Why Pick On The Whigs?

In some past writings I have compared tthe future of the GOP to the old Whig Party….I still think that they are a dinosaur that needs to get a new breath or it will slowly fade as a leading force in American politics.

But Inow wish to apologize to the Whigs for my comparison.  The Modern Whig Party is making a charge to prominence and doing it well.  I came upon their website, http://www.modernwhig.org, by accident and decided that I should check them out—-I was impressed–more so than most other third parties that I have seen.

From their wbsite on Issues:

  • FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY — The Modern Whig philosophy is to empower the states with the resources to handle their unique affairs.
  • ENERGY INDEPENDENCE — Reduce dependence on foreign oil by developing practical sources of alternative energy. This will have the simultaneous effect of changing the national security dynamic.
  • EDUCATION/SCIENTIFIC ADVANCEMENT — Increased public and private emphasis on fields such as space, oceanic, medical and nanotechnology. Also, providing common-sense solutions to enhance our educational system from pre-school to university-level studies.
  • STATES RIGHTS — Each state can generally determine its course of action based on local values and unique needs.
  • SOCIAL PROGRESSION — Government should refrain from legislating morality.
  • VETERANS AFFAIRS — Vigilant advocacy relating to the medical, financial, and overall well-being of our military families and veterans.

Basically, it is a party of independents that see value in some Repub tenets and some Dem….thus their motto…”a party for the rest of us”.

I suggest that if you are disillusioned with your party, then stop by their website and give them a look….they are still in the process of constructing the party but they seem to be doing it right….

I know….I know….this is not much of an agitation….but wait!  It is if you see that I am saying to get rid of the parties we have and start over…..we need a party of the people right now we have NONE.

The Whigs will be seeing more of me in the future…hope to see you there…..

What Will They Do?

To begin with, my father is a screaming racist and a conservative and Republican since 1964 when Goldwater was the man.  In the last election he believed all the emails that he got from his mindless dipshit friends….but Obam being a secret Muslim or a non citizen or going to paint the White House black…..if it was a scare tactic, he got it and believed it.

Of course me being the radical independent that I am he would try to rattle my cage as often as possible by repeating some of the more outrageous claims.  And then McCain was a hero in his eyes because he had been in the military, that was his only qualification and then there was Palin, the wick witch of the North, he liked her for some reason…I do not think he knew why other than she was a Repub.

It was a black day (pun intended) when Obama got elected.  He pissed and moaned about it for days.  Like I have said he liked rattling my cage every chance he got about Obama so I felt like I had to do the same for him….after all I try to be a good son.

Recently the RNC elected Steele to lead them into the future….though he does not have a plan other than to copy Obama’s internet strategy…he will lead them into the future…with the same tired positions they have regurgitating for years.  All that aside, I thought I would rub a little salt in his wound….so I ask what he would do now that we had a black pres and his party, the GOP, was lead by a black dude?

I gave him time for reflection after all he is 88 years old.

He thought for awhile and point at me and said, “go f*ck yourself”.  All in all a good day.
