A liberal - To the Republican community.
1. What are your goals as Republicans?
2. Is your goal to make Liberals to leave America?
3. If you want us to stay, when does this country go too far to the right?
4. If you want us to leave, will the US government pay for our plane tickets?
1. End tyranny, free all mankind.
2. End terrorism, all self appointed political murderers rendered dead or impotent.
3. End the spread of nuclear technology and weapons.
4. Keep the US the world's strongest power without a rival.
5. Use that power to defend freedom, order, and prosperity throughout the world.
6. End abortion, let all the unborn live, a culture of life.
7. End socialism, create an opportunity and ownership society. No one dependent on handouts, everyone a possessor of property.
8. End tenure, quotas, and union rules in hiring. Merit only, everywhere and always.
9. End junk science, sophistry, and identity posing in society, education, and academe. Truth, real knowledge, and virtue the only passports to leadership.
10. Use the resulting free meritocratic society to achieve permanent prosperity for all.
Want liberals to leave America -
I want them to stop being liberals and support all of the above. If they remain liberals I want them to at least become patriots - and get a job. If they aren't willing to do either, then it would tickle me pink if they left the country, since clearly they have no allegiance to it. Their "country" is their wretched, failed ideology. Let me promote it to fools somewhere else - and not live by sponging off of the rest of us.
If want to stay - don't, so not applicable.
Government pay plane tickets - How socialist. No, we believe in private funding for such purposes. We will all gladly chip in to buy you plane tickets out of the country, on the sole condition that you irrevocably bind yourself, legally speaking, never to come back.
If you want us to leave, will the US government pay for our plane tickets?
Typical liberal. Why don't you go to the library and brush up on your ignorance?
2. Is your goal to make Liberals to leave America? Ideally, my goal would be to live to see the day that you liberals come to grips with reality.
3. If you want us to stay, when does this country go too far to the right?
There are extremes. Extremism, in general, is bad. Take the Democrat Party leadership, for instance. Kennedy, Pelosi, Hillary [inspite of the sleight-of-had she's trying to pull right now-- she's scheming evil]. How about that propagandsitic liar Michael Moore. Hiw own home town can't stand him. I think he makes a good representation of the Party right now-- dishonest, rudderless, and wrong.
4. If you want us to leave, will the US government pay for our plane tickets?
You guys were the ones who started talking about leaving if Bush won. WAH!! First it was your Hollywood know-nothings. If you people have no faith in this country and the way it's worked for centuries, then go-- but pay your own way instead of expecting a handout.
Answers to the questions:
1. Our goals as Republicans are to maintain and strengthen our leadership role in the nation and the world. To keep personal liberties and freedoms more important than the collective.
2.Making Liberals leave America is not a goal, just a pleasantly surprising bi-product of the democratic process. You see where there is democracy, there really can be no liberals. The two are anethema.
3. Two parter. First we could care less if you stay or leave. Second, when we start making you leave at gunpoint...well that might be a bit much.
4. Simple. Yes.
"A liberal - To the Republican community. Should we leave? [too DUmb to ZOT]"
Note amended title.
The Mods have spoken.
Despite what people here think. I'm not a liberal, I'm a progressive. I'm what you'd consider a socialist because I believe that certain things are a birth right, the ability to be educated, healthcare.
However I'm not a supporter of abortion. I actually despise abortion because I'm pro life in the absolute since. Because I'm pro life I also support giving everyone healthcare. Children who are born into poverty deserve the chance to get out of it and deserve health care.
"First, a little less paranoia would be good for you. Republicans don't hate you. Conservatives don't hate you. Conservatives despise what liberalism does to this nation, and this could certainly be described as "anger," but you don't have to love the sin to love the sinner."
Thats good to hear. I don't hate Republicans I just lack an ability to understand Republican philosophy. I grew up poor, in fact I still am, and the liberals are offering to help me out of poverty. Republicans on the other hand are telling me to get out on my own and some want to actually remove certain programs which are designed to help me.
Believe me, I don't want to be given your money. I want the ability to earn that money WITH your help.
What I notice from this cultural experiment is in general liberals and republicans who arent rich agree on values. There are elite liberals and elite republicans in my opinion who arent real. I don't know how else to say it.
The reason Liberals are upset with George Bush is not because of the Republican values, some of your values I agree with. I do think people should work hard I just don't think Bush is making it easier. Outsourcing is not benefiting either of us and in my opinion its not compatible with either philosophy.
The reason I'm concerned about the Republican party is that certain individuals in your party do seem to hate liberals. This may not be the majority of your party but there are people in your party who hate gays, who hate minorities, and who don't seem to care about equality. Is equality a Republican value? If it is then Democrats and Republicans can establish a dialog on this issue to find a solution both sides can accept.
Universal healthcare and education are things I think Republicans might want to think twice about. When Americans are more educated than the rest of the world it makes our country stronger. When Americans are healthiest, plagues like the avian flu, diabetes and heart disease won't slow down our economy. We have to understand that when our workers arent healthy our profits suffer. We also have to understand that if just one worker can't get a flu shot then all of us could get the flu.
I'm not a liberal in that I do believe in a god. I'm not a supporter of gay marriage because I don't believe gays belong in the church, but I don't hate gays and think gays need to belong somewhere even if its not in the church. I do respect minorities (Actually I am one). I don't think the Republican party does much for them. I'm not saying Democrats do anything either, but I'd like to hear Republican ideas on how to establish a fair society.
The economics, I'm not for higher taxes, I don't want to take your money. I just view certain things as an investment instead of robbery. I view funding education as an investment which many Republican business owners could benefit from. I view the healthcare situation as a national security concern.
What on earth were you thinking when you posted this trash at 0500 est?
Ah, there it is, isn't it.....
I assumed that you were capable of thinking.
My bad.
lol....that one is great too!!! My hubby will love it! Thx, again!
Yes. But equal opportunity, not necessarily equal results.
...there are people in your party who hate gays, who hate minorities...
Which ones? I don't know any.
All you need to know is this. Read it and know, this is what we want from our government. You say you are a minority, maybe you should look at Dr. Rice's history, she has made a huge success for herself and didn't need the government's help.

They can exchange their official renouncement of US Citizenship for a ticket out of the country.
Perhaps Zimbabwe?
No way!!!
You can stay, the rest can go. We want you to remain (albeit in a cage or something) to remind us of how screwed up the current crop of liberals are so future generations won't become brain dead and make the same mistake twice.
I suggest the Central African Republic - it's largely run by the French, and even well educated people have trouble placing it...or even remembering it exists.

Ouch!
"1. What are your goals as Republicans?"
Answer: (a) To get you dumb lefties to understand, appreciate, and defend this great country and its value to mankind, rather than tearing it down at every juncture. (b) Educate the left on personal responsibility and the unimportance of government as the answer to life's problems.
