The Forgotten Man has watched the Tea Party movement since it's inception.  I have often wondered who these people were.  They seemed so ordinary when I see them on television at rally's, town hall meetings and other gatherings.  Are they also Forgotten Men?  After reading this column by Pat Buchanan I think the answer is yes.  Buchanan theorizes here;

"Three Iowa Supreme Court judges who ruled that the state constitution requires recognition of same-sex marriages were denied retention, and Gov. Terry Branstad campaigned for giving Iowans a referendum to decide if they wish to outlaw it.  Tea Party types and Iowa conservatives were not only opposed to the idea of men marrying men, they detest the idea of judicial dictatorship."

"In Arizona, Ward Connerly’s anti-affirmative action initiative, which prohibits race, gender and ethnic preferences, won with 60 percent of the vote. Michigan, California and Washington have already adopted the Connerly amendment.  Tea Partiers also united to back the Arizona law that requires cops to determine the immigration status of any whom, in a routine police encounter, they suspect of being an illegal alien."

"In Oklahoma, a proposition to prohibit use of Shariah law in state courts passed with 70 percent. Shariah law is the basis of law in many Muslim countries, as the Bible was once the basis of much law in America...Oklahoma’s prohibition against any use of Shariah law should be seen as a cry from the heart of America that we are and wish to remain a Western nation, a predominantly Christian country, and we wish to be ruled by our Constitution and laws enacted pursuant to it."

Each of these positions are pretty common sense, middle America responses to the issue.  The Forgotten Man doesn't often write about 'social issues', but many of the principles that Person C stands for apply to things like judicial dictatorship, immigration restrictions and sharia law.  Buchanan gets it right when he writes, "The Tea Party people are rising up to take their country back, and that’s why they’re not going away."  That may be the best description of the principles that The Forgotten Man stands for.
