Conservatives Send Open Letter to the GOP
Open Letter to the GOP
6 Feb. 2007
Dear Republican Party,
The GOP has become entirely too liberal for real conservatives. If things do not change, we will have no choice but to vote third party, perhaps Constitution Party.
Regarding the 2008 election, the following candidates are completely unacceptable: John McCain, Rudolph Giuliani, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Sam Brownback, Mike Huckabee, Jeb Bush, Condoleezza Rice, et al.
They are all neocons, all support the third-world invasion of the United States, and thus all (at least in our eyes) are guilty of treason.
Unless a candidate is chosen who is tough on immigration (like Ron Paul, Tom Tancredo, Duncan Hunter), not only shall we leave the GOP, but we shall encourage others to leave as well.
Along the lines of Russell Kirk, we support a traditional conservatism. We especially would like to address the following four points:
We oppose the third-world invasion of the United States, and want drastic reductions in both legal and illegal immigration, especially from the third world.
We oppose free trade, as conservatives historically have done. Our current trade deficit is horrendous, our economy fading, and our national sovereignty eroding away.
We oppose a liberal interventionist government and thus oppose the illegal neocon war in Iraq. The transformation of the Middle East to liberal democracy is Jacobin, not conservative.
We oppose the outrageous growth of the Federal government - at all 3 levels. We would like to see the majority federal programs and offices shut down, and for most governing authority to be returned to the states.
