Liberty & Ethics

No Morality Police:  I decided to put the "Morality Matters" essay on a Revived Citizens Party blog page where people can link to it from this post.  I'll admit that I was concerned, here in Federal Way and the 30th Legislative District, that my views might be distorted as Miloscianesque even though there are big differences between me and that Mark when it comes to the subject of ethics and morality from a governmental standpoint.  On the whole, I don't believe the government should become intrusive in venial moral matters that are basically personal liberty matters that don't really or actually intrude on others.  That's another way of saying that the government shouldn't be a morality police when it comes to victimless though different or unconventional lifestyles as long as it doesn't really affect others.  "Victimless," however, can be a debatable word, and there does have to be a certain though reasonable amount of community standards on particular matters that may affect everybody, so I don't hold extreme views on either end of the spectrum.  Liberty and ethics can coexist, after all.  That should go without saying.

Mark Greene for Federal Way Mayor

I am officially announcing for Mayor of Federal Way, today, as I was able to obtain sufficient resources to file with the Elections Department on May 18th, 2017, and able to run a full campaign until the August 1st Primary, and hopefully beyond. This All-American Relief campaign will start picking up steam around the beginning of June, as now I'm concentrating on getting about 100 signs on the ground.  Next week, I will be sending out press releases to the major publications in our area: the  Times , the  News Tribune , and the  Mirror.   For more information about this campaign of common sense philosophy and patriotic fervor, see my website and keep up with the posts on this blog, as they usually come about twice a week or more. -- Mark Greene, Official Candidate for Mayor of Federal Way Campaign Website:  ALL-AMERICAN RELIEF Campaign Blog:   FW Politics

Globalist Folly

We tried to get by without ever mentioning Colin Kaepernick's name on our blogs or websites, but the fake news media is running with the ball, so to speak, so just to let them know that their, Kaepernick's  and LeBron James' propaganda doesn't work with the Revived Citizens Party, the RCP stands as follows: Starting with multimillionaire Kaepernick's decision last year to metaphorically thumb his nose at the National Anthem, "The Star Spangled Banner," and to sit on the bench or kneel on a knee while the Anthem was playing, because he thinks America has too many faults or something like that, he became the Pied Piper of disrespecting national symbols, particularly the Anthem, apparently until the country yields to whatever his particular idea of what a nation should be is.  However, even if Kaepernick's concerns do merit some kind of national rectification, which they may well indeed, when would our natio...
