What is this?
To begin with, this is a call for a political party for the moderately fiscally Conservative and the moderately socially liberal. This is a call for a party that understands the need for responsibility and reform by pragmatic leaders, but also the need for a political stance that points strongly in one direction. It's only just a thought so far, a thought that with Patience and dedication, at may be possible to challenge the status quo in the name of liberty and justice for all.
What would this party be like?
A moderate libertarian party. Smaller (but more than minimal) government. Free-market Environmentalism. Less interventionism. Fewer Restrictions on people and on business. Care for the poor. Improve education with the best of both standpoints. Promotion states rights. Power to the people. All types of power. Political power, social power, economic power, and yes firepower. That's the goal. Specifics will get clearer and clearer with the passage of time.
How would this party be different from...
The Democrats?
It would advocate less government intervention into business, constitutionally limited government, lower taxes, a balanced budget, gun rights, states rights, and property rights.
The Republicans?
It would advocate less government intervention into privacy, the rejection of the bush doctrine of preemptive attacks, emphasis on criminal rehabilitation, environmentalism, an end to marriage restrictions, drug restrictions, and expression restrictions.
The Libertarians?
It would advocate SOME government intervention into business, SOME form of social security, SOME form of welfare, SOME foreign interventionism, SOME social issues left to the states,SOME environmental provisions, and SOME attempt to advocate public morality.
America needs a balanced, reasonable movement towards freedom, and no party around today wants to deliver that. So we shall make one.
