Neo-cons, like smoking and trans fat, must be outlawed from American civilization

Many Americans have gotten used to the idea that the government is going to try and ban things that may be bad for them. Smoking has slowly but surely become something you can only do at home, as even having a cigarette outside is illegal in some areas.

Taken a step further, recently New York decided it wouldn’t allow its restaurants to use trans fat in their foods, and many other cities will likely jump on this train, making illegal the artery hardening stuff.

Now, while I don’t agree with the vast majority of these rules and feel the average American doesn’t need the State to be their babysitters, I am but a man of my time and like the rest of you, stuck with these rules while in the U.S.

That being said, if the government is so hell-bent on keeping me safe, I have but one suggestion that will keep not only Americans, but citizens of the world much, much safer.

It’s time we ban neoconservatives.

Yes, these blood-thirsty freaks have done enough damage and its time for them to go. Rules must be made. Laws must be placed on the books. Act like a neo-con, go to jail and pay a massive fine. It’s the only way to get rid of such out-of-touch, fringe maniacs as Robert Kagan and Bill Kristol, who recently had the immense balls to write this in the Weekly Standard:

[T]he president will have to be, much more than he has been, his own general and strategist. He will have to decide on his own that incremental measures, such as stepping up the pace of Iraqi training, will not make enough of a difference in a short enough time to prevent a collapse of American policy and of Iraq itself. He will have to decide, contrary to the advice of many of his top advisers, that many more American troops need to be sent to Iraq, and as quickly as possible. . . .

Now he needs to display a different kind of courage. He has to take into his own hands the fate of Iraq and make his own decisions about what needs to be done. Of course, he should listen to all his advisers. But he must also know that his advisers, both civilian and military, have been failing him for the past three years. American policy, if it is to have any hope of turning the tide, must change dramatically in the next month or two. No one other than President Bush can make that change.

The course of action is obvious. Laws must be passed, and soon, because these people want even more war, and they could possibly get it, because the man in charge of the nation is such an abject failure that he’ll take anyone’s advice as long as it’s not his Daddy’s.

Neo-cons, like trans fat, have brought nothing good to America and have only made others money while putting the majority at risk. Like trans fat, neo-cons kill indescriminately and have no care about who they hurt. Like cigarettes, they have no feelings and care only for profit and their own survival.

We need to start cranking out petitions, or start mailing campaigns, or toilet-paper people’s yards, whatever it is people do to get things like this started. It’s imperative to the future of this land.

Because neo-cons must be banned. And now. Because they’re only going to continue to make things worse for all of us.

    Since everything except working and sleeping is unhealthy and bad for you, what are we waiting for? Put everyone in a slave labor camp and call it healthy.

    I feel about neocons the same way I do about the trans fat issue–education is more effective than banning them. Educate people on why these idiots *are* idiots and should not be allowed any more power or access to the public discourse. Before they speak publicly, they should have to announce that they are neocons (just as restaurants should have to mention that a dish has trans fats in it); and people with any sense at all will immediately ignore them.

    Even work can cause stress, which is bad for you, and sleeping to little or to much is bad for you.

    We can’t all just sit around, because that would be bad for you also.

    Maybe we should just all kill ourselves, but thats REALLY bad for you.

    ARGH the nanny state!!!

    Since smoking was made illegal (this coming from a life long non-smoker) I have worried that the lunitic fringe would see this as an opportunity to pounce on ideas like making foods containing excessive amounts of trans-fat illegal. Now you want to make ideas illegal? You just have to be kidding!! As difficult as it is sometimes, you just have to trust that enough of the population will recognize the neo-cons for the fools they are, but what you can’t do is become one of them.
