Amy Alkon of Advice Goddess points to a list by Luke Thompson which tells us all the things we fear about Kerry (or God forbid, Kucinich) winning:
If we had a president who is as far to the left as Bush is to the right, he would have done the following things:There's more. Go shudder at all the prospects at "Bush League".
-Given federal funding to the Nation of Islam, Church of Scientology, PETA, and the Madalyn Murray O'Hair foundation. Denied it to any organization that allowed open expression of Christianity. As a consolation prize, made a public speech declaring that Christianity is a religion of peace.
-Introduced the following acts: The "Meat is Tasty" act, to promote a vegan lifestyle; The "More Profits for Businessmen" act that would in fact cut CEO salaries in half; The "I Love Jesus" act, making it legal to bulldoze churches; and the "No Gun Left Behind" act, which would confiscate the guns from all Americans except Arabs who could show that they need guns because of their religion. ...
-Given one press conference a year, and insisted in talking in Ebonics at each.
-Passed legislation banning cigarettes from everywhere unless they're filled with pot, in which case smoking would be encouraged, especially by drivers and airline pilots.
