I have what I think would be a GREAT idea!!!!

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

Take everyone in this country who feels our laws should be Bible-based, who seems to generally hate the Constitution, who has a problem with the Bill of Rights, etc. All the fundamentalist Christians, basically. Include bush and all his ilk in this group.

Then let's tell them they can have things EXACTLY the way they want it. They just need to be shipped over to Iraq---maybe portion off a good chunk just for them and let them start a Christian **theocracy**. See just how well that goes over.

They cannot take any of the US's current weapon cache.

Then we let people who are ACTUALLY liberal (http://www.politicalcompass.org check out where the candidates are, it might surprise you, it might not) start running the country.

Buh-bye, corporate welfare. Buh-bye, $400 billion to the Pentagon every year. (I'm not saying it would get NO money, but it wouldn't get $00 billion!) Buh-bye, development of new nukes, etc. Buh-bye to unfunded schools. No more lip service for equal rights. No more pork barrel budgets. No more awash in red ink, no more tax cuts for wealthy. No more raping the environment. Start full-force with research on alternate fuels. Gradual ramping up to 100% wind energy for homes (mine is already powered that way through Green Mountain Energy). Etc.

Wouldn't that be great? They get what they want, all non-wacko, common sense, truly compassionate Americans get our country back.

1. I Think That's Their Idea

Only they want liberals to be the ones that move to Iraq. Real estate is everything.

6. yeah but

THEY are the ones who don't want to seem to want this country the way it was meant to be run.

WE are the ones who want a free democracy (ok ok a representative republic, whatever).

So shouldn't THEY be the ones to leave?

8. No way!

There's too much oil over there to entrust it to gat-durn libruls.

2. For quite a while...

Then let's tell them they can have things EXACTLY the way they want it. They just need to be shipped over to Iraq---maybe portion off a good chunk just for them and let them start a Christian **theocracy**. See just how well that goes over.

... I've been thinking that we ought to give them Texas. ;-)

3. I guess that'll give me the excuse I need to move to Portland, Oregon

but Oregon needs to get its job situation under control.

HEY! With the fundie neocons not in control, things would probably get better!

But hell no, they cannot have the state my family has been in since 1781. I'll fight them for it personally.

4. didn't we have a Christian theocracy in

Salem, MS in the 17th century? That worked real well, didn't it?

5. nope...

It is the RESPONSIBILITY of those who believe in the USA to continue to struggle. It is your highest duty as a citizen.

Shipping em off.. more sounds like a KKK argument regarding minorities. It is the cowardly way out.. if it were even possible.. which its not.

7. Uh

you know that whole post was completely tongue in cheek right?

9. In Name Only

....many of them are Christian in name only. They talk the talk but don't...(you know the rest).
