If YOU Were Running For President...

[MChat]

If you were runnign for President what would your platform be?

(Idea imported from another forum).

Here's mine:

1. It's freedom OF religion not freedom FROM religion. Our country was founded on Judeo-Christian principles. Leave the 10 Commandments in the courtrooms, get the Gov't out of Church's business.

2. If an individual soldier can (physically, not by regulation) carry a weapon and fire it by himself, then it should be legal to own by any law abiding citizen. Require basic firearms safety and target practice a High School graduation requirement.

3. People have the right to protect their property, if a man (armed or unarmed) is robbing your house, you have the right to shoot them dead, even if they're running away from you after being caught.

4. The GOVERNment's job is to GOVERN not provide. You want a handout, go join a Church or beg from some other charitable organization. This goes for welfare, healthcare, social security, and any other socialist program.

5. Executives of companies (public or private) that go "bankrupt" will have 100% of their assets siezed and no more "golden parachutes." They can have anything left over after the dust settles.

6. Human life begins at conception. Abortion is murder, period.

7. Out of the U.N. -- why be a member of an organization which hates us? Pull out of NAFTA and cancel the NAU garbage. And no more foriegn aid to countries that dislike us.

8. Allow offshore and AWNR (the small "flat land" area) to be drilled for oil. Offer tax incentives for companies to develop alternative energy sources.

9. Round up all of the illegal aliens. Deport all illegals with a criminal record. Round up all the homeless unwilling to work for a living. Swap identities between the unwilling homeless and the willing illegals (Juan Valdez you are now John Smith; John Smith you are now Juan Valdez). Ship the homeless "illegal alien" to Mexico.

10. Pull all troops home. (Requires success @ #8 first) Inform Islamic Terrorist that any future attack against the U.S. will result in Tehran, Damascus and any other capital of terrorist supporting states being leveled with several nuclear devices. Also inform them that any state which attacks Israel will be wiped from the face of the earth. When the Palestinians don't listen and attack anyway, wipe them out completly, as an example.

11. Gear up for an economic war with China. Increase the manufacturing and exporting of quality goods. Raise tarrifs on all imports.

12. Require service (Military, Police, Fire, Medical, Picking up Trash on the Hiways, some form of service the choice is up to the individual) for 2 years after High School/Before College.
