America needs a new political party. Notice I did not say "a third" or "another." Face it, the USA is a two-party (alternating one-party?) system and that's the way it will be. But that doesn't mean any two particular parties always have to be there. It wasn't always Democrats and Republicans, you know. Parties die and are born.
The Republican Party is dead. What we need is a new party to take its place. Not on the right. A new party to the left of the Democrats, to push them where they belong, on the reactionary side of the spectrum. They're all one party anyway, the Corporate Party. They agree on all the basics, and argue passionately over details. We need a party that:
Opposes empire
prioritizes personal liberties
brings corporations and other ngo's into check
fights for redistribution of wealth to the working classes, without resorting to confiscatory mechanisms that are contrary to personal liberty
and more. The start of Game Six looms ever larger over this blog. I am predicting that the Yankees close it out in 6. Pettitte can get the game to the last three innings, and the Yankee bullpen will beat the Phillies bullpen. Teixeira will have one of the game's most crucial hits, and will make at least one run-saving HOLY SHIT! defensive play. Ryan Howard will hit a solo home run to tie the game in the sixth inning and chase Pettitte. Mariano Rivera pitches the last two innings and brings the winning run to the plate at least once. Just to make it interesting.
