AND THIS IS THE MANIFESTO
By: Dorothy Anne Seese
This had to happen, as I've been a conservative far too long and a paleoconservative at that, which is just a big word to describe what everyone knew as "Republicans" forty years ago.
But all that has changed. � There has been introspection.� There has been self-examination of thoughts, words and deeds.� There has been a mood of discontent with the neocons. I have observed an attitude of either apathy or wasted effort and frustration by the diminishing numbers of true conservatives.� Nuts to it all.
For several years, I've been a person without a country on a planet without a world as we once knew it.� Then it all became crystal clear ... I can no longer be called a conservative,� I no longer think like the majority of people who call themselves conservatives.� My liberal friends associated me with the chickenhawks, warhawks and turkeyhawks in Washington, D.C. and my humiliation was overwhelming.� Others have felt I am one of "those" who underwrite the tactics of the military/industrial complex as being true capitalism.� They cannot even spell the word "entrepreneur" so they don't believe in it, whatever it is or they are. � Lost in this maze of newspeak and confusion, to whom could I turn?� Ralph Nader?� Is he still alive and greening?
Certainly the Arizona in which I live is neocon or liberal. There are some "rednecks" in the hills, but I live in the Phoenix Metroplex amongst the elders and geezers of another era who haven't the foggiest notion that our world has changed. Their golf course has not, their country club has not, and besides I live in the poorer section of Sun City where few belong to these societies.� As a member of the proletariat, I am obliged to be a liberal.
But this identification with neocons and warhawks has rent asunder my conscience and left me defenseless, sputtering about to try to explain that "they" are not conservatives, enduring the sarcastic laughter of those whose mindset revolves around the Bush cabal.�� I've examined the tenets of liberalism and with a few minor changes here and there, I have made up my mind.� I am now a liberal, and a NEO-liberal at that, and here is my manifesto:
*� I believe it is a liberal's duty to restore the Constitution and Bill of Rights, since liberals declare openly that they are "for the people" and even have branches around the world called "Peoples Repubics."� Therefore, if I am to espouse the Peoples Republic of the United States, then my utmost cry for equality amongst all lies in the wording of the Declaration of Independence (a revolutionary document and consistent with liberalism) and in the freedoms granted to the proletariat -- oops sorry -- � oppressed masses.� It even tacks on a Bill of Rights so that the people have guaranteed freedoms, and thus the liberal dream of equality and fraternity are fulfilled. � These are absolutely revolutionary, ultra-liberal documents and it is Article I of my Manifesto that such shall be restored.
*� I firmly espouse the liberal notion that we, the people, have a right to own guns, and the guns of our choice! If that isn't the height of liberalism, I do not know what is.� We don't know when we might have to take up arms to overthrow the bourgeoisie leadership, and therefore, any decent, thinking, NEO liberal would have to favor free and unhindered gun ownership by all comrades ...err ... make that Patriots.� So that is Article II of my Liberal Manifesto.
*� I believe in peaceful co-existence with our fellows on the planet, a globalistic approach espoused by numerous founding fathers of the United States, and in particular the philosophy of "peaceful commerce with all, entangling alliances with none."� This is absolutely a NEO liberal viewpoint, since liberalism is a subversion of the status quo aimed at quiet change with which the people will agree.� However, when the oligarchs are in control, meddling about the world like gadflies, getting our citizens in uniform killed over imaginary threats to our national security, it is time for revolution.� One of our liberal heroes stated as much when he said:
"If you make peaceful change impossible..... you make violent revolution
inevitable."��� --- President John F Kennedy
Now violent revolution within the United States is highly undesirable, as is any more terrorism, whatever the true source of it.� Hence, as a NEO liberal it is my duty to espouse the credo that America should withdraw its military from every foreign nation and put them gainfully to work in the USA. �Thus, a foreign policy of non-intervention except in case of a clear and present, painfully obvious need to defend the country is an absolutely NEO liberal philosophy, and has become Article III of my Manifesto.
*� As a NEO liberal, I believe in large government, but with one minor change, and that is shifting the focus of power from an overbearing federal government that is lost in its own excrement to empowering the states, where liberalism can take root in the form of individual responsibility for the acts and misdeeds of the elected.� Large government, being a "relative" term (and all staunch liberals believe in relativism) will vary according to the will of the proletar .... sorry ... masses. � Thus what is "large" in New York may vary drastically from what is "large" in Wyoming, but all of it will be liberally liberal as long as it is Constitutional.� Thus states Article IV.
*� As a NEO liberal, I am in favor of using the courts to interpret the Constitution, as long as the courts adhere strictly to the plain text as written.� This business of "every judge doing his own thing" is absurd and an insult to true liberalism.� That disgusting arbitrary and capricious mindset belongs in the conservative or more properly, the Neocon camp, since they have no certain identity and have confused the public with their contradictions of stated purpose and actual deed.� (In short, they're a bunch of damned liars.)� If a case is brought before the federal courts that doesn't belong there, throw the sucker out and charge the lawyer and plaintiff with contempt of court. � We will save taxpayer money to distribute to the needy and the victims by this process. And that shall be Article V of my Manifesto.
*� As a NEO liberal, I am vehemently opposed to monopolies of the rich that make fortunes to the detriment of the poor.� A truly liberal stance on this matter is, make better use of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act to break up the huge oil and energy trusts, the wicked foundations that take from our own victim class to support rich dictators of banana or oil republics (who made that much money off bananas anyway?) and stop binding the proletariat (oops, sorry) with the bondage of the filthy rich who are running our native businesses out of the country and creating more victims.� By devising ways to bring such businesses back into our country, or having our own people start new and competitive businesses, we will expand our liberal base because the masses will know who their true benefactors are, to-wit:� NEO liberals.� That's Article VI.
*� As to the business of morals, if our people are going to be immoral there is no way to legislate their thinking. What we can do, as dedicated NEO liberals, is to set guidelines for each state to use as a model for moral and ethical behavior, but it will be effected through each People's Sovereign State so as not to overburden the downsized but big-brotherly federal NEO liberal government.� Thus, the rights of each State are of utmost interest to us, and this doctrine becomes Article VII of our Manifesto.
*� As NEO liberals, we will keep the masses from the bondage of Neocons and restore a clear identity as to which political philosophy truly has the interests of the masses as part of their credo. � Since we oppose everything the Neocons are doing, including capturing all the programs of the old, deadbeat liberals who really weren't liberals but turncoats, we NEO liberals will have a solid identity, platform and program.� That is Article VIII and the end of the basic Manifesto of the NEO liberal credo.�
To this I subscribe, and since it is our American tradition, lay my hand on the Bible to affirm this position of being a NEO liberal.�
