Now that Bush has won re-election with a strong popular mandate and Republicans have strengthened their position in Congress, here is what I'd like to see accomplished over the next four years:
1. Close our borders and deport all illegal aliens. Combine the US Border Patrol and the US Coast Guard into a fifth branch of the US Military for the purpose of homeland defense. Construct a contiguous, militarized, defensive border wall between the US and Mexico. Increase troop patrols on the Canadian border.
2. Prosecute the War in Iraq (and the War on Terror) with decisive and overwhelming firepower, including the razing of resistance strongholds. Stop placing our troops at increased risk in an effort to fight a limited, politically-correct war. Massive retaliatory bombing and shelling strikes for every act of terrorism, particularly the kidnapping and beheading of hostages.
3. Enact an expedited and strict death penalty process for acts of terrorism -- including so-called "eco-terrorism" -- or treason against the United States. (If the US can do it to Timothy McVeigh, they can do it to the rest of the terrorists and traitors.) Dedicate more resources to infiltrating and prosecuting internal terrorist organizations.
4. Appoint -- and fight for the confirmation of -- true CONSERVATIVE, non-activist judges to all the currently vacant federal benches and the SCOTUS.
5. Extensive Tort reform.
6a. Passage of a US Constitutional Amendment declaring marriage to be only between one man and one woman. (We obviously have momentum on this now.)
6b. Include in the Amendment that the government shall not grant any special civil rights to "sexual orientation" including gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transgenders, or other sexual dysfunctions.
6c. Include in the Amendment a prohibition on the public funding, subsidizing, or facilitating of any sex-change operations or other "sexual orientation" conversion.
7a. Rewrite of Amendment XV of the US Constitution so that it abolishes ALL government-sanctioned racism (AKA "affirmative action").
7b. Add to the rewrite of Amendment XV that no public or governmental service shall ever be denied to anyone based on race or sex, and that it is illegal to write legal contracts that bind future parties into discrimination. However, affirm that private individuals and businesses have the right to freely associate or not associate with whomever they may choose.
8. Passage of a US Constitutional Amendment declaring English to be the official language of the United States, and that all government business shall be conducted in English only, and that all government publications, forms, and documents are to be published only in English.
9. Abolish the IRS and implement a fair consumption-based tax plan that taxes everyone equally with no deductions, exemptions, or loopholes.
10. Create a privatized retirement account alternative to Social Security.
11. Enact a national nuclear energy program. Drawing from the expertise of the US Navy's nuclear program, design and approve (including EPA approval) a single universal reactor design.
12. Enact strict, mandatory federal penalties for identity theft.
(Actually I believe it’s “hope” in one hand… whatever)
I ain’t expecting much, seriously. He’s shown you what he is and how he works and it isn’t impressive at all to me.
I had practically sworn a blood-oath not to vote for the nut except for a single interview I heard several weeks ago.
It was with that Richard Miniter guy and was about his book “Shadow War: How Bush is Winning the War on Terror” or something like that.
He had spent about a year traveling around the world interviewing people involved with tracking down terrorists. He’d been in Iraq, Jordan, Turkey, Pakistan, the Philippines, Indonesia – all over the place. He claimed there was a LOT of behind-the-scenes stuff going on and that GWB and countries working with him (that you’re not even hearing about) are taking names and killing and imprisoning them in large numbers.
I still haven’t read the book but the author presented a compelling-enough case for me to very (VERY!) reluctantly vote for him (again, like a dope I'm afraid). It sounded like he knew what he was talking about. And, being in CA it isn’t going to matter much anyway.
I liked a quote attributed to Melanie Morgan at KSFO this morning. It was something along the lines of “now that we’ve reelected George Bush we can get back to normal – griping about the crappy job he’s doing.”
That pretty much sums it up for me.
Number nine
Number nine
Number nine
AND
Number nine..most of the rest will follow suit.
revoke hate crime laws
Your list is good; however, I want to exact a little personal retribution: I want to see George Soros, Dan Rather, Terry MacAwful, Joe Lockhart, Jimmy the Enforcer Carville, and the reat of the DNC/MSM "leadership" run out of town on a rail.
Amen to your entire list, especially 7b.
Eliminate "hate crimes" laws, thereby puting no one in a "protected class" unless that class is law enforcement, and children.
Remove rogue Judges, and in the Amendment, make it illegal for them to make laws, change the constitution in any way, or hear a case that are madated to be voted on by the people.
Limiting the languages used in government publications that are used to help fight the spread of communicable diseases is against the public interest.
Close the borders NOW!
Have to agree with making English the official language. It ticks me off so many fake not knowing English until their paycheck is late.
IMO, this needs to be # 1
Abolish federal education spending.
Repeal GCA 68 and any other gun control laws I can find.
Amendment to repeal direct election of the Senate.
Either stop illegal immigration from Mexico or annex Mexico.
Get rid of the electoral college
/puts on flame resistant suit
hope IS on the way
First thing we need is our victory dance. We need to organize with our locals and do something this weekend, Lord knows we EARNED IT!
Yes and ban the teaching of this foul sexual orientation and techniqes disguised as "tolerance" in our schools, and colleges!
right on brother. I forgot that one.
Hope is on the way!
Include an expanded missile defense sheild in #1 (securing borders...)
20. DE-FUND the NEA, PBS, NPR
21. Repeal Title IX
22. Pay Raise for members of the military
23. ELIMINATE AmeriCorps
I agree with the national right to carry. However, I disagree with carry aboard airlines. It would be irresponsible considering that one person with a firearm could conceivably (although unlikely) down the entire aircraft.
I do believe the FAA should require isolated, impenetrable cockpits (i.e., no passage possible between the crew cockpit and the passenger compartment).
Agreed! How did I forget this one?
