Let's play a game! Let's find the extremist radical that wants to attack, destroy and eliminate American institutions and abandon the hope and desires of our founding fathers.
Lezzee, our revolutionary wants to get rid of social security. He says it is a Ponzi scheme that takes a reliable voting group and enslaves them.
Actually ss is a program that unites--not enslaves the elderly and gives them a sense of security they can rely on. Of course, it is only those poor enslaved millions of elderly that say this--not our elitist radical.
Social Security came about becaused the country wanted to move to the Townsend plan. Congress felt we could not afford that, so the compromise of SS took its place. In truth it is not adequate and if we could cut the military industrial complex, we could afford better.
Public schooling, Gee here our extremist wants to dismantle a program that Tom Jefferson said was the most important obligation of our society. So much for those stupid founding fathers. I guess the knowing nature of Republican's is reflected by Tom and summed up as a quote from J. Danforth Quayle: "We're going to have the best educated American people in the world."
Environmental protection....Our radical tells us we don't need it. After all we can trust to the integrity of those in charge of American business not to pollute, not to grind diseased cows into sausage, not to steal, not to take away pensions, not to adulturate food, etc. Sure we can, Ken Lay told us so.
Other social programs--we don't need them is the message from our resident Radical. The government is too big and these programs just make it bigger. So let's do away with them--right? Well not exactly. You see other than the military, the entire federal bureaucracy is run by 1.6 million civilians in the executive departments, 1 million in independent agencies including the Postal Service, 31,000 in judicial branch and another 30,000 civilians working for the legislative branch. That is the entire bureaucracy our radical complains about. What would he eliminate--the Postal Service? Again that was started by Ben Franklin, but what the hell he wasn't a Republican, so what did he know?
I have included in the 1.6 million some 900,000 that work for the Defense dept and Veterans Affairs. Our radical probably doesn't want to eliminate those.
Just who is the extremist here? He who wants to destroy basic, hard won american programs that benefit millions--or the ones that want to protect and improve those programs?
Find the Republican Radical--its worth at least 10 points.....
