TIME FOR A REVOLUTION

If this is something freepers want to develop, it might be worth investigating a copyright for this process, because if it works, other forums will want to emulate it.

Lets do this right and set the political landscape on its head. Just one more note, a radically conservative candidate would have little chance of creating enough interest. It would have to be someone who is moderate and open to any view no matter what side of the political environment. That is a position for which I strive and I have changed some of my ideas as a result of debates here on FR. Check my bio. If you are interested, pass the word and let the debates begin - well, as soon as I get back to California would be good, but whenever.

Perhaps the time has come.

I want a government that makes lobbying illegal. I want a government that enforces the immigration laws. I want a country that embraces morality and ethics. I want wars waged to win.

[when the time is right]

Personally I believe Conservatives and Conservative views have no hope unless we get more control of the Media. If we could somehow buy a majority share of ABC NBC or CBS and present programing that contradicts what is being voiced on other stations then we can begin an honest debate.

I live in Virginia and helplessly watched a very good Senator be destroyed by the press and replaced by the village idiot so I truly believe we will get no where unless we begin a revolution against the press

So you think it's time for a revolution?
That time was about 40 years ago when the
Gov't and courts infringed our FREEDOM OF RELIGION
and our right to publicly and openly pray and discuss
our creator.

[sirchtruth]

discuss = acknowledge

[KeepUSfree]

Whose "morality & ethics"??? Yours? Mine? Hillary's? The Taliban's?

Leave the "morals & ethics" to the philosphers and Holy Men - The governments job is to print money, build roads, maintain infrastructure, provide for defense and keep "a semi-level" playing field between the states.

Mixing "morality & ethics" with the power of government is a recipe for disaster...

[Son House]

Low tax rates is what I support.

The longer you put off paying a big debt, the cheaper the dollars are when you pay it off, and letting the 'children' do it won't hurt as bad as some threaten.

First law should be a 6% cap on all tax rates. They could have all the progression they want, from 0% to 6% max.

N0 arbritrary numbers, a stated fixed 6%, while demonizing the double digit taxation.

[StoneColdTaxHater]

This is an idea that has been bouncing around my head for a while as well. Hell, look what How-Weird Dean with the internet. The problem would be to get the MSM to even cover it. More on what I want from a candidate later

[Jim Noble]

We could start at the top , the presidency.

Third "parties" whose reason for being is the Presidency come and go.

Unless you can elect State Reps and Members of Congress, you'll never get anywhere.

[freeangel]

I like it.

[sit-rep]

So IOWs... Diplomacy is the answer? Change the leadership through peaceful means... "...no one should be killed, at least not in a literal sense..." The left uses these same talking points.

Give it up pal... Unless the citizenry would have no problem getting a little bloody over your proposed ideology for change, it ain't never gonna happen. Especially when the grass roots effort is spawned from a PC, Non-Violent Forum....

That's the same as saying... "Hey, let's put a fourth party in charge in Iraq thru peaceful means!"

America is at that awkward stage.
It is too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards. - Claire Wolfe

[Dudoight]

Note that I said that I want a COUNTRY that embraces morals and ethics, not a government...althought that would be a nice bonus.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Eliminate "affirmative action" and all race-based preferences. Restore equality in hiring and college admission to white males.
Eliminate all aspects of PC which make us unsafe against terrorists from within the USA and from outside.
Expel those who use the laws of the USA to preach and practice hate against those who don't accept their ideology.
Eliminate government programs which do not solve the problem but only increase dependency on the government.
Eliminate laws which get in the way of free market transactions.
Control the borders and bar entry to all from countries that sponsor terrorism.
And a few other things as well.
Find someone who can give us that and I'm in.

Become a candidate and debate me. Just wanting is not enough, you have to go out and fight for what you want and before that you better make darn sure that is really what you want because you might get it.

[Hardastarboard]

That quote's been going through my mind quite a bit lately.

[flynmudd]

Warner has turned into a RINO also.

[concerned about politics]

Read Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.
The taxpayers (the evil rich) can strike rather than the usual unions. A tax payer strike would starve the beast. The motor of the world would die.
I'm not saying people should risk losing their lives to the IRS brown shirts. I'm saying stop buying. Stop working over time. Buy used. Avoid paper tails. Do everything possible to avoid paying taxes and feeding the beast. People CAN live on less. They just need to learn how to do it. They need the determination to do it. Just say "no" to massive government.
Eventually, without funding, the government will have no choice but to start listening to those who feed it - the tax slaves.
