Third Party & Independents

David Horowitz: What's wrong with the GOP

David Horowitz is a symbol of what's wrong with the Republican Party, and why polls continue to show public approval (PDF) of the Democratic Party higher than the GOP. Horowitz writes a plea for donations to the Freedom Center to stop the new Mosque in New York City. He opens his plea in an email sponsored by GOPUSA, with the following line: "Dear Fellow Conservative, I am sure you've heard about the mosque they want to build on the sacred soil of Ground Zero in New York City." He begins with a bald faced lie, and builds his pitch from there.

The Future For The Great Recession

If Obama becomes a one-term President that will be a good sign that the voting public is wiser than voters in the days of FDR. During the depression era the people were so afraid to vote for change that FDR was able to hang in for near four terms in office. Now, we are looking at a ‘double dip’ and a ‘jobless recovery’ and people want this administration gone. And, by the time 2012 elections roll around I believe they will want Obama ‘gone’ moreso than they wanted Bush ‘gone’.

Tom DeLay: Liberal City No Place to be Tried.

Former U.S. House Majority Leader, Tom DeLay (R) of Texas, is scheduled to stand trial in Austin, Texas. The charge states he illegally sent $190,000 in corporate money through the RNC (Republican National Committee) to help elect GOP Texas legislative candidates in 2002.

VOID Incumbents: Not Refreshment Parties

I have received several inquiries and comments that follow the inquiry: How can an anti-incumbent movement like VOID (Vote Out Incumbents for Democracy) hope to be successful when the right wing Tea Party and the left wing Coffee Party are hijacking the anti-incumbent movement for conservative and liberal purposes? Here is a typical response to these very important inquiries.

Ted Stevens: His Time is Done.

Former Sen. Ted Stevens of Alaska died this morning in an airplane crash. He lived a full life, and many will say he did much to expand the economy of Alaska through the use of federal dollars. For many Alaskans, Ted Stevens was a heroic political figure. All this true and said, Ted Stevens' way of governing, seemingly appropriate for his time in the Senate, is now one of America's greatest liabilities and challenges to overcome. May Ted Stevens and his way of governing rest in peace. The time for fundamental change is well passed due.

Raucous Debate Expected With Mid-term Elections

Midterm elections are coming up in November. This should be a time for serious debate on the issues at hand. Unless there is an intervening issue the economy will be the focus of any debate.

Will The Real Glenn Beck Please Shut Up

Noteworthy, that this weekend the Wash Post published an opinion by Dana Milbank berating Glenn Beck for prophesying death and darkness. Milbank relates that recently a man set off in search of the TIDES Foundation or the ACLU to ‘kill people of importance’. Bryon Williams was shot and captured while wearing body armor, firing at police with a 9mm handgun, carrying a shotgun and a .308-caliber rifle with armor piercing bullets. According to his mother her son had been watching TV and was upset by ‘the way Congress was railroading through all these left-wing agenda items’.

Another War On The Horizon

The primary mission of the Republic Sentry Party is to work for the abolishment of Corporate Personhood. We believe that before we can proceed as nation we must right some wrongs. Few would argue that we are now governed by 'Corpocracy', by the best government money can buy. Corporate Personhood has rendered our congress and courts irrelevant to the citizenry.

Please read this article thoroughly, debate the issue here and with friends, post it on blogsites and help in the effort to make the public aware of the coming battle to abolish Corporate Personhood law. In that endeavor we believe there are two possible paths to overturning this law. It will require the congress acquiese to Article V Convention whereby ratification by the states of a proposal to abolish Corporate Personhood would amend the Constitution to do so. Another path is through a strong third-party movement that could gain influence in congress and press the Supreme Court to abolish Corporate Personhood.

Otherwise, we have the Corpocracy we deserve….

A Snapshot In Time

Ethics: Charlie Rangel, five term Congressman, hits the courts in September, charged with a number of alleged violations. In March he was asked to give up the Chairmanship of the House Ways And Means Committee.

Beck's Latest Rant

Well, I have just watched the ‘show of the century’, IMO. Following the interference of his 5PM show by the apologetic Agriculture Secretary, Tom Vilsack, Beck went on a scathing rampage in eviscerating the MSM and the current administration. Were he not a Libertarian, Hollywood would double his salary on the spot. I do believe no news/entertainment show will ever top his performance this evening, Jul 21st, 2010.

Are You On Board With This?

Does it make sense to you that the U.S. is the only country with an anchor baby policy? Talk about jumping to the front of the line! How did this country get into the anchor baby business? The better question should be, how do we get out of the anchor baby business.

The Ladies Time At Bat

The following article, by the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom, gives a most comprehensive assessment of ills of Corporate Personhood. Interesting that these women go back to the history of the Founder’s, much in the same vein as Glenn Beck, and for the same reason it appears. To know where we should be going we need to know where we came from. Please read the article thoroughly and then let’s have a debate. But, it is clear that as long as the Corpocracy can divide us, as the article alludes, we have slim chance of REAL reform in any sector. Regaining our Republic, our sovereignty, and our Constitution will require a strong united movement with the specific goal of removing the Corpocracy government.

It's Only Getting Worse!

It is only getting worse. This was the message delivered this morning to the National Governor's Association (NGA) by Erskine Bowles (D), and Alan Simpson (R), co-chairs of the President's National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform, a bi-partisan committee to address the growing debt crisis in the making. Their report to the NGA indicates every year reform is delayed, the cost to fix the problems increases dramatically, and the number of Americans who will suffer the consequences of delays rises significantly. There is a time limit, beyond which, reforms will become meaningless.

A Plea To The MidWest

A Sunday Washington Post article reports that the country may not be ready for a complete insurgency relative to anti-incumbency. While acknowledging that the 2010 midterm elections will have major influence over the power structure in Washington, the writer senses that America’s heartland, the Midwest, may be content with the status quo.

Economics: What Most Folks Should Know

Economics is not intuitively grasped. Paul Siegel at WatchBlog wrote an article that prompted my considered response here. Siegel was right in stating that under the right circumstances, specific and targeted spending can increase government revenues, counterbalancing that spending, both in the the near and more distant future. This same kind of non-intuitive economics applies to lowering taxes and increasing revenues, under a very specific set of circumstances, and with specific limits.
