Is this the left-wing fantasy?

*Islam is officially endorsed by Washington; all schools practice the Islamic call to prayer.
*Those who area able to work, but choose not to receive full financial support from the taxpayer. Let them eat steak and lobster!
*All children are forcibly indoctrinated in government-run schools.
*All criminals are allowed to walk the streets freely, even rapists and murderers, unless the criminal is a white male and the victim is a member of a protected class.
*Private industry is abolished. The government runs every sector of the economy.
*The border with Mexico is dissolved. All immigrants from any country in the world are welcomed with open arms, even criminals and those with communicable diseases.
*Black liberation theology is taught in schools as fact. White children are indoctrinated to hate themselves and their race.
*No one is allowed to own a firearm except members of the government and those who are politically connected.
*Everyone, male and female has to serve in the youth public works corps from age 18 to 22.
*The government's primary purpose is to protect us from ourselves and guarantee equality of outcome in every facet of life.
*All the commons, including drinking water are owned and operated by the government.
*Homosexuality is state-sanctioned and encouraged among children from birth and any opposition to homosexuality is punishable by death.
*Drilling for oil or natural gas and coal mining are impossible because all land is owned by the government.
*Rumors of weaponry or lack of democracy are good enough reason for another country to invade the U.S.

I will start with the conservative fantasy:

*Christian Sharia Law is the law of the land. You will be forced to bow down to Jesus and Jesus only.
* "Legitimate rape" will be legal.
* Abortion banned in all cases - even in case of rape and incest.
* No "minimum wage" policy - if your corporate master forces you to work for a dollar per house, better take the trickle down.
*Taxes will only be cut for the very wealthy. The poor are already too rich so have to make some sacrifices in the name of personal responsibility.
*More countries need to be invaded so that Christian Sharia law can be spread. Main targets are oil rich and muslim countries.
*Muslims need to be sent to guantanamo.
*Gays need to be sent to guantanamo.
*There should be no government except for a bloated military - rich people should be able to exert their power over the middle class and poor. The model is Somalia.
*No need for universities - just read the bible its got enough science and maths. Or watch the 500 club. Universities are "liberal indoctrination centers".
*Guns for everyone. Rocket launchers to be introduced in next couple of years. Newborn babies get gun "gifts" from the NRA.

A functional, rational, reasonably-priced cable TV package would be ~sigh~ so nice.

What do liberals really want?
For everyone else to be miserable, poor, defenseless, homeless, jobless, and starving. Yet they claim to be "for the people"

I'm pretty sure the left want total control over the populace and the poor to bow to them. The right wants total control given to our corporate masters and the corp masters want us bowing to them. In the end they both want to screw us. I just wonder who is going to buy more alcohol for the "party".

I want local business regulations to be relaxed enough to make it easy to start a business, while at the same time protecting people from fraud
I want a cultural revolution where our poor people value math and science education more than being able collect checks from the government
I want to stop subsidizing corporations who take dollars out of this country

Conservative fantasy is this:
-everyone is responsible for themselves
-everyone plans for their own retirement, families and local communities care for their elderly, -government is made as local as efficiency and feasibility will permit
-college education isn't the end all be all: trade schools where people train as electricians etc is considered as good as a college education
-taxes are levied to fund a federal government whose sole purpose is to protect your constitutional rights
-taxes are levied, voted on and controlled by local governments and THE PEOPLE of those localities to determine how much, or how little taxes and services they want
-budgets are balanced
-strong defense
-income equality is solved not by making the rich poorer, but by making the poor richer
