Trend forecaster Gerald Celente may have been right when he predicted more than a year ago a future alliance between progressives and libertarians. On Fox News' Freedom Watch, Ron Paul and Ralph Nader appeared together to highlight many of the points of agreements between Tea Party activists and progressives on the left. Nader explained how Tea party Congresspeople are different from other Republicans in Congress,
to the extent that they are genuine libertarian conservatives and not corporatists. Corporatists believe in corporate government. They are great allies with many liberals and progressives, to challenge the bloated military budgets, to challenge undeclared wars overseas, to challenge hundreds of billions of dollars in corporate welfare, handouts, giveaways, bailouts, to challenge the invasiveness of our civil liberties and civil rights by the notorious Patriot Act, to challenge the sovereignty shredding, job destroying NAFTA and World Trade Organization agreements... and to allow government employees to ethically blow the whistle on corporate rapaciousness and contracts and government misdeeds. Just think of that agenda for a dynamic political force.
Ron Paul echoed Nader's sentiment, citing outstanding debt and foreign wars as issues where both libertarians and progressives have agreed in the past. "We should come together and work together, and I think we can."
As the presidential race of 2012 nears, this alliance may foreshadow some of the unexpected surprises we might witness in future news cycles as the Tea Party continues to reshape the American political spectrum.
Yep, Paul is the true Conservative.. lol
Well, that should be enough to prove who the real Ron Paul is.
Lyndon LaRouche has been reincarnated!
I could never vote for a 9-11 “truther” like Paul, but he’s pretty much jumped the shark with all conservatives with this move.
My eyes are rolled so far back in my head that I have little hope of ever getting them back. Good thing I’m s youvvvvvhj yu[ody.
Whatever Ron Paul is, he sure as heck ain't the Tea Party!
These days he seems to be going the wayward way of Pat Buchanon, teaming up with the far, far Left. That, of course, is the political antipodes where conspiracy theories meet and embrace. Any takers?
LOL - what unites these two is their anti-Semitism. Let’s all agree to blame the Jews and what our paranoid brains think are their proxies - look how well it worked in Germany in the 1930s!!! What could possibly go wrong?
Yep, you are right.
hmmm
Run Ralphie, Run!
Good grief ping to look at in the AM.
I would like a Paulbot explain this one..
Ralph Nader loves big gov’t.
Ron Paul wants small gov’t.
How can these two have anything in common?
It's the corporations, I tell you.
FURP!!
Ron Paul wants small gov’t.
How can these two have anything in common?
They can't!
FURP!
They are both from the government and they are here to help.
It isn’t too hard to see what they have in common if you look past their political rhetoric.
