Beauprez's record of radical and extreme comments

Beauprez's support of the Tea Party:

August 27, 2014 Beauprez stated on KLZ radio that the Tea Party is the healthiest thing in America—

Beauprez:  "this is the healthiest civic movement I've seen in my lifetime. People stood up to say I want to save this republic, want my govt back…this uprising we call the tea party movement is the healthiest thing in America."

February 2010: On the "The Right Side w/Keith & Jonathan Michael," Beauprez talks about the Tea Party and he says, "Tea partiers are patriots. As healthy of a movement as I think I have ever witnessed in my life, and I'm 61. I don't think I've ever seen an honest, genuine, uprising based on principle of American patriots like this movement has been." [February 2010]

Beauprez's Support for Secession:

Beauprez said that "in politics today there seems to be no room for compromise, so perhaps secession is the only way to ensure that minorities have a political voice." He said, "If we are going to continue to have these ideological battles that end up maybe not moving in a very positive direction and ending in good government, just different government, maybe we ought to just go our separate ways. Why don't you run your state and we'll run ours." (Voice of America News, September 16, 2013)[September 2013]

Beauprez talked about chips being implanted in people:

"When they can start tracking us with a little microchip, and the technology certainly exists, and you watch the people who would line up voluntarily so that gee if you forgot your driver's license, no problem, you've got the RFID implanted in you. If you've got to get through the airport, no problem, you've got RFID. 'Well, sure, I want one of those, I want one of those.' And you watch like sheep how they would line up behind some kind of a dopey system like that without ever realizing how much freedom they just forfeited," he said.
