If I Was The Man

I’ve often wondered what I could do to make the world a better place. More particularly, what I could do to make our country a better place. And even though I love the passion and excitement of a heated political arena, I don’t think I could ever make it as a politician. For the simple reason, I don’t do political correctness.

So, for what it’s worth, I’d like to share some of my ideas on how I would handle things if I were in charge. As you’ll see, I would not likely be the most popular leader. But no one ever makes it to the top without pissing off a few people. In no particular order, here are my ideas for a better country:


1. The War on Terror (or whatever politically correct moniker Obama gives it these days) will now be known as The War on Radical Islam. If Muslims are offended, too bad. I'm offended when Islamic fundamentalists fly planes into our buildings. The last time I checked, it wasn't the Mormon Tabernacle Choir who was obsessed with blowing us up.

2. Effective immediately, anyone convicted of molesting a child gets the mandatory death penalty. This especially goes for pedophile priests! To me, there’s nothing worse than some monster who robs a child of their innocence.

3. Judges would have to take responsibility for the murderers, rapist and pedophiles that they turn back out to society. If the judges truly believe that these people are “rehabilitated”, they'd better be ready to answer for them!

4. English will be the official language of the United States. If you want to continue to speak Spanish, stay south of the border, amigo!

5. Anyone in this country illegally will be arrested and ultimately deported. There will be neither amnesty nor road to citizenship. If you want to become a citizen, come through the gates legally. And any businesses caught employing illegals will face stiff penalties.

6. There will be term limits for Senators. I think it’s ridiculous to watch a 90 year old man in the Senate struggling to stay awake.

7. There will be strict oversight on welfare recipients. Anyone caught committing welfare fraud will be hit with stiff penalties. I’m sick of footing the bill for their sorry asses! On top of this, welfare recipients will be required to complete some type community service. Every effort will be made on the government’s behalf to train these people for some type of vocation. Feeling sorry for these folks doesn’t do them a bit of good. Teaching them a job skill and instilling pride does!

8. There will be tax breaks for married couples. Children that grow up in a household with a mother AND father tend to be more successful. It’s about time that we get back to some traditional values!

9. There will be federal conceal and carry laws that allow law abiding citizens to sufficiently arm themselves. Because nothing stops a bad guy with a gun better than a good guy with a gun!

10. Animal cruelty will be treated as a felony. There’s no absolutely no reason for abusing an animal and strict penalties will be enforced. On this same note, NFL quarterbacks will not be rewarded with multi-million dollar contracts after they've commited animal abuse.

11. There will no more bailouts of the car companies. Instead, there will be large tax incentives to buy American cars. For example, buy a GM car and get a $5000 tax credit. Cars will sell, buyers will get a break and the tax payer doesn’t get stuck with the bill. It’s a win-win-win!

12. Convicted drug offenders will have two choices: mandatory rehab or jail. You say this is harsh and drug abuse is a victimless crime? See if you feel the same way when Kerry the crack addict does $1000 damage to your work truck and delivers all of your tools to the local pawnshop!

13. CIA interrogators will be allowed to do what they need to do to get information from terror suspects. War is ugly and sometimes you’ve got to get your hands a little dirty. If it saves American lives, it's worth it!

14. Soldiers in the field will not have to fear prosecution from their own government for following orders. We have the best military in the world and our commanders will be trusted to do the right thing!


Obviously, the list could be considerably longer. But I have plenty of time to come up with more stuff before Election Day!

  4. I would like to say you have our support and I am pretty sure our extended families on both sides. Now you better start fundraising because you know it's expensive to buy the President or any position in Washington. Once you get there hopefully you can change this too, but for now, they are all just a bunch of legalized racketeers with their votes always up for sale to the highest bidder.
