The ridiculousness of Carl Paladino

The tea party is all about small government, and honoring the constitution, right?

Well, I might not understand what their definition of that is then. Take gubernatorial candidate NY Carl Paladino. He’s backed by the tea party. He advocates smaller government. How does he show it? His official position is that the day he takes office, he’s going to use eminent domain to prevent the legal and rightful owners and developers of the property from exercising their Constitutional rights to practice their religion, free of government interference.

Am I the only one that sees a tiny little bit of hypocrisy in that? I'm pretty sure that a small government that has private industry and the public's rights in mind does NOT use eminent domain. Once again, the tea party (and those who stand with them) have made it clear that they stand for the rights of their own, but anybody who’s not like them doesn’t deserve rights.
