Question by D.R., East-Coast Elitist: “”The spirit of Jefferson Davis lives in the 1984 Republican platform.”, – Trent Lott, how do Republicans feel?
about this statement?

I say he had it right on cue. The Republican Party is the modern day Democrats of old.

Racist, inbred, based in the South, un-American, the list goes on and on.

Article by Derek Thomas

Roger Williams, former Secretary of State, is preparing to join the battle for the TX senate next year, so far he’s collected recommendations from numerous notable political figures, which include Former commander-in-chief G. Bush who supported his campaign. Similar to almost all of the republican hopefuls he promotes a balanced spending budget and reports that he would undoubtedly rubber stamp an Amendment which would ensure it is unlawful for the government spend above the projected budget for the budgetary year.

Williams encouraged reducing government by implementing massive change to entitlement plans along the lines of social security and Medicare insurance. To take care of the troubles with social security. He would like to privatize social security to take your money from the economically freewheeling government and commit that money to the business industry. Medicare insurance beneficiaries need to be granted a check in order to opt for their health care in the non-public market in an effort to get the least expensive and most efficient treatment.

Williams supports equally a flat as well as FairTax method and believes that either strategy is more advanced than the current disorganized tax code that delivers ways out of having to pay taxes and also produces obstructions to companies. A flat tax would trigger a predetermined level that each family unit pays on salary and takes away the complicated tax rules altogether. The FairTax would get rid of all government taxation and employ a product sales tax in which you pay the taxes on purchased goods.

Just like all senate hopefuls in the state Williams addresses the dilemma of unlawful laborers by indicating we have to enhance border defense and establish a tough policy on foreign people that cross over our border unlawfully, his political campaign site doesn’t mention exactly how he would accomplish this. Williams pushes harder by saying those that get to the back of the line and come in America legally ought to be mandated to learn English so we ought to make English our standard language for the country.

Roger Williams tackles social republican issues as well and declares he’s absolutely always been Against abortion and believes that if an egg is concepted existence starts and doesn’t stop until all-natural death, he says he would not want anyone ‘messing’ with Second amendment liberties, and he declares a marriage requires just one man and one woman. He would take the position to combat any regulation that tries to revise marriage.

Williams could have a solid support system due to the fact he is actually a well-recognized politician compared with several of the alternative conservative competitors for the seat. He was formerly picked by Rick Perry for the job as Secretary in ’05 till he quit in ’07 to explore other opportunities. He may have an excellent starting edge if he is able to bring up enough funds for his political campaign.

Question by : Am I too “liberal” to be a Republican?
I’m a registered Republican and have always considered myself to be a “conservative”, but now I’m starting to question many of the things I’ve believed my whole life. Now I’m starting to wonder if I still belong in the Republican party anymore….

Here the “Republican” views I have:

-strongly against abortion (except for the life of the mother)
-strongly pro-gun rights
-pro-business
-anti-work unions
-strongly against affirmative action
-GOVERNMENT SPENDING NEEDS TO STOP NOW!!!!!!!!
-for the full repeal of Obamacare
-concerned about national defense
-fully support the extra security measures at the airport, including full-body scanners and “touching people’s junks”, safety and people’s lives are more important
-Tough measures need to be taken against Iran and North Korea
-For the most part fiscally conservative and I believe in free enterprise, however I think that capitalism has lots of loopholes that need to be fixed.
-limited government
-against the legalization of marijuana
-the “War on Drugs” needs to continue
-If it were possible, I would love for tobacco and alcohol to be banned, they ruin lives

Here are the “Democrat” views I have:

-pro-gay rights, pro-gay marriage
-strongly against “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”
-atheist
-religion doesn’t belong in government or politics, America should be a secular nation
-I’m strongly against Islamaphobia, most Muslims in the world are peaceful people. Its only the radical nutjobs that are the terrorists.
-America needs to stop policing the world, we need to pull our troops out of Germany, Italy, Japan and South Korea, they are our allies.
-Due to the high national debt, taxes are probably going to have to be raised whether we like it or not.
-For the most part support diplomacy (except for Iran and North Korea, I don’t think that its possible to negotiate with them anymore)
-Based on history, I don’t believe that the United States is such a great country as we have been made to believe. There are lots of hypocrisies.

Here are issues that I’m “on the fence” about:

-death penalty
-illegal immigration
-Ground Zero Mosque/Community Center
-welfare

My philospohy of government is that it should stay out of people’s lives except when people interfere with other people’s rights. For example, I’m for gay marriage because it doesn’t harm anybody, but I’m strongly against abortion because it interfere’s with a baby’s right to life. Basically, I believe that one should have the freedom to do anything as long as it doesn’t impinge upon the natural rights of others.

I suppose I belong more with the Independents or the Libertarian party, but unfortunately I live in the stupid state of New York, where there are closed primaries. That means that only Republicans can vote in Republican primaries, only Democrats can vote in Democrat primaries. Independents and third parties cannot vote in primaries at all! I believe that primaries are the most important part of an election, so a primary vote is very important to me. So I am forced to choose between being registered to the lesser of two evils, either a Republican or Democrat.

So here’s my question: Do you think that I still belong in the Republican party? Or should I switch to the Democrat party? And Independent or third parties aren’t an option for me.
No one has really answered my question: Am I more of a Republican or Democrat?
I…can’t…be…an…Independent. I already told you- I won’t be able to vote in the primaries.

Ronald Reagan would be too liberal to be a 2011 Republican, and that’s not meant to be a joke either.

Black Puritan, Black Republican: The Life and Thought of Lemuel Haynes, 1753-1833 (Religion in America Life)

Born in Connecticut, Lemuel Haynes was first an indentured servant, then a soldier in the Continental Army, and, in 1785, an ordained congregational minister. Haynes's writings constitute the fullest record of a black man's religion, social thought, and opposition to slavery in the late-18th and early-19th century. Drawing on both published and rare unpublished sources, John Saillant here offers the first comprehensive study of Haynes and his thought.

As much fun as it will be watching them burn their own house down when they realize that no one likes obstructionists except partisan hacks.
