I consider myself socially liberal and fiscally conservative.
Here's what I would love to see:
The actions of consenting adults should not be infringed. This includes marriage, sex, abortion, divorce, and setting up of households.
The drug war has to end.
Eliminate state welfare. End Social Security as an entitlement program based on age. Instead, make personal contributions to the Social Security program a 401K investment. Make the Social Security program and the food stamp program a full safety net for all citizens who are not able to support themselves or need help. End the triple beauracracy, and finance it with the legalization of marijuana. Anyone who is hungry or needs help should be eligible. Make the payments smaller, but allow people to join households and join their forces. (In other words, 4 single moms on State aid getting $500 a month pool their resources so that they can afford a place to live and babysitting so that they can go to school. Under the current system, this isn't possible.) Even if 10% of the population were on state aid, getting $750 a month in cash and food benefits, we will still have money left over from the drug war. (It would cost about 280 billion a year for state aid in this fashion, it's less than we are spending now.)
I'm not going to be elected anytime soon.
Fungasm, I'm the same way, socially liberal and fiscally conservative when it comes to my govt spending *my money* "for" me.
As for the "Drug War" when is it going to start? We haven't had one yet!
If you want to smoke M.J. go right ahead but hard drugs *kill* people.
We know what countries those drugs are comming from!
Largely Mexico and Colombia!
And that low i.q. "YALE graduate" Bush is trying to tell us that "Mexico is our friend?" You can tell he has a low i.q. if he's saying that and expects us to believe him!
First, you secure that Mexican border with Troops and minefields, make a "no-man's land" along the entire length of it 100 yards wide, a "kill zone".
Minefields are "humane" and *extremely* effective on S. Korea's border aren't they? If you don't walk in a minefield you won't get blown up, will you?
Then, we start deporting the millions of illegal aliens from Mexico and *all other countries* who are fucking *roosting* here.
After that we shut down all communications with those countries,-internet, telephone, postal, financial, anything.
Then airline service, shipping.
Then, if any drugs get through we level one city in each country.
Fucking FLATTEN it!
And if they do it again you flatten another.
That's how you stop drugs.
Why hasn't this been done already? This is very simple stuff.
This is what we are *Paying* the people who are working "for" our govt to do and they are not doing it!
Anyone who's not willing or able to do this *shouldn't be in government service!*
Do you think for one minute that McCain or Obama would do this?
No, they'd rather "negotiate" like we have for the last 50 fucking years accompanied by a large check from the U.S. Taxpayers and nothing ever changes!
Take some pictures with the "leaders" from those countries with the caption underneith; "Drug Deal Cemented" and the very next hour it's "business as usual."
"How many rocks you need manno?"
There are a lot of countries that are *not* our friends and I'm sick and tired of my govt and State Dept trying to tell us that they are!
They are out and out *Lieing* to us!
We shouldn't be doing *any business* with any country that's involved in the drug trade! That's just common sense, something *severely* lacking in the "202" area code!
We need to start shooting a bunch of people and hanging them in public so everyone can see!
And it shouldn't take 14 years to do it!
That's how you deal with drugs.
As for gay marriage I have no problem with that.
And I'm all for a National Healthcare plan! Just use the govt. to collect the money to finance it but *not* administer it!
It's not "Socialised Medicine" if we're *Paying* for it and if we keep the govt out of it, is it?
Like Lou Dobbs I'm a "populist" who thinks that govt should be run for and *responsable* to "The People."
Right now it is surely not and we, The People, have every right to DEMAND that it is! Failing that, Thomas Jefferson had some very good advice about "changing" things every twenty years or so!
And it's no longer just people in the govt but in big business, lawyers and lobbyists that have to go!
Again, Public Hangings!
When do we start prosecuting people for Treason in this country by the thousands?
How's about we start with one Bernard Schwartz and the employees of the Loral Corp for giving guided missile technology to communist China?
As things stand right now, THE PEOPLE have no govt in Washington!
(Wow! Not bad for my first cup of coffee!)
