In a Populist America, social issues will be decided by you, your family and your neighbors - in your community only. You'll always have the ability to vote with your feet, and move to areas not affected by laws you don't agree with.

We cannot have freedom, peace, and prosperity when the Federal government is telling every American school what to do; when the Federal government is forcing mandates and laws down the throats of state and local governments; and when the Federal government directly taxes every American only to use that money for the expansion of power.

2) You don't want the FEDERAL government ramming laws down your throat - but it's okay for local and state laws to be rammed down your throat, apparently.

So it all SOUNDS nice, but it doesn't really hold much water when you start throwing hypothetical real-world problems at it.

I hate Zionistas as much as any reasonable dude, but those guys take it to PN's levels of goofiness, and worse, THEY seem to actually mean it.

I'd not be too keen on the idea of exchanging one set of intolerant lunatics for another, especially since mine own theological beliefs would prolly be offensive to em.

That said, anything that sticks in AIPACs craw, I ain't too likely to waste time interfering with, neither, and boy do they.

In 1984, Willis Carto was involved in starting a new political party called the Populist Party. It quickly fell out of his hands in a hostile takeover by disgruntled former associates. Critics asserted that this Populist Party (not to be confused with the Populist Party of 1889) was little more than an electoral vehicle for current and former Ku Klux Klan and Christian Identity members. Olympic athlete Bob Richards (1984), David Duke (a founder of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan and a future Louisiana state representative, 1988) and former Green Beret Bo Gritz (1992) were the Populist Party's only three presidential candidates. It folded before it could nominate a candidate for the 1996 elections.

Being a Reagan Republican means you WANT Little Gov't to have Big power & better deniability. Oh, and a leader that's just a little out of it.

Best way to keep those nasty checks & balances at bay, eh?
