Introduction to Political Parties/Ideaologies

PLEASE PARDON OUR APPEARANCE AS WE SHIFT THE FOCUS OF OUR ORGANIZATION!!!!

 
This website is intended to show the wreckless views, ideas, and policies of Liberals and how they effect our everyday lives and how they can brainwash you into thinking like them (education and the media bias).   The first part of this site explains who I am, where I come from, and also explains what the Republicans & Conservatives are truly about.  The second part of the site is about many of the issues that I feel to be important, many of which are issues that the Democrats villify Republicans on (obviously I won't be able to talk about every issue that we face as nation, however, I will do my best to simplify and explain the ones that I do cover because I do know that for some, Politics can be very hard to grasp and people often get their facts wrong).  Much of what will be expressed here will be my own experiences as well as my opinions and when needed I will also state statistics as they pertain to various issues that I might touch on.  Hopefully, this will all culminate in a book that I intend to write in the very near future.  I strongly encourage any of you who might have suggestions, similar experiences or views on what is posted here to contact me by e-mail:  michaelchapman82@excite.com
 
Keep these definitions in mind while you read because I believe them to be vitally important.  They are important because I believe that most people (even people who believe they are educated when it comes to politics) have no idea what their political parties stand for!  For some reason they tend to believe the media when it comes to deciding their views, a media which is predominantly controlled by Democrats/ Liberals (which I will expose later).  They let the media and others think for them and they get all their facts wrong.  I have seen it happen so many times and I am tired of it and that is another reason why I am writing this book. 
 
Liberalism can be defined as a party's tendency to expand welfare benefits, regulate business, adaopt progressive state/federal income taxes, and generally use the resources of government to achieve social change.
 
*If this sounds like you then you are a Democrat/Liberal
 
Conservatism can be defined as a party's tendency to limit welfare benefits, deregulate business, keep taxes low, and generally place less reliance on government and more reliance on individuals and the marketplace to achieve social goals.
 
*If this sounds like you then you are a Republican/Conservative
 
Then again you might be a Moderate which is sort of in between the two.  You can also be a Democrat who is Conservative and a Republican who is Liberal, however, these cases are rare and generally to be Conservative means you are associated with the Republicans and if you are Liberal you are usually Democrat.  These definitions are important because as I said most people support their political party without even knowing what their party is in favor of! Obviously these are not the only things that these parties stand for, party platforms are very large and in depth in themselves which is why many people don't like politics and explains why many people are unfamiliar with what their parties stand for, so I will try and explain in more depth in later pages what the Republicans stand for.

And Lastly I would like to include something that before 9/11 had a very special meaning and now after 9/11 it has even more and that is The Pledge of Allegiance.
 
I Pledge Allegiance
To The Flag
of The United States of America
And to The Republic
For Which it Stands
One Nation
Under God
Indivisable
With Liberty
And Justice
For All
 
And Now I would Also Like to Include A Link To A Website that has The Pledge of Allegiance as told by Red Skelton.  It is an exceptional version of the Pledge which explains the meaning of each word!  I hope you have sound as well because the site actually contains a sound clip of Red Skelton reading his version while you view it on the site.  So enjoy! http://home.att.net/~poofcatt/july.html
