Well, I'm not exactly "fringe left", but I'll bite a bit anyway.
1) President Bush and VP Cheney tried and imprisioned.
I think there's reasonable evidence that war crimes have been committed under Bush's watch. Torture of the kind that America has pledged not to commit internationally, invasion of a sovereign nation, et cetera.
Had a smaller country attempted to invade a sovereign nation the way America did, the world and/or America itself would have stopped them. Think about how the first Gulf War started--Saddam invaded Kuwait.
A) All dissenting conservative opinions squelched?
I'm honestly not sure what to call a "dissenting Conservative" these days. What does that mean, exactly? To be completely honest, modern day Republicans are so far from true Conservative ideals that I'm not comfortable calling them Conservative anymore.
B) Replace the free market, capitalist economic system?
Er... clearly this needs to happen. You do realize that free market Capitalism has quite literally failed, right? The moment Bush passed the first stimulus package was the death knell for "free market Capitalism".
I predict that we'll be moving towards a blend of Capitalism and Socialism now because it seems that both pure Socialism and pure Capitalism are incapable of sustaining themselves, especially thanks to globalization.
And perhaps a wiser question would be, what do we do about globalization at this point? It seems to me that globalization hasn't turned out to be the smartest idea since wheat bread.
C) Stop all fossil fuel energy useage?
Clearly this needs to happen. Let's see, what are the benefits? A couple:
Drastic reductions in carbon emissions, which we know for a fact are causing the planet's overall temperature to rise and leading to an environmental catastrophe.
No more reliance on the Middle East (or Russia). In fact, without the need for fossil fuels, the Middle East basically loses relevance. No longer is stability in the Middle East meaningful to countries who no longer need fossil fuels. Funding for terroism by Middle Eastern groups that are ultimately funded by fossil fuel sales dries up. A far superior way to fight "terrorism" than trying to walk up to every terrorist on earth and shoot him in the head.
D) Nationalization of the Banking and Health Care systems?
What's the alternative?
Banking: The banks have already failed. They're already basically nationalized now that the government is handing them fat loans to keep them alive. But that's a band-aid over a broken leg. My guess is that we will see a nationalized bank in the near future. I'm not sure it's the best solution--my feeling is that the government isn't the best group to be running our banks--but I do see that happening because it's evident the independent banks have royally screwed up and until they completely change their approaches to lending and debt, they'll never recover.
Health Care: What health care? America's health care is abysmal as it is. If you've ever lived in a country with good public health care, you'd be in favor of it. For me it's not even about the monetary cost of the health care to me. It's about the standard of care. America's standard of care is ridiculously low because the health care providers can get away with it. Provide a base-line through public health care and let those who can afford it buy premium health care. Also, put an end to this "prior condition" bullshit. Someone is born with a medical condition and the current system says, "Sorry, we won't support you because you were like that out of the womb." That hurts society as a whole by preventing a huge number of people from being able to be as productive as they can be.
Seriously I would like to know the top 5 things that you all want to see happen. And if possible why they would be good for people. I am a conservative woman from a very red State but I don't ask this is a negative way...I am curious. It honestly frightens me that we all seem to have a such a huge divide in this country. I would like to be able to understand...if not agree... at least comprehend.
That's a tough thing to rank. Some things that come to mind are education reform, fixing inner cities, farm aid, environmental reform, economic reform, health care reform, ending these needless foreign wars... I mean, there's a lot that needs to be done. What can I say? I see America in shambles right now. It's going to take a lot to fix it.
