Perennial candidate Alan Keyes ran in three different parties in 2008, he was so greedy to play the big shot, THREE DIFFERENT PARTIES in one year, the man lusts for public attention to feed his delusions of grandeur.
The Republicans didn’t choose him of course, the Constitution Party didn’t choose him, so the guy created his own vanity party so that he could nominate himself and continue to run for President.
This is not exactly the grassroots that pertains to this article. I don’t think this writer meant for us to jump on the, maintain Alan Keyes egoist delusions gravy train.
Well, the principal is hardly new - naturally you fight to your own strengths: hence your own forefathers avoiding pitched battles when unsuitable, the Iraqis/Vietnamese, etc turning to guerilla war rather than fighting pitched battles on our terms.
I recall a great quote regarding the Algerian war (May have been in the Battle of Algiers) where a French officer bellows at a captured fighter words to the effect of “Why won’t you fight honourably? Why do you use bombs and other cowardly tactics?”, to which the prisoner replies calmly,”Give us your tanks and helicopters and planes and we will fight you honourably, monsenieur.”
Anyone who fights in ways that suit the enemy are fools. Obviously there are limits, as demonstrated by unneccessary damage to civilians or use of atrocities, but war is not about honour. War is about victory.
Shalom.
Whatever, troll.
A troll would leap out with name calling and personal insults.
Your hostile and immature reaction speaks to the quality of your party.
Your perpetual thread stalking and personal attacks tell me everything I need to know about you, troll.
Get a new line, this perpetual personalizing and attacking everyone is nothing but trolling.
This article was not written promoting running a perennial third party loser for president and getting 48,000 votes as the answer in my opinion.
You’re projecting, troll. Accusing me of what you yourself have done on thread after thread after thread.
Do you have anything to say besides personal attacks?
You made a post promoting the Alan Keyes party and I responded to it, please try and focus on the subject and the thread.
There is no “Alan Keyes party,” you lying troll.
It doesn’t bear his name of course, but wasn’t it formed in mid to late 2008 after Keyes failed to win the nomination of first, the Republican Party, and then second, the Constitution Party, and then he ran as it’s Presidential candidate?
Grassroots conservatives who found both John Judas McCain’s liberalism and the Constitution Party’s isolationism completely unacceptable put him on the ballot by completely grassroots means, because they wanted a choice on their ballot that fit their conscience. A personhood pro-life, moral conservative, peace through strength, constitutionalist choice. What exactly is your problem with that?
Not that I expect an honest or decent answer from a proven lying troll and thread stalker.
And, this is why the greatest Army in the history of the world is still fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Yep, HOME SCHOOL!!
This analysis implies that Butler could have beaten Duke, which, of course, is ridiculous...

So I was right of course. Alan Keyes found that he couldn’t win the Republican party, so he ran in the Constitution party and they rejected him also, so yet another party was instantly created that Alan Keyes could finally use as a vehicle for his egoist Presidential runs.
The writer of the piece at the head of this thread is suggesting that a multitude of small and efficient independent local groups would be superior to a few large national groups in our fight to save our country. Having in over twenty years of activism observed the compromises and utter failure of almost all of the national political organizations, I agree, which is why we set America's Independent Party up the way we did, and named it as we did.
The national party is run on a completely grassroots basis. All volunteer. We don't even take donations. The national organization is nothing more than the main hub where our platform, ie our shared principles, reside. It is there simply as the principled connector for thousands of independent state parties, county parties, precinct committees, proven principled grassroots local and state issues organizations, independent activists, and last but certainly not least, principled Reagan conservative candidates.
If someone says they want to donate money, we simply advise them not to give it to national organizations, but to give it directly to vetted candidates and front line grassroots activism. That is our policy.
And we do all this not on the basis of any affiliate's or candidate's party registration, but on the basis of continuous adherence to the core principles of true principled American constitutional republicanism.
All of which means that my commentary on this thread is appropriate. We're not just talking about it, we're actually doing it, as thoroughly and speedily as we can.
It's gratifying to see citizens like this writer, Ned Ryun, thinking these important matters through. I applaud him.
Now you’re quoting and responding to your own inaccurately presented posts. That’s a bad sign. Kinda like talking to yourself, and responding. You know what they say about that.
So, do you want to have a reasonable discussion about the contents of this important article, or are you only capable of continuously reposting the same inaccurate and defamatory attacks on myself, AIP, and its affiliates?
Do you deny this is factual? If you do, please make your claim credible by pointing out which part is not factual.
