YOU'VE BEEN GRANTED PUBLIC POLICY POWERS: list your priorities to rid the nation of Clintonism
REFERENCE ALAMO GIRL'S DOWNSIDE LEGACY ^ | 8/28/02 | FR ACTION PROJECT

Posted on 08/28/2002 2:37:23 PM PDT by Liz

It's time to clean out the Clintons' Augean stables.

We have only just begun to see the fallout from eight years under the Clintons' reign.......Wall Street crooks and book-cooking, attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, attempts by the Clintonistas retreads to gain powder in numerous state elections, the corruption of democracy by the Clintons' selling of the White House and pardons for campaign cash, the corruption in the DNC starting with Terry McAwful's iffy investments, the deletorious effects of Clinton getting lewinskied on the national body politic, and so on and so forth, ad infinitum, ad nauseaum.

The magnitude of the Clintons' crimes is like a virus infecting our entire nation. We'd like to see some changes made in the way the nation conducts its policies.

What if you have been given unlimited power to change public policies, redirect or eliminate federal agencies, hire and fire at the federal level, initiate legislation, hand-pick candidates, and the like.

If you could choose five ways to rid the nation of Clintonism, which would you implement first?

That would be the "Patronage" system.

That wasn't the term being used during the general election. It was another descriptive term.

You forgot to add reinbursement to all of us Boomers who have paid in to social security since we were 16!

No I didn't. The Feds need to sell off assets to meet their obligations. Since they own 30-40% of the nation's land, this shouldn't be a problem.

"If you could choose five ways to rid the nation of Clintonism, which would you implement first??"

1. Put term limits on Senators. (two terms, goodbye Teddy)

2. Put term limits on ALL judges, incl. state and Federal Supreme Court Justices.

3. Severely limit a President's rights to grant pardons during a second term; make the President granting such pardons subject to an additional election (a referendum on his/her performance).

4. Eliminate all non-individual contributions to political candidates and limit individual contributions to about 10 bucks.

5. Encourage Arkansas to secede and become a barrio of Havana.

"Priority number one in my book is to eliminate the Constitution hating, Liberty hating, Freedom hating, American hating, God hating marxist/leftist/socialist/liberal pig from their posts of power and influence in America. Seeing as how the home and breeding grounds for the American hating marxist/leftist/socialist/liberal pig is the criminal enterprise otherwise known as the Democrat Party,"

I'm very sympathetic to your rant and in most ways I agree since I despise the Dim Party, however, a country without the freedom to express opinions with which you and I don't agree is not a free country. So, I gotta disagree, unfortunately.

Pass a law that anyone who did not within the previous twelve months pay any taxes, or who accepted a check from the government for any reason other than payroll, cannot vote (on grounds of conflict of interest).

Enforce the seperation of powers doctrin by removing and preventing all members of the judical branch from holding office in either the legislative branch or the executive branch. I.e., allow no member of the American Bar Association (Lawyers) to hold office in the legislative or executive branchs of our goverment.

Clinton is not the whole disease. He may be the largest and most painful pus-filled boil on the rump of the body politic, but there are many more open sores (like Torricelli of New Jersey, etc.). We need to lance that boil, but we also need to lance all the other boils.

Many of those boils iare n the private sector. Corruption in the priivate sector goes hand in hand with corruption in government. The private sleazebags want speciali benefits. How do they get them? From public sleazebags who are for sale -- or at least for rent by the hour.

1. Deport Bill and Hillary Clinton to any anti-American 3rd world rathole that will take them and threaten Chelea with the same thing if she follows in Mom and Dad's footsteps.

2.Quit the UN and make it leave the US. Sell the property to Donald Trump and use the money to pay off the deficit.

3. Make all our so called allies pay back the loans we made them after WW2.

4. Change the name of the DOD back to the War Department to show the world we mean business.

5. Make sure Dubya is re-elected in 2004 and has a Republican Congress and Senate to back him up.

Can I play too?

1. Execute for treason any elected official who did not vote to either impeach or convict President Bill Clinton.

2. Execute for treason any network news anchor, reporter, or executive that does not or has not supported this country in time of war.

3. Impeach every Federal judge who was appointed by Clinton.

4. Appoint an super judical special master to investigate and interrogate Bill and Hillary for their traitorous and treasonous activities. A public execution would be appropriate.

5. All borders: sealed. All treaties: repealed. All extra-national organizations: expelled. The UN Headquarters lot would make a nice site for a 9/11 Memorial after the UN building itself is demolished.

6. All income tax witholding would be eliminated. Citizens must pay their taxes in person to their congressman's office in cash or on election day at the polls.

7. All muslims, arabs, and their fellow travelers will be searched, manacled, and otherwise discomforted if they wish to travel in this country on our airlines. All arab males under 50 years old are forbidden to fly. Drive a car, Abdul, if you want to get somewhere.

8. Labor Unions are not allowed to give any money collected from their members to political candidates or parties. All trusts and foundations are disolved after 10 years to accomplish their goals and the money distributed to the taxpayers of the location in which they were headquarted.

9. By special act of the newly reconstituted Senate and House, the former future Clinton library in Little Rock will become a museum of Treason complete with the Blue Dress exhibit, the Mark Rich Payoff display, the Hall of Lies, and the IMAX presentation of the trial and execution of the 2 Traitors.

Did I forget anything?

Eliminate tax withholding. If everybody had to write a check to the IRS for their entire tax burden, the nation would turn conservative overnight.

Good one !

I would have ALL gov't employees ,President, Congress,Supreme Court, on down to the beat cop go through the same drug and alcohol screening the most tested private worker is required by current law to comply unless and until such laws are repealed. Making policy requires at least as sober a person as driving a hazmat truck.

Wow. Freepers are smart people. There are a lot of really good suggestions here.

I'm intimidated. I've decided not to offer any suggestions. I am a little embarrased to admit that I was just going to give a list of people whose heads would go up on pikes at the White House lawn. That and nuke the Red Zone from orbit. Its the only way to be sure ;).

I guess I'd nuke France too. No sense in leaving perfectly good nuclear warheads lying around unused when there are people like them out there.

How come none of you guys listed that one? Is it just one of those things that does not have to be said because it is such a no-brainer?

"America is infested and overrun with these socialism loving vermin. Kick them off their government perches and off their judgeships and off the school boards and off any post where they have influence over politics or society"

It was great meeting you at FRIVA Jim - and I do so agree with your above statements.

I think you nailed it. If you can come up with a few more priorities, it'd be appreciated.
