My Dream Political Party

With all the BS on the news today coming from our two favorite parties, Dem and Rep I got thinking on the way into work today – what would a good party look like. . . .

Well here is my list of what I would like to see in the mythical Reality party –

Pro Constitution – That means all of it. . . protect free speech, gun rights, equal rights under law – the whole thing.

Pro America – I am sick of hearing how bad we are and how we cause all the grief in the world. I want a party that wants a strong USA, protects our borders while encouraging LEGAL immigration for people who want to become American and can help us move forward

Supports our Culture – This country should run on ENGLISH. You can come here but you need to adapt to us, not us to you. Sure, keep your culture at home and teach your kids where they came from but know that you are now American, so act like one. In government and business you will use ENGLISH like everyone else.

Pro Choice – on lots of stuff. The government has no right to tell you what you can and can not do with your body if you are an adult. You should have access to abortion if you want, it is your choice, the government is not the be all end all choice on morals. Just because I don’t believe in it does not give me the right to enforce it on you.

Gets out of our lives – get out of the sports business, and the drug business for that fact. You want to kill yourself on steroids or drugs that is your problem. As long as you don’t do anything that can harm others like drive while stoned then I don’t see how I have the right to stop you. On the flip side, don’t expect me to pay for your medical bills or health care if you are self destructive either. It all boils down to personal responsibility – you want to play they you get to pay the bills too.

Stop being the world’s policeman – The founding fathers never intended to have us get involved in other countries. What they do is their problem not ours. If they don’t have the guts to change the government then why should we? The only interaction our founders wanted with the outside world was free trade. As long as countries don’t interfere with our trade or pose a clean and imminent danger to us then we have no right to harm them.

Small Government means less taxes – we need to cut through all the BS. We have so many redundant bureaucrats that I am sure we have a Department of Redundancy Department somewhere in DC. I mean look at it – we have an FBI and Homeland Security? Don’t they do the same thing? The FBI was good enough to do it all back in WWII why do we need another department now? Small government is good folks, it gets them out of your life (and your wallet) and leaves them to do the job that it was met to do on the Fed level and nothing more.

Get out of our Schools – stop trying to teach our kids to be robots and get out of their heads. Let us go back to teaching the important stuff like how to think for themselves. . . Let us teach them history and math and science so they can go forward and be successful. I realize this is bad for the liberals and they would die out if free thought caught on but that would be a good thing. . . .
