I'm just scared by his international policies.

Quoted from Michael:
I think I'll be joining the revolution below

The distinction between the Conservative party platform and that of the Libertarian party pertains primarily to social issues (abortion, gay marriage, drug use, prostitution, etc.).  On economic policy and views about the size and power of government, there is much in common.

I took a quiz that I found in a magazine the other day that consisted of a series of 10 or 12 questions.  1/2 of the questions pertained to social issues.  The other half to economic issues.  The score determined your position on the Conservative party-Libertarian party scale.  I scored very close to the threshold between the parties but was on the Conservative party side of the line.

Ron Paul's positions on the economy and the size and power of government have appeal.  Further, he strongly opposes illegal immigration, a position that all of the other remaining candidates have expressed tacit opposition or support.

Quoted from Michael:
And if I may ask a question of anybody here.  Has anybody ever checked to see if the Constitution has ever taken a breath?  I know it sounds like an idiotic question, but there's so many people in the Democratic Party that say's the Constitution is a living, breathing document.  Seems to me it's basic ideals that were put down on paper for people to follow.  It was never meant to be interpreted for more than it states on the paper.

Much like the Bible, the meaning of the words written in the Constitution are being interpreted by those who want to change the founding principles of our nation to suit their personal or political objectives.  The words contained in the Bible, the Constitution, and the Declaration of Independence have not changed, with the exception of amendments to the Constitution.  Their meaning today is the same as it was when the words were written.

BRAVO!! BRAVO!!
Well said Brad. Well said.

Ron Paul.....yeah....go for him....if there is less government control with $$ then that will pull away from government funded liberal ideas such as government funded abortions.....no $$ =no service....this is a very basic American (or human) idea no Bible involved......very simple....strangle the Beasts food chain.....

Quoted from Shadow

I think that it's time for another tea party.

Well, well...Shadow has inadvertently tipped my hand.  The name of this thread was no accident...it was derived from the intended name of the new party I have been working to create for awhile now.  The Boston Tea Party was a seminal event in our history and one that always held special appeal for me.

Platform, slogans, logos, etc are essentially in place already but I'm shooting for an official launch later this year after a fully functional website is complete.

Unofficially....welcome to The Tea Party.

Michael, don't forget to notify me when we're going to throw the tea in the harbour.

Quoted from Shadow

Michael, don't forget to notify me when we're going to throw the tea in the harbour.

Why use a harbor when we have such a nice river?

Ok Kevin we'll use the river it's closer.

Then again, there's always Central Park.

Michael let us all know when the Tea Party will 'launch'!!

Michael,
You must have read Politically Incorrect Guide to American History?

Sorry, Senders I didn't.  Wasn't that book some sort of revisionist history attempt?  I don't go in for that sort of material..or conspiracy theories, etc. either.

No--as for conspiracy theory, there is none...just a dark spiral that we all follow, known or unknown. The closest to conspiracy theory is a 'common enemy theory' and propaganda....

Well, I hope I'm not propagating a dark spiral!     I'm all about the light....really.   Go into the light...or was it DON'T go into the light....I can never remember...
