ch-ch-ch-changes hillary and barack don’t want

i love how the rhetoric and SHABAZZ of the “change” theme has obscured something . . . large:  real change. so i made a list of what real change would look like, and i intend to send it along to the hill and obamarama web sites (they sure do have purdy mouths.  downright gleaming faces and hair, too):

1.  talking openly and with compassion and respect with and about gay people.  getting their rights properly up front where they should be, instead of dancing around political potholes.  getting rid of ALL barriers and prejudices.  like immediately.  like the urgency of now.

2.  eradicate homelessness. period. the urgency of now.

3.  shut your pie holes with all your “i’m for the middle class” mumbo jumbo and give your workers jobs, or i’m gonna get all emma goldman on your ass and encourage unemployed workers to take immediate action. Her exact words:  “Well then, demonstrate before the palaces of the rich; demand work. If they do not give you work, demand bread. If they deny you both, take bread.”

4.  erect a health care system a la francaise or oh canada.  quit pussy-footing around with lesser, dumber plans. by the way, micheal moore, where’d your balls go?

5.  quit treating minorities like the enemy.  who you calling illegal alien, pilgrim? just because your “plans” go down like a spoonful of sugar doesn’t mean you are lessening hatred of the other in our country, which is currently magnified to cinematic proportions.

6.  stop courting women, black and latinos like you are car salesmen–admit openly and with enthusiasm that women, african americans, and latinos (as well as all minorities, including gay people) are essential to the nation because they educate our children, they invent our most important ideas and products, they work harder than anyone anywhere, their intellects are equal to and in many cases superior to old white men, and the positions they occupy ought to once and for all be EQUAL in terms of legitimacy, authority, and oh yeah, PAY.

furthermore, about women, and about marriage, if we must keep that tired old institution around, say out loud and in the political realm that women are  “companions” to their husbands, rather than mere wives. Instead of viewing women as ornaments to society or property to be traded in marriage, how about we make it part of the consitution that they are human beings deserving of the same fundamental rights as men.

and even more furthermore, that same-sex couples who choose to marry, which will be legal in all states since you are all about CHANGE, right, that they get everything straight people get. always. immediately.

7.  reinvent the military as a peace-keeping force, you pussies.

8.  dismantle texas, remove its people, and give the entire land mass and redistribute all of its wealth among native americans.

9.  create a public works revolution that gets us off oil RIGHT NOW. not ten years from now, not twenty.

10.  radically redistribute the wealth in our country so that poor people don’t exist as a caste or a class–put your money where your mouth is.

oh and one last thing–obama, if you don’t stop saying that “market forces and faith-based initiatives are good Republican ideas we can work with,” i’m going to send the ghost of kenneth lay, jeffrey skilling, Ted Haggard and a buncha catholic pedophiles over for lunch.
