Support for public-school choice (as opposed to vouchers)

That's called voluntary busing and charter schools. Wake county NC is an example of that.

A nonregulatory approach to alternative energy sources

That sounds like a gas tax reduction.

An agenda to encourage telecommuting

Tax breaks to corporations who employ workers at home and/or tax breaks to employers to hire more Sub-S contractors. It also could mean a relaxation of the laws that strictly limit 1099 type contractors.

And a more-cops response to reemerging violent crime trends.

Higher taxes to hire cops like there's no tomorrow. Here in Raleigh NC we have

Raleigh PD

Raleigh PD Gang Unit

Raleigh DEA

State Police

Capital City PD (Federal)

State building facilities security (e.g. Universities)

SBI

CCBI

FBI

DEA

DHS

TSA

Fish and Game (the only state or Federal agency which can search anyone anywhere for any reason w/o any warrant)

And all the other Federal agencies like NCIS, MP's, CIA, DIA.

Our meter maids are from a private company that's paid a bounty per ticket.

All of whom are cross deputized to act as a law enforcement officer anywhere anytime for any reason in any jurisdiction.

If you want to see what a police state looks like come to Raleigh. The suburbanites love this shit. You may object to it but the soccermom safety contingent of morons is totally with this program.

When? After years of reading comments by Salon readers who preach about being revolutionaries and Marxists from the comfort of their laptops.

Point being that Americans only think they are special. They are not. Your perceived freedoms are little more than anomalies. All over world including all those chi-chi western European countries everyone worships, the notion that 'state security' would ever need to get permission to spy on people is ludicrous. In the UK they can detain people, anyone, w/o charge for 6 weeks. And the EU Parliament is considering passing a bill to extend that to 18 MONTHS. In France and Germany the state police don't need warrants in fact the French security services have written into their charter phrases like "Industrial Espionage". In most countries the phone companies share everything with the government. In some cases they ARE the government. Sweden just passed a FISA type law even more open ended than ours. So has Australia.

Again Americans think they're special, they are not. There is no privacy, there are no protections. And sorry to say, yelling about UNinventing something is a complete waste of time.

That much is clear. And now they ARE whining not because they don't like the war but because it's finally starting effect them personally. Every country in the history of earth that failed to put itself on a wartime economy eventually imploded. Having said that, Gramm's opinions are meaningless. Stop stealing from people, Phil - you're the problem.

For schools that are mostly black and/or in poor neighborhoods. School districts decree them to be 'enriched' programs so that white families will send their kids there and automatically balance the racial divide so that courts don't have to.

You DO know this, don't you? It's not about education or economics, it's about race.

Why? It proves to me that any drunken retarded halfwit can get a paying job doing something. I won't have to support my kids forever.

Wow, talk about passing the blame along. I lost two extended family members and an employee. I should be running down the street naked, high on PCP and waving a deer gun over my head.

Me, fistful of one way tickets, haven't shaved in a few days, aviator shades, wearing an IDF t-shirt. And since I generally hate all of them and grunt at them in monosyllables on a good day - well let's just say the rubber gloves came out by the boxload.....

Go ahead profile everyone. I don't care. Screw everybody.

It's noble and good. Ah ok.

It's simply a fact not a moral qualification. We ARE whining, and that is why. People are dumb. They believed that this would all be cost free and wonderful and now it's not. It's not the end of the world but it's a little more painful than perfect. So we, being us scream like 5 year old girls about it. Everyone does. If this were France there would be 50,000 farmers in the streets of Paris dumping their produce in the gutter, like they always do.

People who are voting for him are voting for him. Just like people who will vote for the other guy. Just the shitheads who voted for the current monkey. Twice. It doesn't matter. None of this matters. Your system of governance is corrupt and broken and in the sway of more money than you could ever imagine.

that is all.

Is run by the Iranian government.

Back in the day Bush supporters would support him if cut the head off a baby on life national TV and had sex with the corpse. You Obama supporters are no different. Unless he shows up on the Senate floor with a bag of grenades and blows himself up, you're all still going to vote for him.

where they would enter into a lesbian prison marriage.

Seriously? It will never stop. The TSA is the Fat Fucks Who Are Too Fucking Dumb Drunk And Obese To Be Allowed To Stroke Their Fantasies With Whatever Police Force Doesn't Want Them, Full Employment Act of 2001 and Forever.

If ever there was a reason to strangle someone with piano wire it's those assholes.
