In an article entitled, Illiberal Statism, Mike S. Adams urges us to stop using the term “liberal” inappropriately. I agree. I’ve written too many articles explaining to Europeans that we don’t really mean it when we say it. It would make a lot more sense if we would start saying what we actually mean. My first pledge is to do my best not to use the term inappropriately.

My second pledge is not to use the term “conservative” inappropriately. Writers and politicians too often give the impression that Democrats are liberals and Republicans are conservatives. A competent writer will instead understand what the words mean and use them correctly. Conservative is no more a synonym for Republican than liberal is for Democrat. (article)

My third pledge is the most personal. I pledge not to support or vote for a candidate that does not openly promise to fight for effective policy changes for restoring the institution of family and individual rights. We are - or at least have been in ways that matter - a nation of laws under constitutional rule. I pledge not to waste my vote on anyone who I do not believe will lead the positive change back to constitutional rule.

As things look today, this means that I will be voting for candidates in so-called “third parties” next November. I do not yet know what parties or what people. But chances appear slim to nil that any such candidates will survive the Republican or Democratic Party primaries.
