If
you're expecting to find a bunch of pickup truck driving,
Confederate flag waving rednecks who still hold grudges
over the Civil War, you'll be disappointed by the new
Confederate Party, whose main tack is decentralization
of the Federal Government and restoration of state's rights.
While their name has historically racist overtones, the
party insists they are not racist, they are merely against
multiculturalism, preferring a more isolated racial individuality.
Hmm. Not exactly calling a spade a spade, are they?
OFFICIAL
PLATFORM STATEMENT
FROM THE OFFICIAL WEB PAGE
Pulling
control out of the hands of the Federal Goverment is the
key issue for the Confederate Party, whose platform would
strongly limit the reach of the Feds in favor of State
sovereignty. They follow the standard arch-conservative/constitutionalist
ideology that calls for the elimination of foreign aid,
the United Nations, the World Bank, the World Health Organization,
the IRS, and the ATF. They'd also eliminate the income
tax and replace it with a National Sales Tax. Unlike other
parties that hang out on the right side of the political
spectrum, the Confederates support the legalization of
Marijuana. Needless to say, the Conferates are against
any sort of gun control.
THE
DARKHORSE2000 FISHY-EYED ASSESSMENT 
Limiting
the powers of the Federal government may be appealing to many
conservative voters, BUT it's doubtful that the mainstream will
be attracted to an organization that classifies non-regulated
gun ownership as a "family issue" in their party platform.
By
the way, the last time we tried to visit their site, we discovered
it is now password-protected. Oh, well - maybe they were having
a problem with carpetbaggers.
We
checked with our clandestine contacts below the Mason-Dixon Line
and they reported that they thought Confederate Party seemed to
be more a matter of a couple of good ol' boys with a website,
rather than a legitimate political movement. If anyone down there
has any information to the contrary, we'd be much obliged if y'all
would let us know.
