As We Move Toward a Federalist Position

As we move toward a Federalist position in national politics, bringing more and more power back to the States, we want to avoid being too strident, too angry, or looking like a populist or racist jihad---this shuts the door.

Revitalized Conservative development, accepting small inoculations at a time without overwhelming the system, Ordered Evolution, is the way to go. Even the secessionist movement is too revolutionary.

We do require some form of economic nationalism to protect our manufacturing base, which, along with national defense, and keeping the peace with general justice, are about the only things national government should be involved in.

To repeat, we are talking here about a loosely connected Leave-Us-Alone coalition of: Populist, grass roots, gun owners, school choice, home schooling, term limits, property rights, religious advocacy, tax limitation, small business owners---and we add (although some of these need to be tamed down) the New Right, national anarchists, localists left and right, libertarians, secessionists, etc.

It will be long and slow, like moving through the mud, but it appears to be the only game in town, baring any big unforeseen events, which could change the speed of acceptance or rejection.
