The American Whig Party kickoff (1/6/2015)

I thought the idea was to call the present-day Republican Party the Whigs to imply that they were on the way out, just like the Whigs. There actually is a group out there already that calls itself the Modern Whig Party.

And then there was the True Whig Party of Liberia: "Founded in 1869, the party dominated Liberian politics from 1878 until 1980 to the extent that the country was virtually a one-party state, although opposition parties were never outlawed." [Wikipedia]

Ooh... everyone cleans their plate. I like that.

Hate to break it to ya, Laz, but we’re beyond partisan politics at this point. The fix isn’t going to include voting, unless it’s from the rooftops.

Is this some kind of anarcho-syndicalist commune?

I have been reading about the Whigs. Do you think Trump falls into the common sense side of the Whig party philosophy?

[Lazamataz]

I don’t know; I haven’t researched. I will, hopefully, put together an editorial today about Mr. Trump.

Ping me to it if you do please.
