24. Wait, there's more...
Continue assault on reproductive rights
How the hell do you do this? Slap around a few vaginae?
Abolish the EPA, Depts. of Education and Energy
Oh, Lord I hope so!
Privatize schools, stripping more public dollars from public schools, institue a voucher system
Yeah, cuz vouchers are SO terrible those poor, minority parents in DC were simple BEGGING dear leader to abolish them his very first morning in office!
Appoint/elect more wingnut judges to lower courts
Appoint wingnut justices to the SCOTUS
STILL hoping someone has the sense to appoint Janice Rogers Brown to the SCOTUS. Not only would she be a great CONSTITUTIONALIST on the court but black & female would really put their panties in a twist!
Roll back all consumer protection efforts
What the heck does that mean? Don't most irons already say CAUTION: Hot Surface! Do we need a department for that? Besides, there are magazines like Parents and Consumer Reports who test products all the time and give safety warnings. Often they're better and more current than the government.
Abolish any Wall Street Reforms
You mean like the government take over of companies like Goldmann Sachs? Government should stay out of the money laundering business.
Allow for more speculation in the housing and energy markets
How is this done? Did something happen to speculators and I missed it?
Abolish and/or drastically reduce economic regulations
What the hell is that supposed to mean? Are we talking about pricing, what a company can sell, wages?
Continue and increase unfair trade agreements, sending jobs overseas
Doesn't CONTINUE indicate it's happening already? Perhaps if unions didn't hold such sway (can you say Democrat deep pockets), there weren't threats of excessive taxation, worries about what the hell is going to happen with health care and the Executive branch not trying to tell companies which state(s) they can build in companies would be more inclined to stay.
Abolish net neutrality
Oh, I hope so!
Legitimize torture and continue its practice
Two words: Osama DEAD!
Redistrict along intense party lines to reduce majority-minority representation
Done by congress, not the White House. Has nothing to do with the boy-king.
Allow for more tax havens and loopholes for the wealthy AND reduce marginal tax rate
How about a flat tax for ALL. No loopholes, no deductions. The IRS would be much, much smaller, thus saving taxpayers money.
Abolish any remnant of FDR/LBJ safety net
Yeah, cuz we sure wouldn't want to lose those inner city plantation where you racists continue to hold the black man down!
Abolish affirmative action (yes, that includes affirmative action for white women, too!)
Well, I can understand why you'd be partial to this. After keeping them uneducated and on the plantation it's important to throw the occasional bone so they think they matter to you. We, on the other hand, think they're smart & competent enough to get into a school/job on their own merits.
Abolish Title IX and all sex discrimination laws, restore "unequal pay"
"Unequal" pay most often occurs because of different kinds of jobs and level of experience. It's hardly an issue anymore.
Reduce protections for women who have been raped and/or abused
How does one do this, throw them in a cell with several rapists and then lock them in a basement with a dominatrix? Give every pedophile a NAMBLA membership and a child of their choice?
Continue assault on civil rights laws, restrict or abolish the 14th Amendment
Considering it was WHITE Republicans who fought to free the slaves it's ridiculous to think WE would be the ones repealing it. But I sure would like to abolish your inner city plantations by give these citizens a true hand UP. We didn't fight and die so you could enslave them again.
Continue assault on history and the systematic "dumbing down" of the American people by rewriting textbooks, not requiring basic Civics classes, and having no standards in the Corporate Media (further deregulate the FCC)
Considering you guys have spent the last few decades eliminating US History and replacing it with multiculturalism, I'd say it's time for an overhaul. Local control, not federal or union control would go a long way towards correcting the situation. The literacy rate when children learned mostly at home BEFORE public school was very high. Only about 4 in 1000 people were unable to read and write and the Federalist Papers were understood by common people, unlike today. John Taylor Gatto, once NY teacher of the year, is SO against public education that he quit teaching and has devoted his life to promoting homeschooling.
Before I pulled my youngest son out of school, his whole understanding of history was Columbus discovered America, the Oregon Trail, and white men were evil and put those noble American Indians on reservations. To this day he has never used the "skills" of building pueblos out of empty cereal and gelatin boxes and the fine are of making sugar cube igloos.
Oh, for obvious reasons one of the fastest growing segments of the homeschooling community is minority families. They're damn tired of the substandard education they've been getting from the liberal establishment.
