(cont'd) say this to promote myself. Rather, I say this so that you can see what help I might be able to offer you. I can help and want to help this party and this way of thinking. If there is anything I can do to help please let me know!
Benjamin Harrison was a Republican... But I know what you meant; William, 'Ol Tippecanoe and quite frankly it would be a BS argument on your credibility completely neglecting the content of what you're actually saying.
I agree whole-heartedly with the Whig Party and I'm glad that in it's resurgence it is what it is and not a morphed radical group. I'm a 19 yr old politician who is running for city council in San Antonio and has written a book mentioning the necessity of the Whig Party. I don't
Defending the use of the word Federalism: Others here just don't speak the political lingo. This has been used for decades now as a term FOR States' Rights. By conservatives & libertarians mostly.
The US Constitution describes a federation of states. FEDERAL became slang for the national govt. It's really just an adjective describing the govt. One where states give powers to the nat'l govt. Federalism is, in current use, returning to this power sharing, instead of nat'l govt ruling everything.
No, that isn't Federalism. Federalism is just what it sounds like, a strong FEDERAL government. States Rights is just about the polar opposite of what the Federalists would want.
...So a step up from libertarians. Better than most candidates out in today's world, but pushing state rights a bit too much I think. I don't really trust states to carefully and humanely enforce a state constitution. Individual states can be quite socio or economically differed in composition, and the minority gets prosecuted. Not that the fed is much better right now.... But the goal should be to improve the fed or cut off certain arms of the fed not just go around it to a weaker constitution
The "Anti"-federalists are the ones who are more for states rights by the way. The reason why I registered as a Modern Whig is because true leaders don't align themselves with static viewpoints, but focus more on the approach to synthesizing sensible solutions. A Modern Whig wants public servants, not politicians. It is how most people truly are in America.
Whigs are now The Liberals in the UK. Not that much cop, sit on the bloody fence and go with the popular opinions. hmmmmmmmm why revive them?

God bless the Modern Whigs.
