Where Is My Party?

I think it’s high time we have a REAL third party. The two party system was great when there were actually differences between the two parties. Now we have one party that’s for high taxes and the other is for higher taxes. One party claims they have a plan for Iraq, although its not working that well. The other party claims to have a plan for Iraq, but hasn’t told anybody what it is yet. Both parties are riddled with scandals and cover ups and cover ups of the cover ups. While the Republican Party was once a party who claimed virtue and family values it has now become the party of corruption and shame and thus no different than their counterparts on the other side of the isle. Thus, in essence there really is only one party.

Hence, it is time for the lazy Libertarians to come out of hiding and take advantage of this chaos and get organized. If there was an active third party, it would prevent our representatives from becoming complacent. I think that the GOP has become too comfortable with their majority over the last number of years and feel they are invincible. It is time to show them that they represent the people and not vice versa.

The purpose of the government is to protect and defend this great country of ours. (See Article 1 § 8, United States Constitution). Since we are in a time of war and the most important issue of this era is keeping this country and our allies around the world safe from the Islamo – Nazis who wish to destroy us. They don’t care if we have gay marriage or not; if we abort unborn babies before they are born or not; if we believe in privatizing social security or not; if we believe in lower taxes or not; if we believe that the United States needs to build a wall on our southern border or not. They want to kill us if we vote red, blue or green.

Over the past few weeks the media has made us come to believe that the GOP has fallen apart at its core, which may or may not be the case. They have led the public to believe that a congressman having a sex chat with a sixteen year old boy is the worst catastrophe that this country has faced in decades. Whether the IM chats were a prank staged by the page or not, its over, he is gone. Next. Bob Ney admitted he is a crook and took bribes from Jack Abramoff. He was just taking a page out of Congressmen William Jefferson’s (D-La) handbook. (Jefferson is still in Congress) Ney probably had no more room in his freezer. Next. By the way, has Sandy Berger ever been punished for shoplifting at the National Archives? I think negative.

Thank god I still have somewhat of a thinking brain after spending all this time in law school (where moral relativity is the order of the day). I can ignore the media, I can ignore the scandals and I can ignore the corruption. I can’t ignore the nuclear bomb, I can’t ignore the suicide bombers, I can’t ignore bombs in pizzerias or discothèques, I can’t ignore the sound of mothers crying for their children who were murdered at the merciless hands of the Islamo – Nazis. Thus, my vote will go to the party, albeit a bit bedraggled right now, who at least claims to be strong in fighting this vicious enemy and take the fight to them. My vote will not go to the party who wants to take the enemy for Starbucks.
