The “Republican” Idea of Freedom: Forced Sterilization of Women, and No Privacy for Anyone.

Starting with the poor, but not stopping there.
We’ll let this senior GOP official lay out his party’s “conservative” vision:

"You put me in charge of Medicaid, the first thing I’d do is get Norplant, birth-control implants, or tubal ligations,” said Russell Pearce on his weekly talk radio program. Then we’ll test recipients for drugs and alcohol, and if you want to [reproduce] then get a job.”

He also suggested Spartan accommodations and strict rules for anyone who received government housing assistance.

“Ever live in a military barracks?” he said. “You’ll maintain your property in a clean, good state of repair, and your home will be subjected to an inspection at any time, possessions will be inventoried. If you want a plasma TV or an X-Box 360, then get a job.”


Got that? Forced surgery, like they do in China, and did in Nazi Germany. No Constitutional rights, like they do in Russia and Iran. You will have no rights at all, none, zip, nada. That is the Repub agenda, and has been for the entire century (remember the Patriot Act?).

Why the f*** is anybody voting for these Fascist bastards? And why the f*** isn’t everybody voting against them? Christ on a ballot box, people, we need to wake the f***ing f*** up.

This is THEIR America. The wealthy America, Corporate America.

Of course they will sterilize women, of course they will outlaw Abortion... not abortion DOCTORS. Of course they want to kill Obama THEY can afford any medical procedure on the planet (and it would be pocket change to them)
They want (remember two prominent GOPHER presidential hopefuls who proposed weakening child labor laws)...They want our children in their Coal mines AGAIN!
They want the poor kids mopping the floors of the school cafeteria where the other kids get to frown down on them for being born poor.

They don't care. They have their America, they are only trying to "grow" it.

Shouldn't he be enjoying the "spartan, military-barracks-like accommodations" of a jail cell?
