John Birch's Body Lies A-Molderin' In The Grave

From the Republican Party of Maine's Neo-John Birch Society platform, adopted over the wknd.:
The document calls for the elimination of the Department of Education and the Federal Reserve, demands an investigation of "collusion between government and industry in the global warming myth," suggests the adoption of "Austrian Economics," declares that "'Freedom of Religion' does not mean 'freedom from religion'" (which I guess makes atheism illegal), insists that "healthcare is not a right," calls for the abrogation of the "UN Treaty on Rights of the Child" and the "Law Of The Sea Treaty" and declares that we must resist "efforts to create a one world government."
The Law of the Sea Treaty?

Why yes. The Heritage Foundation is opposed to it. In 2004, the deep thinkers at the Foundation were still invoking Reagan's opposition to the law 22 yrs. earlier. That took a lot of thought & "research," didn't it?
Environmental and Economic Issues
Former President Reagan refused to sign the Treaty in 1982 due to its innate conflict with basic free-market principles (e.g., private property, free enterprise, and competition).
And admire Maine's reactionary activists here. If we can get the death panels going soon enough, none of these morbid jerks will be alive to vote in 2012, and all the money saved can go to public-funded abortions & non-abstinence sex education.*Added later: Read the platform. A hoot, & so well-written & clearly-expressed.

*Not a joke. Not sarcasm. Let them fucking die already, if they're so miserable & oppressed. And the money can go to our disability fund too.

  3. From The Econ. Desk Ed.:

    Morbo's got it. The politicians needn't make the money directly: It will end up perpetuating their power one way or the other.
