Dear Citizens,

Due to the current financial situation caused by the slowdown of the ecomomy, I, President Obama have decided to implement a scheme to put workers of fifty-years-of-age and above on early retirement.

This scheme will be known as RAPE (Retire Aged People Early).


Persons selected to be RAPED can apply to Congress to be considered for the SHAFT scheme (Special Help After Forced Termination).

Persons who have been RAPED and SHAFTED will be reviewed carefully under the SCREW program (Scheme Covering Retired-Early Workers). Please note: a person may be RAPED once, SHAFTED twice, and SCREWED as many time as I, your dedicated President deem appropriate.

Persons who have been RAPED could get AIDS (Additional Income for Dependants & Spouse) or HERPES (Half Earnings for Retired Personnel Early Service).

Obviously persons who have AIDS or HERPES will not be SHAFTED or SCREWED any further by me, President Obama.

Persons who are not RAPED and are staying on will receive as much SHIT (Special High Intensity Training) as possible. Remember, I, President Obama always pride myself on the amount of SHIT I continually give our citizens.

Should you feel that you do not receive enough SHIT, please immediately bring this to the attention of your Congressman who has been carefully trained to bring you all the SHIT you can handle.

Sincerely,



President Obama

That's exactly why we're heading for the Gustapo.

I am in favor of small government and civil liberties, as our founding fathers intended. Unfortunately the republican party is neither despite claiming to be the former and the democratic party is somewhat the latter (depending on the politician). The only real party to accommodate that way of thinking is the Libertarian Party, sharing much of these philosophies. You should be able to live as you wish as long as you aren't hurting somebody else. But unfortunately there has been no strong candidates and I generally will vote democratic. What was once a good party, the republican party has been overrun by hypocritical religious zealots intent on ignoring reality and letting our scientific standing, economy, and environment crumble. If you believe the world is going to end anyway in an apocalypse, why bother doing anything to save it? A study in 2007 revealed that most republicans reject evolution. Do you really want this level of intellect making decisions for your future?

Not really, but I don't like the absence of faith in any civilization either.
It breeds an entitlement attitude. "It takes a village" my a$$.
It takes discipline.

I have no objection to anyone having faith in civilization, I object to faith being used as a tool to divide people, take away rights, or become a doctrine for governing. This breeds discrimination.

I don't disagree with that Banks.

What "progression" I've seen from the Democrat party since the early '80's has done nothing to take away working man's rights. Some liberalism.
Republicans have let Capitalism run amok. They've both become elitist parties.
I don't really think Communism is a viable option.
How's about a coop?

I think I'm just offended because I'm rapidly approaching the "over 50 crowd" that needs help... :mrgreen:

I need to find that video of Rand Paul (Ron's son) I saw a few weeks ago.
I think it'll be interesting if he makes a big stink and runs in 2010.

Maybe I'll move to Kentucky when he wins.

If Ron Paul was on the ballot, I'd have definitely considered a vote for him. He represents more of what the Republican party is SUPPOSED to be. Unfortunately it has been hijacked by extremists.
