"There is nothing new about Tea Party ideology as can be seen in an examination of fundamentalist textbooks used to teach students in some private schools and homeschooling. The Tea Party's "Christian Libertarianism" is a creative repackaging of narratives that have become increasingly popular over the last three decades.  These narratives blend radical free market ideology with theocratic ideology.  In other words, regulatory powers of the federal government would be eradicated and the void would be filled and society controlled through adherence to biblical law."
