American Domestic Policy

[AmericanPride]

Unfortunately, America suffers from the absence of a singular and comprehensive domestic policy aimed towards the maximization of economic productivity and social activity. If such a policy were to be established, it would greatly strengthen America's capacity to resist foreign adversaries, counter domestic disturbances, and maintain a coherent and stable national policy at home and abroad. Because of the wide variety of peoples and ideas present in these United States, it would be necessary then to pursue a policy universal to our common bonds, satisfying the inalienable demands of the individual, and enhancing his capacity to provide for the general welfare and national defense.

The policy, therefore, would:

(1) Codify the absolute rights and duties of the individual citizen in all states and across all borders;
(2) Rejuvenate those institutions that enable the individual to exercise such rights and fulfill such duties; i.e. education;
(3) Encouragement of social activity, including team sports, community projects/service, and the establishment of traditional families;
(4) Eliminate those laws, institutions, and policies contrary to the above;

Pursuant to (1), such reforms would include a re-structuring of the immigration program to encourage immigration by enfranchsing them, the institution of a mandatory civil/military service program after high school or during university, and the relaxation of restrictions on individual enterprise.

Pursuant to (2), such reforms would include the re-organization of state education systems by federal mandate, to include comprehensive "year-round" and "hands-on" education, the creation of a national police force, and the review and reform of all social programs.

Pursuant to (3), sporting and community activities will be encouraged through school programs and social organizations, including the construction of "low-income" housing, enhanced financial incentives for marriage and childbirth, penalties for unjust divorce, and a media campaign to promote a healthy lifestyle and social activity.

Certainly, the loudest criticism will come from traditional conservatives who oppose government "interference". However, as we are quickly approaching a national crisis of historical proportions, the only instrument through which the people can defend themselves from such a fate is through the expansive capacity of the state for mobilization of resources and the enforcement of the law. No individual alone can resist the ebbing tides of history.

Somehow, this all sounds vaguely familiar...

Why not throw in a torchlight parade or two?

And maybe a brass band playing "Horst Wessel".

[AmericanPride]

Parades and other forms of social activity that encourage community cohesiveness should be embraced. Where in the spirit of community brotherhood lies evil? You make reference to the National Socialists, yet I have not advocated any form of ethnocentrism or racism, or any atrocity based on such faulty premises. Instead, I have proposed reforms that I think can better enable the American people of all shapes, sizes, colors, and beliefs to secure for ourselves and our posterity a tranquil and prosperous future.

Your reference to the NAZIs is in the same futile vein of exergeration employed by talking heads on both sides of the aisle who constantly scream "NAZI" and "Communist" without understanding history.

[101ABN]

I understand history perfectly well.

And I recognize fascism when I see it.

[AmericanPride]

Rather than debate the credibility of my ideas you simply resort to emotional fear-mongering and claims of NAZIism.

That fails at THC. It fails here too.

[101ABN]

Fearmongering?

"However, as we are quickly approaching a national crisis of historical proportions, the only instrument through which the people can defend themselves from such a fate is through the expansive capacity of the state for mobilization of resources and the enforcement of the law."

Now THAT's fearmongering.

Debate your credibilty? What credibility?

Spare me the rhetoric, AP. If something looks like a duck, waddles like a duck, and quacks like a duck, I'd just as soon call it a duck.

Chris, I've told you many times that you are going over-board with your beliefs on the powers of the federal government.

I highly suggest you re-study America's Founding Fathers and why we broke free from tyranny.

And here I thought you created this forum to discuss different subjects without the insanity of THC.

Apparently not.

I think the powers of the federal government should be limited to several clearly defined fields (i.e. education), with much compelling influence in said fields. The rest should be left up to individuals.

Obviously without a serious question, you don't want a serious answer.

I think the power of the federal government should be limited to what the Constitution clearly defines.

Thankfully, those powers are few and far between. Thank God for the 9th and 10th Amendments. I suggest reading them.

Times change. So does the Constitution. I suggest reading the article concerning amendments.

The powers of the government should be left to regulating the economy, providing for the national defense, enforcing the law, and educating the populace.

[cameron]

Educating the populace is not a government responsibility nor should it be. To the extent that it is, is the reason why public education in this country sucks. Now really I want to know what are you talking about? What national crisis of historical proportions?
