Moderate Conservatives are True Conservatives

The Republican started out as the more liberal of the two parties, as it was against slavery. Ironically, the Republicans became in favor of segregation (as were DINOs). The moderates, however, weren't. These moderates, such as Nelson Rockefeller & Barry Goldwater, dominated the party. However, in 1980, the Republican party became dominated by two separate yet equally important groups: the Judeo-Christians, who are against anything that contradicts their religion; and the “Family Values” crusaders, who hate  anything that would offend 1950s American values. Republicans aren't supposed to be like this. The Republican's official positions are (as presented on the site): a rather hawkish foreign policy, they are against government run healthcare, they promote energy independence, they promote a voucher system, they believe in a free market economy, & that a judge's job is to interpret the law. That last one reflects judicial conservatism, which is to the Constitution as the Judeo-Christian conservatives are to Genesis. Though, these two groups are completely Unconstitutional. The Constitution guarantees complete & utter separation between Church & State. It also guarantees Freedom of speech & the right to pursue happiness as long as no one is harmed, which goes against the policies of the FVC.  Also, the more conservative Democrats became neo-cons in the 70s, whose "War on Terror" movement is to the PATRIOT ACT as Christianity is to the Bible. The movement goes against the fourth (occasionally the fifth) amendment.

My political positions.

Abortion
 It's her choice, but I ain't paying. 
Affirmative Action
There should be no legal implications of racism.
Death Penalty
Only apprpoiate in situations such as the nine 11 attacks.

 Free market.
Education -
 I support cutting funding during economic depressions/recessions. I'm against the teaching of creationism, intelligent design, or school prayer in government funded areas.
Embryonic Stem Cell Research
 I support.
Energy
 Oil drilling is important.
Euthanasia
&  Physician-assisted suicide
 People have the right to die if they want.
Global Warming/
      Climate Change
 A few years ago, they were talking about global cooling.
Gun Control
 The second amendment states people have the right to weapons.
Health Care
 I oppose public healthcare.
Homeland Security
 I oppose racial profiling.
Immigration
 There should be less restrictions on immigration.
Private Property
 I respect property rights.
Religion and Government
 The first amendment guarantees complete & utter secularism. 
Same-sex Marriage
 Homosexuals should have the same rights as heterosexuals

 Privatize it.
Taxes
 Should be flat & high enough to keep a balanced budget & for social standing. I oppose using tax as incentives.

War on Drugs
Why are junkies considered evil in our society? The states don't know what's best for us. The individual knows what is best for him.
War on Terror/Terrorism
 This is nothing more then the states just trying to interfere with our personal lives. They exploit the fear, sadness, & anger Americans had on September 11, 2001 to break the fourth amendment. 
Welfare
I think welfare receiving who are able to work should in order to continue receiving their benefits.

Pastafarianism

There is a theory called string theory. It should be named "Noodle theory". Today is Pastover, a Pastafarian holiday. There is proof of string theory. There is also proof however, that these strings are actually noodles. There are mountains of scientific evidence for this. The noodles, of course, is how the FSM stays omnipresent.
RAMEN

If you don't like this review, your mother was a hamster & your father smelt of elderberries!

I am listening to "We're the Knights of the Round Table". The last film I watched was "The Holy Grail". Here, King Arthur (Graham Chapman) attempts to fin knights to help him find the holy grail. One of the funnier scenes is when a knight sworn to chastity comes across a group of women, of of whom states: Oh, I am afraid our life must seem very dull and quiet compared
to yours.  We are but eight score young blondes and brunettes, all between
      sixteen and nineteen and a half, cut off in this castle with no one to
      protect us!  Oh, it is a lonely life -- bathing, dressing, undressing,
      making exciting underwear....  
I prefer red heads. Anyway, this is a very funny that will have you laughing out loud.

A most excellent review

After I watched "The Meaning of Life", I watched "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure". Rufus (George Carlin!) from the year 2688 travels back in time to ensure Bill & Ted (Alex Winter & Keano Reeves) pass their history class. If they don't they will never start the band "Wyld Stallions", as Ted's father threatens to send him to a military school in a different state if they fail. The music is essential to the future. Rufus helps by giving them the time machine, which they use to travel through history collecting famous people. The historical figures try adapting to San Dimas, with little success. This film is for fan of "Saturday Night Live", science fiction, time travel, The 80s, or "The Matrix" (I fall into all five).

This isn't a great review but...well, fuck you.

I am listening to "Every Sperm is Sacred" as I type this. Now the great intelligentsia Monty Python will tackle the meaning of life. They do so in a variety of sketches in this particular film. These include military sketches, a sketch of a man vomiting, a teacher fucking his wife in front of students, satyric Catholics, & much more. The meaning of life is comically investigated in this film, as in very sketch, they attempt to find meaning in something, but we are no closer to finding the meaning. The meaning of life has always been the main question in philosophy, as people either think we are "spiraling coils of self replicating DNA" or that we are here for a purpose. Throughout this, they satire Catholicism, the military, politics, the middle aged, Corporate America, the pompousness of the English, all while trying to find out why we are here. I highly recommended this film.

Amazed & Enthused

After watching LOB, I watched "Dazed & Confused" for the third time. I felt bad about not celebrating 420, so  I made up the lack of celebration by watching the best stoner film ever. This film is about a group of people about to enter & graduate high school as they attend a party. My favorite is Mike, as the second time I watched the film, I wanted to be an ACLU lawyer, which he says was his goal in life. Also, we both identify as misanthropes & express a hatred for self appointed, over dominant alpha male types. I've a crush on Cynthia (I tend to have crushes on fictional characters: Luna Lovegood, Rory Gilmore, Alice from the 1951 version of "AIW", Michelle Flaherty, Ginny Weasly, to name a few). So does the character of Wooderson (Matthew McConaughey). The children about to enter high school are being tortured by the ones about to finish, especially Mitch Kramer (Wiley Wiggins), who is tortured by O'Bannion (Ben Affleck), who purposely failed a grade just to have another year to bully freshmen. This is a great coming of age film that I think any stoner, soon to be freshman (at high school or college) should watch.

Supergood

 I'm listening to "Too Hot to Stop" as I type this. This is a review of the 2007 critically acclaimed ilm, Greg Mottala's "Superbad". Now, this was produced by Apatow productions. Actors, writers, & producers common in Apatow films are called the Apatow group. My personal favorites are Michael Cera, Jonah Hill, & Seth Rogen. All of these appear in "Superbad", the latter being a co-producer. The two main characters are named after the producers. Seth (played by Hill) is a  satyric & foul-mouthed high school student who is the funniest character in the film. He is about to graduate along with his friend Evan (Cera). Evan is just as immature as Seth, though much more intelligent & charismatic. He is calm, cool, & collected, counter to Seth. He is to Seth as Broflovski is to Cartman. Little is told about the characters, (not even their last names are revealed). Evan has a crush on Becca, while Seth lusts after Jules (who shares his sense of humor). Evan, along with their friend Fogell (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) are about to attend Dartmouth. Fogell has a fake ID, which he plans to use to buy alcohol for the trio, as Jules is hosting a party, & they promised the girls they would bring alcohol (the ID is barely convincing.). Seth plans to get Jules drunk in order to have sex with her. He advises Evan to do the same. Evan reluctantly tags along Seth. I wouldn't want to spoil the plot (I had absolutely no knowledge of the plot before watching the film). I want to encourage the reader to watch the film, as it is quite enjoyable indeed. This is one of those coming of age films that make people who are younger then the characters hoping to eventually have a similar adventure, & the ones older wishing they did (If they did, they reminisce). I'd say this would be appropriate for fourth-graders with a basic training in profanity & obscenity. Please, for me, watch this film.

Weview of "Life of Bwian"

Yesterday, I watched a film that satires Christianity, groups with a mutual official enemy but compete with each other so much that they become each other's De Facto enemy, haggling, optimism, & more. This film is "Life of Brian". This is a great film. 

Oh no it isn't.
Oh yes it is.
Oh no it isn't.
Yes it is.

As the name suggests, this tells the story of a man named Brian. If you don't want to watch this film, don't. You don't need to follow me, you don't need to follow anybody! You've got to think for yourselves! You're all individuals!
