There is a great Party out there called the Constitution Party, formerly known as the Taxpayer Party founded by Howard Phillips. I wish the so called conservatives would join this party. I know I’m asking for too much.

I still believe we should reform the Republican party. Actually, we have no choice since there is no viable third party and not enough time to form one without giving us Democratic rule in perpetuity. Tea Partiers are determined to purge the statists from the government no matter their party affiliation. I would suggest you jump on that bandwagon while it still offers some hope.

How do all these true conservatives propose to fight the Democrats? It’s time to stop talking and start fighting.

I always enjoy Vox’s work. He has followed up his column with a rather interesting post on his blog that was sparked by an email he received from another former Republican loyalist (Permalink: http://voxday.blogspot.com/2010/03/mailvox-republican-despair.html)

I, too, worked hard for the Republican Party for nearly a decade, and I would be an absolute fool if I told any of you that it made a damn bit of difference on anything. For those of you fellow Heartlanders, I cannot stress enough that the Republican apparatus looks upon us precisely the same way the Democratic operatives do. Those of you who still believe the great recapturing myth need to take a gander at David Frum’s and Michael Gerson’s latest few missives. To them, if you are not a statist (or at least statist-lite), you are an eccentric freak and a liability that is ripe for purging, in the supposedly great Buckley tradition. Shame on these people.

(1) You, Vox Day, and a few others can sort through the mainstream political bull***t
served up by our two party (power hungry statist) criminal conspirators.

(2) The disaster that is Romneycare:

http://dailycaller.com/2010/01/10/massachusetts-health-program-a-model-for-obamas-national-reform-strains-state-budget/

‘Since 2006, the cost of the state’s insurance program has increased by 42 percent, or almost $600 million. According to an analysis by the Rand Corporation, “in the absence of policy change, health care spending in Massachusetts is projected to nearly double to $123 billion in 2020, increasing 8 percent faster than the state’s gross domestic product (GDP).” ‘

(3) EXCELLENT analysis of the Republicans voting FOR the 2003 Prescription Drug Plan with the Democrats opposing:

2003 Senate – Republicans FOR 43-9, Democrats oppose 11-35. ONLY 14 current House Republicans opposed the 2003 obscenity.

(4) Orwell predicted this all: e.g. Comrade Snowball proposed the windmill and Comrade Napoleon opposed it UNTIL he took over:

Orwell only missed the numbing effect of the two party system on real political dissent.

(5) We have 2 Welfare-Warfare-Goldman-Sachs-Healthcare parties – the secular/labor /minority leaning Democrats and the religious/management/white leaning Republicans. However, the booboisie-electorate NEVER ever learn as we continue down the primrose path to Authoritarian Armageddon and national bankruptcy.

The succinct words of Vox Day are irrefutable. This message needs to be drilled into the brains of any Republicons who think the two-headed hydra in D.C. can be tamed.

You are so right Ilana! I finally woke up and left the Republican Party in 2008. I did vote for a Republican in the primary (Ron Paul) and was blasted by friends for doing so. I refused to vote for John McCain. Thank you for writing this. True conservatives need to read this.

Ilana,
Vox Day has hit upon a truth that needs repeating concerning conservatives looking for a home within the Republican Party: “Unless and until Republican voters and the conservative media realize that supporting the lesser evil only guarantees more and more evil, they will continue to be responsible for creating the very monsters that they so vehemently oppose.”
