Conservative Party of the U,S,

I was just looking up political parties when I found this, The American Conservative Party. At first I thought they could be, if they got enough public attention, the alternative to the faltering GOP. I started to read their platform page and thought that they were more in line with mainstream public opinion. They believe in small government, of course since they are conservative, that just gets out of people's lives. Unlike the GOP, the Conservative Party believes the government should not be deciding how people live their lives, so the ACP (American Conservative Party) believes that gay marriage is okay and so is abortion since the government should just get out of the way. It was their seemingly liberal social views that made me think they would be more acceptable to the American people than the current conservative party. However, I got to their stance on "Citizen Responsibilities" which kinda freaked me out. They say "Each adult citizen is responsible for the health, education and welfare of himself or herself and their family." If the ACP had their way they would effectively do away with Medicare and Medicaid, public schools and universities, and all forms of government assistance (I wonder if this includes corporate welfare?). I really don't see a party like this ever gaining popular support, and if this is what it means to be a conservative (either the ACP kind or the GOP kind) I am glad not to be one. But it goes on. They believe in preemptive strike, so we can just attack anyone for no reason other than "They looked at us funny!" Their "Education" section calls for the termination of the Head Start program, the Board of Education, and calls for the establishment of an Institute for Educational and Academic Standards which would affectively have no power over anything (talk about the pointless expansion of government). And then in their "Taxes" section they believe a flat tax would be the best option. Honestly, that is horrible. According to economist William G. Gale from the Brookings Institute, a flat tax "would raise burdens on low- and middle-income households and sharply cut taxes on the top 1 percent." Basically a flat tax would screw over the middle class and be a gift to the rich. I really hope these people never win an election...anywhere......ever.....
