Can't disagree. Once you become a "party" then sooner or later you lose your real raison d'etre (Biblical American values embodied in among other things, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution) and start to put a premium on your own perpetuation. You lose the edge of, "Give me liberty or give me death."

Need I remind you that Mr. Henry's famous line was delivered at a time when the Founders, including Mr. Henry himself, were actively organizing on a national level -- that is, doing precisely what the folks on this thread do not want to do?

What's wrong with following the Founders' example? I mean, of course, aside from running against the grain of the pridefulness of those who object to being organized, that is.

There is no need to assume that this will create a "Party," although it's possible that it could become one. It's a set of ideas that need to be broadcast and sold, and it's truly a vital project -- one that really needs to be done on a national basis, with the resources that only a national organization can marshal.

One might even contemplate it becoming something like the original Republicans, who replaced the feckless Whigs in the 1850s.

I am curious since you are much in favor of this federation move...very enthused I might add...would lend me to wonder if you are working for or are intending to vote a third party candidate like Paul or some other? Just wondering as your posts seem politically driven rather than opinion driven.

I like the heart here. It’s close to my heart. We want freedom, not more "authority." If we live by our values, we don't need this unbelievable overload of law and authority, regulation and “regulators” (whatever they are).

We are first-hand witnesses of what figuratively may be called the patients running the asylum and what in fact is atheism run amok – tyranny. May the fire of this movement burn out the dross and purify our country like gold for a better future than our recent past.

>>What's wrong with following the Founders' example?

The Founder's temples were built within the hearts of individuals; not in collective sheeple herding mills headed by insurance-peddling wolves.

>>It's a set of ideas





Is your Moral Compass calibrated better than the one you used to say the Arkansas flows West...?
