Did the republican party hijack the tea party movement and if so, why?

It is an interesting development but it doesn't make me angry. My hope, instead, is that it will become something like the Ron Paul movement - people from so many different parties support his common sense policies. And his foreign policy is brilliant - very like Switzerland.

When was the last time Switzerland was attacked? His brilliant foreign policy is simply this - trade with all countries but avoid political entanglements. Interestingly, that is also the philosophy of our Founding Fathers.

It's really a shame. The conservatives jumped on the bandwagon because of the anti-government stance. Now the Tea Party movement has earned the label angry white people.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
