I'm a
Dem. Can't be helped. I believe what I believe. And I
like that Clinton, which maybe not the greatest person privately, did a
lot of great things politically. One thing those Republicans never
could do was hit him on policy.
"The
time has come for the naysayers to join with the fans of this pre-emptive
striking, civil rights-squashing, constitution-shredding, global warming-ignoring,
free speech-hating, Social Security-raiding, rich guy-helping buffoon and
believe that everything's gonna be just fine."

More to come as I get pissed off about
it. Heh :)
Bush vs. Clinton
Okay, so Bush is, like,
some great war president. Whatever. When you're popular, phuck
ups get overlooked. Uh huh. Dubbya makes mistakes. Hell,
when he wasn't Mr. All Time Terrorism Tackler, he was the electoral college's
mistake. Oh, now its wrong to even say a thing about domestic policy
because Bush is God. Oh, if not for saying fly the fucking flag around
9/11 he wouldn't be seen as being so great. Patriotism wouldn't have
been associated. But tag nationalism onto the issue and to dispute
it makes you a prick. No, it makes you honest in the face of critism.
That's why Bill Mahr got kicked off air. Religion's bad, drugs are
good. He said that. Good for you, Bill! And who was it,
Steve Miller or Jon Stewart, who said that Bush parades his minority friends
around because privately he hates them. Clinton didn't parade his
best friend, a black man, around, but he was friend to the minorities.
Hell, he was everyone's friend. And when people critisize Clinton
they point to Monica. Hoofuckingrah! The economy started going
to shit when it looked like we weren't going to get another Clinton in
office. What, other than that, can you say Clinton left the nation
without it somehow improved? Not much. And hell, you can't
say the same about that son of a Bush! The first thing he did was
become the right-wingest only the moral majority would have voted in.
The overseas abortion stuff, giving taxes to the people so they can buy
a pair of jeans and improve the economy when we have a deficit and need
to be funneling that money into education. And DRILLING? Mr.
Former Oil Fucker, we know where your roots were! And what other
president had the resources and information to stop thousands of people
from getting killed? Clinton didn't have a thing about Oklahoma on
his desk, but Bush had something about Sept. 11th. Yet he was incomepetent
and did B-Fing-S about it. His approval rating hasn't seen a dent
except in New York but who is the worse president? The one who was
guilty of getting his dick sucked by a pig intern. (Dummies, please
note sarcasm.) |
Marijuana
I'm all for it. You want
to, smoke it up and I don't care. But I don't want it legal just
because it's fun or anything. There are a few reasons. Medical
purposes are one. Second, as proven with every other circumstance,
when something illegal is legalized, crime goes down. An argument
against drugs is that people who use drugs then move onto harder drugs.
Well, if that's the case, let's get them out of the drug scene. People
who become alchol intolerant don't just then run to the grocery store and
buy some heroin. Get people away from the same dealers and the drug
underworld where they get the harder drugs. Inebriating alcohol is
legal. Cigarettes are legal. But smoking inebriating marijuana
is illegal. It's close to being the same an alcoholic cigarette.
I've never heard of anyone dying from marijuana unless they were behind
the wheel of a car, which is illegal for alcohol, too. My friends
binge smoking pot or drinking...which one would you rather be worrying
about, since binge drinking kills? And for those Jackoff Jesus Freaks,
the moral majority, I'd just personally love it if they took it up the
ass because they claim its ungodly. Well, it's just as inebriating
as a bottle of wine, year 2001, and Jesus turned the water to wine.
Obviously he likes things that get you phucked up! So it's NOT against
God. Take THAT Christian Coalition! Farmers, who already can't
pay their bills, could grow it and make money. And we don't want
to grow hemp, but it's a high source of protien and in those third world
countries where they're starving, that's definitly a plus. |
Affirmative Action
Okay, going against party
lines, in education it's bad. We use it as an excuse not to improve
inner city education. I heard some black collegiate journal whinning
about how minorities wouldn't have the grades or test scores to get into
Universities. Which means they didn't try hard enough on the SATs
and didn't put forth the effort in school. So suck it up and try.
If the school is so bad, it shouldn't be so hard to get a good grade.
Pretty much, the comment just degrades the African American people.
It says that they're not able to compete, that they're not as smart.
That's not my opinion. Brains all work the same way. I didn't
got a private school. My education sucked. The only reason
I stayed in school was so that I could do the school newspaper and my internship
at the local paper. I would rather have taken the GED and the SATs
and skipped right onto college. I had a failing education, but I
made the best of what opportunties were there. That doesn't make
me dumb. I could have just as easily ended up in one of these failing
schools. I lived in a black ghetto and got the racist bullshit.
I could have ended up going to a failing inner city school. But would
I have gotten the preference over someone who went to a good high school?
No, I'm white. So why don't we just make all high school education
well off and let the student decide whether their education is a priority.
Lets put the responsibility on all people equally. It's not to say
that affirmative action is wrong. It had its place and time, giving
people their equal hiring in the workplace. But now that rasicm is
a dying belief, let's let affirmative action slowly die with it.
If you don't try hard, then your grades are going to suffer. It doesn't
matter what you look like or what your background is. So lets let
that responsibility be just as blind. |
Taxes
I think we should charge
more for taxes. I don't think our economic situation is going to
improve just because we get a tax break enough to buy a new pair of jeans.
Screw that.
From the DNC website :We
cut taxes for working parents who were struggling to make ends meet. We
cut taxes for parents who were working hard and trying to raise good kids.
We cut taxes for Americans who had studied hard and made it to college.
We cut taxes for Americans who were continuing their educations and gaining
new skills to stay on the cutting-edge of the economy. We cut taxes for
companies that were helping Americans make the transition from welfare
to work. We cut taxes for more than 90% of America's dynamic small businesses.
Why give corporations the
money, huh? They aren't going to pass on the wealth. That means
having faith in people who time and again have been willing to screw us
over for a BMW. Maybe in Japan, where they care about their workers,
this could happen...but in America? Hell no. |
Education
Education is important.
I don't like vouchers because they give a child $2,000 dollars, their share
of the tax money put toward their eduction when it takes $12,000 to put
them through any, public or private eduction. It just depends on
who is putting the money forth, public tax money or families. So
only middle to upper class families can really afford the other ten grand,
so where do improverished families get their help from? They don't.
Other than that, see Affirmative Action. Oh, but if we don't keep
people down, whose is going to be mopping the floors and cleaning the toilets
of the Crawford Ranch, huh? |
