Just Doing God's Will

which side?

Westboro churchers protesting sexuality or the Oklahoma Bible belters slashing their tires before refusing help in repairing them?

[baseline bum]

Hahahaha.... nice.

[Wild Cobra]

I'm not normally one who advocates such activity like the slashing of tires, but I'll let that go and would like to buy a beer for the shop owners who wouldn't fix the tires...

But...

It's very hard to find good beer in Oklahoma.

Only when someone is as evil as that Antichrist group.

luckily for us, you are not a court judge.

True.

If I were some sole power of this nation, I would make some radical changes, that would bring us to a more equal status.

I would eliminate taxes for those who produce jobs.

I would tax consumption, not production. All but eliminate the IRS.

I would provide for those who need help, But demand they take any available job.

I would make it treason for an employer to hire illegal immigrants. If they cannot find workers willing to work at the wages offered, they need to raise their wages.

I would ban unions as they have become today. They were once needed, but they have too much influence and need to return to their original purpose. There would be no government employee unions.

I would make it incentive for all citizens to join a military branch for at least 6 months of military training, and when they leave, they keep their assigned weapon.

I would do all I could to make this nation work by libertarian ideals, rather than liberal/socialist/communist/fascist ideals.

I would place tariffs on traded items if needed. If a tariff war pursues, fine. We have our own resources and can produce everything we need.

So many other things I would do. That's just a quick list.

And you argued with El Nono when he termed you authoritarian?

Mandatory military service leapt out at me too, but let's not forget WC may construe it as an "egalitarian" plank. All serve equally, regardless of social status.

Never mind that it's the egalitarianism of a police state before which citizens stand more or less equally bereft of rights.

Indeed, all are born owing service to it. o neo-feudalism.

This is a joke right? Nevermind the fact that you have ridiculous views in the first place how would you make this new nation work by "libertarian" ideals, when you, IE the GOVERNMENT...would have to grow huge in order to implement all these things.

I'm ok with it personally. If they get caught, should they be convicted? Sure (unless the jury happens to know about jury nullification ).

[baseline bum]

My favorite part is not taxing corporations. Give them all the rights of a person but none of the responsibilities.

I don't doubt it, Fidel.

[Blake]

I'm ok with it personally.

Maybe just me..... I'm not ok with someone else destroying the property of law abiding citizens exercising their rights.

Fail. Of epic proportions, some might say.

At what point does the business begin to show discrimination against the Westboro Church? It's a fine line, not sure I'd celebrate it with a beer summit. But hey, you'd buy him a beer anyway? Maybe that shop owner should run for President!

PS: WTF @ "radical changes that would bring us to more equal status." Please explain, WC, because that sounds mighty collectivist. Change? Why undo 20 years of awesomeness?

[ChuckD]

WalMart for fixing their tires. Looks like I won't be doing any Christmas shopping there this year.

[RandomGuy]

More than two dozen law-enforcement officers - state troopers, sheriff's deputies and city police - formed a security cordon around the Westboro protesters.

"We're here to protect everyone," [state trooper spokesman] Miller said

Dang. Those jackaninnies are going to get themselves hurt.

[Wild Cobra]

And you argued with El Nono when he termed you authoritarian?

But I want to remove the authoritarian programs. There's the difference.

Oh you benevolent dictator you.
