Oh what fun 10 minutes of googling reveals. (http://www.austinchronicle.com/issues/dispatch/2004-06-11/pols_naked7.html) The Second Amendment is "not negotiable," and Badnarik refuses to get a Texas concealed-weapons permit � because "rights do not require permission." The USA PATRIOT Act: It violates the Fourth and Sixth Amendments (against unreasonable searches and closed trials). Affirmative action: "Either we are all created equal or we are not. ... Affirmative action does almost as much harm as slavery." Opposes: federal subsidies for agriculture, mass transit, public education, foreign aid of any kind, and all nonconstitutionally specified programs. "We're going to stop taking their tax money [and] the people will become richer than their wildest dreams." The military: He would bring home all U.S. troops now based in other countries. "The reason our country was attacked [on Sept. 11, 2001] was because we are an empire builder." Campaign finance reform: an unconstitutional restriction on free speech as well as "stealth protection for incumbents." The war on drugs: "The cure is worse than the disease. ... Your liberty allows you to make bad decisions." Same-sex marriage: "The federal government has no business telling anyone what they can do in their bedrooms, and if someone else does not like it that's too damn bad." Third-party candidates: "Not voting your conscience is a wasted vote. If you are in prison and there is a 50 percent chance you would get lethal injection, 45 percent chance you would get the electric chair, and five percent chance you could escape, would you vote for lethal injection because that is the one you are most likely to get?" Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt: "Both dictators and evil. I rail against Roosevelt the most. He did what Hitler did, only Hitler said what he was doing." Community: "Communities don't have rights. Only individuals in the community have rights. ... That idea of community rights is firmly rooted in the 'Communist Manifesto.'" "If you expect the government to get better by itself, you are probably smoking something not currently legal." (The entire interview profile can viewed at Greaney's Web site, http://home.att.net/~devingreaney.) Well, at least he's ok with same-gender marriage. ..but FDR is Hitler? (http://www.binarybits.org/bitbucket/2004/06/in_which_i_shak.html) Here's his plan for his first day in office: a) Declare that all four national emergencies are immediately terminated, as well as the presumption of Emergency War Powers. Senate Report 93-549 has found that the "national emergencies" announced by FDR in 1933 because of the Great Depression, by Truman because of the Korean War, and two initiated by Nixon because of the Vietnam War, are still in effect today. (Skeptical readers can search the internet for this report and read it for themselves.) b) Declare that all 20,000+ gun control laws in the United States are unconstitutional and unenforceable. I would also issue a valid executive order to the BATF and other pseudo police agencies informing them that any agent who confiscates a weapon of any kind, from someone who is not currently engaged in a murder or robbery, will not only be terminated from their position, but they will also be prosecuted for violating the unalienable rights of the citizens they have sworn to protect. c) Issue another valid executive order to my subordinates executives working for the IRS. That order would instruct them to come to work, make a pot of coffee, and begin working on their resumes' pending a federal grand jury investigation as to the legitimacy of the Sixteenth Amendment and the Internal Revenue Code. High ranking officials from that department would be closely monitored as flight risks, pending indictments for fraud in the event that evidence proves that they knew that no statute exists that requires Americans to fill out a 1040 form and relinquish a significant percentage of their hard earned money to an unconstitutional government that refuses to operate within a budget. d) Declare the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 to be unconstitutional, and prohibit that organization from printing even one more dollar of fiat currency. I would immediate appoint Bernard Von Nothaus, Monetary Architect for the Liberty Dollar, to be my Secretary of the Treasury, placing the stability of our economy in his capable hands. e) I would announce a special one-week session of Congress where all 535 members would be required to sit through a special version of my Constitution class. Once I was convinced that every member of Congress understood my interpretation of their very limited powers, I would insist that they restate their oath of office while being videotaped. Those videos could then be used as future evidence should they ever vote to violate the rights of Americans again. f) I would take a short break for lunch. This guy is almost as much fun as Alan Keyes. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
