Has anyone heard of the New Liberty Party?
I came across its website, http://nlp.0catch.com/nlpi.htm, today as I was looking at the DC Political Report site, and the first thing I noticed was the NLP links to the National Coalition of Free Men, an organization that is anti-feminism and anti-affirmative action. Additionally interesting was finding out the NLP was organized by Tino Rozzo, one of our [colleagues] from New Jersey. DC Political Report listed the NLP as inactive... is it Tino?
Even more interesting was when I searched this party and the first result was http://www.thelastcool.com/dh2k/html/p-newliberty.html that includes the NLP's Platform which includes the following questionable planks:
4. Equal rights for all, including males who have been victimized by a liberal system that violates their 14th amendment rights.
5. Equal rights for everyone. Equal opportunities for all, initiate end of racism and affirmative action programs that promote reverse discrimination.
The website gives the following tongue-in-cheek intro and analysis:
"The New Liberty Party, formed by Costantino Rozzo of Paterson, NJ, is touting the usual socialist rhetoric, but adds a firm stance against any policy that supports equality through affirmative action or feminism. They believe policies that single out one section of the population have set the races and sexes against each other. This is a party of the working man- but what about the working woman?"
"If any branch of socialism was going to make a splash in American politics, it might as well be this one. After all, they strongly support the rights of men - and we know there are a lot of them out there. The New Liberty Party also includes a link to the European American Information Forum, which battles the racism affecting millions of Americans with European backgrounds. If the downtrodden, under-represented white males of European extraction ever decide to get out and vote, they might be able to wield real power in the political arena - which, as we all know, is dominated by black, latino, asian and feminist interests." -- Ouch!
