Christianity is the foundation. Period. If you don’t want that then leave. If you stay then it will be taught to our children. In school, church, media. You don’t have to agree but it’s your choice wether to stay or not.

Then we can work from there. If the new country doesn’t then just rinse and repeat.



Yeah, anything else will ultimately be insufficient.

And I don't know why people are downvoting it - they don't have to live there, it's a new country, go somewhere else.

It would be homogeneous. You want diversity? Start your own country.

Second amendment would be one sentence. "The right for citizens to own and bear arm shall not be infringed." There would be no words about "militia" to muddle it up.

Illegal entry into the nation is an automatic death sentence. Get caught. You die. Real simple rules. Legal immigration would be almost non-existent.

Gays will be treated the same as every other person. You won't be treated special just because you suck dicks. Transgenderism will be treated for what it is, a mental illness.

Most of the US Constitution would remain intact.

What policies would you enact?

For me, I would draft the Articles of Confederation but outlaw internal trade/movement barriers as well as provide city-state status to any city that exceeds a population that outnumbers the rest of the state (excluding other big cities in that count).


This won’t sit well with some on the PT forum but I would have service limits for all people who work for the federal government. Elected politicians would be 12 years and an additional 8 years if they’re elected president and government workers would be 25 years. No movement between political office and lobbying firms either direction without sitting out 5 years. I would also prohibit elected politicians from owning any investments outside of defined retirement plans while in office.

Lobbying is illegal, with severe penalties if caught.



?? So if I want to make something legal then how would I go about pushing for that agenda without lobbying for it?

Must own land to vote;
Put women back in the kitchen;
Criminalize the broadcasting of homosexuality on TV;
Right to refuse business to any person for any reason;
Treat anybody crossing our borders illegally as an enemy combatant, enforced in part by sniper towers every half mile along our southern border;
Establish English as the official and only language;
Establish Christianity as the official religion;
Drivers must retake their driver's test every 10 years, and actually make it rigorous;
Ban Google from listening to people phone's;
Make pedophilia punishable by mandatory execution;
Bad unions among professional sports leagues so we can actually watch baseball again.

A dictatorship...and that's me. Incorporate the Constitution....eliminate abortion, have a currency based on gold & silver (no central banks), make agriculture a priority, no CRT/gay agenda/pedo shite in school, provide support for those that can't provide for themselves and those that don't want to work, they don't eat or have a place to live and panhandling is outlawed.

Basically need to have some skin in the game because otherwise takers will just vote for whoever promises the most free shite.

Balanced budget requirement. Government can only spend what it takes in any given year, except in a time of war.
And a return to LINK ]Constitutional Money.

I prefer how it is now vs the proposal of throwing people in jail if they ask the government to do something.

People who have worked and paid taxes for 35 years can retire and be taken care of financially and medically.

End the handouts/welfare to people who contribute zero.

Yes, if I started a new country I would not throw people in jail for lobbying.

You certainly seemed triggered. You don’t think reducing conflicts of interest between politicians and special interests would be a good thing?
