If the repub assholes really had their way, what would they do to America? |
|
Edited on Fri Aug-15-08 06:39 AM by Philosoraptor
Would they seal off all our borders? Would they make English the official language? Would they wall off Wyoming and put all the black people there? Would they enslave the Mexicans? Would they reduce the min. wage to 50 cents? Would they declare America white only?
Would they force liberals to wear a large red "L"? Would they round up all the atheiests, intellectuals and homosexuals and put them in camps to be tortured?
Naaaahhhh.....they wouldn't do THAT would they?

Conservative policies and rhetoric, combined with legions of mindless, sheeplike followers, are killing America. mccain wants to finish the job bush has done so well at.

3. They would plunder everything and everyone until there is no |
|
longer anything of value left and then live out their lives in enclaves for the wealthy wherever they might be. They are too short sighted to realize that in the end, those "enclaves" will also become unlivable.
After all, we and they are citizens of a planet with rapidly diminishing resources and increasing toxic conditions. The human race is functioning like a massive "death machine" with no apparent concern that we are killing everything that we contact, including ourselves.
We could do better than that if we could figure out how to select sane leaders rather than socio-paths.

4. They Would Kill Us (Preferably Through A Public Torture Ritual) |
|
and when they ran out of us and the were taken they would wonder what happened to America.

6. Poor farms would come back because social programs |
|
of any type would be gone. Grandma would get excited when Fancy Feast was on sale.

They HAVE had their way! Even with Dems controlling Congress. The plan is to turn the U.S. into a 3rd world country. The plan appears to be on schedule.

9. Everything would be "fee for service". |
|
No more public education.
No public health.
No public transportation.
More public support of oil and other corps.
No taxes on the biggest corps, but no change on small business.
No civic planning.
More public support of "circuses" - sports teams, etc.
Less support for national health services, like CDC, FDA, NIH, food inspections, product inspections.
Bread lines. Increased infant mortality.

10. They'd rack up massive debt; invade countries for oil assets; privatize everything; kill Soc. Sec. |
|
...stack the courts with lifetime-appointed, right-wing judges; glom onto Social Security funds; appoint their family and friends to high-level government posts; reward the richest 1% further with massive buy-outs and bail-outs; promise tax cuts while they're raising payroll taxation; and nurture their unparalleled contempt for the people they're sworn to serve -- they'll just laugh about their malfeasance and manifold transgressions; all the while getting pass after pass by the spineless, lap-dog media
In short, the repub assholes have already had their way for the past 7 1/2 years. They've pulled some truly insane and highly illegal shit, and have barely broken a sweat while doing so. :grr:

11. They had a Contract On America |
|
and they were opportunists: 9/11, Iraq, Katrina.
"I don't want to abolish government. I simply want to reduce it to the size where I can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub."
They're getting there faster than even they dreamed!
"Cutting the government in half in one generation is both an ambitious and reasonable goal," Norquist stated in May 2000. "If we work hard we will accomplish this and more by 2025.

15. Steal everything that they haven't already stolen |
|
and reinstate a modernized form of feudalism. The atheists and gays would probably be exterminated by Blackwater.
We'd be damned lucky to get off as well as the Chinese are. China is at least building the one thing the Repukes hate more than they hate anything else: a real middle class. To a Repuke, every dollar in the pocket of a teacher, a nurse, a firefighter or anyone else in the middle class, is a dollar that they feel entitled to by divine right.

16. Watch ... "V for Vendetta" ... if you haven't already watched it. |
|
And if you have, then watch it again ... and again ... and again. This movie makes it perfectly clear what their vision is for our future.
