All I have heard for months is that the "rapture" was coming and "God" was going to take all His people up to Heaven for some big party, and leave the rest of us behind.
Let me tell you, when I heard this, I was elated!!
With all of these sanctimonious, ill-educated, gullible fools off the scene, a golden dawn would break, heralding a new age of liberalism. I figured that within a week of these people leaving, we would:
1) Legalize gay marriage and equality.
2) Pass the ERA
3) Balance the budget by passing a proper tax code eliminating all loopholes, credits and givebacks to the rich.
4) Make Medicare the de facto national health care for everyone.
5) Slash pentagon spending by at least 50%
6) Repeal the Patriot Act.
7) Appoint 4 new Justices to the Supreme Court with nary a complaint.
8) Fill the judiciary with intelligent and sensible judges.
9) Recall all our soldiers from Iraq and Afghanistan.
10) Establish a sensible immigration policy.
11) Try various neocons for war crimes (since some were agnostic, atheists or Jews, they weren't going to be leaving).
12) Immediately pass green laws to subsidize green technology with new windfall profits taxes on the oil, gas and coal industry.
13) Begin RICO prosecutions against the Catholic Church (I was told repeatedly that the Catholics weren't invited to this party in Heaven, so I figured we'd have them on the mats once their evangelical "allies" were gone).
14) Factual textbooks for Texas!!!
15) The legalization of marijuana and many other drugs, with rehab centers funded by taxation of these drugs and the savings from closing about half the prisons in the country when we emancipated drug offenders.
16) A stimulus bill like has never been seen in the history of the world.
And that would just be the FIRST week!!!!
And yet, here it is, R-Day +12 and all of THESE PEOPLE ARE STILL HERE!!!!!
Who do we talk to about a class action law suit?
