"Ray" asked me about my politics a while back, and I'm finally getting around to answering.
I consider myself a "practical libertarian", as opposed to the libertarians who want complete isolationism, completely sealed borders, or outright anarchy. You could say I'm a "sane libertarian." Hell, I even think some taxes are okay.
The war on terror has caused me to ally with Bush and the Republicans. Liberals have done a bang-up job getting their ilk to believe the war is "Bush's war" or a "so-called war." That's 100%, unadulterated hippie hogwash. 9/11 proved to me we have a genuine enemy who deserves to get an ass-whoopin. It's do it here or do it there, and I'll take "there" every time.
Western Europe has suffered 35 major terrorist attacks since 9/11, and the USA has had ZERO. That is not a coincidence. Liberal (socialist) tolerance prevelant in Europe is directly responsible for the 35-0 scorecard. Not all cultures, and not all ideologies, are equal, despite what liberal-socialists long to believe. Islamic fundamentalism is every bit as deadly and diseased as the Nazis, and should be treated identically.
If Muslims were to take to the streets here and preach "death to America" and "death to the UK," as they frequently do all over Europe, I'd like the FBI to round them up and send them to Guantanamo Bay. That's one of many differences between Europe (liberals-socialists) and America that I cherish. Our handling of these killers is something I approve of and am unashamedly proud of. It is keeping me alive.
I stand behind the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and am ashamed of the UN for voting against the Iraq war. It's akin to failures in Guatemala, Cambodia, Rwanda, and many, many other places. Saddam's time in power amassed nearly three mass graves per year. We have a clever little term for that: genocide. The UN disgusts me and I want the U.S. to withdraw. We have more authority than the UN, which causes me to laugh out loud when socialists say Iraq is an "illegal war". LOL. Put simply, the U.S. is too good for that garbage institution.
Bush is not the white knight many on the Right thought he was. He has failed on immigration and spending. Big time. If he doesn't fix both problems by the next presidential election, I'll probably give up on Republicans and go back to voting Libertarian. Bush's domestic items I approve of include holding schools and teachers accountable (what idiots liberals are to think a kid should be promoted without learning, and that schools who fail to teach kids should continue to get equal funding with schools that are doing their jobs), tax cuts, fixing social security (which liberals believed was a problem when it suited them).
No liberals for me. Sixty percent taxes (and $10/gallon of gas, like in the UK) in exchange for free health care for people who choose not to educate themselves and find a good job that comes with health care -- can fuck off. The poorer an American is, the easier it is to get Pell Grants to go to college FREE OF CHARGE. Our present welfare system should be slashed by 80% immediately. Other bloated liberal ideas (which cost me money needlessly) must go, as well.
I'd vote for Mike Tyson for president before Hillary Clinton or any other liberal. If people want to live in a socialist nation, they should move to Canada or Europe. Quit bitching and get the fuck out of my country.
