Great article. I may start calling myself a FALCONservative.
When the 20 point platform gets published, we’ll see. I notice that he draws inspiration from great men, but not the Bible.
Yet, we have a gaggle of moderates all claiming to be conservatives now. The definition is changing. As long as it has an R by its name, we can embrace fraudulence like global warming, federal funds for kids healthcare, a meddlesome Dept of Education, unlimited FEMA funds, Law of the Sea treaties, amnesty, etc etc.
And a party that recognizes and reveres the Divine Father as the source of our existence, our rights, and our country’s successes, past, present and future.
Yeah.
Aren’t they all?
Depressing, isn’t it?
I just got an email saying a website will be up within a couple weeks. It also said that the Party is open and no one has to leave their current party to belong, so they can keep voting and influencing the GOP.
How do you figure? I guess the illegal aliens will vote for him, though, so maybe.
There is a biblical warning about putting new wine in old wine skins.
Yes, it is a bit depressing. That is why I’m enthusiastic about a new conservative party. I was told it will allow members of other parties to join w/o having to give up involvement/influence in the GOP, etc..
No Bacardi in that coke?
The GOP foolishly failed to learn its lesson by straying from its conservative course with Bush Sr. and then being so full of pride that they laughed at the opposition and let a weasel like Slick Willie win the election and stay in the office for 8 years. It appears to me that the GOP is about to come full circle and commit the same political sin again.
The GOP'ers can laugh and deride the Demo-Socialist candidates all they want to now, and boast about what a cake walk the November election will be, but with the sorry choice of pseudo-conservative candidates remaining in the GOP race to choose from, I bet they won't be laughing come November.....or for the next 4 years. I hope I'm wrong, but my gut tells me it's 1991 deja vu all over again.
Great, thank you
Tell me more.
Have you seen this new movement, started by a bunch of Hollywood people?

Nice. The Kumbaya party? Donkey’s and elephants working together for universal healthcare, lifetime “fainacial security” and other liberal ideas. They may be onto something. The remaining GOP candidates might just placate them.
Nah. I’m a teetotaler.
My condolences. ;o)
Cmon now. Medved says McCain is a conservative. Don’t ya believe him?
Well the way I look at it is this. Falcon will be a place for the conservatives to form and push for conservative policies. It will take time to get its wings so to speak, but since it requires no one to drop out of the GOP or other parties to join, thus no weakening the conservative elements within those parties, it can only be a positive.
