 | ThatOnePerson (4) 09/04/2006 |  In my opinion, the Constitution partys ideas would help this country by improving the economy by making more of the things that the government does become free market thus lowering taxes wich will make more businesses form which, in turn will, increase competition and raise the standard of living while eliminating big monopolistic and duopolistic corporations. The partys beliefs on trade would help make this country more self-sustaining without completely dooming trade and all imports. This partys beliefs about foreign policy are close if not the same as those of the true conservatives in this country. The reason why the Constitution partys view on trade and foreign affairs is very similar or even the same as that of true conservatives is because they, like other conservatives, believe in helping out this country first and setting an example for the rest of the world instead of trying to make the world better for this country which is the view of the neoconservative neoliberal Republican party and the pathetic incremental socialist Democratic party and, sadly, leads to a collectivist country where people are treated as commodities and life is nothing more than a combat unit which makes up military strength.
I strongly support the Constitution partys beliefs about how the school system should be run with the exception of the partys belief that religion should be promoted in schools. The party does, however, have some things that I feel are not right and will prevent this party from becoming powerful such as their emphasis on promoting of Christianity on the people of this country. Where other true conservative parties like the America First party and the American party believe in a separation of church and state, this party supports having a marriage of church and state. In defense of Christianity here is the fact: some of the core beliefs of the left wing ideologies, especially socialism, are AGAINST a separation of church and state because they want to eliminate religion in this country (says so in this communist manifesto I have) by having the state take away the right to express and have religion in the name of tolerance. Many left wingers also want to eliminate places of worship by taxing them and treating them as businesses which is not a separation of church and state but an elimination of church by the state.
This is a good party but, because of their intolerance to members and supporters that dont follow the party completely (which can be seen in recent events where the party has split), this party will, in my opinion, fall apart like the reform party that had similar problems (Ross Perrot not Religion though).
I truly support the Paleoconservative and Paleolibertarian beliefs along with those of Anarchy which all preach a message of individualism and the idea that all people in this country are different and are dynamic in how they live because of their ability to think, not static and needing to be part of a group that thinks for them, which is what communism and socialism promotes by taking away individuality. Conservatism, anarchy, and libertarianism (paleo not neo) all promote the idea that a persons beliefs, thoughts, and ways make them who they are and must be allowed to rule their life instead of having the greater good rule their life which is the belief socialism and communism. The Constitution party however goes against the idea of individuals beliefs and that is why it is falling apart. If you are a conservative, dont support this party and become a slave to its ridged and static beliefs, instead look to the more tolerant America First Party, American Party, or even the Personal Choice Party where individualism is promoted.
