A quote from 1944...

Received this email from a friend earlier today, thought it was worth passing along:

A quote from 1944...



If you aren't scared, you're NOT LISTENING.

What's even scarier is that Democrats aren't even afraid to refer to themselves as Socialists, Communists or Progressives anymore. That just shows how far we have fallen.

No, we have many different political parties, it's just that the Republican and Democrat parties are the largest and most successful at this point in time (which hasn't always been the case). We even have American Communist and American Nazi parties. It's just that the "third parties" almost never get enough votes to actually make it into the higher offices.

Here's a listing of many of America's political parties with a short description of their basic platform:

ohh...so its much like ours then

We have three main parties, one of which can never truely gain power, power shifts between the other two. Then a gazzillion smaller parties. Some so small they dont have any representation in Westminster at all...they just might be on various councils around the country.

I realized that you had a few independants, and a few State Soverignty Parties at State level...but I didnt realize you had the rest

[Tyburn]

Thats incredible...so you have a Labour Party

We have a Labour Party to...they've been in power solidly for nearly 12 years now

I notice you dont have a "monster Raving Looney Party" though We have one of those...dont ask me what they stand for

I'm gonna read them all later and tell you, If I had to choose a third party, which one I would choose and why

Oh and you have Two Nazi Parties. The Nazi...and the Green Nazi....LMAO...Nazi people who want to look after the Environment?? How bizzare.

Here is a weird piece of trivia: If you follow the link and look at the different "third" parties you will see the American Independent Party and a picture of John G. Schmitz. Schmitz is the father of Mary Kay Latourneau, the kooky schoolteacher that slept with her underage student and had children with him.

The Third Party


Working Families Party is the only Socialistic party I might consider. The Independance Party needs a proper heirachy before it can be considered, Not sure about the Boston Tea Party I'm undecided about the Whig party, it depends exactly what Military Centrism actually is. I could be interested in the Prohibition Party if I knew more about it. Dont know about the Reform Party. The American Patriot Party, if they ever actually put forward candidates.

Well the constitution party doesnt seem so bad. Americas Independant Party sounds a hopeful also. Independant American Party also I think has potential Veterans Party of America is also in with a chance
