Don’t Believe Everything You Read at ‘Breitbart’

The folks at Breitbart need to be corrected from time to time as they are subscribers of the curious notion that they support tea party principles. Here is a case where they clearly do not.

They claim that Senator Ayotte was endorsed by the tea party. Since we are a non-partisan movement and do not endorse in campaigns, this cannot be possible. And even if we did, we doubt she would have been our pick.

In his article, Joel Pollak states that “She (Ayotte) is one of the few conservatives who is fluent in both the Tea Party’s constitutionalism and the hawkish policy prescriptions of the national security wing of the Republican Party.”

We never endorsed her. Further, most actually do not approve of her recent hawkish foreign policy positions, especially her recent statement in the Union Leader that we should arm the rebels in Syria (who are mostly Al Qaeda and Muslim Brotherhood forces) in order to topple the Assad administration.

The tea party movement was formed in 2007. One of the most important of the three lynchpin issues upon which it was founded was that we want the government to follow a strong pro-defense but decidedly non-interventionist policy as per the founders. The monetary system and personal freedoms were the two others.
