Neutron bombs and I'd be ok with it. Why leave a mess and destroy innocent buildings?

Don't play with your food?

I think a progressive tax is better. I think the socially provided safety net should include education, medical care and financial support for those unable to work through age or illness, plus some kind of paid keep-you-busy work for the capable unemployed. Putting medical care in the safety net makes it appropriate to require people to take certain precautions, like seat belts.

1) Kill all the lawyers. Severely beat all remaining lobbiests.

2) I support all of those ideas on a state level. If you are using the safety net you should have to see the people paying for it.

3) I said no wangs in the neighbor's cat. Yours is yours.

Oooh! Pick me as your running mate.

I'd also like to ad a ban on "American" corporations that have their offices in the Bahamas and their manufacturing in any place other than the 50 states. No weasely loopholes.

Which is why we have "Scofflaws"

Oh it pretty much means the same thing here (or did when I was growing up) it's just that those values are heinous and unethical (as taught by our corporately funded popular culture propaganda machine.)

Yes, I am very puzzled by this "tea party". It is fascinating to watch people form crowds to yell for what's directly against their own best interests.

The tea party wants to cut X, Y, & Z. But when you ask them how much of Y should we cut, these same tea partiers say that don't want to cut Y. They just want to cut spending. But have no idea what really must be cut.

Simplest and most obvious cut: eliminate the paper dollar bill. That would save $1billion annually. But their political extremist handlers did not discuss that. So they have no idea that paper $1 bills should be or could be eliminated. They only know what their handlers (ie Limbaugh) have told them to believe. Including "we want Obama to fail".

When the tea party had their first 'convention', who were the most popular in polls? Gingrich? Bush? Palin? Cheney? Paul? Nope. Beck and Limbaugh scored the highest popularity numbers. After all, those who tell them how to think will always be most popular.

I can tell you what a liberal is not.

And that is someone who wants to amend the Constitution to take away rights or deny rights to citizens, as is currently high on the list of priorities for many conservatives and something that has only been done once in 200+ years (prohibition).

I think we need to define the terms "neighbor" and "pussy" for starters [/bill clinton]

More on what a liberal is not.

A liberal is not one who believes that the phantom menace of sharia law is a threat to American society.

As potential GOP candidates jockey to distinguish themselves heading into primary season, there seems to be at least one issue on which they widely agree: Sharia law is a continuing threat to the United States.

Invoking Sharia and casting it as a growing danger at odds with American principles has become a rallying cry for conservatives. It’s also quickly becoming an unlikely pet issue among 2012 presidential contenders: Potential candidates have almost unilaterally assailed the Islamic code, making it as much a staple of the campaign stump speech as economic reform, job creation and rising gas prices.

Religious fear mongering is much more a conservative ideal.
