What I Believe

In my previous post I went off on a rant about why I hate Dimocrats. Took me about ten minutes to write. Now I'm gonna talk about what I believe. Do I support all of Bush's policies? Hell no! I voted for him for one reason and one reason only. I thought he would be better at fighting the War On Terror than Flipper.

Here are some of my beliefs:

I believe in the Bill of Rights.

That means McCain-Feingold has to go. A pox on John McCain for helping to write it. A pox on Bush for signing it. The only campaign finance law I want to see is full disclosure. I want to know who's buying our politicans and how much they are paying. For example, how much did China give to Bill Clinton for our rocket guidance technology. Fuck you Dimocrats for giving us this traitor.

No assault weapons ban. As I said in my previous post I don't want an AK-47 to kill Bambi, I want it to protect myself.

People are saying we need to pass laws to protect private property in light of the Supreme Court's decision on eminent domain. Bullshit! We already have a law. It is the Fifth Amendment. The same court that ruled McCain-Feingold constitutional is the same court that ruled against the Fifth Amendment. We need justices who will uphold the Constitution. We need more justices like Scalia and Thomas. And fuck you assholes who use abortion as a litmus test. Howza 'bout the Constitution as a litmus test. Fuck you, Chuck "the Schmuck" Schumar. Al D'Amato was right when he called you a putzhead. How does it feel to have seniority and still be the junior senator from New York?

Stop this insane political correctness at the airport. Grandma and Grandpa are not the ones that are gonna hijack the planes. Ahmed and Mohammed are. I don't give a fuck if it is racial profiling. The most likely hijackers are gonna be Middle Eastern men. Single those fuckers out. If they don't like it, tough shit! If you assholes would police your religion we would not have to.

End all farm subsidies. One of the policies the Republican Revolution in 1994 started was weaning farmers off the public tit. Unfortunately, once Bush was elected, farm subsidies went through the roof. I didn't vote for Republicans to raise domestic spending.

I am against tariffs. History has shown that free trade economies are the most prosperous. Remember Japan was gonna bury us. They embraced protectionism. For the most part, we don't. Whose economy is in the best shape? I was against the steel tariff. I am for NAFTA and CAFTA.

Socialism doesn't work. France and Germany 10% unemployment. Ours is 5%. Our economy is growing at twice their rate of growth. Any questions?

Same with socialized medicine. Why do Canadians come here for medical procedures? Because the farking waiting list for common procedures is too long in Canada.

End the insane War on Drugs. Drug addiction is not a crime. It is a disease. More of our rights are being violated in the insane War on Drugs than in the War on Terror. Remember Prohibition? Great success. Legalize and tax the shit out of them. Use the revenue to finance treatment centers. At the least, legalize marijuana. No way do pot smokers belong in jail.

Adopt the fair tax and abolish the IRS. Any tax system where the average citizen cannot figger out his own taxes is a disgrace. With the IRS, you are guilty until proven innocent. I know. I went through an audit. They change the rules on the fly and if you protest, they tell you to take them to court. Assholes!

Abolish withholding. Make people write a check to the gummint for Social Security, Meidicare and income taxes. The tax system would be fixed in one election cycle.

Private Social Security accounts. I've been giving this a lot of thought. Half of the people in this country are too fucking stupid to manage money. These are the people who vote for Dimocrats. My latest thought is investing the private accounts in TIPS. It will beat inflation. It's guaranteed by the gummint. And it keeps the money out of the hands of unscrupulous Wall Street types.

Term limits. Congresscritters, six years, Senators, two terms.

Non-partison drawing of congressional districts. Ahnold is dead right on this one. Let's make the House of Representatives truly representative.

Arrest Jane Fonda, try her for treason, and hang her.

All the Hollywood dickheads who promised to leave the country, leave already. I have enough readers who will kick in the money for airline tickets.

I want a smaller gummint. Abolish the Department of Education. Abolish the Commerce Department.

Any law that is passed has to state what part of the Constitution allows that law. We have too many laws on the books.

Instead of passing new laws, why not enforce the laws we already have?

Reading through what I have written, you can see that I more closely resemble a Libertarian than I do a Republican or (shudder!) a Dimocrat. Our gummint has become a monster with professional politicians. The Founders envisioned a citizen gummint not a gummint ruling class which is what we have now.

I would like to see public spirited citizens who give no more than a few years of their lives to gummint and then return to private life. We do not need any more Ted Kennedys and Robert Byrds. Or, on the Republican side, Strom Thurmonds. Strom was in the Senate much too long. Teddy should have spent a few years in jail.

So all of you dipshits who think I'm a diehard Republican, think again. Bush and the Republicans piss me off a lot. They just don't piss me off as much as Dimocrats. Republicans don't want to lose the War on Terror. Dimocrats do.

Denny, when I run for public office, I most definitely want you in my corner. :-) I already have one war-buddy that's taking on the Gov't over GWV issues, and he is 'schooling' me on 'how things operate' on Capital Hill. Your latest post is some good insight to consider, but, how am I going to look these hacks in the face and keep MINE straight knowing what I know? LMAO!!!!

But how do you REALLY feel? I love this well thought out statement of your beliefs! I am curious about what your thoughts are concerning the added office of "homeland security" as well as your opinions of the laws that have come from our war on terrorism which some see as opportunities for a bigger more aggressive "big brothers"?

I like it, when are you going to run for office?

Posted by: Jack on July 29, 2005 12:30 AM

You've got my vote.

Hell yeah, I'm fired up now! Way to go, Denny!!!! Bunch of fucking fucktard politicians!!!!!!

Term limits. Congresscritters, six years, Senators, two terms.

While in principle this is good, it takes choice away from the people.

You've certainly hit the nail on the head from my perspective as well!

GMTA. I knew there was a good reason why I kept reading this blog.

Thanks.

I actually want an AK-47 for a few reasons:
1. It's my Second Amendment right.
2. They are fun to shoot.
3. Feinstein's/Boxer's bunghole would pucker some more.
4. It's my Second Amendment right.

On the tax issue, this would have even greater effect if election day was the same as (or shortly after) tax return filing due date. So lets move our elections to April, and cut out all the primary bullshit anyway.

My gosh, I think you are my male fraternal twin - were you adopted? It's almost frightening how much we think alike.

Posted by: Anastasia on July 29, 2005 02:35 PM

A-fucking-men.


One of the excuses the big government types and the supporters of citizen choice to continually re-elect these assholes is that the government and the issues are too complex and you need years of experience before you are effectively able to deal with legislative matters, etc.

Horseshit. It's complex because they make it that way. It will only change when citizens become smart about what's going on. The NEA and the government run school system will ensure that won't happen.

Posted by: Jesse on July 29, 2005 06:48 PM

Denny - Run for office. Make the Dimocrats campaign against a cripple. It'll drive 'em nuts.

Charlie Delta - not an AK-47, go for an American semi-automatic 'assault' rifle.

Hey, Denny....

One minor quibble...FairTax ELIMINATES witholding.

As for Jihad Jane - don't hang her, she'd smell bad. Wrap her in fresh pigskin, bury her up to her miserable neck, then invite passersby to kick her face until she croaks. Then bury her in or near Mecca.

You think you're "grouchy"?

Grrrr....

Posted by: Ward Gerlach on July 29, 2005 10:22 PM

Glenmore -

Got any suggestions for particular firearms to look at that fit that category? The patriot in me refuses to get an AK but I havent found an affordable alternative.

I've always loved the old HK 91 & 93, and wish I'd bought one 20 years ago.

Posted by: daniel on July 29, 2005 10:28 PM

Assault weapons ban? What the fuck is the difference between a .30-06 rifle and an MR-15 or AK-47 assault rifle? The MR-15/AK-47 looks mean to liberals. Scares the hell out of the pussies. Otherwise, there's basically no difference.

Posted by: Rob Cooper on July 29, 2005 11:04 PM

Excellent, again you wrote what I think. Along with term limits, I would have sunset limits on all legislation, past and future. Let em be tied up reviewing old laws so they don't have time to pass many new laws.

Also need serious immigration control. Heavy fines on employers. Bye bye mosques and imams. No violent cults in America. The ATF tried to bully the Davidians, who never threatened me but we tolerate Wahabbi shit.

Drugs, damn I don't know. If they are legalized how much of this country will be dysfunctional on a daily basis, and how will we know??

With crutches it is difficult to carry any long gun. Maybe an M16 with handloads. I have a Class III CAR15. Driving a manual wheelchair I can carry almost anything, had an M60 for a few years. For group therapy tho, an old M1A1Thompson with a 1911 back up is no slouch. Ya gives up some range, but a good cyclic rate and 1 hit knockdown power will make ya newsworthy.

Posted by: TomR on July 30, 2005 12:52 AM

Along with sunset legislation, Congress ought to be forced to take two old laws off the books for every new one they write. Eventually we'd get to the bottom of this swamp.

Thank you,

Spoken like a true Heinlein fan. Have you read his first novel? Written 1938 published 2005. His wife found it in his archives just before she passed away.
