For those of you fed up with the Republican Party and their two-faced, traitorous ilk, I offer you this third party alternative. Some may object to their emphasis on die hard Christianity and their support to make pornography illegal to sell or distribute, but by and large they get it right.

They're not the anarchists of the libertarians but they are far more conservative than RINOs like John McCain and Lindsey Graham.

Check out their national website here:

That's like saying I bought shares in:



Cool concept; bad timing by this time in history.

I mean people can join whatever party but this country will never be anything but two parties - it's too ensconced. So it's like a wasted vote.

If enough people join then perhaps the Republican Party will adapt and adopt their core principals. I'm sick of voting Republican and seeing nothing change. While I may be wasting my vote, at least my conscience will be clear.

I agree that it's time for a viable 3rd party to emerge.

No party can simultaneously support banning pornography and claim to be "the Constitution Party"

Fair enough but these are strange times. Donald Trump is the president...and that's starting to feel like the most stable thing we have going for us.

While I most definitely understand wanting a third party getting better people to primary incumbents would yield better results.

It would also perhaps slow the new people from turning into the same old people

yeah the people won a major battle in taking control back of their party when Trump won the nomination. I'm disappointed in the GOP senators but I don't really see why we'd give up right now. Time to start vetting our candidates and challenging these fools in the primaries.

I definitely understand the desire to vote for a third party but here is my analogy. Say you have this set up...you want a fancy car but you just don't have the money for it. It will take a while to raise this money for this nice shiny new car but a lot is going to have to change for you to get this car(third party). In the meantime the real world comes creeping in and you need to get a car to get you to work. Do you forego getting a car because with you are only able to get one that is a bit run down(Republican party) and all but generally you can atleast count on it to get you to work or do you say, screw it...I'm holding out for this fancy new car, when the reality is that you will not have transportation thus lose your job(letting Dems win). You will not buy the somewhat run down car...which you can do and keep your job...which will sustain you for the time until one day the fancy car might be a reality. Is it wise to opt for nothing but hope in the fancy car which yields you losing your job on the real side of things?

Pick a party without the fundamentalist preachers writing the platform.

What makes you believe that Christianity and the constitution can't coexist? It did for many years during the founding of the country.

a. the comment/joke wasn't about their religion

b. that law violates the constitution, so they're not doing a good job of naming their party

Fundementalism carries the seeds of failure.
The major themes emphasis a logical fallacy, "building their house on sand".


God vs satan.
God apart from the true believers.

In fact, union is always the case. The spurious propaganda is that we good guys are opposing the bad guys. However, upon close inspection, as james joyce's humorous summary "fenders" demonstrated, the offenders and defenders both have certainty that their way is the "one true way".

A person can be as fundamental as it gets and still not support making laws to govern people's moral behaviors. A true Christian believes that change comes from within and not from laws or outside forces.

Wait, I thought "everything was going according to plan" when you posted this back in May...

God! I love being right. The whole reason why I supported Trump during the election is because I saw him as a form of chaos. Chaos is needed to bring about change and I feel as if change might be looming in the form of censure or impeachment. The resulting political firestorm from such a move would be so great it wouldn't surprise me if civil unrest erupts, leading to outright civil war.
