A finer collection of loony, nitwit ideas I have seldom encountered.

This is indeed the modern Democrat party.

"Those tax cuts have done nothing but harm America by creating an enormous deficit. By eliminating them we can pay for health insurance for every American--that's how expensive they are."

And by doing this, won't you still have an enormous deficit?

George McGovern George McGovern, a former US senator from South Dakota, was the 1972 Democratic presidential nominee.

Since we were promised a peace dividend once the cold war ended, since no country is now threatening us and since the terrorist threat is not a military one, the present $400 billion military budget should be cut in half, to be achieved with 5 percent annual reductions over the next ten years.

It is comments like this from democrats that need to be publicized. Such comments assure a John Kerry loss.

Bakari Kitwana makes the best sense. I'd be willing to adapt his recommendations for the Republicans. Alas, the Republicans believe in this idiotic drug war as well.

Gary Indiana
Gary Indiana's most recent novel, Do Everything in the Dark, has just been issued in paperback. He lives in New York and Los Angeles.

"Ratify the Kyoto Protocol and withdraw from NAFTA and the WTO. Replace the World Bank and the IMF with a single Islamic structure that doesn't charge interest. Offer tax credits for the purchase of small, fuel-efficient automobiles. Cut taxes for individuals and couples who decide not to reproduce. Make abortions available and free at shopping malls, along with blood- pressure and glucose-tolerance tests.

Cut the military budget in half to fund healthcare, childcare, education and job training. Cut the remaining half by another half to rebuild urban infrastructures and expand public transportation. Cut the remaining half in half and give it to the families of civilian casualties in Afghanistan and Iraq."

Tell me again why the Democrats wouldn't let these views be espoused at their Convention?!

Stauds Terkel says, "Are we a life-affirming society or one that perversely courts death?"

I'm sure this person is pro-life, right?...

I didn't see a single word about individual responsibility - just a lot of hot air about how government can solve everybody's problems. The one fly in the ointment, of course, is that none of these nitwits wants to pony up to pay for their extravagant, nonsensical "solutions" to nonexistent problems. Typical Marxist crap - "tax the corporations to pay for national health care." These people all need to be put into reeducation camps.

[Phantom Lord]

Are we a life-affirming society or one that perversely courts death?

Well, we know the RATs court death and the GOP are life-affirming.

Paramilitary policing as part of the war on drugs is concentrated in poor communities and results in high arrest rates, racial profiling and police brutality, as well as the devastation of thousands of families and neighborhoods.

I have heard this for years and thought it to be liberal whinning. But then I heard someone talk about the matter of the higher arrest rates and racial profiling and it made more sense than anything I have ever heard.

In the inner citys, slums, and poor neighborhoods drug activity is IN THE OPEN and ON THE STREET. With the limited resources available to LEOs, the obvious route they should take is to go after those who are out in the open and easy targets.

There is a large number of drug dealers and users in the suburbs and wealthy neighborhoods. But to catch them, transacting and using in quiet areas, behind closed doors and raising no suspicion they would have to use far more resources. How much more would it take to catch 1 guy with an ounce of weed on Beacon Hill than to take down 10 guys on the corner in Bed Sty?

This stuff is great! I really hope that the DNC will be dumb enough to run with this stuff. Each and every proposal shows the extent to which the Democratic Establishment is disconnected from the American people.

These people really are just a bunch of wackjob fringe kooks. Normally I'd avoid making a characterization such as that about a group of people, but every day they seem to simply confirm that designation.

[Phantom Lord]

And with more than 11,000 electoral jurisdictions designing their own ballots and voting systems, all of our votes are in danger.

So we need federal election law and federal election workers designing and dictating the ballot for Apex NC Water Commissioner? I think not.

kerry, testimony before Congress, 22 April, 1971, kerry says, "I have been to Paris. I have talked with both delegations at the peace talks, that is to say the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and the Provisional Revolutionary Government,...."*(not on any authorised mission by the U.S. Government or by the U.S. military, kerry and his VVAW group meets and negotiates with the then enemy).

*excerpted from the Official U.S. Congressional Record dated 22 April, 1971.


"revamp the U.S. military", read as kerry's plan to PURGE the U.S. Military of Pro U.S. Military Veterans and Republicans, make it totally dependant on U.N. forces support for any significant achievement capable military(similar to france,germany, etc.), Turn home based U.S. Armed Forces, Intelligence agencies and Law Enforcement agencies into the democratic party's{including CPUSA and DSA} Praetorian Guard!!!!


kerry stabbed U.S. in the back continually since his return from Viet Nam. How much more backstabbing from this 22 April, 1971 testimony(self confessed traitor) before Congress that he(kerry) met with the then enemy in Paris, are we supposed to stand????

These essays collectively form one of the finest arguments for civil war should these maniacs somehow gain control of our country. We have thousands of streetlights in this land and I can think of no higher purpose for them than to utilize them for the lengthening of liberal necks. No one would argue the wisdom of killing Nazis in 1929 were it possible. How many Americans must die at the hands of these fools before we destroy them? I must say that I often wonder if we should let them take over, at least for a while, to galvanize the rest of America in steeping up from their sofa and the TV to pick up a rifle...

Terkel writes, "I suggest that the chair of the gathering should immediately read to the delegates the dictionary definition of "liberal": (1) expressing social and political policies that favor progress and reform; (2) following policies that favor the freedom of individuals to act or express themselves in a manner of their own choosing--in short, a reaffirmation of FDR's New Deal. "

At one time, liberalism represented freedom of the individual, individual rights, small government, low taxes, the exportation of democracy; and liberals were fiercely anti-communist. Was this not JFK's platform?

Allow me to quote Nobel Prize winner Milton Friedman from his introduction to F.A. Hayek's Book, "The Road to Serfdom". It is more lengthy than I would like for posting purposes, but it blew me away and provided much clarity.

He writes, "I use the term "liberal" in the original, nineteenth-century sense in which it is still current in Britain. In current American usage it often means very nearly the opposite of this. It has been part of the camouflage of the leftish movements in this country, helped by the muddleheadedness of many who really believe in liberty, that "liberal" has come to mean the advocacy of almost every kind of government control. I am still puzzled why those in the United States who truly believe in liberty should not only have allowed the left to appropriate this almost indispensable term but should even have assisted by begging to use it themselves as a term of opprobrium. This seems particularly regrettable because of the consequent tendency of many true liberals to describe themselves as conservatives."

The real dilemma to traditional American attitude of liberalism" began in the 60's with the leftist redefinition of the term "liberal". Add to that, those that came of age in the 60's began to teach my generation and the generations that followed it, the ideology of the "new" liberals.

I have not met one person who came from a country with socialized medicine that has been happy with it. It defies common sense for those that understand the laws of Economics.
