Jack Kevorkian Running for Congress
Posted by Dave Blount at March 12, 2008 4:07 PM
Jack Kevorkian, aka Dr. Death, is running for Congress in suburban Detroit. From a speech last January at the University of Florida, here are some samples of the remarkable philosophy that would guide Dr. Death's legislative decisions:
You think you're free? You've been duped. You swallowed public propaganda… We have never been a totally free country; despite all the propaganda you've heard [and] the brainwashing you've taken.
I have no respect for the law; none! Because it's corrupt… the law is our enemy. No law can create a crime. […] law is an enemy to rights […] disobeying the law is not a crime … it's just disobeying the law.
Kevorkian opines that America is
no different than Nazi Germany; they were aggressive too, [but] they were more honest about it. See, unfortunately for the Nazis, there was another power that could counteract them, the United States. Who can counteract us? America is like a bull in a china shop. There is no way to fight them. They can do what they want, lie, cheat and steal … and they do.
[…] Why are you hated in the rest of the world? Why? Because they know what you are, but you don't know[…] We're a fascist country you know… I'm not proud to be an American; I'm not proud to be a genocidal aggressor. America is wrong. We are a criminal country… we have a criminal group in Washington, [a] bunch of criminal dictators.
Having spent 8+ years in the slammer for indulging in his hobby of assisting suicides, Dr. Death says he would focus on prison reform. Commentary from Holy Coast.com:
Kevorkian would be perfect for a political job in Michigan. The Democrats have driven the economy to death's door, and now Kevorkian can put it out of its misery.
Dr. Death's independent candidacy might actually benefit the country — if it draws enough votes from Democrats to keep them from taking the seat.
If elected, he can sit next to Dennis Kucinich.
