Part 2 of Speech: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFsGruDpM3E&feature=player_embedded


My Platform is Three fold, and will result in world peace within one year:

STEP ONE: MAKE WAR ILLEGAL, AND LEGALIZE HEMP
allow women to grow it and to make food clothing shelter and fuel from it for pennies. And legalize marijuana too, and let women integrate their divided consciousness with a natural herb instead of doctor's pills which destroy the liver. End the War on drugs. this will take the potheads and non-violent drug users out of prisons, where you can get drugs anyway, thereby making room for the violent offenders and the real criminals--the actual threats to world peace.


STEP TWO: CHANGE THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF GOVERNMENT
Since women make up 53% of the population, as well as the work force, a MINIMUM of Green Tea Party leadership will be female, and given that one in six Americans lives in poverty, at least one sixth of the party's officials will officially be poor (since generations of rich guys running things has only gotten us here). As Congress people and senators, they will be able to become rich enough to eradicate their own poverty for generations, as well as that of those they represent simply by having access to public policy that decides where public money goes. They will simply direct public money TO THE PUBLIC, a novel idea and something which is not being done at all, ever. A small grant of 1500 dollars can enable a poor woman to start a business that can create wealth and jobs for as many as ten other people within two years.
Poor women know how to get things done well, and on the cheap. They know how to stretch that dollar.


In American, for speaking truth, women are called Bitches. I seek for next Mother's Day, a march of One Million American Bitches who can get the job done--the job of getting the food to the hungry kids in this country and thereby creating real wealth, as well as saving our rich American friends and neighbors from going straight to hell and burning there for all of eternity. This is just one of my righteous spiritual goals and solutions to the real problems in America!


STEP THREE: (MOST IMPORTANT) I WILL OUTLAW BULLSHIT
After the passage of this one law, the Patriarchy will inevitably begin to crumble, as will the concept of War itself, which is largely a large load of bullshit.


The Ruling Classes are less than one percent of the world's population, yet through their control of trade routes upon the Open Seas, the ungodly pirates that they are, control 99% of the world's resources, and move them through the world by water. They kill dispassionately and by stealing the wealth of entire communities and classes. After being arrested and tried by a Judicial system NOT heavily weighted in their favor (as now), they shall face a fate more horrifying than death (to them). These greedy moral derelicts will be forced to actually pay back the money they stole, every single plundered dime!!

2. If only...
real politicians espoused this kind of narrative (without being called "batshit crazy" or "just grandstanding", we might have a fighting chance.

5. Oops. There it is.
Just after your post. I thought that moniker was reserved for Dennis Kucinich.

She speaks truth and is an attention whore.

Go figure.

7. Oh? Is media "whoredom" restricted only to the female sex?
Edited on Fri Aug-05-11 11:17 PM by Tarheel_Dem
I think your "REAL PROBLEM" is the fact that I may have defamed the "Goddess"? :shrug:

Further, you may want to take up the term with these folks: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Whores_Online

14. Yeah, but even an idiot woman can remember to pick up her socks
and put away the milk.

I like the Church of Common Sense.

And I would like to see 53% women in the House and Senate.

Hey! If nobody else steps forward . . . ., she could be the next president of the United States. If George W. Bush could cheat his way into the White House, maybe she could get elected honestly. She is a lot smarter than GWB and probably knows more about policy issues too.

9. Go, Roseanne...
I tend to agree with GreenPartyVoter in another thread....

Can we just pay attention to the message for a moment? I'm not seeing this as anything more than the bully pulpit for the issues. I'll take that message anywhere I can hear it, and the bigger the audience, the better.

Look beyond your preconceptions, and see the message. Join the movement in your own special way... quit your general bitching about who SHE is and help show who WE are!
