[quote]1. Illegal aliens are here illegally.[/quote] No shit, but that doesn't mean we can't have a[b] less intrusive [/b]immigration policy in a country founded on immigration. [quote] 3. A strong military is essential. [/quote] Or really? What about this? [quote]6. Government must be downsized. 7. The national budget must be balanced.[/quote] They are inherently contradictory terms. You cannot reasonably downsize the government or balance the national budget without some reduction in military spending. [quote] 4. Special interests must be eliminated. [/quote] Irony coming from an organization that has taken over by corporations and super PACs. [quote] 8. Deficit spending must end. 9. Bailout and stimulus plans are illegal. [/quote] Just because? Austerity was debunked with the outing of that fraudulent paper years ago. There is no basis for this. [quote] 13. Intrusive government must be stopped. [/quote] I agree, but: [quote] 15. Traditional family values are encouraged. [/quote] This is literally a direct contradiction. Demanding that "Intrusive government must be stopped!" while simultaneously going with family values* is hilariously stupid, and can be considered a form of doublethink. Even the language requirement is an unusual addition and waste of government money; but funnily enough when it comes to jingoism or nationalism and government, the Tea Party will kindly throughout their previous "values" in order to continue giving everyone the impression that the "dark ominous cloud of racism"** still lurks behind them. *Anti-gay marriage, anti-abortion, anti-family planning? **Onion 2016. TLDR: The important stuff is contradictory. Doublethink for President 2016! They are just cherry-picking the parts of the government they like, mostly to use against minorities, of course.
