Rather than believe that the Tea Party is inherently wrong because one article, please evaluate other Tea Party alternatives. For instance, I’m a registered Tea Party voter even though I have never attended a Tea Party rally. I know that my beliefs in limited government and a restoration of sanity to our government are important. Outside of those two things, nothing else matters.
Any Tea Party that discusses anything outside of strict economics and government theory can’t really be considered a Tea Party. As indicated in this article, a true Tea Party acknowledges that everyone is different and calls upon the states to determine how their voters live. If a homosexual couple lives in a state that does not recognize homosexual marriage, they are free to move to a different state that would endorse them.
The difference between then and now though lies in who makes the ultimatum. Right now, essentially, the federal government doesn’t care if their state is anti-homosexual. If they don’t follow the “federal law” (said in quotations because under the Constitution it isn’t a legal law) then they lose their share of goodies.
Just vote according to what you believe. If there is no one in your area who will be true to the Tea Party philosophy, go it alone. You could even start your own, should you wish to.
