Why California Sucks Ass!!!

[Radar]

Lookout knows I don't take it personally.

It's all fun until someone loses an eye.

Back then, as now, I was a more intelligent, and better person than you and my campaign was very successful. It's cute when someone who has lost every argument with me has the temerity to call me a loser.

In America, we have a little thing called the Constitution and our constitution was created to restrict the powers of our government. It grants government certain powers and those include ROADS. I have no problem paying for services that I use. American taxes are paid for with gasoline taxes. I think a better way to do it would be to make the roads private and to pay tolls. And we should allow any private person to create toll roads if they buy the land and build them.

As far as parks, public restrooms, etc., I'd be for having privately owned parks run by nature conservancies. I'd pay a fee to use the park as long as it had clean restrooms that don't stink...which very few parks in America have.

Just a couple of things.

Firstly, so were you a winner or a loser when you ran? You didn't answer the question.

Secondly, with respect to your last couple of paragraphs; let's just use the question of roads for the sake of argument. If you don't pay taxes, who is going to provide the roads for you to drive on? I'm really interested to know what your solution would be (aside from putting tolls on all roads because this is simply not feasible and I don't have the time or energy to bother putting type the reasons why your suggestion is totally ludicrous).

[insert shovel, w/2 cents]I just reckon it's why California needs me. We need at least one person who pays attention to foreign policy to counterbalance radar's view that foreign policy shouldn't exist -- constitutionally.

I'll thank you not to make baseless assertions or false claims about my position. I think America should have a foreign policy. I think we should trade freely and equitably with all nations and should never use our military to be involved in the disputes of other nations, to make enemies globally, or to otherwise stick our noses where it doesn't belong....like Iraq.

California needs you like Lincoln needed another hole in the head. America needs a workable and intelligent foreign policy like mine in the same way humans need oxygen to survive.

I think it's cute when someone bases their ethics and morality on an old piece of paper, written by people who lived in a very different world. Whether it's the Bible, the Koran or the Constitution.

I guess it's a good thing my ethics, morality, and rights don't come from any religious doctrine or old pieces of paper. I do respect the foundation of our government (the U.S. Constitution) and demand that our government abide by the limitations on its powers by that "old piece of paper" whose words are as fresh, carefully crafted, and meaningful today as they were the day they were written.

G.W.B's mantra.

Libertarians are supposed to be extremely anti-Lincoln. I would think you'd be all for another hole in his head.

Here are the Top 5 cities which ranked highest in auto theft last year:

• Modesto, CA.
• Las Vegas, NV.
• San Diego/Carlsbad/San Marcos, CA.
• Stockton, CA.
• San Francisco/Oakland/Fremont, CA.

Highlighting mine.

Oh yeah, one other thing.

I'm pretty sure you're the only one who thinks you've ever 'won' every discussion you and I (or you and anyone else) have ever had. If it makes you feel good about yourself to think so, that's ok though. Surprisingly, I really don't lose any sleep over people like you who to me, are the bad apples that put a tarnished reflection on all their countrymen and women. I don't suppose you care about that though...considering you're an individual and don't care about your countrymen beyond the constitution and how it affects you as an individual.

I'm a shining example of what a truly patriotic, well-educated, and hard-working American can be. I'm a credit to my country and improve the reputation of America and my countrymen. When I travel to other countries, I am an ambassador of good will and friendship to all nations, but would still never allow my government to step beyond the boundaries of its limited powers. I care about myself, my family members, and my fellow citizens. This is why I constantly stay on the side of freedom, and away from stupidity like socialism. I fight for my freedom and for the freedom of those who are too stupid to know what freedom is. Even those who stupidly look to government to solve their problems.

That's a lovely little speech Radar, but you've blown a hole in your own foot with a lot of the tripe you've posted here. You constantly tell most if not all of us how you're better or more intelligent than us. You have some very strange ideas about how certain documents should be interpreted and quite frankly, you're incredibly rude and condescending in practically every single post you decide to create.

If that's a shining example of what an American is, then you and your countrymen have a problem.
