A new political party.

I just found this and thought it looked interesting. This is what a party should stand for.

Missouri's Constitution Party is one that appeals to me somewhat.
(I once wrote an article about this which was published by Human Event Online - http://humanevents.com/author/allan-j... ).
Cease Enabling
Take Power
Make changes
in that order. until the frist step is accomplished the rest is just theory with out a chance. i see too many sell outs who don't give a dam about anything except there narrowly focused immediate needs.
For one year I've said this ...the next president will get 95% of the vote. either by direct ballot or by winner take all or by the weaklings selling out. the country again.
Note: A vote for a right wing of the left wing insider is still a vote for the socialist party A vote for the left wing of the left the same. A vote obtained by trickery such as winner take all is still a vote for left wing fascism. a lesser of is a vote by some big time weaklings attempting to justify their support of left wing fascist socialism.
i'd rather go to step two and encourage the military to honor their oath of office. Odds are far better.
You got one outside chance. Anyone that doesn't take it is from two camps.
a. left wing activists such as Buchanan othere such worms and snakes trying to play pretend conservative....
b. left wing of the left openly anti-constitution pro national or international sociaists.
I dont give a damn about socialist defintions. The only one that couonts is
Left = Government over citizens
Center - the constitution
Right citizens over government
it works for me in all situations.
What possibility?
Only one left standing. I don't care for him but he is the only none left wing fascist socialist left stranding. Cruz. I'd rather vote for a Constitutionalist but the splinter groups of the right are more bout their narrow definition than accomplishing anything... thus they qualify as enablers
I wound up signing a petition asking for the Libertarian Party to appear on the Alabama ballot of the general election.
This surprised me. I've voted for a libertarian before in the same building.
Me old dino not know everytink. Yeah.
Reason why me read Gulch. Uh-huh.
Tanks fer advisin'. y'all. Yepyepyep yowie!
I agree not all ideas being represented, but lately I'm thinking it's more important to have a working framework that limits gov't power. Then it's less important that everyone's opinion on everything be reflected in gov't. We should, IMHO, resist any urges to nitpick the the Libertarian party, this party you linked to, or anyont trying to limit gov't. We should urge them to join forces on under the one goal of limiting gov't intrusiveness and cost.
I am a in favor of multiple political parties. I think one of the problems with the current Republican Party is that they are trying to be too much to too many, resulting in fracturing and internal division. They'd be much better off focusing on a set ideology of government and campaigning on it. Let Libertarians, Constitutionalists, Tea Parties, Blue Dogs, Greens, et al fill in the gaps.
I've always liked Mark Hamilton's Prime Law©
It's premise actually underlays the constitution only very direct...simple stupid.
I do have two nits to pick... First is the symbol at the top of the pages... the helix is cute, but doesn't convey any inherent 'good symbolism' I could recognize... as well as looking a lot like a "screw" which would be fodder for antagonists.
Second, there's no "feedback" or 'contact us' link, so when I got to this line,...
"We understand that American health care, by physicians around the globe, is acknowledged as the world's finest. As but one example, vastly more English, French, and German men die of prostate cancer than do American men. But American medical care has become prodigiously expensive." , there was no place for me to suggest rewriting that so it would look/sound a LOT better...
Basically, I like it and will be sharing the link with my email lists.
Thanks!
But, he does have one thing going for him. He is Really pissing the GOP establishment off. He is making them crazy over the possibility that they will no longer have the corrupt power over the people that they now exploit. I believe that they have elevated Rubio to Dauphin and promised him -- probably big bucks for his campaign to go after Trump with sharp knives and the soul of a butcher. The difference in his speeches of late compared to just a couple of weeks ago is startling. I'm just jaded enough to believe that it's not only because he wants to win, but some additional motive.
Reason is boring. BORING. Mystics and social reformers with vast plans are EXCITING. "Watch closely! My fingers never leave my hand." (Other hand removes money from pocket.)
Additional problem. Capitalism is already well established as intrinsically evil. "Only right-wing nut cases like Ann Rand and the Kock Brothers support it." 120 years of progressive education paved the way for our current demise.
Great find Rich!
suggestion...change "freedom of religion" to "freedom FROM religion"..
suggestion...declare for a republic and not a democracy...the vote is earned by those who produce....taking assistance from the state (i.e., taxpayers, results in the immediate loss of the franchise to vote)
question...where do you fall on unborn life???...does the state own a woman's body???

in prison ... IMHO. -- j

Starting a new party is very difficult and especially so for a party supporting freedom.
There must be media coverage, and any people or party supporting freedom will be either ignored or laughed by the media, or both.
Well, the Libertarian Party has been around for more than 40 years. It has infrastructure and some experience.
And supposedly the people who come to this site are in favor of freedom, free markets and free minds, so why not do the smart thing and get involved with the party that already exists?
I've learned the hard way that, if you spend a little money for Tea Party membership, there are at least three other Tea Party groups still asking you to join.
I have backed off from that confusion.
A$ for email, I once $ent thi$ reply: "Will anyone be taking a family Caribbean cui$e with $ome of thi$ money?"
No reply to my reply.. I $ent no $$$.
Will look into this further. Thanks!
The Canary Party, for example, is the only one that draws a line in the sand as far as our own bodies go - the only one who argues for informed consent and the sanctity of our own choices regarding our health. Nobody else does that. It's important to me. So, I'm in. If this new party mentioned here is really serious about creating a new paradigm, and new open discussion about how much money is being taken from us I'll be in.
