Modern Whig Party was created by veterans of the Iraq War. They shared discussions on what is best for the country. When we look into it some of the ideas are Liberal and others are Conservative. A mixture of both.

Here is what they believe in as a whole:

Fiscal Responsibility - "The Modern Whig philosophy is to empower the states with the resources to handle their unique affairs."

Energy independence - "Reduce dependence on foreign oil by developing practical source of alternative energy. This will have the simultaneous effect of changing the national security dynamic."

Education/Scientific Advancement - "Increased public and private emphasis on fields such as space, oceanic, medical and nanotechnology. Also, providing common-sense solutions to enhance our educational system from pre-school to university- level studies."

States' rights - Each state can determine its course of action based on local values and unique needs. "

Social progression - "Government should refrain from legislating morality."

Veterans' affairs - "Vigilant advocacy relating to the medical, financial, and overall-well being of our military families and veterans."

There are also self-described "General Principles" of Modern Whig philosophy that are included along with the tenets: "This includes general principles of fiscal responsibility, strong national defense and bold social progression."


So what do you say? Good or Bad?

Pretty good for a start. It would be better if these principals applied to everybody, not just the military. States' rights always cause problems. It is awkward cobbling together 50 individual little countries into one cohesive entity. Still, that's what we have.

An odd mix..

I think if we changed our foreign policy we wouldn't need to spend so much on national defense.

If we drilled our own oil and used a large percentage of the profits to help pay for alternative energy sources it would get done sooner rather than later.

Science and math should be a priority once proper communication skills are established at an elementary education level.

If you can't read or write it will be rather difficult to understand nanotechnology or micro-machining..

Very true about first fixing the elementary level in education to build up on better learning methods in the future to understand more difficult concepts.

Yes the Modern Whig Party is a odd group for they are former Democrats and Republicans that suddenly found a middle way to figure out how to resolve some of the problems here in the US. As a recently former vet myself I have observed that they campaign hard in and out of the military trying to get vets to join their party.

I personally wish that somehow the two parties would agree on more things on the floor then they do now but it seems like it will just continue to be a back and forth party power system. 4 years Democratic sometimes 8 years then the power shifts back to the Republicans for 4 to 8 years and then back to the Democrats.

In the end I hope we will come to some agreements and not resort to violence as a solution. I am tired of war and violence.
