I'm OK with the draft, as long as rich, white Republican men are the frontlines.. |

And the rest of us are backing them up.
(updated for clarity - few good liberals on our side)

2. Of course, that's not the way it works. Rich men and women of all races get an exemption. |

3. You know, there might actually be a few rich, white men who are good Liberals. |
|
It's not good to paint with such a broad brush and people don't get to decide the color of their skin.

4. Oh, you're right. How about rich, white and Republican men? |
|
Since they're all for war, then hell, let's boot them where the action is. Give 'em a M-16 and tell 'em to do what they think is best.

9. I am reminded of the old adage: if you could pay someone to die for you, |
|
the poor could make a pretty good living.

10. Ah yes, racism and sexism all rolled into one. |
|
What about Carly Fiorina and Meg Whitman and all those rich Republican white women?
Or black men like Allen West and Michael Steele? What about black women like Condilezza Rice?
No draft for anyone. Ever. No gender or racial lines to worry about there.

11. Yeah, right, like that's going to happen. |

You mean all those rich, white Republicans like these two from the Vietnam era?

Until we take the money out of politics, the poor man will not get his say. Having a draft means we still believe war can fix things. WAR IS ARCHAIC
How about if your a politician, if you vote for war you should not be able to make any money for as long as the war last. Donations, investments, businesses, even interest on your bank accounts, and so on, all your bank accounts should be transparent, and close family members too. (and no Swiss or out of the country accounts) Your only pay should be the same as a foot soldiers. For as long as the war last and on the weekends you should be doing community service, like recycling tin cans and such, your work should reflect, a soldiers life away from home, and sacrifice for his or her country.

While i'm at it, all who support, and profit from nuclear plants should and have to live next to them. It should be mandatory, in fact, build them in Washington DC. If you are a politician, every other weekend you and your family must volunteer and sleep next to a nuclear plant. Twice a month. All food served in the white house should be GM foods, if you support it, you and your family must eat it, if you support Fracing then you should drink and bath only in that water. We the people will come and watch you drink and eat. IF you refuse to these terms then your vote should not count. You will not have the right to vote for things you yourself and family don't support If you are pro war, pro nuclear, pro GM, want to cut Social Security, and cut teachers pay, and health care, these politicians should live these things like the common man they work for

14. They're busy mocking Cindy Sheehan |
|
and insisting this isn't "war war" like Roman Polanski didn't commit "rape rape"

16. It seemed like Obama's biggest "critics" were the ones cheerleading for "revolution" in Libya. |
|
You lead, and his supporters may follow.

17. Revolution by the working class is different from Imperialism - |
|
hint the working class don't have Tomahawk missiles at their disposal. I am still in solidarity with workers everywhere against the forces of Imperialism and I will stand with them.
