Matthew Zelidman’s response to Dr. Stephen Morris’ letter, asserting that the Tea Partiers don’t stand for personal freedom, is wrong.
The Tea Party has only two principles; 1). limited government and 2). lower taxes.
Both of these principles are consistent with America’s Founding Principles.
Zeidman’s raises social issues such as abortion, marriage equality, drug legalization as inconsistent with the Tea Party.
These policies are not ingrained into the broad umbrella of the Tea Party.
I am a Tea Partier and an advocate for pro-choice in abortion, marriage equality, drug legalization…freedom to do whatever one wants as long as the activity does not violate the rights of others.
Zelidman’s incorrectly implies that the Affordable Care Act does not usurp the rights of doctors and patients; when in fact the act is fascist and usurps almost everyone’s rights.
The Tea Party most certainly is a champion of liberty, personal and economic; and certainly more so that expressed by Zeidman.
