I wouldn't say they're too radical. They have some good ideas, but I can't say I like their God in government approach.

Still, I'm wondering how many people are thinking that the Libertarians aren't quite so scary now. Wink

Libertarians scare me more...btw.  Smiley

Considering you think that alcohol and cigarettes should be illegal, that doesn't surprise me. (I was talking more to the liberal crowd anyways Smiley)

Of course, I would prefer to mind my own business. It's not my business what someone else puts in their body - if they want to something stupid like that, I say let them suffer the worst fate imagineable - the consequences of their own actions.

And if desiring liberty is scary, then I like being scary. Wink

You took that out of context in the other thread, and that doesn't surprise me.  I think they should be illegal in public areas because of reasons that 2nd hand smoke is disgusting, and the results of a drunk are just down right scary.  You claim to desire liberty in call cases, well what about my liberty to breathe fresh air when I go to a football game?  Or just walk downtown?  When liberties of a few crush the liberties of the many, there's a problem.

Well, on the football game, the owners of the stadium can decide to prohibit somking there.
As for downtown, it's public. There there is an open for controversie.(Although I think the solution would be privatizing the srettes:P hehe jk.)

Not if the football Stadium is a Public 4-year university.

well, I think it should be privatized in the first place. Take that, statist! Tongue

The question is vague...
Too radical for my vote? LMAO. Of course.
Too radical to be allowed to exist? No.
Too radical to be taken seriously? One would hope so, but apparently not.

I can agree with this party. Their options are far better then a socialist Kerry regime.

The God and Government approach is not my cup of tea, nor is most of their platform right up my alley. I, though I disagree with them on most fronts, would never want them banned. They have the same rights as any other group.

They are a little radical though, yes.

They are an interesting thing, I do think they are too radical, and a bit reactionary, more like a States Rights type of party.  The thing where they don't seem to have staying power like allot of the smaller parties in the US (Greens, Independence, Libertarian) is that they seem to be inflexible and more against things than for things.

I don't want to ban them, but I think they may be a bit radical.

Radical or Reactionary? I always thought Radical was to the left of Liberal and Reactionary was to the right of Conservative. Anyone else ever hear it that way?

Yes, I've heard of both Left wing and Right wing radicals.

They are a good party. They lean a little to much on religion BUT I can tolerate that. Bring back the American Independence Party!

The American Independence Party is still around CA and NV I think, they are affiliated with the Constitution Party.

You're thinking of the Independent American Party, Nixon. And you are correct, it is affiiliated with the Constitution party and exists primarily in California and Nevada. As for the American Independence Party, I'm pretty sure it's dead. States, when you say bringing it back,  you mean without the segragationist views right?

In a few conservative areas of PA, there were a American Independents around as late as the early 1980's.

Nationally; how big was the party at its height.
