Would it be viable to have four American political parties to represent each point of the political compass?  American-styled liberalism, American-styled conservatism, a bigger libertarian party, and an actual communitarian/Christian Democratic party.

I found this a few years ago, but don't remember what site it's from, luckily I saved a copy to my computer. It details 6 parties.

U.S. POLITICAL PARTIES
(NOT ON ANY OFFICIAL BALLOT)

By: Dorothy Anne Seese

American politics isn't really divided along Republican or Democrat any more.  The lines have become fuzzy, splinter groups keep creating third, fourth, fifth and sixth parties, but for all intents and purposes, major elections are decided for one or the other of the two "major" parties.
While there are some key differences between the two major parties, both "R" and "D" have differing degrees of strength, although "D" is a lot more party-cohesive than "R" has been since the sixties.  "D" knows how to follow the agenda and "R" is still looking for one.

If we strip away the customary labels of known parties, it's interesting to see what we have in America, because it explains a lot that the major parties can't, won't and never will, at least not publicly.

GLOBALIST SOCIALIST PARTY:  This party claims to represent "the people" by enlarging government, increasing taxes, and creating entitlements for those who think they're entitled. Their agenda includes not only high taxation, but innumerable government regulations, universal disarmament, and quasi-representation of the people through an elitist regime.  These folks also believe China and Russia are our friends, the U.S. should disarm unilaterally, and that we're going to have one-world government under the United Nations because it's for the people.  Well, it's also for the children.  One thing this party's members do well is to march in lockstep to the beat of the same drummer.

WATERMELON PARTY:  This party goes one step further than the Globalist Socialists because it wants a totally eco-friendly earth, fit for animals and a limited amount of humans (confined to specific areas of the globe).  However, it interacts well with Glob-Socs and when intermingled with them, it's hard to distinguish the two.

THE BIPARTISAN PARTY:  This party's motto is "Can't We All Get Along?"   They like to extend the hand of friendship to their enemies and get them slapped.  It makes them feel good that they've tried their best to be friendly.   They believe in smaller government but do not produce government cutbacks; they believe in lowering taxes but not enough to do anyone much good, and they're not quite capable of defending their position on anything because they're too busy finding out what won't offend the other side.  But they are friendly.

THE BACK-TO-BASICS PARTY:  These folks like the Constitution as written rather than as interpreted, want smaller government and lower taxes, preferably zero, and standards for morality and ethics in life, love and government.  They are quite idealistic, quite outspoken, but never collect unto themselves a dynamic leader to convince anyone except each other that they are going to save us from ourselves.   They have noble ideals without forceful plans of action, so they talk, write, complain and remind everyone that the nation is going to Hell in a handbasket.  But no one better try to take away their guns.  Just don't do it!

THE AMPLIFIED BACK-TO-BASICS PARTY:  They are ditto for everything the Back-to-Basics party stands for, but add to the platform their religious credos so that there is an absolute return to the fundamental beliefs of Pilgrims and founding fathers.   Very little difference from the Back-to-Basics party other than the religious aspect.

NON-GOVERNMENT PARTY:  These folks love liberty so much they don't want any governmental interference with it no-how!  If you ask them how much government is too much, they say either "any" or "all" and they mean it.  Their platform is to get rid of as much government as is humanly possible and let us all live in liberty.  These folks are defending the Second Amendment against all comers.   They would get along well with the Back-to-Basics party if only the B2B party would stop insisting that some government is necessary.  Well, maybe a little bit? Well, a tiny bit, provided it doesn't levy taxes on anyone at any time.  Ever.


If the count is accurate, that gives us six major lines of political thought in America.  We're trying to stuff them into two major parties that have a chance of winning.

The problem is, the Globalist Socialists are winning by hook or by crook (a lot of the latter) because they are dedicated wholly and inseparably to the United Nations agenda of world socialism and elitist control.  They've managed to get some members of the Bipartisan Party to agree with that idea.

Everyone else marches to a different drummer.

Maybe it's time the two major parties cleaved up the Bipartisan Party and got back to clear lines of demarcation when it comes to platforms, agendas and policies?

Or is it too much to expect the politicians to be honest about who they really are?
