What’s the Difference?
This is a semantics game. One must first define “conservative”. We believe in conserving the Constitution. The GOP believes in conserving power.
Here are a few things that the Constitution Party believes in which the Republicans obviously do not:
- Repeal the 16th Amendment. Forget “Flat Tax” and “Fair Tax” schemes. The Income Tax is a boondoggle, a cesspool of corruption and a tool for persecuting political enemies. Let’s shut it down; allow all those employees to find productive jobs; save billions on compliance; eliminate the fear we all feel when we see a letter from IRS; etc. (Replace it with The Founders Solution to deficit spending.)
- Repeal the 17th Amendment. The States created the federal government, as a servant to the States and the People. The 17th disenfranchised the States, totally destroying state sovereignty. The States cannot stand up to the Feds without a vote in Congress. The Founders would have never approved the Constitution with this provision, and we should repeal it immediately.
- Balance the Budget. The Founders said that when there is a deficit, it does not roll over and accrue interest. Instead, an invoice is sent to the States, by apportionment. How they pay that bill is their problem – it’s a State’s Right issue! And if they don’t pay it, well, there will be no more federal funding for that State until they do. It’s that simple.
- Phase out EVERY unconstitutional bureaucracy and agency in the Federal Government. Few Republicans will call for that, certainly not a majority of them. This will balance the budget. Period.
In other words, we call for a return to the Constitution of the United States. Republicans use those same words, but they don’t believe it, and their voting record is the proof.
You like socialism? Then you keep voting Republican, because we could not have this mess today without the endless and willing collusion between the National Socialist Party (Republicans) and the International Socialist Party (Democrats). Sure, there are differences between them, they hate each other, etc. But it’s the same hate that the Nazis and the Communists had for each other, and both were socialist, by definition.
Republicans want to continue deficit spending, continue the tax on your personal income, continue with unconstitutional powers in the national government, continue no-win wars, for one simple reason – they are addicted to power. It’s the ultimate aphrodisiac, and they are all drunk with it. The Constitution means nothing to most elected officials, and less to Republican Party Bosses.
Imagine living in Poland in 1939. You could collaborate with the Germans, or you could collaborate with the Russians. What kind of a choice was that? That is where the American people are today – in choosing “the lesser of two evils”, they choose evil. You think you would have been part of the Resistance Movement in Poland? Or would you have just tried to keep your head down and avoided rocking the boat?
It doesn’t matter if you like it or not, my friend, you were born on a battlefield, and there are no neutral positions. Either you stand up for Liberty, for the sake of your children and their children, or you are a traitor to them and to your country. (Some Poles did make that decision – some joined the Communists to fight the Nazis. Some joined the Nazis to fight the Communists. And some refused to accept those as the only two alternatives, even though they were a small, dedicated minority.
I am less concerned with winning the election in front of me than I am with how my grandchildren will perceive my efforts to restore Constitutional freedoms to them.
We are sustained by small, regular donations from folks just like you. It’s your choice.
