LIBERTY RISING

American Majority President Ned Ryun’s post in the Washington Examiner this past Sunday.

There’s a lot of wishful thinking in Washington. Beltway Democrats wish for more of our money to spend. Beltway Republicans wish no one would notice they’ve done nothing about the deficit.

President Obama is wishing from the 18th green that the economy will magically improve enough to make him appear competent. And his progressive allies wish the Tea Party, which defeated well-heeled liberal forces in 2010, would just go away.

The Left thinks it’s getting its wish as Tea Party rallies fade into history. But that doesn’t mean that the Tea Party is dead. In fact, what progressives have hoped was the demise of the most effective grass-roots movement in recent history has actually been a needed evolution.
