Both major parties are controlled by big government supporters advocating foreign entanglements through military action and trade deals.

If a voter wants a conservative American government, always vote for gridlock.

"Moderates are those who think for themselves, rather than have to be told how to think."

No, moderates are confused as to what to think. Liberals just belong in an insane asylum, so few of their nostrums have ever worked. Conservatives are the only rational ones (as long as they learn from their errors)

"People who steadfastly assert that they are "not afraid" are almost always lying."

Good grief, CB. What is there to be afraid of? Sheesh. If my opinion of conservatives and conservatism was based entirely on what I read on FR I would be led to believe that 90% of what conservatives stands for is trashing 'Rats and the MSM.

If I'm afraid I'm much more afraid of "RINO's" than I am of 'Rats. At least with a 'Rat you know what you're getting. It's the old adage: "the devil I know ..."

Unfortunately, they never do. One would think they would run out of feet to shoot.

There is an "unthinking" conservative, who does thing by rote, who I find disturbing as well. There may only be 20% of the population that really knows what is going on, and can explain it to anyone else.

I'm 40 years old, I can't afford to wait till I'm dead for a new "conservative" party to arise and have the country flushed down the tubes by the democrats.

I know EXACTLY how you feel. I'm almost 60, I voted R for 35 years and watched America slip and slide into the sad state we are in today because of RINO's and a dysfunctional RNC. I feel stupid that I didn't start supporting a third party when I was your age.

Right now we have these free trade agreements, GATT, NAFTA, & CAFTA. What are they? They are sovereignty destructive tools designed by the CFR and the UN that have removed 90% of our heavy manufacturing from CONUS and redistributed the plants around the world into third world countries that benefit only international EU companies. I have watched thousands of American companies smoothly sold to foreign ownerships with the jobs outsourced from our soil.

The last thing Bush wants is secure borders because of the last trade agreement which opens the entire continent to free trade. The Agenda 21 Plan is about balancing the population across the entire continent and balancing national economies. There isn't a word in their about US national sovereignty.

I have watched our once secure ports and shipping industries decimated by the Bush1 and Bush2 administrations. The Chinese have more control over what is shipped to America than the American citizens do.

The national deficit is over 8 TRILLION dollars, the price of transportation has been steadily rising at the hands of sleazy bastards who think a dollar is more important than national security. Do you realize how shaky our entire airline industry is today because of rising fuel costs?

Yet we have billions of gallons of oil under our own topsoil that this administration is wimping along saying they want to drill for. Like hell they do. When was the last refinery built on American soil? Thirty years ago or longer? Strengthening American industry is not what this administration is working for. They are working for the exact opposite!

Bringing in 30 million people with an average IQ score of 85 is not what one does to build strong nations. Bringing in people who have no desire to assimilate, just steal and plunder from the citizens isn't what the Presidential oath is about.

It is time that you do some real deep thinking about helping to design and build a strong third party that uses our Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution as the base documents instead of the Communist Manifesto.

[. . .Communism is not the absence of capitalism, it is state capitalism where the elite, those who run the state, are the only capitalists and the rest of the people are the capital, i.e. slaves. Under our system, I have a chance to be a capitalist by having a small business and running it. Under theirs, they run me. Communism is nothing more than a gigantic state-run slave plantation.]

4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.

Enough, you are intelligent, do your own clear minded research and you'll see we are being dragged down by the two political parties we now have.

Could be but I suspect there is there's an even larger percentage of Americans who just think they know what's going on and include foot-shooting as part of their plan to correct things.

Dittos, ElPatriota. This country survived decades of 'Rat control. It wasn't pretty, and it took conservatives decades to come up with a mandate that Americans wanted, BUT IT HAPPENED. And it can happen again.

Sure.. I remember when the Reps were considered just the party of the rich... whose only interest was to make money, and nothing else. Well, it may have been at one time, but they did change. As the Rats became the party of perversion, many of us move to other one, where our values are respected (if not re veered by everyone). And just as the Rats move more left every day (homosexuality becoming the main engine for this change), we on this side accentuate our values as well as we are forced to defend them. As the LSM (former M :) moves to the left, we see a new media, our media, flourishing as well as they reflect our views.

What I am saying you ask? I don't know really - LOL - but I am saying "something," I am sure... hmmm.. :)

Oh yeah, it came to me: Winning, sometimes is not winning... and losing, may lead to winning So, I would not be afraid if we lost seats or a house, or the presidency.. because I know that would makes even hungrier and more determined to elect the right people next time around. And... politicians will FEAR US even if the don't respect us, because they will realize that "this is a new ball-game." New rules are to be followed.

A lot smaller.


1. Many Republicans are not conservative.
2. Many conservatives don't agree on what conservative is - we disagree on when the power of the government should be used legislating morality and foreign intervention for example.

John Mcain, the man who put Hillary in the White House

McCain won't get half-way through the primaries before he drops out. That is if he runs at all. He's toast the republican base will not stand for this liberal getting the nomination.

It would look like a small minority party from the authoritarian fringe that is out of office, has no hope of attaining power and has little or no authority to do anything whatsoever but complain..

LOL! McCain is not a liberal. Not even close.

He is plainly nuts....His personality is defective!

I find it amusing that self described true conservatives label anyone who is the slightest bit socially moderate as a general liberal without hesitation and any explanations.

This is why this type of conservative causes so much grief within the party. This is why the RNC only pays lip service to this group and always has.

Always will.....

Closed minds have no room for anything, including thinking for themselves.
