    TEA Partiers are typically the most extreme members of the Republican party, and far and away adhere to the Reagan ideal as it's been distorted by radio talk hosts. This includes a prominent role for religion, particularly evangelical Christianity, in political discourse and policies, as well as reduced social programs and increased defense/military spending.

    Libertarians only agree with the reduced social program part of the platform. Most take the "live and let live" line of thought on social issues. Gay rights, abortion, marijuana, and more tend to be much more in line with the Democratic platform. Also, most libertarians view extensive law enforcement and a standing army as a threat to liberty, and so typically support a shift away from federal law enforcement and surveillance and a smaller military in favor of state/local police and national guard/reservist/militia models of military readiness.

    Libertarians are really the bastard children of politics. No one really likes them because they don't neatly identify with any dominant ideology, but they're becoming more developed and prominent as time goes on, typically drawing from the Republican party's members who are... turned off by the Republican social platform.

    Tea party is mostly focused on fiscal issues, libertarians are both social and fiscal.

    I agree with you. The Tea Party functions under the banner of "small government" but they want to force their religious beliefs and practices on everyone through federal control...a contradiction if you ask me.
