"Conservatives" should all move to Haiti. It would be their dreamland.
Edited on Sat Mar-13-10 05:25 PM by RBInMaine
The next time some asshat "conservative" TeaBagger, RePUKElican, Libertarian, or whatever starts up with their "socialism" or "I hate government" or "Gut the government" shit, tell them to either shut up or move the hell to Haiti. Yes, Haiti is the perfect place for American "conservatives." Government is very small and provides very little. Don't have to worry nearly as much about those "evil" public schools, public health programs, etc. etc. 1% owns over 50% of the nation's wealth. The overwhelming majority are Christian, and probably no one gives a damn if you walk around armed with an uzi. The water might not be very clean, but why waste precious public money on water treatment plants. The roads might be largely dirt, but why waste precious public money on infrastructure. It really is their dreamland. So few regulations. So little government. Pollute all you want. And only 65% of the country is literate to a basic level, which still may be too high for conservatives, but much lower than the U.S. so it would be easier for them to spout their propaganda and con people. So, not happy RePUKES? Move to Haiti and see what "small government" is really like, especially now as they clean up from their recent natural disaster. Don't want to move to Haiti? Then stop being STUPID and HYPOCRITICAL about the importance of public investments in a society, and SHUT UP!

2. I made this argument a long time ago, only I articulated what you just said
(altho you said it a lot better) and compared it so that big, bad socialist country, Germany, with all its taxes and labor unions and socialized medicine. It gives people pause when you outline it that way for them.

4. On balance, even most more "conservative" Dems aren't as bad as the RePUKES.

5. Why would they do that when they can turn the U.S. into Guatemala
where the rich own everything, have all the power, and everyone else (us) is fucked.

7. Actually, Somalia's a little closer to their dreamland.
There has been no real government (not just a corrupt one as in Haiti) forever, but, there are a lot more guns than Haiti, including untold numbers of automatic weapons.

9. Now what did the poor Haitian people ever do to deserve such a thing?
I think their lives are shitty enough at the moment without being bombarded with our unwanted nutcases and freaks.
