Dios nos libre

¿Qué diferencia hay entre el Libertarian Party y el Constitution Party, partidos minoritarios en apariencia similares? Mucha.
En tanto uno apela a los valores libertarios, el otro pretende instaurar (restaurar, dirán ellos) una teocracia.
El preámbulo de su estatuto sostiene que

The Constitution Party gratefully acknowledges the blessing of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as Creator, Preserver and Ruler of the Universe and of these United States. We hereby appeal to Him for mercy, aid, comfort, guidance and the protection of His Providence as we work to restore and preserve these United States.

This great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been and are afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here.

The goal of the Constitution Party is to restore American jurisprudence to its Biblical foundations and to limit the federal government to its Constitutional boundaries.
