I was researching political party’s this weekend, because as with most American’s, I am becoming increasingly disenfranchised and disgusted with the so-called ‘status quo’ of politician’s, political process, and two large monopolized Republican and Democrat party system. Both have grown way beyond their original intent and charters, into systems that look out only for their own self interest of maintaining their Party and political power, as the expense of individual liberty and freedom which was the intent behind the American Revolution. 

   I looked at the growing Libertarian Party, but their stance on what are now controlled and illegal drugs goes against my own conscience and common sense.   All one has to do to see the future of ‘legalized’ drugs is to look at the stoners in California who flock to the ‘medical’ marijuana stores.   Alcohol is a drug, it’s legal, and yet, look at the continuing battle people face because of the results of alcohol. At this time in our society’s history, it would not be wise to throw gas on the fire. Maybe in a hundred years, we’ll grow up as a species and it can then be explored once again.

    The Federal Social security system is a platform the LP stands against, but I believe, it is the only modern day system that is viable to withstand the changes that affect private business. If people who worked for Enron, World Com, relied solely on those companies for their ‘retirement’ years, today they would have literally ‘nothing’ to fall back on. Private company’s and individuals are often racked with greed and deception, (Enron, Madoff) and putting all of one’s money into private company’s is not a wise move. Look at giants like GM, once thought to be invincible, but like Goliath, a stone between the eyes took them down.

   I looked at the Constitution Party, which does hold many beliefs that I, and I guess, many Americans retain within us, but their stance on abortion is again, against my conscience and common sense beliefs. Let me explain with a comparison. The Taliban use religion, the Saudi’s use religion, to control their people’s very lives. How can an American, who believes and promotes ‘freedom and individual liberty, tell another person what to do with their body? Much of the Constitution Party’s platform is influenced from the Christian Bible, which conversely, influenced our Fore Fathers and their thoughts. This is a good thing. But, not all Americans are Christian and should not be treated as such nor judged by their actions using the Bible as the standard of law. That is what the Constitution Party stance against abortion comes from. 

   Both of those party’s having failing grades when it comes to our Military. Libertarians believe the U.S. should not be the World’s policeman, a couple million dead people in Cambodia, Rwanda, and elsewhere probably beg to differ. While massive ground forces is not the way to go every time, sometimes a massive amount of aerial firepower could have changed the outcome in several lives.

   The Constitutional Party is against training and sending women into combat, that’s just plain stupid policy in a modern world. The battlefield of the Twenty First Century is ‘everywhere’ and the genetic make-up of human beings in the 21^st Century is such that some females are superior in strength, agility, and inner drive than some ‘males’.  

    On the subject of the U.S. Military, the platform of the Conservative Independence Party would be…the Pentagon wages the war, the politicians wage the peace. No President, nor political party should ever tell the Pentagon ‘how’ to fight. This only – historically proven – has cost the lives of way too many past ‘one’, U.S. Service personnel.   War is not politically correct nor can be fought that way. 

Conservative Independence Party

Motto:

“The government that governs least, governs best.”

    As with the majority of political party’s inside the United States, the Mission Statement is very similar for the Conservative Independence Party. To uphold, promote, and defend the Constitution of the United States and the citizens of the United States of America. To which end, this Party derides it’s power from the People, and only the People, and those powers derived from the original Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights. 

    Another huge problem among the current party system is the ‘party jumpers’. These shallow people jump from party to party, State to State, for the sake of only winning an election, which is a sign of that person’s own self motivation over all others. 

    The Conservative Independence Party would forbid any ‘jumpers’ from joining at last minute to be eligible to run for any office for the period of two years. Even then, the Party leadership at State level would have to vote whether or not to even ‘endorse’ that person as a candidate of the Party, even if that person stated intention to run under the Conservative Independence Party. 

    The C.I.P. shall maintain ‘who’ can remain in the Party as a serving candidate or office holder. A candidate whether running or serving in Office, if found not fit from infractions of the Law and/or public confidence, shall by vote, be allowed to remain or be removed from the C.I.P.    There are numerous examples in both the Republican and Democrat party’s these days, that by graft alone, remain as members of their respective party’s and should by now, be standing before a Court of Law and of their peers for criminal actions.

     States rights are to be held of highest importance to the C.I.P., not a Federally controlling political system which has evolved over the past forty years and which now is a system exerting control over private lives and enterprise in direct confrontation with the Founding Fathers. The C.I.P would strive to reverse this trend and movement to the point that the States and the Individual once again, have self determination over their lives and not a dependent or subservient relation to the Federal Government. 

     Our Fore Fathers gave us the most wonderful opportunity to live our lives, and gave this World, a true model to copy and use for themselves. Unless, we again, seize upon the ideals and freedoms that were bestowed upon us, too soon, they are going to our of our grasp. Under the current political party system, most Americans feel themselves left out or else wise drowned beneath hypocrisy of their current Party’s modus operandi.

    A better political system must come forth in order to save this Nation, one that maintains the base that was built by our Founding Fathers, and yet let’s individuals build upon it for their own prosperity and that of this Nation.
