Conservative war paid for liberal lemmings
Return to top.

Conservatives worldwide love war, especially the drug war. War is profitable for the big businesses that wage the wars, incarcerate the POWs, house the troops, and heal the wounds. Liberal politicians, like the lemmings and middle management most of them really are, love wasteful spending. Case in point: Obamacare versus single-payer universal healthcare. Obamacare, though better and more efficient than the previous U.S. healthcare system, is not nearly as effective and efficient as single-payer universal healthcare. Be independent, not conservative or liberal.

Winding down incompetently-led Republican Wars
Return to top.

These multi-trillion dollar wars are the latest "glorious crusades" (that moron Bush actually used the word "crusade" at first to describe the Iraq War). See: The Three Trillion Dollar War - about the Iraq War. See: Cost of U.S. drug war. We don't need drug wars. We need harm reduction. See: Portugal. Cannabis-related links.

Obama is the first Democrat President in awhile who isn't basically middle management for Republicans. But Democrats have to be pushed to support the middle class instead of the privileged. Otherwise, another Ralph Nader will come along to throw a monkey wrench into the whole bloody machine (speech by Mario Savio starts at 22 seconds into the video). Clinton was the last moderate Republican to lead the country. Stockholders got rich while income and wealth inequality continued to increase, and the incarceration rate continued to skyrocket due to the drug war and "truth-in-sentencing" (mandatory minimum sentencing). See: The U.S. Drug War. Republicans lead. Democrats follow. Everybody pays. See: National Rifle Association and mandatory minimum sentencing.

Hard-drug rehab costs money. All Western European countries have some form of universal healthcare. It gets better health statistics and costs less per person. Clueless Libertarians, Republicans, and Teabaggers are against universal healthcare because it is government funded. Even though most of these same Tea Party people would never want their Medicare taken away from them. Their stupid preference for private health insurance costs them far more per person, and so they must be basic-math challenged. So much for American brainpower. Obamacare is a middle ground between single-payer health care and private health insurance. It will not help poor people enough because the coward Democrats are also bought out by the insurance corporations. So tens of thousands of people will continue to die in the USA each year due to lack of money for healthcare.

Yeah, right on, Pat! Those conservative hippies were right after all. And that liberal, big-prison-spender, Nancy Reagan, with her "Just Say No" lock-em-up activism was wrong. And don't forget that liberal, big-prison-spender, Newt Gingrich and his drug war.
