Not Anti-Federalist

We constitutional conservatives are not anti-federalist. We want and need a federal government that rules with the voluntary consent of the governed. The federal government should be powerful, decisive, efficient, lean, not bloated and its officials not power-hungry.

Theft

Leftists love excessive taxation.  They steal from the middle class, the upper middle class and the rich to  redistribute hard-earned wealth, generated in the private sector, to the middle class, the lower middle class and the poor, both deserving and undeserving.

If they can get everyone hooked on federal largesse, the addicted will vote Democrat, because most voters vote their pocket book.

The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact



Blue States are getting their state legislators to vote to join something called the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. It is a dangerous threat to our constitutional system.  Mob rule and people's passions from Leftist states like California would rule the rest of the country based on direct popular vote.
 The ideas that made sense to the Founding Fathers was that we need republican checks and balances to protect minorities (small states, etc.) against majority rule tyranny (democracy).

To keep government small and not tyrannical, we must not erode the curbs on majority hegemony.

Planned Central Economy

Now that being a socialist is more or less equivalent with being a Democrat, we need to educate and altert the American people as to what lies ahead for them: stifled earning, government police state tactics, poverty, hunger, shortage and a system that does not work. Do we need it here?

Market Economy

We should tout and praise and celebrate our market economy every day. We should balance the federal budget, reduce taxes and shrink federal government 40% to get it out of, and out of the way of our market economy.

We want to grow the economy domestically and internationally. As wealth grows and spreads, material wealth pushes people over to individualism and self-realization. The market economy affords them to love and live as God means for them to live.

Censoring Alex Jones

My nephew wrote a piece on Facebook, declaring that his research indicates that Alex Jones is still on social media, despite efforts to censor him.

Here is the response that I posted to him: Thank goodness for inefficiency. Evil people, that are hard workers, organized, and devoted to their wickedness, like the Nazis were, are the most destructive force on earth.

If good people are industrious, effective, structured, and dedicated to their good causes, they are the most beneficial force on earth.

Efficiency is only a virtue in the service of spreading good, not spreading evil.

Some inefficient, ineffective censors are preferred to effective, thorough ones like Putin and the Chinese.

Censoring anyone for anything said in public media is a dangerous, unpatriotic act, in America. Short of threatening the life of the President, or advocating violence against some targets, some group of citizens, or shouting "Fire" in a theater, we should censor nothing else. Almost total freedom of speech is what we want.


Apple, Facebook, YouTube, Spotify, Stitcher, LinkedIn and Pinterest have all moved recently to removed Jonses' Inforwars content from their social media sites.  There attempts to silence him and disconnect him from his eager audience is their constitutional right, but it is horrible corporate practice and bad public policy.

We conservatives and lovers of intellectual and political freedom should boycott these private companies that practice censorship against conservatives. We should put our stuff on conservative, alternative social media sites.
