If I Were Dictator

If I were dictator, this is what I’d do. Yes, you read that correctly, dictator, not president. Presidents can’t do shit without getting jerked off by congress. I figure I’d get things done that most Americans could agree with. And if you don’t, well, that’s fine too. I wouldn’t have you killed or anything. I’d only want the job for a short time. After which, the people could elect a new puppet, err, I mean president and things could go back to normal.

Let’s see, the first thing I’d do is make gay marriage legal in all fifty states, because, quite frankly, I am tired of this fucking bullshit. No one has a right to vote on the rights of anyone, especially a minority. If two faggots or two dykes want to get married and set up house, what’s it to you? Let them do it. They have just as right to do it as anyone else.

I’d end the war on drugs. It’s a pointless war. It’s a waste of a hell of a lot of money. Think of all the money we’d save without this monstrosity. In my view, if people want to smoke pot, get high and have a good time, then they should fucking be able to do so, it’s their right as an American citizen living in a FREE society. Okay? And the same goes for all other drugs, people need to take responsibility for their own actions. We don’t need government wiping our ass, watching over us like we’re infants. The people are supposed to be the boss, not government.

Birth-right citizen ship would go bye-bye. And I think that the forefathers would agree. If at least one of your parents isn’t a citizen when you’re born, then you’re not either. This would get rid of the illegals and they’d have no more excuses for sticking around in this country.

The federal budget would be balanced every year and it would be a law. No matter what, the budget would have to be balanced, no excuses. Spend wisely!

Troops from overseas would come home. There’s no need for us to be stationed all over the fucking world. We are NOT the world police.

The pointless wars in the Middle East would end, or at least our part in them. It’s a futile war. The religious whack-jobs are going to win in the end anyway. It would be my guess that they will be the reason the world ends. Think of all the money we would save if we brought our troops home?

ALL politicians would take a fifty percent pay cut. Yes, you read that right. They make too much money as it is, while the average Americans are suffering. It’s not right. They would have term limits as well. Two terms maximum, just like the president. No more career politicians. This would help end some corruption. People would want to serve this country for the good of all, and not just for the good of themselves. And that’s the way it should be. They’d also have to pay as much taxes as everybody else, and they would not have the ability to vote on anything for their own benefit, be it raises or vacations or any other thing. If they want a raise, then they need to ask their employers, the American people for it. Then again, they wouldn’t be in office that long, so if they think they’re worth a raise then they can get the fuck out of office and let someone else take their place.

Governors would no longer appoint senators to replace one who has left office. After the Blagojevich bullshit, this is the last thing we need. A special election would be held, the way it should be, and the American citizens select their next representative.

I’m sure there are more things I want to do, but I’ve forgotten them. I may update this post with new ideas as they come scrambling back to memory, if they do.

If I were dictator, what would YOU want me to do? Something that would benefit the country and does not include me killing myself. So here’s your chance to get this country back on track, what would YOU want me to do? I’d listen and take your ideas into consideration. If I like them, I’d make them happen. If I don’t, well, you don’t have to worry, I won’t kill you.

Goodbye, 2009

Goodbye, 2009. It was nice knowing ya.

2009 wasn’t a bad year, really. Not for me, anyway. It was much better than I anticipated. I even managed to fulfill a few of my resolutions. I’m hoping 2010 is even better. I approach the year with optimism even though I am not the most optimistic person in the world. Anyone who knows me well will verify this. Some of my readers may be aware of this already.

How was your 2009?

2009 was a pretty good year for politics, not as good as 2008, but good nonetheless. 2010 promises to be a better year for politics, and hopefully a better one for blogging as well. 2009 was also my first full year of blogging. I began blogging here in late July 2008. Prior to that I had a short lived blog at AOL Journals where I published maybe ten posts in all of two years. This blog, has been much more successful. Especially with the help of Entrecard. Though, I’m still not satisfied with the amount of page views/blog visits thus far and I suppose it will be something I have to work on in 2010. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.

I’ve compiled a list of my Top 10 favorite posts of 2009. Please, check them out and comment on them. If you have any favorite posts of mine, let me know in the comments. Here they are:

1) Former President Bush touts son Jeb for top job

2) Letterman takes on Blagojevich

3) Alex Rodriguez and steroid use

4) Daylight Savings Time Begins

5) A second stimulus package...

5) 30% Say Government Should Limit Pay for Athletes and Movie Stars

6) Earth Day

7) Rasmussen Reports April 16

8) Obama kills fly...PETA gets a hardon over it

9) Atheists sue to keep 'In God We Trust' off Capitol Visitor Center

10) Wingnuts?

It turns out I couldn’t stop at just 10 posts. So here’s a bunch more:

11) Health Care

12) Favorites

13) Tiger Woods?

14) Five 9/11 suspects to be charged in NY

15) SC Gov. Mark Sanford admits he's had an affair

16) People Choose News That Fits Their Views

17) NH becomes 6th state to legalize gay marriage

18) Voters Now Trust Republicans More than Democrats on Economic Issues

19) 79% Support U.S. Troops on the Border to Fight Drug Violence

20) Tired of hearing about Rush Limbaugh

21) One-Out-of-Seven Favor 90% Tax Rate for Millionaires

And there may be more. Maybe you can find them for me.

Thanks and Happy New Year!
