US Statehood for Iraq and Afghanistan
Manifest destiny is a major issue with the Falconist Party. Right now, America is trying to build democratic states in Iraq and Afghanistan. In Iraq, there are elements that seek to impose an authoritarian or clerical regime in the nation. In Afghanistan, while a provisional government has been established in the capital city of Kabul, much of the country is still under the rule of warlords or Tabliban remnants. Either one of these nations, through democratic process or military coup, could swing back to authoritarian regimes that sponsor terrorism.

There is only one way to guarrantee that democracy and prosperity will thrive in these nations over the long haul, and that is to admit these countries into the union as territories first, then as states.

Over the next two decades, America should be rebuilding these nations. Their thrid world economies should be rebuilt into twenty-first century economic engines. Their cities should be rebuilt into twenty-first century metropolises. America should built and operate schools that will educate the vast majoirty of children in Iraq and Afghanistan, creating a new generation of people who have embraced American culture and values.

If we rebuild these nations and the people of these nations accept the offer of US Statehood and American citizenship, America will add 40 million more people to its population and $3 trillion to her Gross Domestic Product. Not to mention America will cease to be an oil importer.

For the people of Iraq and Afghanistan, American citizenship will entitle to them to the same protection of law, civil liberties, and freedom that Americans currently enjoy. Under this current system where America rules through puppet leaders and transnational corporations, people of the third world don't enjoy the same blessings as the people of America do. We, the Falconist Party don't think thats right.

Now some people will say that is imperialist. Well would it be imperialist if these nations voluntarily accepted our offer of US Statehhod. Would it be imperialist if the people of these nations are equal with people here in America. Would it be imperialist if these people had votes in the Congress and Presidential elections. I don't think so.

Besides, can anybody tell me the difference of two nations of 25 million people each being offered statehood and 25 million people from each country comming to our shores for American citizenship? Sorry, I don't see the difference.

Furthermore, look at the success stories of American "imperialism". Japan, South Korea, Germany. Think how much more sucessful they will be if they were admitted into the USA as states.

Finally, as the U.S. Constitution obligates the federal government to guarantee a republican form of government in each state, so should the U.S. Government be obliged to maintain democracy in Iraq in Afghanistan.

So in conclusion, if we really want to extend the blessings of liberty and prosperity that we enjoy here in America, then we should offer statehood to nations like Iraq and Afghanistan. We, the Ffalconist Party believe that this is why America has been so blessed with the status she enjoys today.

What is Falconism
People have been asking me what is this new political philosophy called Falconism? In this article, I hope to answer this question. But to do so, lets take a look at the competing ideologies:

Conservatism is a champion of laisee-faire economics and laws that curb immorality and maintain social order. Conservatism also favors a strong defense and a interventionist, yet unilateral foriegn policy. I imagine the extreme of this would be Monarchism, Capitalistic oligarichy, or some authoritarian regime that curbs social freedom but gives business free reign in the marketplace.

Liberalism is a champion of massive government intervention in the economy. Liberals believe in massive spending in public works, educations, universal health insurance, and so on. However, Liberalism is also champion of social license for people to do whatever they want in their own homes. The extreme of this ideology would be democratic socialism.

Libertarianism believes that government basically should stay out of both the boardroom and the bedroom. It believes in minimal government intervention in the economy and the license for people to do whatever they want in their private lives including drugs and prostitution. The extreme of this is Anarchy.

Then there is this space in the middle, the centrist or moderate position. This position is pretty much represented by the two major political parties as well as various third parties.

However, there is this field in the political spectrum that hasn't been defined. There are people who believe that government has a role to maintain social order, curb public immmorality yet also believe that government has a role in maintaining economic order, investing in infrastructure, universal health insurance, education, research and development, as well as maintain a strong defense.

Falconism and the Falconist Party exist to make this statement.

We, the Falconist Party believe that we must make laws to restore law, justice and order in our society. We believe that religion must return to the public arena. We believe that the government has a role in rebuilding the economy; investing in rebuilding the infrastrcuture, providing universal health insurance, investing in education; and we believe that the United States of America must rebuild its military and police forces and win the war on terror and tyranny. And we believe America is in the unique position to build a better world based on free-market economics, rule of law, democracy, and Judeo-Christian values.

Now not everyone fits piegon hole into any particular ideology. However, if your values resemmble closely that of the Falconist Party, then we welcome you into our ranks. If your values don't fit with this party, then keep checking back from time to time so we may make our case. If you are still set in your ways, then we will gladly point you to an alternate political party that best fits your values.

However, the Falconist Party is here and it is here to stay. And were here to make an impact!
