Progressives, like myself, are not the norm in the US Military
Edited on Sun Oct-24-04 07:40 PM by MrScorpio
Every once in a while, you come across idiots like this:

>>Political Platform
If I was President, this is what I would stand for and do:


1. All abortion will be considered homicide with two exceptions, when the
mother's life is in danger and when the mother is a victim of rape.  Every
abortion clinic in this nation will be shut down.
2. All illegal aliens, regardless of employment, will be deported and the INS
would be shut down and replaced with a less red-tape bound department.
3. Affirmative action will be shut down, and people will have to rely on their
skill and merit and not the color of their skin.
4. Shut down the Department of Education and return the decision making to
the States where it belongs.  However, I would require every state to have a
graduation test in the subjects of English, Math, Science, and History that the
students will need to pass at 65% in order to receive their diplomas.  Also, I
would support the endorsement high school athletics programs to help boost
community togetherness.

5. Support a constitutional amendment to define marriage between one man and one woman.  Homosexual marriage will have no
place in the United States.
6. Declare Superbowl Sunday a national holiday so that everybody can have a three or four day weekend to get ready for, and
recuperate from the big game.
7. I would not in any way support a Palestinian State, such a terrorist nation with it's own Army, Air Force, and recognized
government would be a direct threat to America, Israel, and Western Europe.
8. Increase the number of Army and Air Force Duty Stations in the United States and abroad by 50% and Naval Bases and Ships
by 35% to help struggling economies and strengthen the fighting force.
9. Jump start the space program and put man back on the moon.
10. Tax cuts, tax cuts, tax cuts.
11. Eliminate all redundant and unnecessary social programs.
12. Give Policemen, Highway Patrolmen and United States Marshals a bigger slice of the budget and more authority to help keep
our citizens safe from criminals.
13. Create more FBI and CIA jobs, but enforce a deeper, stricter application process.
14. Stiffer punishment for drug dealers and violent activists.
15. Reinstate the HUAC and seek out all spies and those who wish to do this nation harm.
16. Enforcement of existing gun control laws and stop the creation of new ones.  The Second Amendment will not be infringed
upon.
17. Legalize gambling in all fifty states.
18. Extensive research and on all natural resources within the United States.


I retain the right to add to my platform as I see fit.<<

Dork!!

Anyway, down here in Hampton Roads, the Dem candidate vying for Ed Schrock's (remember him?) congressional seat is a decorated USMC war vet named David Ashe http://www.davidasheforcongress.com/.

He needs our support.

Enough politics. Now back to the fun

2. Lost me at point one....it's morally and intellectually dishonest.
If abortion is murder, then it is not suddenly justifiable homocide someone doesn't care for the way the pregnancy happened.

You can't be against outlawing abortion on the basis that it's homocide and then give an exemption for rape and incest.

That's the highest form of hypocrisy and I never let so-called pro-lifers get away with it.

3. hahahaha
"3. Affirmative action will be shut down, and people will have to rely on their skill and merit and not the color of their skin."

white people would be in a heap of trouble then-this guy being first!

"15. Reinstate the HUAC and seek out all spies and those who wish to do this nation harm. (Careful! Self-indicting here!)

16. Enforcement of existing gun control laws and stop the creation of new ones. The Second Amendment will not be infringed upon."

But the First Amendment will! what an assclown!

and as a point of edjycashun-"... terrorist nation with it's own Army..." It's 'its' for the possessive, not 'it's,' moran!

NOW back to the fun!

4. A response
1. All abortion is homicide, who gets executed? The mother or the doctor or both?

2. If the American Indians had that policy... but no punishment for the companies that break the laws hiring them, right? Replacing INS is a good way to create a new set of red tape to replace the old.

3. If only people weren't judged by skin color, or connections or wealth or...

4. Who's going to enforce your '65%' rule? The non-existant Department of Education? Will Science Education include Evolution?

5. Gods, are you so afraid that the temptation of legal homosexual marriage will somehow convert you?

6. Ok, I could get behind this one. But making election day a holiday would be better.

7. God forbid that a country be formed that would give the Palastinians a homeland. They might be a threat to Isreal, the guys who one every war it fought while horribly outnumbered!

8. Where are you going to get the money to build equipment and the goodwill to build bases with?

9. Not a bad idea, but there's still the money thing.

10. OH, you're going to reduce the money supply and build the military and space program with what?

11. Redundant programs like the military you're creating? How about we eliminate the Marine Corps (Army can do that job), put the Air Force back under the Army (except SAC, who could keep control of nukes, including Navy ones)...

12. Good idea, but where are you getting the money?

13. Hmmm, more recruits + higher standards? Not a bad idea, but hard to pull off and FUND.

14. Legalize drugs, you can use the money to pay for your other ideas. More punishment for violent activists? Define? Guy throwing bomb in a health clinic (that provides abortions)?

15. HUAC still exists under another name. But that's ok, the most un-American thing that HUAC ever uncovered was itself.

16. Look, the gun control laws are a mess, they need a rewrite. But why mention the 2nd amendment and not any others?

17. OK, that's one way to raise money.

18. Not a bad idea, but you still need money.

Just another internet blowhard. I have a lot of ideas too, I just don't advertise them.

8. I love how he intends to increase the military by 50%, put...
money into highscool athletics, put a man on the moon, all while promising "tax cuts, tax cuts, tax cuts". Maybe he's channeling Reagan's ghost.

9. Yeah, real responsible fiscal conservatism there......NOT
Who the f*ck are these people to criticize "tax-and-spend-liberals"!?

Of course, this idiot probably believes welfare makes up 50% of the budget.
