Do what needs doing
June 8, 2009 – 9:32 amKudos to our dear friends Mut and SSG for their most excellent efforts and call to original action.
Some Thoughts:
Interesting concept to change from within the Demoncrat party. I agree with Lloyd’s assessment of the republicrats.
I find it HUGELY ironic that a staple of the Donkeys is the annual “Jefferson/Jackson dinner”. Can you imagine Jefferson’s intellectual destruction of the current collectivist left’s ideology and politics? Of course Jackson would simply have killed 10% in duels and horsewhipped the rest of them. Any student of history knows that today’s Asses would have been anathema to the Democratic-Republicans of Jefferson/Madison/Monroe and the subsequent Democrat party of Jackson.
I couldn’t support any Democrat platform I’ve seen State or National and so won’t consider the party of collectivist/socialism. I reject the “me too” Republicrat party although I’m closer to them on economic rhetoric (they never get the actual policy done) and most social issues.
Closer but not nearly close enough.
We need to attract “Jeffersonian” and Jacksonian Democrats OUT of their party or help them eject the union/homosexual/environmentalist/racist interest groups.
We need to attract McKinley/Lincoln (pre-Sumter) types OUT of the Elephant party or help them eject the neo-con/corporate welfare/big government/new world order interest groups.
The bigger question, will the country be destroyed before a Liberty/originalist type party can be formed or one of the rotting carcasses of the big parties be transformed?

One Response to “Do what needs doing”
I am still the most liberal member of our group! As a result of my approach, I have been going back to the writings of Thomas Jefferson:
To take from one because it is thought that his own industry and that of his father’s has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers, have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association—the guarantee to every one of a free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it.
