America was not only founded by conservative Christians. Too many Americans continuously focus upon the puritans but most Americans came for economic freedom. It’s a common misconception. And you know the last time we mixed politics and religion? PEOPLE WERE BURNED AT THE STAKE. First colony was founded for financial freedom, there was the puritans that was founded for religious freedom, the rest of the country was founded for economic freedom.KNYTE said:I guess I should point out that
CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIANS STARTED THE COUNTRY.
I thought being a history major you may have picked up that little detail.
I’m not too sure that would solve the problem but it sure as hell would be funny.Fat Burger said:Don't be a dumbass. Government beauracracy is what's ruining the country. It's time to oust one of the two major parties. Bring back the Whigs!
I think his point was that regardless of the reason they came here and regardless of the reason they established whatever systems they did the large majority were hardcore protestant. No matter how you try to differentiate the reasons from the people it comes back to they for the most part had the same religious background which influenced their decisions.djduquet said:America was not only founded by conservative Christians.

Their economic policy would probably cripple the country.I’m not too sure that would solve the problem but it sure as hell would be funny.

I agree about the party change, yet Libertarion nor the America First is the best, perhaps a combination of the two would be great. But yes, I agree, screw our parties right now.Fat Burger said:Well the Whigs wouldn't do much good, especially since there aren't any left.
However, a two party system guarantees beuracracy. Both the Republican and Democratic parties are becoming more embroiled in layers of red tape, rather than being able to get things done. The only solution to this (besides major changes within the party, which isn't going to happen) is a new party coming in. I can easily see the Libertarion or America First party being a good addition, though there are arguments for others as well.
(America First is my party)
The thing about libertarians is they need to start getting elected to normal positions. Dog catcher, county sheriff, judges, state legislature. Build up a base and experiance. I cant see them running an entire country atm. They also need to lose some of their nutty platform positions, i.e. open borders (huge security risk) and military (doing away with the UCMJ).djduquet said:I agree about the party change, yet Libertarion nor the America First is the best, perhaps a combination of the two would be great.

Only having 2 major parties now is horrible.
