Darrell Castle was the Constitution Party Vice Presidential nominee and is currently the Vice-Chairman of the Constitution Party National Committee. This essay appears at the Constitution Party of Tennessee’s website:
“We all want progress, but if you’re on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive.”
C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
For centuries we have used politics to create boundaries for mankind on the earth. Boundaries for many countries are simply invisible lines drawn on a map with complete disregard for race, ethnicity, religion and other tribal factors. Quite often these invisible lines were drawn by colonial powers expecting those who live there to abide by them or suffer the full might of the colonial power’s military.
The failure to recognize and understand tribal loyalties and the strong pull of unifying forces such as race and religion have provoked and still do provoke conflict around the world.
For example, the Durand Line separating Afghanistan from Pakistan was a British colonial separation of two tribal areas that has continued to experience virtually uninterrupted conflict. Iraq and Saudi Arabia are two artificial countries pieced together by colonial powers. Iraq’s recent history is well known, but now Saudi Arabia has started to experience unrest and the army has been called in and mass protests declared illegal.
@7 Shockingly enough, some people do know your name. They may have even seen it in a state newsletter or on the ballot some years back.
me-Dang PAC, I was hoping to delay the feds from sending those annoying rays they send my way. Oh well back to wearing the “TIN FOIL” hat for a while.
I did do the newsletter for a year or two! That was fun but hard work too !!! I was in the magazine business at the time. Man I thought that monthly deadline came too fast. Now that I’m getting older the months go by even quicker >zoom>zoom>zoom…
To whom it applies- Live your youth to the fullest !!!
PEACE
stop all war
Out of the people you list, Quirk, Grundmann, Seideneberg and yourself post here often enough for me to have much of an opinion, and I’m taking no sides between y’all. Honestly, those “discussions” tend to make the LP and Greens look good by comparison.
in the post just previous
Actually I just plain missed that part. It happens.
you allow the felonies of Dr. G and cyber bully Quirk Boy to float by while you spot light the misdemeanors of Mark, Mark, Ed and Donald!
You may have noticed that I stopped Cody yesterday when he was impersonating someone else that was posting at IPR in an attempt to make that person look even worse, as if he/she needed help in that department.
‘and every high school student in America’ ……… in the post just previous

It is a Great post by Lake, I wish every adult American and high school student could read it, but I repeat myself don’t I? A LOT !!!
BTW I was away a few hours and came back and my title and info was blank so I just changed it for a while when I refilled it. Whoever might care,no one knows my real name anywhoo, will know me by the SAME old party line I babble-lol
Mr. Lake, what does your comment have to do with this article? We have an open news thread for a reason.
WB/IMF Concludes Annual Meeting—US Says It Will Double Down: http://constitutionpartyoftennessee.com/2010/10/12/wb-and-imf-concludes-annual-meeting%e2%80%94us-says-it-will-double-down/
Mr. Castle’s article links to the above, which is a must read also. It’s past the time to understand what’s happening to us/U.S and the world….
speaking of students ………. Employees are Underpaid ………. but …………
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/02/27/1500-teachers-paid-union-busin…
This article discusses the NYC schools where 1500 teachers are paid their full salary to only teach some of the day and then spend the rest of their day on union activities.
In this group there are 40 teachers who work only one class and then spend the rest of the day on the taxpayers dime working on union business where they are also paid by the union. How is this not a conflict of interest?
And based on the examples in the article these are some of the best paid teachers in the city.
One specific teacher they use as an example makes $100,000 a year to teach one class a day plus an additional $50,000 by the union.
Now that is overpaid, no matter how you slice it! How do negotiators let things like this happen?
I wonder if these negotiators are former teachers who moved into administration? That would explain some of the sweetheart deals. Talk about corruption.
“Brzezinski’s plan has obviously been adopted and has been and is being employed in the Middle East currently. Uncooperative dictators are being removed and more cooperative ones replacing them.”
A man who understands – BRAVO ! Outstanding article Mr. Castle.
If every adult and every high school student in America read this entire article, and researched it for themselves, perhaps we could STOP these traitors once and for all…
and any comments on the Ferres Doctrine, divorce guide lines, CDVA / CALVETS, and, oh yes, the alamo ???????????
