Judge Andrew Napolitano's Freedom Watch debuted on the Fox Business Network with Sarah Palin and Ron Paul about some of the philosophical differences between libertarian and conservative Tea Party activists. It's really good too.

Make sure to watch all 5 parts. I think it goes a long way towards a productive conservative libertarian fusion.

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3 (Sarah Palin, Ron Paul, Rand Paul)
Part 4 (Ed Rendell, Jim DeMint, Michele Bachmann, Dick Armey)
Part 5 (Ed Rendell, Jim DeMint, Michele Bachmann, Dick Armey)

I believe Sarah Palin, Ron Paul, and Rand Paul are representative of the prominent conservative factions within the movement right now, so it makes for a very interesting exchange.

    [...] Sarah Palin, Ron Paul, Tea Parties … the only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community against his will is to prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical or moral, is not a sufficient warrant. He cannot rightfully be compelled to do or to forbear because it will be better for him to do so, because it will make him happier, because in the opinions of others to do so would be wise or even right. These are good reasons for remonstrating with him, or reasoning with him, or persuading him, or entreating him, but not for compelling him, or visiting him with any evil in case he do otherwise. — John Stuart Mill, On Liberty [1859] [...]
