The Native-Born as Coming First? -- 7. Reconsidering Assumptions.This book presents a reassessment of the fundamental principles of the Tea Party movement. The Tea Party movement is largely associated with those who want a severely limited federal government spending far fewer taxpayer dollars. What gets less attention are the underlying Tea Party sentiments that, the book argues, are not so much false as they are terribly dated in light of the current national landscape. Such sentiments include prioritizing self-reliance, viewing politics as a “dirty business,” considering “free enterprise” unassailable, and believing the earth to be man’s possession. Brown skillfully and thoughtfully breaks from partisan considerations to get at the root of the movement, arguing that too many Tea Partiers are living in a world of their own, which, given so many pressing problems in the world, amounts to what Brown calls “sentimental mischief.”.United States—Politics and governmentPolitical communicationElectionsPolitical theoryPolitical philosophyUS Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911180Political Communicationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911030Electoral Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911070Political Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911010Political Philosophyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E37000United States—Politics and government.Political communication.Elections.Political theory.Political philosophy.US Politics.Political Communication.Electoral Politics.Political Theory.Political Philosophy.321.8Brown David Warfieldauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1062751BOOK9910255317203321Assumptions of the Tea Party Movement2528307UNINA
