Radicals is mainly for those not covered in the links above. We include communists, anarchists, socialists, social-democrats and many other sub-sects and ideologys and those who do not wish to associate with mainstream party politics.

We represent more political beliefs than you can shake a stick at basically. :wink:

Don't confuse the independent platform linked above with anything to do with the Independent HQ, though. We are people who are not affiliated with any party and who prefer to deal with issues based on personal, original thought, rather than walking the party plank.

The Constitution Party is a Christian Nazi Party.
The Green Party is cool looking to the future except they'll get whooped in world politics and military problems.
Libertarians will let the utility companies rob you blind while your kids use crack and watch the world explode.
The linked Independent Party is another bunch of Bible Nazis.

Fun fun! :P

They were the Independent American Party or some such, not related to what the general idea of Independent parties as a group. The HQ here is just as Curisz described. We are a wide group, and have right and left wing members, and everything in between. If we do have one thing in common, it's that we hear out any views one wants to express in the HQ forum, with no flaming.

we also have a spa

Which party is closest to the UK's labour party without me needing to read through each of the pdf's?

Republican: Aggressive foreign policy, dedicated to protecting American citizens no matter the cost, even at the expense of personal freedoms. Socialistic (that a word) economic policy compared to other conservative party's.

Democrat: Centrist on economics, foreign policy and civil rights for the most part.

Libertarians: Isolationist foreign policy. Promotes all individual freedoms and capitalism without government interference. Supports decentralization of government power and abolishment of social welfare.

Constitution: come to think of it, I don't really know anything about the constitution party

Green: Promotes decentralization and civil rights. Moderate socialist economics and supports immediate withdrawal of all troops form Iraq/Afghanistan and other foreign bases.

In other words, those who are not affiliated with a political party are called "Radicals"?!? As far as I'm concerned, that’s equivalent to calling a Libertarian an Anarchist.

I'm a member of the Independent Party HQ, because there isn't an HQ for independent voters that are not affiliated with a specific political party, and "Radical" does not accurately describe my political aspirations.

No, please actually read what i said, notice "We include communists, anarchists, socialists, social-democrats and many other sub-sects and ideologys and those who do not wish to associate with mainstream party politics."

Now where exactly does that indicate that anybody not associated with any political party is a "radcal"? Also, there is an Independent HQ for people with absolutly no party affiliation that has no connection what so ever to the actual Independent party, again if you actually read over what had been said you would see:

Can somone explain what the constitution party is?

Demonic Spoon · Joined: 20 Sep 2004 Posts: 6756 Location: Ohio

Basically libertarians, but are anti free trade and have a religious slant.

And they're called "radicals" not to demean them, but because Pepetrator, the person who requested that the forum be added wanted the name Radicals. That's how new forums come about-a bunch of people asking for them. When I came, there was nothing but Democrat, Libertarian, Republican, and Independant forums.

Here is my feeling about the two major partys...

The Republican...They spend tons of money on given other countrys and there people our money. They like pork spending and the bills in to take some for there selfs. They many of them our globalist and open borders like Bush. Only a small part care about America one bit.

Democrats...are worst and more nuts then republicans. They like to smoke dope and live in a dream world...while putting Americans down and promoting a global goverment. they like to spend alot on give our money to the mexicans. They are worst then the Republicans. Not to much more truthful!

Google's your friend.

If you want "White nationalism" and anti-semitism, I can't think of any political party that supports it off-hand. These things are rightly rejected by most decent human beings, though they're not yet illegal thanks to the proud American tradition of free speech.

You could check Stormfront (Caution: Not Work-Safe/May Be Illegal Locally) and see what groups people there recommend.

If you are looking for actual Fascist policies-- centralized governmental authority, social and economic authoritarianism, check the American Fascist Party. They are somewhat more liberal than traditional fascism, as befits the American understanding of civil rights.

edit: I am not endorsing either of these groups, to be perfectly clear. Racism is nothing more than tribalist irrationality, and the fascist practice of leader-worship protects leaders from the consequences of their actions. I am merely responding to a request for information.
