We conservatives will have to wait AT LEAST 4 years to hear a State of the Union speech like this one. It's OUR fault for not jumping in behind Mitt or Fred soon enough with our full weight, so we got the media's choice, John McCain. Sit back and enjoy this address to the union, and imagine it coming from George Allen or maybe if we're lucky, Mitt Romney four years from now.
Good evening my fellow Americans. I come to you tonight with some innovative ideas that will change our country for the better and will ensure our long term survival as a republic of free people. These ideas may seem revolutionary to many of you, but they would be second nature to our Founding Fathers, people like John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. After all, you didn't elect me to take opinion polls, you elected me to lead and defend our country.
Let's start with the war against radical Islam. Islam is not now, and never has been a religion of peace. From day one it has been spread by the sword. Jihad, or holy war, is one of Islam's most important doctrines. Those Muslim countries that wish to live in peace with the rest of the world and NOT support terrorism will be friends of America and business partners. Those who wish to support radical Islam and terrorism will be our enemies until we vanquish you and install democratic reforms in your countries. To achieve this end WE WILL BE RELENTLESS !! We will blockade your oil exports for starters and if that diesn't work invasion will commence. The days of mixed messages emanating from Washington D.C are over! I say again, in the war on radical Islam, you are either with us or you are against us.
That brings us to our current energy problems. America is far too reliant on foreign oil for our energy needs. We all know that the money spent on mideast oil too often ends up in the hands of terrorists. Tomorrow I will issue Executive Orders opening up ANWR in Alaska and oil drilling off the coasts of Florida and California. The known oil deposits alone in these areas will lessen our dependence on foreign oil sources by approximately 50% inside of 8 years. I encourage all entrepreneurs out there to develop more efficient fuel cells and alternative fuels, as well as improvements in wind and solar power technology. This is best done in the private sector. Do NOT expect government handouts or grants for your energy research, you will know that you're successful when private investors are willing to invest in you! All price supports for ethanol will halt immediately, corn is a FAR more efficient food that it is a fuel source.
There is another critical issue that threatens the long term well being of our great republic. Government spending is out of control. Defense spending will remain untouched, but I will ask Congress to cut all other federal spending by 25% this year and an additional 10% next year, with zero budget growth years to follow. The Departments of Education, Commerce, Agriculture, Labor, HUD, Energy, and Health and Human Services are a miserable waste of your hard-earned tax dollars and will be eliminated by Executive Order tomorrow. We DESPERATELY need to privatize Social Security and Medicare. The budget forecasts for these two programs are never honestly dealt with and are a tremendous threat to our county's future. Social Security will be privatized, solvent and thriving when we have private accounts that are out of the reach of politicians' greedy hands. We will have a two year transition period for Medicare reform. We all know that health care can be horribly expensive. By opening up medical care to free market competition and eliminating harmful government mandates, the prices will come down dramatically and the quality of care will increase. The government will immediately dispense with the myriad of regulations on American insurance companies which drive up their prices. Step two of the medical reform package will include serious tort reform. Medicaid will be further restricted to the most needy and limited to American citizens ONLY !
Tax reform is also vital to our national survival. I'll need your help with Congress on this issue, because it requires Congress to relinquish a tremendous amount of it's power. I would like to implement the FairTax ! This is also known as the Retail Sales Tax. This would replace the Federal Income Tax and withholding system with a simple 22% sales tax on new goods and services. The research shows that this would be revenue neutral to the federal government and we would eliminate the IRS ! This would make our tax code truly voluntary without reducing revenue, eliminate BILLIONS in embeddeed taxes and bring offshore corporate dollars back into the United States economy. This is a winning idea for America's future prosperity. Please call your congressman and together we can make the FairTax happen.
Starting tomorrow I will be on the phone with the governors of all the border states, encouraging them to send their state's guard troops to the border to defend our border against illegals while we build that double wall that we've promised for so long. If they refuse to help we will stop their federal highway money until they help defend America. Defending our southern border isn't only to defend against terrorism or cheap labor ruining our jobs, we want to preserve our unique American culture. Allowing unassimilated Hispanic hordes into America in vast numbers damages our way of life in dozens of different ways. LEGAL immigration is good for America. Illegal immigration is not!
The state of America's government schools is a national disgrace. It's my goal to privatize the current government school system which ill serves so many students today and directly threatens America's future. This cannot be done overnight, but I want to offer school vouchers for all government school children starting next school year. The money will go with the child. Teacher's unions are dead set against this idea and practically own the Democrat Party, so again I will need your help implementing this plan. It is the ONLY way to dramatically increase the quality of education for America's schoolchildren.
For two-hundred and thirty years The United States of America has been a beacon of hope and a bastion of freedom for oppressed people everywhere. These reforms will help us keep that dream alive, so that this great experiment in human freedom will never perish from the earth ! Goodbye for now and God bless you all !
Well we can dream can't we?
