Regarding the article by Harvey Wasserman and Bob Fitrakis - (freepress.org, October 21, 2003), some Republicans may be leaning towards fascism, but the majority of Democrats have been leaning towards socialism for many decades. Both are forms of statism that will ultimately destroy our inalienable rights and liberties.

The solution is to get rid of both philosophically bankrupt political parties' powers and invest in a new American political party that really recognizes the Constitution instead of paying it lip service while undermining and diminishing it.

For lack of a better name, I would call it, "The Jeffersonian Party."  It would outlaw subjective laws that tend to subvert individual and property rights, diminish and phase out government social-engineering agencies, phase out the taxation (and chokeholds on the creation of wealth) on individual income, and divest itself of the unConstitutional powers it has acquired over the past 100 years at the expense of individual rights, property rights and state rights.
