Anyone reading the mission statement of the Conservative Party USA will understand that our primary purpose is to restore the limits and boundaries of government as defined by our founding documents.  You may hear comments like our being willing to return to the days of slavery and other such nonsense.  Conservatives need to be clear that the desire to be as close as possible to the ideals of self-government and Federalism as expressed in our founding documents, no way suggests that we would be willing tolerate the horrendous abuses of our shared history.  It is the size and scope of the modern Federal government that I question and believe that a restoration of the founding first principles of Federalism would be beneficial to our whole society.

Our founding documents established for the first time in history, a form of government where individuals had control of their own efforts and property.  … Read More →

If power corrupts through bigness, why cannot I pose the point that power corrupts Corporate America because of its size? And, I pose the additional point that Corporate America is as incestuous in its conduct as we blame Big Government. Big Government is bad; Big Corporate America is bad.

Wow, you may say. Sam, I thought you where for free enterprise. Sir/Madam, You would have difficulty finding another as strong as I am for free enterprise. My beef about Corporate America falls along the theoretical lines of enumerated powers discussed in government. It goes like this.

Microsoft was started in a garage, so the story goes, and look at its size. I have no problem there. Hewlett Packard, somewhat the same story. Now, these are broad-brush illustration, so let’s not counter with any small deviations within these two companies. My “stretch” here is that these two companies, although huge, operate … Read More →

It is a principle of our nature that the individual is sovereign. The everyday meaning of the word, sovereign is to be “independent of” any other person or entity. Volunteers in the Conservative movement will most often  encounter intimidation by the opposition. We know their responses, “I can’t believe you think that!” WHY NOT!

Below are listed 10 sovereign rights we each posses, for which we make no excuse. Attribution is unknown.

1. You have the right to judge your own behavior, thoughts, and emotions; but, to take the responsibility for their initiations and consequences upon yourself.

2. You have the right to offer no reasons or excuses for justifying your behavior.

3. You have the right to judge if you are responsible for finding solutions to other people’s problems.

4. You have the right to change your mind.

5. You have the right to make mistakes and be responsible … Read More →

I think you would agree that we live in turbulent times. You only have to watch 15 minutes of any news program to know just how tumultuous times have become.  This is a predictable result of the obvious lack of virtue and knowledge in our society and culture, and a direct result of the obviously diminished stature given to natural law and nature’s God. The federal government is pursuing nonsensical policies and practices, and has been for some time.  State and local level politicians echo the same bullet-point talk tracks as our National “leaders” as though somehow there is no difference in their interests or in their constituents concerns.  This is most interesting, don’t you think?

You may know that the Conservative Party USA argues for the restoration of the limits and boundaries of government as defined in our founding documents.  We believe that such a restoration is the only … Read More →

We need to kill the proposed Collins/Leiberman Senate bill giving the president the authority to shut down the Internet. This is supposed to halt harm to our banking assets, to name one reason given. That logic is like cutting off water to your home because a faucet is leaking in the bathroom. Answer? Fix the faucet!!
