I was recently honored to keynote at a tea party rally with thousands of concerned people who are fed up with government spending and the American loss of freedom.
But you won't find me throwing rhetoric-bombs at the Obama administration--indeed, my quips were with the modern right.
I promise, you won't hear this type of speech at every tea party--not by a long shot.
It's all about persuasion; the tea party movement has it's potential, but only if it wakes up to some harsh political realities first and I wanted to convince some conservatives of just that.
Watch below and send this one out to a conservative, or two, who may not have yet grasped the light of the liberty movement.
Just this past week, I had the distinguished pleasure of being invited to sit on a panel for a town hall at Wake Forest University. Year of Youth was a non-partisan (we like to think post-partisan) sponsor of the event, as well as several other libertarian, conservative, and a non-partisan organizations.
The message of localism transcended pretty much all political boundaries and people agreed:
