I've been looking at the Constitution Party as a prospective new political home, since I can not stay with the Republican Party. The Constitution Party has selected Dr. Charles Baldwin as their candidate for the Presidency. Dr. Baldwin has a number of articles published at his web site, Chuck Baldwin Live , and I've been reading them. He isn't very impressed with John McCain, so he and I are in agreement so far.

"On many issues, there is virtually no distinction between John McCain and any potential Democratic candidate. John McCain is no friend to gun owners. He is no friend to pro-lifers. He is no friend to fiscal conservatives. He is no friend to property owners. He is no friend to "family values" voters. He is no friend to America's blue-collar workers. He is no friend to small business owners. He is no friend to opponents of illegal immigration.

On the other hand, John McCain is a great friend to Big Business. Similarly, he is a friend to Big Government and Big Brother. He is also a friend to open borders, supranational government, regionalism, and American imperialism."

Chuck also agrees with me (or is it I with him?) that McCain is the greater of the evils we have to choose from (provided by the two major parties), not the lesser.

"America is currently facing the most serious threat to its national independence and sovereignty since the War of 1812. The forces of globalism have declared an all-out war against our country's independence. Illegal immigration, the NAFTA superhighway, the North American Community, a regional currency called the Amero, and "free trade" deals are just a few of the weapons in their arsenal. And John McCain will use every bit of his power as President to facilitate all of this chicanery. And, because McCain is a Republican, conservatives and Christians will sit back and let it happen without even the slightest whimper of resistance. If Obama or Clinton were sitting in the Oval Office, however, massive numbers of conservatives and Christians would rise in protest over every inch of ground ceded to these nefarious nabobs. So, tell me, who is the greater evil? I say it is John McCain."

It sounds to me like he gets it. If you'll follow the link above and click on the seventh article in the list (Only A Miracle Can Save America Now) you can read the whole article I've quoted from above. Better yet, read them all so that you can get a good idea of where he is coming from. I'm very impressed, but I won't criticize anyone who disagrees with me. We each have the right to our own opinions.

Then consider this: There are currently 39,139,653 registered as Democrats, 29,955,197 registered as Republicans, 23,315,495 registered as Independants, and only 384,722 registered with the Constitution Party - even though it is the third largest party in the country. I think we can take 10 to 15% of the Democrats, 50 or 60% (and maybe as much as 85%) of the Republicans, and as much as 85% of the Independants; that is, get them to join the Constitution Party and vote for its candidate, Chuck Baldwin. That would bring the Constitution Party up to the size of the Democratic Party and make the Republican Party into a permanent minority party. Would it be easy? Of course not. Can we do it? Absolutely! How? That's a good subject for a future article.

I propose that the Rule of Law no longer exists in the United States and that a state of Anarchy prevails. In support of that I can point to several examples.

There are estimated to be 12 to 20 million people of various nationalities in the United States in open violation of U.S. immigration laws. They have no fear of the laws being enforced, witness the demonstrations of a thousand or more of them demanding the privileges of citizenship. Some of them use fraudulent identification to apply for jobs or government assistance for themselves and their families. Thousands of businesses employ them in violation of the law and some additionally harbor them (a felony on the first offense) or transport them (also a felony on the first offense). These things by themselves are strongly indicative of a state of anarchy.

Now consider the Congress of the United States (both houses) and the Executive Department of the United States... by their lack of action to enforce the laws of the Unites States they have perjured their oath of office. They have sworn to uphold the laws of the United States and have failed to do so. They are complicit before the fact in every crime committed by a person who is inside the United States illegally because they failed to correct the conditions which allowed those illegal aliens to be present in the U.S. to commit those crimes. That is to say that the crimes committed by illegal aliens could not have happened if those illegal aliens were not in the U.S. to begin with. By the way, the maximum penalty for a U.S. citizen who harbors an illegal alien who subsequently causes the death of another U.S. citizen is imprisonment for any period up to life or the death penalty. It's about time we started holding our government officials accountable for their actions or lack of action. Our problem is that it is the responsibility of the Justice Department to investigate and prosecute such crimes, the Justice Department works for the President of the United States (through the Attorney General), and the President does not want those crimes prosecuted! He wants Border Patrol agents prosecuted for shooting an escaping illegal alien felon in the ass (who has just brought $1 million worth of drugs into the U.S.) though.

More to add, will come back later, RHB
