I'm starting the Rejectionists' Club of America. Want to join?

[sinkingfeeling]

The principles of the Rejectionists' Club of America, or RCA, are based on the following 6 pillars:

1.) We reject George W. Bush as President of the United States, and thereby, all of his administration, executive orders, his appointments to all positions within the government and his place in history. We demand his immediate resignation and revoke any government pension or funding he may have expected, including life-time Secret Service protection.

2.) We reject the American Empire and demand that all US military bases, sitting on prime real estate, in all foreign countries be dismantled unless the 'host' country requests we remain there.

3.) We reject the illegal and immoral invasion and occupation of Iraq and demand an immediate removal of US troops from within its borders.

4.) We reject the efforts of the American Taliban to impose their beliefs on the world. We demand that the FEC immediately shutdown TV channels devoted to 'Christian' broadcasting and return the airways to the public.

5.) We reject the redistribution of wealth from the poor and middle classes to the the top 10%. We call for the revocation of all tax cuts passed in the last five years.

6.) We reject the very idea that a corporation has equal standing under the law with an individual human being. We therefore revoke all tax 'incentives' provided by Congress to corporations passed during the last five years, reinstate federal regulation of industry, order all US corporations to honor their prior pension and health benefit commitments, and rescind the laws protecting corporations from lawsuits.

Care to add, change, or modify?

1. Well, to be a bit pedantic

does rejecting a Rejectionists's CLub disqualify you or autoqualify you ?

[sinkingfeeling]

4. I think you'll have to ask Bush that question.

7. I wouldn't belong to a club that didn't reject me.

[Spinzonner]

8. No need to get all Groucho about it

11. I think he stopped listening a few years back . . .

:evilgrin:

2. Sounds like a damned good start! Well done!

I'll work on some suggestions for additions. We have to kick-start a US insurgency and this may be a good way to do it. Be plain, forthright, and honest. No mealy-mouthed words and no euphemisms. Straight talk and no BS!

3. we reject rightwing machines counting our votes!

count me in.

[sinkingfeeling]

5. Oh yes, forgot that one....we're already up to 7 pillars!

[RandomKoolzip]

6. I'd rather join an organization that's not as reactionary.

Can we just propose constructive policy without the "We reject!" part?

[sinkingfeeling]

10. Sorry, but I want to start an insurgency or rebellion! I want the people

of the US to take back our country. Besides, 'rejectionist' is Bush's term.

9. I agree with all but number 4

Seems like censorship to me.

Although 2 is kind of cynical (of course they'll agree to let us stay there. We'll see to that), and under six, I'm not sure I favor a broad brush to tax incentives; some of them might be beneficial (in that they reward good corporate behaivor).
