A Conservative Party

Do you know what I would love to see in the year 2009? A truly conservative third party. I believe that the Republican party has drifted to the left until they are the Democrats of yesteryear. The Democrats have drifted so far over that they would seem to be more of a Socialist party. I would love, love, love to see an honest to goodness, Ronald Reagan right-thinking Conservative Party. I cannot be the only one who has turned away from the fiasco that is today's political scene. I cannot be the only one who thinks that we as a nation are headed down a steep road to hell. One of my favorite blogs that I enjoy is found at http://keystonetotheheartland/ and the person writing it has such an excellent grip on the world's political scene. I read it every day. And if you are right of center in your thinking, check it out, you'll be glad that you did. But before I was shamelessly plugging, I was writing about the start of a Conservative Party. The objectives would be simple-less government, more personal responsibility and less intrusion from those who think that they should think for us. I can manage my own life, thank you. I don't need Big brother to come in and cut my food for me. Which dovetails nicely with that hunk of retail wonder we call Walmart. I don't need Walmart to tell me what it is that I need from a government. When I read how much the Walton's contributed to various political organizations, I gagged. Granted, it is their money and they can spend it how they wish, but I can see the correlation between donations to a political party and political favors for a certain group of millionaires. It reminds me of the joke about an honest politician. For those of you living under a rock for the last twenty years- an honest politician is one who stays bought. But back to my dream party. There has to be more people than just me who would like to see politics take a sharp right turn back to a little place I like to call reality. The path we are on is going to be the one that bankrupts this great nation and makes us answer to other countries that only want to see us falter. Can you say United Nations? Anyway, start talking about a Conservative Party. See what your friends and family think, and before you know it, we can take our country back and put it on the Right path again. You'll thank me later.
