1. Raise taxes. (yes) Really? I believe I have said I would redistribute. For example, social security- if you don't need it forget it- you get back your initial contribution and nada mas.
2. Cut Defense. I think I actually said I would increase our military, in terms of personnel, but many of our defense programs are boondoggles- even the pentagon has wanted to get rid of some of 'em- but congress wouldn't let'em
3. Ban cigarette smoking in private businesses without so much as a vote. (yes)Wrong again- poor Michael- why am I not surprised. We had an initiative that PASSED in CA- a majority of the idiots in this state supported it- presumably the same idiots who voted for Reagan- but I happen to agree with the ban on smoking.
4. Environmental zealot who fears global warming (yes) Fears? YEs- I am afraid it might be happening- and like any intelligent person I ma afraid of the possibilities. I hope it doesn't happen. I WISH I could be a moronic ostrich zealot and not worry about the environment- but I was born intelligent. It is a curse I have learned to bear.
5. Increase the power of Child welfare agencies to take children away from parents
without due process of law (yes)hmmmm- I have said where there is PHYSICAL evidence then Hell yes, get those kids out. I had my head smashed against a wall. I wish someone had called CPS on my mother. But then I sympathize with the abused not the abusers. If mistakes are made I would like it to favor the safety victims
6. Public education only (yes) Where did you come up with this? I actually support vouchers. You are very creative- a liar, but a creative one.
7. Voted for Clinton (yes) HAHAHAHAHAHA NEVER voted for him. Boy are you an IDIOT. Where did you come up with this one? Geez- I have said over and over again how much I hate the man, and have ALWAYS hated him, but you really really are blind. You really DO read what you want to. If I ever respected you in the first place I would have lost it here- luckily there was nothing to lose. But you have confirmed my impression that you really are out of it. Seriously delusional- no wonder you liked Reagan.
8. School sex education programs (yes)absolutely. Parents always have the choice to opt out- there is a FORM in every school people need to sign. So what is the prob? I don't see it. Knowledge has no ideology to me.
9. Condom distribution (yes)
10. Reagan sucks (yes)
11. Bush sucks (yes)Gosh really? Again- have said over and over how much I liked Bush as a man. I thought HE was intelligent- and I like a man who cares about his family (except for you). i guess you just read allllll those posts of mine wrong. I think you need some remedial reading classes.
12. Increase spending for education (yes)absolutely- saves money in the long run
13. Clarence Thomas guilty (yes)Really? How interesting. Because I disliked Anita Hill, and thought Clarence Thomas was getting shafted. I watched almost all of the hearings (more than you did I am sure) and I was pulling for Thomas. So you would be WRONG AGAIN- but by now no one will be surprised. And of course you will be unable to read this since it will not agree with your internal construct
14. More regulation (yes)
15. More spending (yes)
16. Government run social security system only (yes)I've never discussed this- but I am sure tired of people sucking off the government tit when they don't need it. And I don't like social security. But what I have to say about it is too complex for you to understand- obviously- since you have gotten this and so MANY of my other positions wrong
17. Government run health care (yes) NO- idiot
18. Elitist who thinks most Americans are idiots (yes)you've been such a help on this one, I've just got to prove it one idiot at a time. Thanks for stepping up to the plate.
19. Bill Gates is the embodiment of all that is evil (yes)No, although i don't like the antitrust implications of some MSFT policies- but again, my position is too complicated for your feeble brain. My position is nuanced and is not black and white
20. Flat tax or consumption tax (no)My goodness- wrong again!!! WOW!!
21. Voucher programs (no) already addressed
22. School celibacy programs (no)hahahaha- wrong again- as long as they aren't religious- and they certainly don't need to be.
23. School silent prayer (no)You bet- kids can pray silently anytime they want- whose to know
24. Ten commandments posted (no)ditto- unless you want to post the tenets of EVERY major and minor world religion- in which case FINE- but BOY will that be a headache. Because the 10 commandments are no mroe or less valid than analogous laws from other religions. Unless you've read a different US constitution than I have
25. Free trade (no) No one else has free trade- why should we be the only folks giving away the store? And I don't think this idea is liberal or conservative.
26. Enjoye's Rush Limbaugh (not only NO but...) :-)
