America First Party (2002)

The America First Party is a paleoconservative third party in the United States.

The party was formed in 2002 when a group of Pat Buchanan supporters left the Reform Party. The party is pro-life, opposes all gun control, seeks to end affirmative action, racial quotas, and illegal and unlimited immigration. Buchanan himself has never publicly professed any affiliation with the party, though his books are for sale on the party's website "utographed... specially for the Party". The AFP has attracted individuals such as former Boston mayor and ambassador to Vatican Raymond Flynn and former John Birch Society president John McManus. The party's web page shows recent press releases and articles on current issues which showcase the organization's positions. Until 2010, the AFP also published a 12-page newspaper which illustrated its policy positions and focused on current problems in government.

    “Let a man attain the highest and broadest culture that any American has possessed, then let him die by sea-storm, railroad collision, or other accident, and all America will acquiesce that the best thing has happened to him; that, after the education has gone far, such is the expensiveness of America, that the best use to put a fine person to is to drown him to save his board.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “A baby changes your dinner party conversation from politics to poops.”
    —Maurice Johnstone (20th century)
