Installment #1

Of FR's campaign for the White House. Something I like to call "Spank Rudy!"

And by the way? This is cut from the old mailing list... So the profanity is basicly intact. Just a little note at the top for the sensitive among us.

New Deal 2008

In light of the complete lack of identity in the 21st Century incarnation of the Democratic Party, my answer to the lack of opposition to the current incarnation of “Conservative” Republican trends is Ryan’s New Deal. Calling any democrat an advocate of BIG GOVERNMENT, especially by a Reagan Apostle as yourself, is like Whoopie Goldberg calling the Rutgers basketball team nappie headed hoes. As we've documented numerous times, Reagan did nothing to reduce government. The size of the government isn't determined by tax income, it's determined by spending. The more the beast is fed, the larger it gets. Cut spending and you get small government. We have to go to Hoover before we see a Republican that chokes the beast into something nearly unrecognizable in the last half of the 20th century.

Now, lets spend some money.

And this is a minor side-note. The f**king of big business is just an added benefit. No one wants to break it off inside Exxon and the rest of those gougers more than me, but that does not necessarily represent a party or an ideological platform. That part is pure entertainment.

1) The cessation of the importation of all petroleum in four years.

In large agrarian states, (Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Alabama, you get it) federal refineries are constructed for the production of ethanol. I do not know how long this takes, (to build the building, you get it...) but if they can throw Hoover Dam up in three years I'm thinking we can build the twenty or so refineries needed. Being federal, we have an advantage with OSHA and EPA and all that. This shit gets done no red tape. Fast. As many people working balls to the wall as possible. We're spending money, we're spending it well.

All farm subsidies stop. I'm not paying any money for good land to stay fallow. I want as much farmland we have as possible (without starving the nation, I'm not Stalin, for crying out loud) used. I want some Joe Blow 19 year old with no college education able to buy the forty acres next to his dad's 40 and farm just like their family has done forever. If that's corn, wheat, saw grass, sugar cane, sugar beats, whatever. Don't care. Because we (the feds) are buying. What determines the price? I don't know, not an economics major. The market value for the product would be more than made up if the ethanol sells for HALF of what gas goes for now. So at 1.50 a gallon the feds can pay the farmers what they deserve. And that will only get better as demand increases. I can tell you, lots of things need fuel and in four years we're going to be self-sufficient. All those planes need gas. Trucks need bio-diesel. The demand for product to be refined into ethanol should allow anyone who has an interest and a desire to farm to be able to make that kind of a living. All of a sudden Kansas is a nice place to live again.

NOTE: Any wiener can pop a couple of holes in this, but what's GOOD about it? It appeals to Heartland mentality. It appeals to farming, country, patriotism, Midwestern values, the heart of American conservatism. And let's face it. If you acknowledge Titus’ position that Hoover and not Reagan is the 20th century's torchbearer for conservatism, then Iowa really is heaven. In one bold stroke we've done three things.

A) Created agrarian jobs. Name the last President to do that? (Jefferson. Go west.)

B) Created guaranteed jobs that'll last a century. John farms the corn. Mike hauls the corn. Suzie works to refine the corn. And Peter pumps the gas.

C) Cut the legs out of not only the Arabs, the Venezuelans, and some other oil rich state, but companies like Exxon and Mobile and those cornshuckers charging me 3+ a gallon.
