We need to actively recruit members to the Republican party. To this end an oath/affirmation by EVERY member of the Republican party to support republican principle and the constitutionally republican rule-of-law would be useful in establishing party honor, unity and diligent enthusiasm:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“I, _______, believe, as do all true members of the Republican Party :
1) That the free enterprise system is the most productive supplier of human needs and economic justice, That all individuals are entitled to equal rights, justice, and opportunities and should assume their responsibilities as citizens in a free society, (Tea Party Free Markets core value)
2) That fiscal responsibility and budgetary restraints must be exercised at all levels of government, (Tea Party fiscal responsibility core value)
3) That the Federal Government must preserve individual liberty by observing Constitutional limitations, (Tea Party Constitutionally Limited Government core value)
4) That peace is best preserved through a strong national defense,
5) That faith in God, as recognized by our Founding Fathers is essential to the moral fiber of the Nation.”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now Which POTUS candidate is best able to affirm the Republican Party creed from Virginia and has the character needed to maximize its uniting power without squandering that unity in unnecessary provocations and opposition?
So what do I hear? A restatement of Newt Gingrich's – “Ron Paul has been constantly correct” plus the reservation 'I have this problem with this one [poorly evidenced] fear I have regarding Ron Paul.' What opposition Republican Ron Paul has arises not from factual matters but from the essentially spiritual problems that neo-cons and neo-liberals have where they raise big government as an idol to replace the big God that they believe has abandoned and abused them.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Even so, The Republican Party Convention may see some currently Republican governor declared as the POTUS candidate – one who pre-selects a dream-team cabinet – one who firmly cements party unity and activist diligence.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The affirmation of creeds are strong on pulling those who want to do their duty. But most everyone needs a little push when statutory duty becomes inconvenient in the short term. To secure liberty and prosperity we must embrace our duty under Adam's 'Empire of Laws' and reject the "caprice of men's cavalier felonious conceits of authority".
The following affirmation/oath only recognizes every American's duty under the duly authorized laws as they are - nothing new is invoked - If such an oath was publicly acclaimed by every member of the Republican Party we would have the push strength needed to avoid most kinds of downfall that have afflicted Republicans in the last century or so.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I, _______, as a member of the Republican Party in the Virginia, affirm that I will bear true faith and allegiance to my Constitution of the United States, and Virginia; and to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend those constitutions against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
I will diligently perform my `hue & cry' duty defined in the United States Code 18USC4, `Misprision of Felony' ; such that crimes arising from alienation shall become scarce, particularly, that felony against MY Constitution and its duly authorized law known as US Frauds & Swindles; effected by "Resisting the execution of the laws under the color of its authority", as effectively defined in of "Virginia Statutory Treason” and “Virginia Statutory Embezzlement”.
I affirm these duties freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and will well and faithfully discharge these duties, trusting with firm reliance on the Providence, Witness and Counsel of "The Laws of Nature and Nature's God" I so pledge my life, my fortune and my sacred honor.”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Those that do not stand for something usually fall for anything. NOT ME.
I won’t sign any political oath.
Maybe some will.
No way would I sign an oath to support people that allow themselves to be walked all over by a President who makes recess appointments when there is no recess, who makes regulations when he cannot get his laws passed. Who picks and chooses what laws he does tell his Attorney General to enforce.
This dictator wannabee needs to be impeached,and Republicans want me to take an oath to support them while they do nothing? Uh Uh not me Hoss.
The Democrats have become the welfare party, while the Republicans have become the warfare party - both of them putting the middle class further into debt by funneling money from them to the upper and lower classes. It's all based on fear - fear that "children will starve" or fear that the "turr-ists will impose Sharia law on us." If this mindset wasn't bankrupting us, it would be laughable.
I fully expect the same immature name-calling that is so common around here to start soon. "RuPaul/kook/Paulbot/insane foreign policy/etc."
Flame on, statist authority worshippers.
I believe you are referring to Ron Paul, and yes I like his Constitutional stance, Unfortunately his foreign policies suck. His foreign policy could get us all killed.
“Religion,Morality, and Knowledge being necessary to Good Government and the happiness of mankind ,Schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged.”Article III twice passed by Congress- Northwest Ordinance (Fundamental Law) —
“We are assured sir, in the sacred writings that :’Except the Lord build the house they labor in vain that build it .’ I firmly believe this, and I also believe that without his concurring aid we shall succeed in this political building no better than the Builders of Babel.” Dr.Benjamin Franklin Con Con June 28,1787. The First act of Congress after adopting the terms seen in our bill of Rights was to call for a national day of Thanksgiving and Prayer. Just as the first symbol erected by Europeans was the Cross of Christ.
as true of Christopher Columbus and the Spanish- as true at Cape Henry and the English.We forget God at our peril.
So, it’s better for us to be lied to, go to war under false pretenses and sacrifice our soldiers’ lives with no clear objective; not to mention the countless civilian deaths and trillion$ we inccur in debt - just so we can feel safe from a percieved threat? Yeah, that sounds like a great policy...Let’s keep doing it.
Therein illustrates the problem with Ron Paul and his supporters. This is a blatant liberal lie. The Iraq war was not based on lies or false pretenses and to say so is blatantly dishonest. Regime change in Iraq was policy across both parties leadership and based on Saddam Hussein repeatedly breaking his agreement to end hostilities in 1991. Hussein was both a destabilizing force in the region and a threat to the US. He was funding much of the suicide bombers in Israel (notice how that has become so much less frequent since Hussein was removed?). He was a tyrant and needed to go. We can debate whether it was wise to go in a ground war or how it was prosecuted, but the justification was there absolutely. Why was the UN so focused on resolutions against Iraq if no threat was there? The fact hat they wimped out and were corrupted in the process does not change the justification.
D@mn right.
Spineless Republicans continue to frustrate and alienate their own voters.
PUSH BACK REPUBLICANS.
Stop being marshmallows.
You are probably right. We should just ignore N Korea and Iran and their plans for a Nuclear bomb, and after they get it they will sell it to Venezuela, but that’s ok too.
Yeah you are right vote for the nutbag.
“Ron Paul fits the above template perfectly. It’s sad that many neo-cons here cannot see that.
The Democrats have become the welfare party, while the Republicans have become the warfare party - both of them putting the middle class further into debt by funneling money from them to the upper and lower classes. It’s all based on fear - fear that “children will starve” or fear that the “turr-ists will impose Sharia law on us.” If this mindset wasn’t bankrupting us, it would be laughable.

Namecalling? Anti-Semitic Ron Paul wants to gut our military. He does sympathetic interviews with Iranian TV and sides with that evil nation against his own. He believes 9-11 was an inside job. He’s a lunatic, nothing more. And most of his followers just hope they’ll score some free dope along the way, IMO.
Saddam became a "tyrant that needed to go" in the Middle East after we stopped propping him up in his war with Iran in the 80's. How many billions did we give him when he was our "ally"?
"Destabilizing force?" He was left in power after Desert Storm because, according to the Republicans, Iraq served as a "buffer" between Iran and Israel. When did this doctrine change? After Hussein stopped taking dollars for oil. Our special interests could not let that happen. Check this article, and check the date:

I really don't expect you to look into it, because your little fantasies about the United States government freeing people from oppression are much more soothing.
I don't know where to even start with this. All I can suggest is that you stop regurgitating the lies you've been told and do some basic research.
I am sure the people of Eastern Europe, all of Europe after WWII, Japan, and other countries would disagree with you.
Foreign policy is a difficult business, and an enemy at one point might be a friend at another time. It is simply a universal truth throughout history. Isolationism is not the answer, except to Paulites.
Nothing isolates us more than having American troops stationed in numerous countries around the world where we are not welcome nor needed. Is this how you think we make friends?
It's nothing more than "job creation", neo-con style.
