Chris Tiedeman's Reinventing the Right Project
Tuesday afternoon, I interviewed longtime GOP activist Chris Tiedeman about his latest project. Titled "Reinventing the Right; Conservative Voices for the New Millennium", Chris talked about how his new project fits nicely into the TEA Party movement. Here's Chris's reply to my comment that his project fits into the TEA Party movement:
Many or most of the folks who have become self activated by the TEA Party movement are out there for that very reason. They are nurses solving health care without Harry Reid's input.
The pioneering American spirit is still alive and well, although it's been hibernating for far too long. Since the days of building the railroad to building the Golden Gate Bridge and into the twentieth century, America has had a spirit of ingenuity and innovation. Chris's book, Reinventing the Right: Conservative Voices for the New Millennium, is a solutions-oriented book. Follow this link to buy a copy of Chris's book.
The current majority isn't convinced that people can make smart decisions. That seams fair since We The People think that Washington and St. Paul politicians haven't made alot of great decisions lately.
Here's another great exchange:
GARY: Chris, You mentioned earlier that we're at a crossroads...How will free market capitalism help people prosper?
CHRIS: We are at a point in history where information is instant and nearly perfect. That isn't to say that all information is accurate, but everyone has access to such a vast amount of information that the consumer is in control. Markets, with the kind of information available, lead almost by necessity to prosperity.
Chris is exactly right. It's time We The People accessed the information we need. It's time that our government got out of the way. The thought that people can chart their own course is a liberating thought. That makes it appealling, too.
Reinventing the Right has a definite libertarian theme to it. That's always been an important force in Minnesota and national politics. It's the direction that the nation is trending in right now.
With Election 2010 looming, Chris won't have long to wait to see whether the people accept the challenge of living more independent lives. That's essentially what this election comes down to. This is the clearest choice between the philosophies in a generation.
