If I were President the first thing that I would do is outlaw abortion. Secondly, I would promote the use of the death penalty.

I know under our current judicial system the President can't just do anything he wants, but answer this question theoretically as if you could. Sorry, Marksman, but under our current Constitution, the President can't just do anything he wants. As John pointed out, the legislative branch is Congress, not the President. Also, under the Tenth Amendment, which conservatives hold dear when it suits them, many laws are not even made by Congress, but by state legislatures.
legalize Bible reading and prayer in the schools Guess what. Private Bible reading and prayer in the schools already are legal and even Constitutionally protected.
There's no double standard there, nope. None at all. Move along, people, nothing to see, nothing to see.
You, sir, are an idiot, and I would rue the day that you were given any power. Fortunately, I doubt that will ever happen.
A president cannot outlaw abortion.
It's interesting that you would put higher priority on having a death penalty than on education, scientific reasearch, peace, anti-poverty programs, etc.. It's not good, intelligent or laudable, but it's interesting.
I think it makes sence, ( to a fundie ) there'll be more unwanted and unloved children who will grow up with severe 'issues' and some might get involved with crime and possibly kill someone,( or maybe this guy would punish theft with the death penalty ) and then lots more people to execute, and therefore enact god's will and vengance on earth FUN FUN FUN!
What a good little fundie.
Someone's been reading "America According to Bush."
Contrary to what Dubya would have you believe, this is not a dictatorial monarchy. Also fortunate is the fact that you will probably never become President/King/Fuhrer, so we won't have to worry. Now go back home and play with your dolls.
In his defense, retarded, inconsistent logic is common in presidents. We've had everything from "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" to "WMDs! Oops, I mean oil! No, wait, I mean dictators are bad! Not that either? Uh...9/11! God Bless America! Yeah!" It takes an extra special level of being a dipshit to run a country, you know.
And that is exactly why your not president.
Seriously, who would elect a fundie? O, that's right. Other Fundies.
You couldn't ban abortion simply by edict. Even if you had a friendly Congress to pass a law for you to sign, it would be ruled unconstitutional. Whether you like Roe v. Wade or not, precedent carries a heavy weight in future judicial decicions.
"If I were President the first thing that I would do is outlaw abortion. Secondly, I would promote the use of the death penalty."
Fundie hypocrisy in a nutshell. 'Protect the Unborn Child!', but once the umbilical's cut, all bets are off.
The likes of you, Marksman, are the case for abortion.
Retroactively.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
