All that is great until we have another Katrina!

When's the government coming with my check, why ain't the government hear to fix this NOW........

The CNP has about as much chance of making it as Ralph Nader has of ever becoming the president of the United States.....

In these days it's all about taking the easiest route....... which is going to give me the most benny's with the least amount of effort by me......That is why we have our current president elect..... he offered the most benny's, all they had to do if follow......easy to follow, hard to be a leader.........

No "third" party will ever work in replacing either of the two majors in a two-party system. Almost all have too limited appeal.

What would actually improve public policy would be statutory reforms to abolish impediments to a multi-party system, in which the Democrats and Republicans had to build broad, inclusive coalitions with other factions in legislatures, be it federalists and cultural conservatives for Republicans - or what have you. It'd bring six or seven perspectives to an issue.

Take health care. We do not have and do not want, with a few possible exceptions known for craziness, a free-market health care system. Before a bill is ever paid, the government, in the public's interest, controls supply through licensing. Not for the sake of controlling supply, but because the public needs confidence the person attending to their medical needs is qualified.

Now, health care is expensive for a variety of reasons - monopolistic patenting laws, malpractice litigation costs, the costs associated with getting a medical degree, etc. Our "two-party" system spends 14 years bickering over whether to pay high bills as consumers or to pay high bills as taxpayers.

The best way to come to a solution is by bringing six or seven perspectives to the table instead of two.

Now, if the government being "too large and powerful" is a reference to hacking away and hacking away at regulations, so perhaps one day any yahoo with a couple hundred and a medical supplies catalog can advertise their services, then I'm not sure the "CNP" ought to be one of those six or seven.

Oh, do I owe you such an apology, Mike; please forgive me. Bad mood is not excuse. I myself have defended freedom of speech so that I've gotten in trouble for it, and here I go, going against those beliefs...I'm sorry.

Opps that wasn't the party address for the confederates, sorry.

There is a link for it just under this section.

[Sons and Daughters of the Confederacy] in the address listed above.

I for one don't deny the positive results of the union movement. Hard-fought tho' they were, they were definitely worth it.

Pat.......I'm all for ANY group that seeks to restore this country, and particular ANYBODY wanting to rid us of the communistic, haven-for-terrorists U.N.

But the media is NOT, and will be a HUGE obstacle. Can it be done? Yes, eventually, and I will do all I can to promote PRO liberty candidates, but we may not have the time it's going to take, before the population in general has to stand and either fight or perish.

As we talked about, I believe that under a different name and symbol, a LOT of people would already be on board.

But when you say the word "Confederate" or show the "flag", which sourherners have as MUCH RIGHT to display as the Mexicans have with THEIRS....

........OH, you dirty SLAVERS........get your sheets out.........burned any crosses lately?

And it's stupid. We both know that. Schumer, Feinstein and company were ALL OVER that guy down in Georgia for displaying a Confederate flag in his own front yard........but NOBODY said jack-bo-diddly, when thousands of Mexicans marched all over Southern California displaying THEIR flags......even to the point of replacing an AMERICAN flag with one, on a U.S. Post Office flagpole!

."Oh, that's different, you see, that was just a part of their heritage" I guess the old guy in Georgia isn't entitled to HIS!"

I'm with YOU on this Pat. I know, and YOU know, this isn't about some re-enactment of discrimination---------except toward the terrorists and government corruption.

Incidently.......(open question to EVERYBODY out there)..........During 9/11, the United Nations building was NEVER a target, when it SHOULD have been considered a most LUCRATIVE prize, to take out a lot of high-ranking important people, would it not?

But the U.N. Building was never hit, nor even on the list, as far as we've been able to ascetain from the GITMO bunch. Don't some of you out there find that just a little bit strange?

There are too many terrorist-friendly representatives in that building, lots of rogue nations that our tax dollars support..........The United States picks up the lion's share of the total operating costs of 177 nations, who vote AGAINST us 82% of the time.

The CNP wants us OUT.......and the U.N. EVICTED.

So does Ron Paul

The Democrats do NOT

Many Republicans do NOT

The Socialists do NOT

Obama does NOT

Biden does Not

The Clintons do NOT

....the list of "sell-outs" go on and on........

The Confederates want America to be America again.

So do I.

Anyone who doesn't believe in the freedoms and liberties that generations of real Americans have fought and died for...........don't let the door smack your butt on your way out!

So............does the CNP get the White House in 2012?.............probably not, but I cannot knowingly, continue to vote for thieves anymore.

Here's the link to the "confederate states of america"......

http://www.confederatestatesofamerica.or...

"As we talked about, I believe that under a different name and symbol, a LOT of people would already be on board.

But when you say the word 'Confederate' or show the 'flag,' which sourherners have as MUCH RIGHT to display as the Mexicans have with THEIRS...."

I am grateful myself people are free to fly the Mexican flag and the Confederate flag and even the Nazi flag. All three would draw criticism from people exercising their own First Amendment rights. And I'm not going to rally to any of those flags, no matter who's flying them. And set aside, for just a moment, the whole issue of slavery - why would I ever rally to a flag that celebrates the men who tried to kill my grandfather's grandfather?

Thanks for the history lesson, but I'm talking about NOW................2008.

Growing up in a rough neighborhood of a big city, in the early 60's, I was a gang member and a thief.

Today I'm a 22-year service veteran, and play lead guitar in a Baptist church.

I WAS a thief. I am NOT a thief today.

We are not dealing with the same "CSA" today. Whatever their heritage might have been 150 years ago, they are the only ones NOT trying to sell us out to the highest bidder today, like your Illinois governor trying to sell Obama's seat.

Didn't surprise me a bit that he came out of Chicago. This will make two in a row now, I understand.

Incidently, Mike, you might be glad to know that the old bazookamam here DOESN'T think Obama knew anything about it. He's been so busy campaigning these past two years, I doubt if he's been up on ANYTHING going down in his own neighborhood.

Back to this other thing though, if I were you, I wouldn't be nearly so concerned about what great grandma & grandpa were dealing with way back then..............as I would about what our grandSONS and grandDAUGHTERS are GOING to be facing if we DON'T do something about stopping this cave-in.

If a guy on a motorcycle stopped and helped you get your stranded car going again, or helped you change a tire...............would it MATTER if he was once a "Hell's Angel?"

Priorities change, Ex-Intern. The CNP as it stands today...realizes as many of us do, that we are is danger of losing all of our OWN liberties, and..dare I use the word?......becoming SLAVES OURSELVES to a dictatorship type of government.

At this point, one might say........"GOOD, now they'll know how it was for the blacks...what goes around comes around!"

Ok...let's suppose that......but this is the 21st century, and what "comes around" is going to nail us ALL, no matter WHAT our thoughts, beliefs and positions.

As I said earlier....sometimes it TAKES a former "MASTER" to be able to quickly recognize "ANOTHER ONE."

Most of "John Q. Public" doesn't see it, because it is just merely another one of those things that "could never happen here."

Aren't you even a little curious, that the government that USED to be the North, is today, intruding into private lives on a grand scale NEVER IMAGINED by the old rebels who really had little agenda beyond their own plantations?

When you take an honest look at how our government is raping, pillaging, lying to and cheating this country.............the old South did little more than steal a few candy bars from a Circle K, by comparison.

Even while we continue being screwed by the red and blue................and there's a LOT more on the way, friend...............the guys who WANT to stop it, are still looked upon as racists, who's only desire is to burn crosses and wear robes,eh?

They will FIGHT the bureaucrats while most of these "political professors" and media worshippers out there, just roll over and surrender.

Well........ if I'm still alive and breathing when the time comes, the new CSA is gonna have some help, because I'm not going to be a "subject" like the rest of those who still have this blind allegiance and trust in the system, no matter HOW corrupt.

"It's all good......it's all good"

What a pathetic cliche to be used by so many today.

Bravo pjsdad...a racist is a racist who hangs out with racists and wants to convert US into racists to create a racist state. I for one will die trying to stop this scurge of bigotry, as it is a cancer that MUST e taken from tha body before it kills it.

So.....when it all shakes out, you'd rather have the U.N. as your new "mommy and daddy?"

pjsdad.........you're PARTIALLY right....I have no faith in MOST Americans, and I have the 4th of November to back that up.

Just so we don't misunderstand each other, gentlemen,......I'm not out recruiting for the CNP. I'm just stating an opinion, like we ALL do on these blogs.

I don't really give a rat's butt what any of you out there do. As I've compared before on an earlier blog, it's like a classroom in school. Every subject is different, and some appesl more than others, depending on the students. Be it math, civics, English or science......even if only one or two get something out of it, it wasn't a wasted class.

I'm not going to split hairs on some of this stuff, nor get bogged down into deep rhetoric exchanges. There isn't time. Most political arguments generate more heat than light, anyway.

I'm gonna leave it at this, then move on. You guys take this any way you want:

This world today is made up of sheep and wolves. The sheep go to slaughter.....the wolves where they wish.

I'm not sure whether to start with the convenience or the condescension.

How about the convenience.

"Thanks for the history lesson, but I'm talking about NOW................2008."

Well, you're talking about now when you're not talking about the Revolution. Or the Third Reich. Or claiming that in the Civil War that "the driving force behind the South's contempt for the North was government intrusion." But when the historical record doesn't support that lie, only then is it time to not "be nearly so concerned" with historic facts and what parallels can be drawn.

Now, comparing yourself to a teacher, whose brighter pupils, "even if only one or two get something out of it" when they buy into your selective accounting of facts, which then means "it wasn't a wasted class." That's just patronizing.

And somehow, the prediction of the CNP's electoral defeat manages to be both. How high-minded of you to vote for the CNP thie- I mean, non-thieves! That's right, teacher says to ignore that the historic movement they glorify advocated the theft of labor from a slave workforce.

It's too bad all of us who disagree with you are either brainwashed or have malicious, anti-American motives - otherwise, you'd convince us with your blog carried by a mainstream newspaper's Web site to vote CNP, and they MIGHT even be able to crawl out of eighth place, behind Jackknife's ticket and the party that advocates levitating things through telekinesis.

Hey guys.......like I said, it don't matter to me personally what any of you do. And I already admitted the CNP doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell.

But there's a whole lot of us who do NOT accept the gaggle this country has become, and where it is headed.

Likewise, there are a whole lot of us who aren't just going to roll over and sign "well, that's just the way it is".............and then just take it.

And I agree with you on the elections of 2012, Ex-Intern. If there isn't a revolt by then, (although I think there's gonna HAVE to be), some of the other parties WILL probably do better..............aa LONG as they've been around, they SHOULD.

And by all means, let's not forget Obama's media. No message reaches the people when it's stifled.

Spout what you want, fellas, but if you don't stop looking in the rear view mirror and start paying attention to what's happening on the freeway in front of you, there's gonna be a pile-up like you can't believe.

Yes Jacknife...the meek SHALL inherit the earth. The Jews found that out first hand at Auschwitz.

I've not yet voted for a CNP candidate, because I haven't known about the re-emerge until just recently, but I know enough about them so far, to keep a close eye on who they run, to make sure there's no detour from what they're saying today. I don't believe in blind allegiance to ANY party, like some of you out there. Screw the parties...country first.....although i wouldn't expect any lefty to comprehend that.

And I know THIS much..........and this is more than ANY liberal or Socialist can say about HIS party....:

Whatever you think the CNP is, at least THEY:

1. Aren't trying to sell us out.

2. Want us out of the U.N. and want the U.N. OUT of here.

3. Want LIMITED government, with NO politician serving more than 2 terms

4. Want ENGLISH to be the offical language.

5. Want the government STRIPPED of any power NOT granted them by the Constitution

6. Want the illegals OUT of here

7. Want the tax system as it was SET UP to be by our founders...not this "take and give away" crap.

8. Want a man's property to be his OWN, and what he did with it was HIS business, not the government's.

9. Want the freedoms for all, that we began with.

10. Want our troops to be used for US, not foreign countries.

11. Want our tax dollars used for US, not foreign countries.

12. Want our government to work for US, not the other way around.

13. Want the borders closed

(If there is still some traces of the OLD south, I would imagine that terrorists and traitors would either be hung or shot....not PAMPERED and catered to for the next 20 years).

And, I would think (or at least HOPE), that those predators who preyed upon our young, would be hung in a public square, for the townspeople to do as they wished, until there was nothing left to hang.

Ok boys....your turn............tell us all what YOUR parties would do to fix everything THEY'VE created.

Reagan said it best..."Government isn't the solution to the problem...government IS the problem"

A problem made up of WHO?..........and WHO?

One party has emerged that wants to DO something about it...........but no..........they all racists. "Always HAVE been, always WILL be" They don't care about taxes or terrorists....they don't care about corruption and graft...they don't care about, guns, homeland or the Chinese taking us over...they don't care if the U.N. ends up OWNING us all...

THIS is all about SLAVERY by God!" This CNP is just about putting 'em in the backs of buses, whites only restaurants, water fountains and restrooms, cottonfields and hog farms.

You "Johnny Rebs" ain't foolin' US!

...Yeah Ex, Jack, and a few of you others. You win, you saw right THROUGH it, didn'y ya?

Now.............tell us what YOUR bunch HAS done...is doing NOW...and PLANS to do.......to return America back to the people.

I want to SEE this.

Mike, you are right regarding sheep and wolves. It will be interesting when the "sheep" need help from the "wolves" to survive because they have ALLOWED their rights to be taken away one by one.

The "people" need higher standards.

My plan is to keep trying to vote for the candidate most likely to withdraw from Iraq while minimizing U.S. casualties, shift the tax burden from the working middle-class on to the heiresses and trustafarians whose sloth seems to prioritize them for relief whenever Republicans get power, protect individual liberty from any threat including corporate, theocratic and parochial, and otherwise recognize and respect the value of American labor.

Regardless of party affiliation - though there's a lot more Democrats I'd vote against than Republicans I'd vote for. I've voted for both in the past, for Libertarians, Greens, and Independents. I'll write in a third-party candidate's name in if Pennsylvania's anti-ballot access policies bump them from the ballot.

"'THIS is all about SLAVERY by God! This CNP is just about putting 'em in the backs of buses, whites only restaurants, water fountains and restrooms, cottonfields and hog farms.

You Johnny Rebs ain't foolin' US!'"

THAT is a pretty good description of what the movement they glorify was ultimately about. Why lionize it if they don't think it's an impressive list of accomplishments? You've said it yourself, they'd have better luck getting into office and actually setting policy if they didn't wrap their platform up in a "heritage" many Americans associate with racism or treason or both.

Of course, had the North handled the end of the Civil War correctly and tried and executed every Southerner who lent support, material or otherwise, to the conspiracy to commit mass treason, the traitors wouldn't have stayed ensconced in civil society, re-infiltrated the Southern governments and continued to wage their war against the American principle of individual liberty. Needless decades of Blacks denied the vote and other basic freedoms, "the back of the bus," so to speak, because of the North's compassion for domestic enemies.

Who says we are nothing more than slaves in 2008---ALL of us? We work to pay our Government so they can waste tons of money on crap and bail outs of this one and that one. We have NO say in any of it. They do not listen to us. This is not a "free" nation! We operate with certain "freedoms" but we really are not "free." At least in Russia and Cuba they know what they are dealing with. We have no idea here. We are slaves to a lost Government. It has been "lost" for a long time.

Mike has lived in MH for a long time. You do not even live here yet you comment on things that are going on here. Can we please check the "crazy" comments at the door. They are not very nice and can damage someone. These are just opinions----and everyone has a right to their own opinion. It is one of the "freedoms" we are still allowed unless our local paper feels it necessary to delete a comment for whatever reason they feel is "just" in their eyes. Live and let live already.

My comment regarding Idaho was directed at the fact that you do not even live here yet you make comment after comment on our paper regarding a MH resident. Not that you cannot do that mind you but do you not have your own dragons to slay where you live? Do you not have a local paper, in your area, that you can comment to? Do you have no life where you live?

As for me being a conservative, I guess that is true. Our Government should be accountable. It is the least we can ask for for the dirt bags that hold office in the name of the "people."

Get off your soap box already. Have you nothing better to do? Really. Just be glad you do not live here and log off.

ayrewolf,

WAKE UP.your roots are showing... you are a YANKEE!!!!!!

Now go and tell us all about "how you spent summers" in Alabama.... but face it..... YOUR IMMEDIATE roots are Northern......

One other thing........ how come your dad "A Marine" was stationed at an Air Force Base, "Hill Air Force Base"........

Well thank God that the CNP just amounts to a bunch of near-do-wells that will never accomplish anything. Kinda like the current polititians. They talk alot. Accomplish nothing. Want to impose their will on others. AyreWolf is a perfect example of the CNP. There has been no meetings here, it's all BS.

ayre,

So I ask again, where was this rally held? I didn't hear anything about it except for you saying you were heading up to Boise for it? And then we all heard about the turnout and "new enlistees". Was it advertised?
