The Republicans have destroyed themselves. We are the future.
We must stop dwelling on the failures, corruption and crimes of the Republicans. We must turn our attention to the future.
This is how that future looks:
Energy Independence is the first step in the war on Global Warming. Single Payer Health Insurance is the first step toward better health care and security for everyone. Eliminating corporate welfare and massive new Import restrictions are the first steps in restoring job security, prosperity and opportunity.
Restoring taxes on the millionaires is the first step in fiscal responsibility. Closing down the world-wide Defense Department boondoggle and creating more lighting-fast, super-fire strike forces strengthens American defense and security. This is how we win the war on terrorism.
The new America categorically condemns "first strike", torture and unilateral interference in the affairs of any other nation. The new America again embraces the United Nations and encourages its expansion in fighting poverty, and improving world health, education, human rights and peace-keeping battles to stop genocide, invasions and crimes against humanity where ever they occur.
The new America condemns the World Trade Organization, International Monetary Fund and World Bank as tools of economic slavery. The new America demands all the so-called Free Trade Agreements add strong provisions for labor rights, unions, decent working conditions, fair wages and environmental protection. We demand that the businesses and corporations manufacturing the products covered under these agreements immediately reduce pollution and emissions that add to global warming or forfeit the right to sell their products in America.
America was founded by idealists and optimists who saw a new future and bet their lives on it. Immigrants optimistically gamble everything on American ideals and the opportunity to build a better life.
So let us invite the remains of the Republican party to help us return America to the ideals of the Founders. It should keep us busy for another couple of hundred years.
This is the future I want. This is what I stand for as a Democrat.
