Here's more proof the Republican Party really doesn't like Tea Partiers. When you call Sen. Rand Paul a "libertarian extremist," we pretty much know where you're coming from.

The Tea Party's limited-government, constitutional heart is in the right place. But it needs much better guidance about how the Constitution works in wartime....
In my humble opinion (okay, okay, not so humble — but one I've spent years developing), historians will look back on the democracy project as the most damaging national-security development in the post-9/11 era. For one thing, it will be seen as the policy that vested such dangerously misplaced Tea Party credibility in libertarian extremists such as Senator Paul and Judge Napolitano, who, under the Orwellian guise of "constitutionalism," seek to vest our wartime enemies with the rights and privileges of American citizens (to the full peacetime extent of those rights and privileges)....
And my favorite line in the whole article:

Could a president abuse such power? Of course — all power can be abused.
You ever want to just reach into a computer and just strangle someone? Trust me, some us "libertarian extremists" aren't quite as pacifist as Andrew McCarthy seems to think.
