“The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”

“The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude–”

Anyone that is paying attention can see THE GOP IS NOT PRO-LIFE. The GOP does not support healthcare, education, or citizen rights against government oppression; and has thwarted our constitutionally protected right to vote at every opportunity. The GOP is on record consistently voting against laws designed to protect and enhance life after a baby is born. Make no mistake, the GOP’s efforts are not about protecting children, it is about the GOP’s ‘Big Government agenda to control the liberty of more than 50% of the American people. The Centrist Party supports a womans choice and independence to make the best decisions for themselves and their families.

Note: It is hypocrisy to call oneself ‘pro-life’ and not support pro-life efforts in the care and welfare of all human beings. Voting to remove equality in care of children, education, and the welfare of our citizens is NOT PRO-LIFE. The GOP is on record for not caring about life once a child is born.

Pro-life by definition means the right to life is for all people:

Not everything is affordable because the corporations take most of the profits while not paying their fair share of taxes (while simultaneously dumping the debt and burden on those that are not wealthy). That said, pro-life means pushing for policy that makes life better for people that are in fact alive.

• Protecting the lives health and well being of adults and children.
• Protecting the rights of humans to control one’s own destiny.
• Providing equal access to educational opportunities and careers for all Americans.
• Caring for the elderly.
• Loving thy Being pro-love thy neighbor.
• Ensuring equal rights and justice for all.
• Ensuring affordable, quality healthcare.
• Protecting children from being gunned down in their classrooms.
• Ensuring the long-term viability of government benefit programs.
• Ensuring all humans have a sustainable planet.
  • Being pro-love thy neighbor is pro-life
  • Being pro-equal application of rights is pro-life
  • Being pro-civil rights is pro-life
  • Being pro-equality in law and justice is pro-life
  • Being pro-human rights is pro-life
  • Being fair and just is pro-life
  • Being pro-considerate of others is pro-life

And it shouldn’t have to be said but being pro-life means respecting a women’s right to manage her life just as much as each every American citizen has the right to mange and guide their own life toward a better, more caring and considerate life for ourselves in the communities in which we live.

Another thing to consider:

An unborn child is not a citizen yet. A developing fetus is not registered with a social security number and is not declared and registered as a citizen of the America until birth.

That said the unborn also need rights, throughout gestation and birth. And those rights need to grow with the fetal development and even human development after birth. As fetal viability becomes stronger the babies rights increase as well.

• Pro-life means no late term abortions unless the mother is in danger
  • This relates to the balance between legal status arguements of the unborn child, the rights of the mother, and the health of the child. CP considers the medical perspective as well.
• Pro-life means rape and incest are important considerations
  • This argument leans more to the rights of the mother and the heinous nature of the crimes of rape and incest. Strong rights must be ensured for the mother in these cases.

As is the norm in such considerations as abortion, a medical team needs to consult with the mother in relation to her circumstance. The Supreme Court should keep their personal perspectives out of a woman’s right to determine her own fate.

This country was founded on independence and individual liberty. The ability to make family planning decisions should not be subject to government control. If you are personally anti-abortion, do not get an abortion. If you are not pregnant, then it’s not an issue for you personally. Most Americans would not appreciate someone coming into their home and telling them how to live their lives. Members of the Centrist Party are not okay with the government coming into our homes, putting its feet up on ours coffee table and telling us how to plan our families, live our lives. Our members know that allowing the government to have a say in our family planning is just the slippery slope leading it to have a say in every party of our lives. And that is not freedom.

Corruption has infiltrated our governance at the legislative level. Undue influence from special interests and politicians beholden to those interests have allowed corruption to be legalized. This is unacceptable.

A corrupt system of governance results in a weaker nation. A less great nation. Separation of business and government is required. It is not governments job to protect the businesses with the most money; especially when money is made by buying politicians through influence campaigns. The CP will work toward reducing these corrupt influences so that business can get back to capitalism and government can get back to governing the interests of the people and the nation.

Where corruption has infiltrated the rules of governance in opposition to the needs of the nation and the people it is up to all of us to oppose said corruption. There are many cases that demonstrate how such corruption can erode or degrade the short and long term interests of the people and the nation. Anti-trust violation on scale weakens the capital system to favor a ‘corporate’ system.

The Centrist Party is Pro-Captalism. We are NOT anti-corporation. However, the Party is Anti-Corruption in order to reduce undue corporate influence, and strenghten the American Dream.

There is nothing in the Constitution about protecting corporations; and corporations are NOT people. That is an example of a corruption that has been allowed to become law. The Centrist Party will work to undue corruption that interferes with the purpose and intent of the Constitutional responsibility of our government to protect the nation and the people.

When corporate influence campaigns are against the needs of the nation and the people considered together, then governance needs to support the Constitutional obligation of protecting the needs of the people and the nation. In such instances the Constitutional interest must supersede that of the corporate interest.

There are also times when government needs to support corporate interest if such interest positively effects the Constitutional obligation in the short and/or long run. As always, applying the Socratic method carefully and deliberately in consideration of evidence and potential outcomes shall remain the guiding principle of the Centrist Party.

Authoritarianism historically ends badly for countries and people. What is important to consider is why people choose to vote for authoritarian leaders and governments. Typically it’s because authoritarian leaders use populist appeals to emotions and always blame others for problems so they can rile up the crowds to vote for them or take action on their behalf.

Ironically, the result of putting such leaders in place is a less stable government that is typically very repressive in nature.

A story, post WWII:

After the war, a German girl asked her grandfather why he supported Hitler. He said because he gave us jobs.

Well that was coming out of the Weimar and the struggles Germany had after the sanctions imposed post WWI. The restrictions were so limiting that they could not rebuild their economy. Part of Hitlers plan was to ignore the restrictions and start building a war machine. Yes, that did provide jobs. But that’s only part of the story. Hitler used damning derogatory speech about immigrants and Jews and basically anyone that was not part of the master race as he saw it.Sound familiar? This is typical of demagogues like Kim Jong Un, Erdogan, Lukashenko, Trump and other authoritarians. By riling up the masses, you can get them on your side. But in truth, Hitler, like all the others mostly cared about his own personal agenda.

Truth be told, he not only helped people get jobs he helped rebuild the German economy. But then came the repression…, the violence…, then came the killing. Probably one of the most profoundly descriptive writings about how it went down ended with “Then they came for me”.

Martin Niemöller

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

The key point here is that whether it is the indifference that allows people to cook like a frog in the pot until their rights are also taken away, or those that hope for a better future because they have an authoritarian leader, history repeats itself again and again and the end result is less freedoms, less rights, less advancement, less progress and more violence and disorder.

There should be no question about this. The future of the United States depends on how far we can distance our country, our economy, and our justice system from corruptive influence: past, present and future.

Our modern version of corruption seems laregely tied to the influence of corporations on our supreme court and decisiosn related to corporate and the influence of oligarchs in our laws. The chain of cases surrouding and consequent of Santa Clara vs. Southern Pacific Railroad are key to understanding how bad it has become.

Therefore the Centrist Party’s goal is to seek out how those corruptive influences have diminished the ability of our economy to operate in a fair, just, and equitable manner. To seek and destroy legislation that is, and has been, pushed into law to enable corruption that degrades society and the national interest. Especially when it favors corporate profits over human rights, equity in life and where it has damaged transparency in our markets.

In other words, making America great means eliminating corruption as much as possible in order to ensure and restore our traditional place as a shining beacon in the world. The idea of America as the shining city on the hill has been tarnished by corruption and corporations and oligarchs continue to attempt to replace America with a facade image so they can pretend we are still that shining city while they replace America with oligarchy, corporatism and authoritarianism.

Excessive corporatism has altered the balance of law in its own favor which is arguably against the needs of the people and the nation. This is manifest in a corporations ability to evade responsibility by externalizing its costs to the people by using the government as a shield to protect it from its own irresponsibility. That is the swamp that we need to get rid of.

• CP supports unwinding corruptive laws that help corporations, businesses, executives and owners of business to evade responsibility for actions they ‘approved’ in the course of business.
• Responsibility for our actions is a core principle that we must support.

Example: At it stands, the corporate veil allows officers of corporations to evade responsibility when their profits are held as more important than the well being of the people and the nation. Thus: business, society and government must work together in a more balanced fashion to ensure profits are not extracted at the expense of the people and the nation.

A fair business is one that takes responsibility for its mistakes. Unfortunately special interest lobbying has made unfair business the rule of the day, especially when it comes to larger corporations.

It is a sad testament to the maturity of the human race that racism is still a problem, especially in America. Each citizen should enjoy equal access to opportunity in relation to ones abilities. Equal treatment in law and justice. Equal support in education. Equal rights in the enjoyment of capital opportunity without prejudice. Such access includes but is not limited to education, employment, opportunity in the market place, and in the application of law and justice. We are all different people, but none of us should be limited to enjoyment of that opportunity due to race.

Thus, for all citizens the Centrist Party supports equality in application of citizens rights.

Abraham Lincoln fought to free the slaves and uphold the ‘United States’ of America by preventing secession.

But since then we have let slip the purpose and outcome of the American Civil War. It was the influence of racists that created a modern version of slavery through indenturement in the 14th Amendment.

This led to more blacks ending up in jail than whites, and often on trumped up charges of circumstance including developmental repression and blocking advancement, that created an environment that supported crime over and above equal opportunity for all.

It was after the civil war that the KKK reared its ugly hooded head. It was after the civil war that both opportunity and repression was increased to push down entire segments of the American population.

If you extend the logic of saying birthright citizenship is flat out wrong all the way to the original habitants of America, then ONLY Native Americans should be allowed to call themselves citizens. In other words, we have a civil right that we like. We are Americans one and all. Regardless of creed, color or caste. If you want to end birthright citizenship, then for most of us, you are voting that we are not Americans. In logic that is known as argumetum ad absurdum. And yes, it is false logic.

So here’s a thought: Let all try to get along better and treat each other fairly.

It is ridiculous this is still an issue in America. To all those that don’t like it when someone else’s skin color does not match their own try not to have a spaz attack if you see someone that might have spent some time on the beach or at the pool getting a tan. We all descend from Africans as indicated by studies of mitochondrial DNA. Thus we are all descendent of the diaspora from Africa. Thus we are all immigrants if we are not living in Africa.

Remember this, if you’re not Native American, you and/or your ancestors are not originally from America, You are either an immigrant, or descended from immigrants.

Sophistry: a concept described from Socratic thought via Plato 2,500 years ago. Generally it is a sophisticated form of lying and deception. Mostly used by politicians, it is considered by scholars to be one of the ten key reasons for the fall of Rome.

Therefore it is important to be able to recognize sophistry when listening to someone speak. Here are some types of sophistry to be on guard from.

1. Spinning a message resulting in avoiding reality/truth is sophist
2. Distraction resulting in avoiding/evading truth is sophist
3. Accusation others to evade admission of guilt is sophist
4. Obfuscation of facts is sophist
5. Using facts out of context is sophist

• The CP stands wholly against any manner of sophistry that works against the Federal Democratic Republic of the United States.

To prevent the tyranny of the masses it is critical to stand and defend against sophistry of all kinds. Especially when that sophistry undermines the principles unto which America has traditionally aspired.

The CP holds this truth to be self evident. Populist demagoguery is as dangerous to the Republic as is foreign influence. We must be on guard and be able to rectify such direct assaults on our democracy.

Be aware, in America’s history, those that have used such demagoguery have often been acting upon the interests of foreign powers. In some cases indirectly and in some cases directly and in some cases both. Recognizing sophistry is one of teh most important talents anyone can have when trying to decipher the truth of the words used by populists that focus on appeal to emotion arguments.

Note: We will work on clarifying this plank further, but for now, we want our members to understand sophistry is one of the most dangerous aspects of political and social evasive speech. We must all be on guard. Remember, if we want to know the truth, we have to examine what we might be missing in an argument and be open to evidence based substantive facts combined with careful consideration.

Capitalism

Webster defines capitalism as:

an economic and political system in which a country’s trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state: an era of free-market capitalism | private ownership is a key feature of capitalism.

Many confuse capitalism with corruption. Remember capitalism has to do with private ownership and honest business between people and companies. Corruption is about ‘dishonesty and illegal behavior’ (trickery fraud and manipulation). The Centrist Party is Pro-Capitalism and Anti-Corruption. Capitalism enables fair competition under the umbrella of law and regulation. Capitalism also is much faster than government at adjusting to market changes.

• Vital resources must be protected from resource depletion in order to sustain such markets.
• Regulation in emergency and disasters is required to prevent price gouging.
• Market sustainability is required to prevent the collapse of markets.
• Capital markets operate best when transparent.
• SEC regulation must strongly support
• Fraud and corruption weakens markets are does not serve the purpose of the fair trade of goods and services.

Capitalism often gets a bad rap because of the misbehavior of corporations and liberal rhetoric. Corporatism, which refers to the notion of holding the good of the corporation above that of the nation or the people and even above the rationality of capitalism. That can do serious harm. The enabling of corporate lobbying enhances that risk. Damage to markets, damage to resource capacity, damage to the environment to the detriment of the nation and the people can all result form inappropriate management of corporate wishes and desires.

However, capitalism without appropriate regulation risks a tragedy of the commons. Capitalism without any restraints also risks antitrust issues that have short and long term risk factors. A market with no restraints of any kind feeds oligarchy and plutocracy and corporatism. Balance is the goal to produce healthy sustainable markets.

• CP supports regulation to reduce antitrust issues
• CP supports regulation to reduce anticompetitive issues
• CP supports appropriately regulated sustainable capitalism
• CP supports sustainable transparent markets structures

CP is against market imbalances that lead to corporate hegemony. Keep in mind that capitalism is the best system to help react to market changes. Unchecked (unregulated) capitalism however can lead to market imbalances and market resource destruction, which can  contribute to unhealthy market systems in relation to their surrounding systems. Sustainability in markets is important, and thus the policy recommendations above seem to be the most reasonable in context to the problems we all face.

Also note, that in emergency events, such as earthquakes and pandemics. Price controls are required. THIS is not anti-capitalism, it is anti-opportunism. In the event of an emergency in America, it is traditional for us all to work tougher to get through the situation. It is unfair if not immoral to take advantage of those that are thrust into an emergency to profit and prey upon the misfortune of others. Thus the CP supports the relative health and safety of The People of the United States of America.

The right wing of American politics has for decades painted a picture of civil rights as something special for black people. Unfortunately, they don’t seem to read dictionaries. You see, civil rights are citizens rights. The rights that every citizen can be protected by, equally, in application and in  the intention of law and justice.

Civil Rights

adjective
1 [attributive] relating to ordinary citizens and their concerns, as distinct from military or ecclesiastical matters: civil aviation.
• (of disorder or conflict) occurring between citizens of the same country: civil strife.
• Law relating to private relations between members of a community; noncriminal: a civil action.
• Law relating to civil law.

This should not even be an issue in America. The very notion that a political party would not support in any way, shape, or form, the idea that citizens rights are the civil rights that we all are given by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights is absurd.

It is ridiculous that we still have not achieved equal application of law and justice in America. Those that are in the way continue to support a country of racism and undue prejudice. America in spirit and in our declaration of independence strove for an ideal where all men were equal under the law and in the application of justice. It is an ideal that has driven the American Dream. It is an ideal that has drawn admiration from around the world.

And yet, here we are 250 years later, still harboring the immature attitudes that foster racism and prejudice. It is long past due but we must wake up on the issue of equal rights, and stay awake. I know. That’s an idealistic statement. But America was founded on ideals; just ask Thomas Jefferson (well, read the Declaration of Independence).

Then, after the declaration of independence we created a constitution, and then after that we amended it to try to make it more fair, and then after that we passed the civil rights amendment. And things were going ‘relatively’ well (meaning still slowly improving), until around the year 2000. Then things started going the other way, because our leaders were leaning more and more toward our aging white population and appealing to their emotions. That fostered greater prejudicial racism in certain populations around the country. We need to grow up and stay grown up on this issue.

Thus,

• CP supports civil rights and policy that helps America grow up and stop being so damed racist.
• CP supports the equal application and protections of the law for all American citizens.

It really is time for ALL of us to grow up and stop playing to predjudices that are in direct contravention of the purpose and power of the United States of America.

Alternative to Cryptocurrency

Simply apply blockchain security technology to existing monetary transactions.

In other words, as of now, it might not be advantagious, or it might be premature to developing/adopting cryptocurrency as a key medium of exchange. At this time there is no ‘significant’ advantage to creating an entirely new medium of exchange but downsides are visible and manifested.

There may be a possible advantage if all transactions are tracable but loss risk to individuals would remain high if said currency is not registered properly in financial institutions. Thus, the central banks need to strongly consider accoutability and integrity of the currency in order to ensure viable use as a medium of exchange. Risks need to be carefully assessed.

Note: It is possible at CBDC currency, if robust enough, can reduce crime by ensuring tracibility of transactions. 

NGC = Non-Governmental Currency
CBDC = Central Bank Digital Currency

Cryptocurrency

NGC cryptocurrency is privately owned and controlled/uncontrolled intermediate fiat with multiple risk factors. It undermines national currencies. It enables individual, and criminal organizations to rapidly transfer funds, and it enables bad actor States to do large scale disruption through multiple types of influence.

It’s risk factors include: It is an unprotected currency unsupported by nation state financial guaranties; if you lose your password to your currency, you lose your money; If your hard drive becomes corrupted, you lose your money; If someone robs your house and takes your drive, you lose your money; If you have a fire and your drive is destroyed, you lose your money; If your drive accidentally gets erased, you lose your money; If a natural phenomena occurs that disrupts drive function, you lose your money; If your drives experiences an unrecoverable file allocation error you lose your money.

• Analysis of crypto NGC shows it is mostly used for criminals and as a trading instrument.
  • Thus, crypto NGC mainly extracts/limits economic flow of currency.
  • NGC crypto on scale does not add to the economy.
  • NGC crypto mainly extracts real dollars from economic flow.
• Cryptocurrency is a fiat that is not backed by Nation States.
• If countries adopt cryptocurrency, there is a large risk to their national currencies.
• As a median exchange unit it can easily be used to add yet another surcharge to transactions thus making it inflationary.

NGC Crypto Issues:

• For individuals: to lose a bitcoin wallet simply means to lose all your money. For example, let’s say you  ‘lose’ your hard drive where your bitcoin wallet is…, or let’s say the drive just becomes corrupted, which happens…, well, you just lost your money.
• Generally bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general is a dangerous proposition. It is a way however to hand more power and money over to criminals and corporations. In other words, it’s really just a way to support the swamp rather than secure our monetary system.
• NGC crypto currency is not State guarantied.
• Essentially NGC crypto is pure fantasy. It represents no hard value other than it’s ‘assumed’ value.
• The NGC crypto bubble is more dangerous than the Tulip bubble (boom/bust potential).
• Even a CBDC can increase currency destabilization if not established in a secure manner to value.
  • Example: Let’s say you can put CBDC money on a thumb drive. Imagine you’re a CEO and need to bring 100 million over to another company. You crash your car on the way. The car catches fire. You and your crypto wallet burn up in the fire. What board of Directors would approve such an action/transaction?
  • Already millions upon millions of NCG crypto dollars have been lost, destroyed or hacked. IT is a very dangerous way to move/store value.
  • Thus, even with CBDC, combined with bankruptcy laws,  the costs of such an apparently foolish endeavor would be externalized to the State, and thus to the taxpayers.
• The ONLY area of ‘non-risk’ for NGC cryptocurrencies are the brokers of currency who continually extract profit from the system via transactions. In other words, the banks and investment trading firms. Such monetary accumulation is minimally productive and largely extractive. In this sense it is a negative for an economy overall. Removes capital from productive economic flow where only brokers benefit (Remember, trickle down economics has already proven to be mythic in nature and thus insufficiently helpful to economic function).

Generally speaking, the rhetoric about how great NGC cryptocurrency is ignores how risky an idea it is. From increased crime and fraud to the ability to fund terrorism or secretly fund a coup. The risks are many. And the very idea that it consumes massive amounts of energy to mine bitcoin should tell you more than you need to know. NGC crypto risks are many while proclaimed benefits can be achieved my other means. Some claims are based on a fantasy and NGC cyrpto is a highly unstable form on monetary exchange as demonstrated in volatile market fluctuations.

“I, (name), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the president of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.”

Criticism of Charter Schools: “Charter schools are not public schools.”

Claim by Charter Schools: “As defined in federal and state law, charter schools are public schools.”

• Most charter schools are privately owned by a private company or private trust. Also, private Education Management Organizations (EMO) are often involved. It is also common that teachers are ‘private employees’ of the EMO that are leased to the school.
• In charter schools managed by EMO’s many key decisions are made out of State. Public schools are subject to transparency laws. Charter schools and their private operators generally resist/refuse to share information and data regarding public requests.
• In other words, charter schools generally claim to be public schools but use layers of corporate and private veils to mask and hide data, while utilizing public taxpayer money to fund their operations while masking or hiding profits.

This is only one argument regarding charter school propaganda, out of 21 arguments charter schools use that are not supported by objective evidence.

It is important for people to understand that the State mission abroad is key to success in achieving security at home. As history has shown, without strong understanding, and strong relationships, and support for Republican Democracy, dictatorial authoritarianism can take deeper root and grow. Allowing that to happen reduces American influence and power toward upholding the principles of the founding purpose of the United States.

The Declaration of Independence clearly outlined our goal. To be free and independent of authoritarian or dictatorial rule.

In the case of US foreign policy, one must address international issues that can impact America in the short and long term. 

1. CP supports ending for profit prisons
2. CP supports strong efforts to reduce recidivism rates
3. CP supports policies that reduce crime and incarceration
4. CP supports better separation of social issues and injurious crime
5. CP supports a focus on education and job training.
6. CP supports a greater focus on reintegration
7. CP supports restoration of voting rights once sentence is served.
8. CP supports all prisons become strong education centers

Somehow it seems strange that this is controversial; and the CP’s goal is to reduce controversy and predjudice regarding sexual orientation. It also seems strange we need an alphabet soup to describe who we are. This is the purpose of describing us, the people, as Human=H.

If you’re tossing letters in the soup pot, then why is it just LGBTQ? It can be argued that LQBTQ is itself predjudicial. Why isn’t it LGBTQMFAPC?

LGBTQMFAPC

1. Lesbian
2. Gay
3. Bi-sexual
4. Transexual
5. Queer
6. Male
7. Female
8. Asexual
9. Platonic
10. Cisgender (aligns with sexual assignment at birth)

At a minmum it should be LGBTQMF. Why are Males and Female identifications left out? Maybe because those are traditional descriptors and thus not exceptional? Maybe.

But humans to tend to clump into groups of interest and identity. Still…, that seems immature; but it is also human nature as we experience it.

Individual biology, genetics, and liberty should be respected in America. Biologically, who you are is a matter of ones own reality. And ones own reality is has many different aspects. How you see your self is a matter of your own reality and/or choice. Neither of these realities should be automatically controversial.

Group-Think(ing)

The fact that people tend to gather in groups or similar ‘lifestyle’, belief, social circumstance, or interest is ‘normal’ human behavior. However, the Centrist Party would like everyone to consider that our main group is human. That is what we all have in common. We should not allow race, creed color, gender, or orientation to get in the way of the simple fact we are all human.

Three percent of hate crimes in the FBI database in 2020 were based on Gender Identity. It is silly to attack another person simply because of differences. We as citizens and patriots of America neet to get over it.

People are who they are, and who they choose to be. Hopefully we can all relax on this issue and reduce predudice in all areas of race, creed, color, gender, and orientation. In other words we all need to continue to grow up, hopefully to the point that gender and oreientation hate crimes drop to zero and we all learn that we are equal, at the least, in the category of simply being human.

The Centrist Party supports the fact that we are all ‘Human’.

Creed, color, caste and orientation does not, and should not, matter when it comes to us living together as citizens in the United States of America. The great melting pot as it’s been called. While certain groups of candidates choose to divide people and America, The Centrist Party focuses on recognizing we are all Americans, and we are all human, and we all need to work together in order to achieve greater outcomes for our lives, and our country.

People can call themselves whatever they want, but that won’t change the fact we are all human. And that is the basis for the rights we are supposed to enjoy as citizens of The United States of America. Equal access to opportunity, equal application of justice and the law.

FBI Stats

FBI statistics show a substantial amount of registered hate crimes are based on perceptions regarding sexuality. The majority of hate crimes are still race based though. But in no way does that diminish the heninous nature of hate crimes in general. All hate crimes are bad.

Hate Crimes Categories as of 2020; FBI Stats:

• 63.3% Race/Ethnicity
• 17.6% Gender/Sexual Orientation
• 15.1% Religion

There has been a large scale push for decades to categorize people more. If a group experiences predjudicial treatment against, then that group tends to argue for acceptance. This is also normal.

With regards to sexual orientation we began to see in the 1980’s, the letters LGB for Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual. In the 1990’s, we began to see LGBT to also include transexuals. And more recently we see LGBTQ which presumably includes Queer.

The left argues recognition is needed to reduce sexual identificatoin predjudice. The Democrats push the all inclusive model of acceptance and say that recognition is key to acceptance.

The GOP pushes the idea that sexuality is completely binary even though science clearly demonstrates that sexuality is not completely binary.

There are multiple factors in human sexuality to be considered. And common sense still says that we are all human. Factors regarding sexuality include:

• Genetics
• Biology
• Birth order and number of births (recessive gene)
• Social orientation
• Environment

All of the above factors are being examined through science and statistics in physiology and sociology. Choice or no choice still should not matter. It’s not your business to judge another person simply based on differences. At the same time we all, judge each other. It does not matter that the bible says we should not judge, we do it anyway. There might be some super humans out there that don’t but has anyone ever met someone that never cast ‘any’ judgemnet upon another person?

The simplest solution is simply to accept that we are the human race. Color doesn’t matter. Caste doesn’t matter. Creed doesn’t matter. And whom people are attracted to is a matter of reality for each individual. For example: if you are not homosexual and don’t want to have a homosexual relationship, then don’t. But don’t think you have the right to condem others if they don’t see the world exactly as you see the world.

Science:

The science of sexuality shows us there are multiple factors. Chromosomes, neurochemistry, biological influences, environment, even personal choice give ones own circumstances, any any combination of such factors. The Centrist party’s position is not about right or wrong, it’s about human rights.

Why anyone chooses one person over another regarding attraction or personal identification is reliant on any combination of factors, but our goal is to see people as people. Not male or female. Not black or white, or yellow, or red. Besides, if we look at ourselves in grayscale we are all simply shades of grey. And genetically we are all decedent’s from Africa.

So, let’s grow up and realize we are the human race.

During the Constitutional Convention of 1787 the Founders and State leaders argued out the points regarding a loose conglomeration of ‘States’ verses a ‘United States’ of America.

The results: Only a ‘United States’ of America could become a truly great nation. An ‘Un-united States’ of America would leave America weaker due to its inability to make decisions on behalf on the ‘National Interest’. If each State pursued its own interest the combined power of the United States would not be possible.

Thus, as demonstrated in the US civil war, secession is neither good for America, nor is it desirable as it opposes one of the key components of what makes America a ‘Great Nation’. Therefore, the CP does not support secession of States.

The notes regarding these arguments are contained in The Federalist Papers written by Founders Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay.

The CP is open to any system that can solidly, fairly, justly an appropriately improve the quality of the vote to achieve better elections.
