I would probably surprise you with many of my personal political beliefs.

From 2009's As President of the United States, I Would...

  • Abolish Welfare. Completely. Take the welfare budget, give half to public education, and half towards a special grant program. That program would teach former welfare recipients functional job skills, primarily in fields benefiting social services, as well as military weapons manufacturing and research/development in the fields of alternative energy. During their time in this program, they are given homes to live in, and paid for by the government. The cost of the housing and living expenses (i.e. food) are paid back over a twenty-year spread through mandatory deductions from their future paychecks. This program is not mandatory, however. Former recipients can choose, if eligible, to do the equivalent time in a branch of the US military. Each person gets a three-shot chance at the educational program. If they fail all three chances (i.e. as with any learning institution, bad grades, school conduct, attendance, drug tests, etc.) they are simply on their own. The government will provide no further assistance to them.


  • Invade Mexico. Give them an initial offer to officially become the 51st state of America. If they refuse, go in and take over. Declare it a state, eradicate the drug cartels, and embrace our new American brothers and sisters. End of border patrol problem. P.S. Stop trembling Canada, we're not interested. We've already got Shatner.


  • End Cuban Embargo. The Cold War is over, we won. Let's just end this whole pissing match and jump-kick some economies. Let's instead shift the embargo onto France and isolate them for about thirty years. Rape has no excuse.


  • Create the White House Channel. A government-run news channel for standard cable, bypassing CNN, FOX, MSNBC, or any other jerkwad newsertainment channel as the primary source for actual political information. From the horses' mouth, instead of the horses' ass. Booya.


  • Legalize Marijuana. (Shocker!) Seriously though. Legalize it, with strict standards and regulations, and tax the absolute H-E-L-L out of it. Like tobacco. Sold only in specialty shops, like liquor. For ages 21 and older. Take the budget from the "War of Drugs", and combine with the tax income, and divide it between government healthare, and NASA.


  • Set Term Limits for Congress. No more than two terms of four years each. No more Strom Thurmond's or Ted Kennedy's. Eight years is the maximum amount of time you can sit in office. This should not only satisfy keeping fresh blood and fresh ideas flowing in government, but still maintain a longevity factor that provides the wisdom needed to run the country.


  • English is the national language. You can speak your own "native" language if you like. However, that doesn't mean I have to give a shit. Learn English or go home. To meet halfway, I would increase emphasis on learning a second language in all public school systems.



I no longer want the White House channel. Just saying.
