It seems to me that there are two vehicles driving toward the goal of limited government.
One is the Libertarian movement, and the other is the Tea Party movement.
The Libertarians advocate true liberty in the most consistent sense: maximized civil and economic liberty. They advocate laissez faire economics and Classical Liberalism. They have fewer ties to the political Left and Right, but rather they are their own entity.
The Tea Party Movement also advocates liberty. However, it is often difficult to see which kinds they advocate. They undoubtedly advocate the fiscal conservatism that the Libertarians advocate. However, to me it seems that their stance on civil liberties is murky. Unlike the Libertarian movement, the Tea Party appears to be a wing of the political Right, rather than being its own entity. Therefore, the Tea Party might be a movement within the Right Wing to economically liberalize. I am undoubtedly for that economic liberalization, though I may not agree with their stance on civil liberties.
I think it would help the Tea Party to become more organized rather than being a political guerrilla group. Though the Tea Party seems to prefer the disorganization, I think it makes them look less than legitimate. Like the Libertarians, they should advocate various ideologies that suit them rather than dressing as Founding Fathers. Also, I think they should attempt to distance themselves from the far political Right and more toward the more moderate Libertarians, or else they will probably never be elected to political office.
The fact that they appear to want disorganization does make them both look and act like the definition of a guerilla movement. The online dictionary says a guerilla (movement, group, etc.) is: “a member of a band of irregular soldiers that uses guerrilla warfare, harassing the enemy by surprise raids, sabotaging communication and supply lines, etc.” They aren’t openly violent soldiers haha, but they do attack/harass/attempt to sabotage the present administration. Im sure if you ask the Tea Party, they may not even associate with any politicians (besides the most idiotic *points to Sarah Palin) because they are so against an establishment and/or government. Despite this, they probably do side with the Right.
The difference between Libertarians and the TP is highlighted strongly and concisely in this post.
