NOT a Democrat, Republican or Libertarian

America was a great experiment in Liberty, self government, and unalienable Rights predicated on moral absolutes from the Bible. It was not a democracy nor a theocracy, but rather a constitutional republic that limited the power of the federal government. Despite that, the first political party was the Democratic Republicans. Today I hear people who believe they are educated try to convince us we are a "Democratic Republic." You can't fix stupid.

The Democratic Republican Party began in 1792 and ended in 1824. There were simply too many divisions in a bastardized party that not only represented what the founders thought were good about republican and democratic trimmings, but it encompassed the bad as well. The bad always spoils the good. Today NEITHER party represents what the founders envisioned.

Democrats have devolved into socialists and communists that like to call themselves "progressives." Progressive? I could never figure that one out. France, our ally during the War of Independence, tried socialism. They have had at least a dozen different constitutions during the time America was governed by ONE Constitution. You would think that stability means something. I'm sure that the founders found merit in the proposition that we were to have a representative government. Likewise, the same people who founded the Democratic Republican Party felt assured that the Bill of Rights protected us from majority rule. While James Madison did not want the Bill of Rights, he was compelled to add it so that the Anti-Federalists couldn't stop the ratification of the Constitution. Still, though the Federalists thought the Bill of Rights unnecessary, they passed it and acknowledged the concept of unalienable Rights by limiting the federal government and guaranteeing those preexisting Rights.

Originally, the Democrats were closer to the Constitution than the Republicans. But, the Democrats were all about majority rule. The Republicans were about preserving the rights of the "minority." Consequently, the Republicans oversaw the passage of the illegally ratified 14th Amendment which basically nullified the Bill of Rights. Next, the Republicans followed up with the 15th Amendment which further weakened the Constitution. That was followed up with the 16th Amendment and "income taxes"(a plank out of the Communist Manifesto) that is unconstitutionally applied... and then the Republicans followed up with the 17th Amendment which destroyed the Republican Form of Government with the direct election of Senators. Today the Republicans are now furthering the insult by demanding term limits. The Republicans are allowing Donald Trump to run wild and threaten the electoral college. Between term limits and the end of the electoral college, America would officially be a democracy and we will have screwed ourselves out of the Republican Form of Government guaranteed in the Constitution of the United States.

The Democrats like the Nanny State with a socialist program for every American and the Republicans are addicted to the POLICE STATE with its womb to the tomb 24 / 7 / 365 surveillance, National ID, prove this - prove that attitude. BTW, Ronald Reagan (former DEMOCRAT) suggested that we "trust but verify" that became popular with conservatives. What a load of unadulterated horseshit! Reagan got that from the communists

That brings me to the Libertarians that have no special connection to the Constitution. Most conservatives (sic) like the limited government feature of the Libertarian position; however, I find their "Non-Aggression" principle to be inconsistent to our ability to maintain Liberty. If we cannot or will not fight to preserve our country, it will be taken from us. For these reasons (and others) I am not Democrat, Republican or Libertarian. I am an American that believes in the principles of Liberty, Freedom, unalienable Rights and limited government. You?
