To: PoliticallyShort
I agree with most of what is written in this article, however I do disagree with it in the following ways:

1. Yes, the Republicans should go on the offense and counter the cultural warfare, however the party has devolved into a deep-state leviathan just as corrupt and culpable as the Democrat party. Resting our hopes on the GOP will only result in our destruction as a nation. One need only look at the last 30 years as evidence to my point to see that this is reality.

2. The battle is not with "multiculturalism" as such a term is a misnomer. There are few, if any, individuals who wrap all political concerns solely within the mantle of race. A deeper inspection of those who outwardly do always churns up a Neo-Marxist or Anarcho-Socialist dogmatic belief system which use race as a catalyst for revolution.

3. The goal is not racial equity. It is equity of outcome, which is Communism. This battle is against our age-old Marxist enemies we've been fighting for over 100 years. We defeated them before, so now they have changed their uniforms and are using some new tactics, but everything they do is "in the manual" (see Das Kapital, Communist Manifesto, etc) and they are fighting the same war they always have.

So, my prescription to our current political and social issues, for what it is worth, is thus:

1. Form a new political party dedicated to preserving Conservatism, preserving the Constitution and individual liberty, Promoting Capitalism, and guaranteeing equality of opportunity. Allow the party the power to remove senior members who are opposed to the charter and refuse to follow its principles.

2. Start the civil war and remove the socialists and communists in our midst. I truly wish this wasn't necessary, but I fear we are at the brink already.

3. Reform the Constitution to prevent the federal government form ever having the ability to abuse the peoples constitutional rights (such as removing congressional immunity from criminal charges and forbidding any government employees to enter into collective bargaining cooperatives - Unions - as an example) and prevent any of the member states from reinterpreting or limiting Constitutional rights by any means.

4. Embargo any foreign power that is hard socialist (soft-socialism is fine within reasonable limits) or communist or is opposed to our ideals. We should not do business or exchange anything with those who wish to destroy us.

5. Implement mandatory term limits for all government offices, both elected and unelected, to prevent the emergence of career politicians and bureaucrats. This should extend to all three branches of the federal apparatus. Also make it illegal for any government official in a leadership position from receiving a gift of any kind from anyone while in office and for a period of 5 years after leaving office. The same rules must be applied to the state governments and bureaucracies to prevent the same corruption within their institutions.

6. Pay elected Federal officials a salary comparable to the prevailing average market rate as fortune 500 companies commensurate with the level and responsibilities of the office. We should attract the best and brightest of our society to lead, not relegate it to the leaches.

7. Forbid the nationalization of any industry, market, or organization that does not provide a function of government. This includes healthcare, education, manufacturing, commerce, transportation, art, religious institutions, etc. The federal and state governments may only provide military, police, and judicial services in addition to limited bureaucratic functions necessary to enforce laws.

I could easily go on, but now I'm starting to get into the weeds...
