private gain, being an employee and puppet of JP Morgan.

I thought this was so confusing. I wish this video would have been more basic and easier to understand.
