I still think I would be the best choice for President. I was comparing myself to the other candidates out there to see how I stack up. Some of the things that come to mind are:
- Unlike at least one of the Demopublicans, I haven't seen a UFO- but I'd like to. The reptilian alien overlords endorse anyone BUT me.
- I was never married to a President, so I don't have any connections with the DC underworld (Hades?).
- I don't feel any need to prove my manhood by invading any foreign countries, posing on aircraft carriers, or declaring martial law.
- I am not threatened by people using real money as a medium of trade, so I would encourage prosecution of thieves who steal the gold, silver, and copper of honest companies and their customers.
- I have never been a TV star. Although....... If Firefly comes back I want a recurring role. And NOT as a disgusting fed!
- Apparently I am in the rather lonely position of actually understanding the intent of the Bill of Rights. Along with Ron Paul, that is.
- I have no experience, so I am not easily convinced with "But that is how it has always been done".
- I don't converse with the dead (or expect an answer).
- I would be a cheap President since I would not accept the government paycheck, nor the government housing. Plus, I have friends who would serve as my "secret service", so the ones on the government dole could go find an honest job.
- Are foreign terrorists foolhardy enough to throw away their lives among a fully armed population? I doubt it. What about the domestic terroists who live and "work" in their cells in America? They are frantic to disarm us, so they must be afraid, too.
- Last but not least: wouldn't you really like to see what would happen if there was a President who really believed in individual liberty? Aren't you curious how it would play out?
Kent,
ReplyDeleteI, like many people, have played the "what if, I became President" scenario in my head. I fully agree with cutting the Secret Service free to find gainful employment. However, I would probably just fully reinstate the Marine Presidential Protection detail.
As for the intent in the Bill of Rights, might as well add me to that list. Oh, BTW yes, I would consider making the armed services fee based. After all, the Marines were created to battle the Barbary Coast Pirates.
