Now I know that the fastest way to ensure a collectivist is sent to the White House is to enter a conservative third party into the presidential fray. That's the reason we've got a Libertarian running on the Republican ticket.

However....

It occurred to me that maybe the Republican party has run it's course. Today's Republicans are acting like Democrats. They both spend like there's no tomorrow, both have corrupt leadership, and both are driving forward an insane immigration policy. Maybe the reason there is such dissatisfaction with the current Republican front-runners is that they are more Democrat than conservative.

Perhaps what we need is a new party. A party that stands for Federalism, limited government, American sovereignty and property rights- you know, what the Republicans used to stand for.

We could call it the Frederalist Party.

Ok, now that I've got that out of my system, let me leave with another observance:

Monday was Memorial Day. Now I'll leave aside (this time) the ludicrous idea of honoring reporters and protesters for their contribution to American freedom and turn my gaze to the specter of illegal immigration for a spell.

It seems to me that if illegal aliens really wanted to be accepted in America (other than learning and speaking English for heaven's sakes) they could make an effort to honor America. What do I mean by that? Simple. Rather than raising a Mexican flag on the fourth of July, how about the Stars & Stripes? Rather than protesting American Imperialism on May Day and Labor Day (with the Anarchists and Communists) why not honor American heros on Veteran's Day and Memorial Day?

I don't know about you, but I think I'd be a bit more accepting of a gathering of illegal aliens if they were putting hat and hand over heart in respect for Old Glory rather than flying her upside down in protest.

Just a thought.
