Below is an article on Paul Nehlen written by the New American Magazine, a publication of the John Birch Society, that is worth your reading. Standing on Constitution, Businessman Aims to Depose Paul Ryan If you have been paying attention, many in the so-called “conservative” media have come out against Paul Nehlen, trying to take him down.  We have consistently said that the Rock River Patriots do not endorse candidates, but we will call candidates out when they don’t live up to their promises. Isn’t it funny how many of these “conservative” voices, who claim to be independent and non-establishment, are once again acting as lap dogs and doing the bidding of the big government Republicans?  They tout Paul Ryan’s conservative credentials, yet fail to mention he supported TARP, the bank bailouts, the Patriot  Act, and budgets that are anything but fiscally responsible.  Paul Ryan is credited as being this “budget architect” proposing budget plans that “really cut spending” over a 10 – 20 year window.  Paul Ryan is laughing at his naive supporters, knowing full well that future Congresses will not be held to his budget proposals. Just remember…Don’t trust something at face value just because you hear it…

In mid-February some of the Rock River Patriots met with reporter Nick Carey from Thomas Reuters to talk about the TEA Party / Patriot movement.  In an effort paint a broad portrait of the movement, several reporters traveled around the country meeting with different TEA Party / Patriot groups in a similar fashion. I think the story was fair in its assessment and the GOP should take notice!  It also proves we are not “AstroTurf” or an arm of the Republican Party.
