Part 3 -- The Political Stage

Imagine that you are sitting in an auditorium looking up at a stage. On the stage are three chairs -- one to the left side, one in the center, and one to the right side.  A guy sits in each chair. This setup represents the THREE POSITIONS that viable political parties can occupy in a one-day election system. The guys in the chairs represent different parties. They can and do move around to sit in different chairs.

Democrats
(communists, fascists, libs.)
Liberal Left Chair

(imagine the above three groups as the three chairs and spread them out horizontally. I couldn't use any real graphics picture on this blog page)

Part 2 -- Where Should We Go?

Christians and conservatives must move from The Republican Party into The Libertarian Party. This must be done IMMEDIATELY because time is a factor in party building, fund-raising, advertising, etc. Why this Party? Conservatives have long had problems with some platform items of The Libertarian Party. That said, three key points must be realized:

1) The Libertarian Party is the ONLY FULLY VIABLE national party that can be considered on par with the two main establishment parties. Of all the several alternative parties, it is the ONLY one that was on ALL 50 state ballots in this last election. The quickest route to having a replacement party in a 2-party-one-day-election system is to energize an existing viable one rather than to attempt to build a new one from scratch.

2) The original Founding Fathers were a mix of what we today would call conservatives and libertarians. Before they split into actual parties in 1800, these men, working together, wrote The Constitution, Bill of Rights, and The Federalist Papers. They fought a war together and built a country together. Today, we must recreate those same bonds in order to save the country they started. Wayne Allyn Root, who ran as the Vice Presidential candidate on the Libertarian ticket last November, calls himself a mix of conservative, libertarian, and just common sense views. More and more Libertarians are coming around to accepting the pragmatism and necessity of certain conservative ideas. So, an amalgam of ideologies will form the Party platform.

3) To the best of my knowledge, The Insiders, that is, the elitists, super bankers, and the all-around New World Orderists have not taken over The Libertarian Party as they have the two establishment parties. They have smuggly overlooked The Libertarian Party as unimportant and unworthy of their attention while they concentrated on controlling the two main parties. They have also kept their news media and "culture shapers" reinforcing in us the magnanimous virtue of "The Two Party System".

The Libertarian Party had it's best performance ever last November scoring about 6% nationwide. Norm Coleman (Republican) and Al Franken (Democrat) nearly tied at 42% each in Minnesota's Senate race. Where went the other 16% ? That went to the Libertarian candidate! That's pretty close to HALF of what the (eventual) winner got.

I hear more callers to the conservative talk shows begin to catch on to this sentiment and say that they will move over. But, sadly, a whole group of conservatives still hangs on to the belief that they can rebuild and reestablish the Republican Party. Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity seem to form the core of that group. I admire them both, but they don't yet see that the horse has four broken legs. You don't try to glue it's legs back together; It's ready to be turned INTO glue! You just have to shoot it and move on!

Ronald Reagan said, "I didn't leave The Democrat Party. The Democrat Party left me." He meant that The Party moved too far left and that he came to realize that he had been a conservative all along. Still, he actually DID have to get up and MOVE! So do we and for the same reasons!

Tomorrow: Part 3 -- The Political Stage

Part 1 -- Lessons Of Leaven

It is time for all Christians and conservatives to leave The Republican Party. It has long been under the control of the Rockefeller Wing, the so-called "Blue-Bloods" who have always been liberal and somewhat socialist. These have always hated the Christian Right and other true conservatives. The "Blue-Bloods" will NEVER cede leadership of The Party to those in The Party that they actually consider to be more of an enemy than they do the Democrats! The "Blue-Bloods" feel an affinity with liberal Democrats and SHOULD move to join them. We have seen this this Spring with Colin Powell and Arlen Specter. Most, though, will stay in The Party as they have a strong need to feel that they are at the head of something. They feel comfortable with the two-winged one-party system. And, they tolerate us (C. and C.s) ONLY because they need our votes every two years.

Our perspective has keep us in this joke-of-a-party for so long because of the fear that we have had no other place to go and that breaking with the Republican Libs would produce "The Unthinkable" -- Communist Party victories for The House, The Senate, The White House, and The Supreme Court. Well, now "The Unthinkable" has happened and it was the Republican Libs who brought it to us!

Jesus said, "Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees." Leaven, here in His picture, represents sin. He wanted His followers (sheep of the flock) to be unleavened, that is, pure. He went on to say that, "A little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough." When you are trying to bake unleavened bread and you accidently spill some yeast (leaven) onto your lump of dough, you don't try to pick out every little speck of the contamination. Rather, you THROW AWAY THE LUMP and START OVER with a new lump! Likewise, our "Lumpy Party" has been contaminated by the "Blue-Bloods" and we must throw it out. We need a new, fresh Party to work with. And, this time, we must take steps to keep it pure. Beware the leaven of the "Blue-Bloods"!

Tomorrow: Part 2 -- Where Should we Go?

desired books --

Liberty And Tyranny, by Mark Levin, 2009

This is a VERY important book. I read it in 1996. If it had been read and heeded by our elite political class, we might not be in such a frightening situation today. Government is now so remote from our simple, basic humanity that it is no longer an entity that serves us. Rather, it acts like some extraterrestrial power that has enslaved us. Lawyers make up government. They wright the laws and churn out the rules. To quote Mr. Howard (himself an attorney), "It's (government) actions have an arbitrary quality. It almost never deals with real life problems in a way that reflects an understanding of the situation." (pg. 9).

It seems to be fallen human nature to make rules as precise as possible. Rule making in the attempt to reach a universal certainty for every possible situation has become almost a religion for The Control Class. Their striving for certainty has built a "legal colossus unprecedented in the history of civilization." (pg. 10). And, "The more precise the rule, the less sensible law seems to be." (pg. 15). The modern legal ethos is: "The words of law will tell us exactly what to do. Judgment is foreclosed not simply by the language of the words. It is foreclosed by the belief that judgment has no place in the application of law." (pg. 18). Lawyers focus on legal language as if it were an oracle. They can't act without it's permission. I could go on and on with the quotes. There are too many great ones to type in here. I would be printing the whole book and would end up in big trouble. Well, what the heck, maybe just a few more.

Vaclev Havel compared communist societies to western ones and, "Modern regulatory law resembles central planning. The failing is the same: Rigidity of legal dictates precludes the exercise of judgment at the time and place of the activity." (pg. 21). And, "The Soviets tried to run their country like a puppeteer pulling millions of strings. In our country, the words of law are like millions of trip wires, preventing us from doing the sensible thing." (pg. 21). At the beginnings of this mess, some reasoned that massive laws would protect us from government bureaucrats and petty tyrants. But just the opposite occurs! "Looming over us is a larger, more troubling paradox: The quest for protection through certainty results in arbitrary power." And, "When laws cannot be complied with, individual officials, . . . have complete power." (pg. 32). How about this one: "When the law loses it's connection to common sense, no internal compass can guide people as to right and wrong." (pg. 40). There are numerous quotes from Justices and philosophers. Topics such as "diversity", "loopholes", "parsing", "logical intrigue", "government convulsions", "rationalism", "socialism", "culture of resistance", "the velvet trap of process", "handing out rights like land grants", "risk aversion", "discrimination claims", "entitlement", "political correctness", "thought crime", and "the welfare state".

Actually, you should probably read this book's 187 pages every weekend for the rest of your life! You wil either go insane over the frustrations of life, or else you will turn into the next Solomon!

Am I missing something again? Has anyone even THOUGHT of being BRAVE by standing his ground to appeal even ONE of these FACIST takeovers of corporations, banks, brokerage houses, etc. to the U. S. Supreme Court? None of us voted for this! Who says the guy in The White House can fire the CEO of General Motors? If any worker on GM's assembly line had dropped his tools, gone up to Rick Wagoner's office and "fired" him, Wagoner would have had the worker fired and escorted out by guards. Yet, another man who has no more authority over Wagoner than that worker caused Wagoner to turn chicken, dutifully obey, and abandon his job! Do we have ONLY weenie-wooses and girlie-men heading our major companies? If there had been ONE man of courage, we should have seen ONE case on The Court's docket. If ALL CEO's and boards just give in to this EVIL, then the country will truly be OVER. And we had better see SOME decision soon by The Court about this RAPE OF AMERICA while The Court is still mostly conservative. Justice Souter just announced that he will step down in June. The Republicans have ONLY this last chance to save the country by blocking Obama's nominees! If they WIMP-OUT as they did in 1993 by almost unanimously allowing Ginsburg on The Court, then not only the country but also the whole world will be FINISHED. Communism and Islam will have WON. Then they will settle with each other in some final war for domination while whatever few christians and conservatives who may happen to still be alive will weep in horror from their hideouts! Is it better to fear God or to fear men? Happy May Day! You may have to get used to them!
