Our Tea Party may have helped spawn this new, global interest, in liberty. Some blame Obama. Demonstrator have used Tea Party slogans as they peacefully walked into bullets.
Liberty is a common idea. The Tea Party slogans date back before our revolution. Does the Tea Party have an obligation to these new democracies.
Democracy struggling toward light, needs institutions. Those institutions will need building or rebuilding.
Our current budget battles seem tiny compared to building democracy's institutions. No one knows where the next need will appear, maybe Cuba, maybe... The Tea Party would do well to respond. Former President George W. Bush could be a great source. This Administration may decide to press the former president into use before the Tea Party develops a liberty response.
The question really is, Can the Tea Party take its place in history or are they simply AstroTurf Americans.
