If I've a complaint about The Republican Party it's that they've shown godlike patience with the behavior of The Democratic Party. Democrats can assault in public those who won't submit to them, destroy property, call for the mutilation ("Lobotomies for Republicans") of opponents, the murder of elected officials who're carrying out their constitutionally mandated duties, and they'll not lift one finger to hurt a single hair on the otherwise useless head of a Democrat. I once told an editor that I worked for that we needn't rhetorically dehumanize our opponents, all we have to do is accurately describe their ideology and behavior because they've by their own choice dehumanized themselves.
To Democrats the fundamental value is power. Freedom is the negation of power and therefore must be opposed. A Democrat wouldn't be caught dead standing up for an actual Human value. Has anyone noticed that The Republicans are clearly once again the party of liberation while The Democrats have resumed their old role as the party of subjugation?
I've proposed starting a new political party.
If The Republican Party doesn't clean up its act then we as rational citizens will
have no choice but to start a new party if we want to peacefully make
changes and restore a rational system of government. Revolutions (real
revolutions, not Marxist ones) happen because the government fails to
function. We in the United States are stuck with two political parties. The leadership of
one party is insane and the leadership of the other party simply doesn't
care. Rank and file members now call establishment members a bunch of Vichy Republicans.
Perhaps its time to start a new political party. Is a new political party possible?
The answer is, I don’t know.
The opponents of chattel slavery proceeded, even with public opposition. We, as opponents of political power, have to. We
need to treat exercises of political power, such as censorship, as
crimes against Humanity. We need to treat bans on firearms and free
speech as the anti-Human acts that they actually are. Our political
elites have apparently forgotten the lesson taught by our original civil
war, that banning freedom doesn’t work. Our political elites tried to
ban the voluntary consumption of alcohol, it didn’t work. Our political
elites tried to ban the voluntary consumption of hard drugs, it doesn’t
work. Our political elites will try to ban the voluntary ownership of
firearms and freedom of speech, it will never work. Our politicians are supposed to do a specific job and they aren't doing
it. We have to start a new political party to go around them. We
don't have a choice.
Let's call our new party the Freedom Party.
Will the Freedom Party replace the Democratic Party?
I don't think so. What's more likely is that the Freedom Party will replace the Republican Party just like the Republicans replaced the Whigs.
