I rarely have been motivated to participate in any kind of political party and/or become involved in a political movement. If I had to define my political belief it would be a Jeffersonian Republican, pre-presidency. However, I have been peering across the political and social landscape of our society, and I can say with definitive resolve that for the first time in my adult life I actually fear my government. There comes a time, I believe, in every citizen’s life, where you are compelled to act. This was especially true of our founders who believed it was an inherent right of man to rise against the tryanny of the few.

The culmination of the events which have led to this particular moment in history has its roots in Pre-WWII America during the Great Depression. As a result of the Great Depression a tetonic shift in the temper and tone of the American government took place. That tone took the argument that government, in and of itself, was the chief regulator and arbitor of financial affairs, i.e. that only government could lift us out from the economic doldrums in which we found ourselves. This argument was further advanced under LBJ and his ‘Great Society’ thus ensuring a welfare, or socialist, state. The great ruse of socialism is that it is not capitalism. In point of fact, it is an extreme form of capitalism, or economic slavery, where all capital is centered and disseminated from the state.

The perniciousness of true socialism is that it rests in the beauracracy. A beauracracy is comprised of people who we call friends and relatives, which makes it so much harder to fight.

To end this post I leave you with a quote from Malcom Muggeridge, “It has become abundantly clear in the second half of the 20th century that Western Man has decided to abolish himself. Having wearied of the struggle to be himself, he has created his own boredom out of his own affluence, his own impotence out of his own erotomania, his own vulnerability out of his own strength; himself blowing the trumpet that brings the walls of his own city tumbling down, and, in a process of auto-genocide, convincing himself that he is too numerous, and labouring accordingly with pill and scalpel and syringe to make himself fewer in order to be an easier prey for his enemies; until at last, having educated himself into imbecility, and polluted and drugged himself into stupefaction, he keels over, a weary, battered old brontosaurus, and becomes extinct. Many…have envisaged the future in such terms, and now what they prophesied is upon us.”

It truly is a brave new world.

We’d like to thank all our followers on Twitter, MySpace, Facebook, Mashable and the like, who have always encouraged us, or sent us death threats, about the type of website we run. It has been a long time coming, at least for your purveyors of sickness, that the Federal Government has gradually and continuously invaded our homes, our businesses, and now, our way of life.

We are actuely aware that the size and scope of government was something that perplexed even our founding fathers, think Federalists vs. Jeffersonians. Although Jefferson abdicated his small government mentality upon his presidential win, it nonetheless seems to us that we need to get back to that small government mentality. We’re not talking about Republican or Democratic small or large government. Since whomever you choose it ends of turning out to be the same thing. The power and control of citizens over its government was abdicated a long time ago and it truly doesn’t matter how much you use the word “change” as it still feels much like the SAME!!

It is within this vein that we are set to launch the first political party that will be created by the people and for the people. As far as we are aware, this is the first political party to be created in an online and completely open format. We will use the Constitution as the basis for all party discussions. Each item and/or general party platform will be put up for a vote. (It is helpful to note that only US citizens, 18+, will be allowed to participate in the formation of the party.)

All discussions will be posted for the entire US and world to see. We insist on transparency, and not just as a political catch-phrase, as such we will not illicit lobbiests, attorneys, etc. with all work necessary for the party’s formation to be completed by volunteers, as was the tradition of our founders, many of whom paid with their blood. If however, there becomes a time when paid staff and/or there is a need for paid contractors, it will be set to a vote and a quarterly budget and cost analysis will be posted on the forum website and emailed to all registered users.

It is here that we begin upon a journey started by our founding fathers over 200 years ago and adapted to current times and via new communication mediums. To that end, I leave you with a quote from Teddy Roosevelt, “Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.”
