well they won't know their politics unless that information is gathered and tabulated by homeland security. maybe we can have some sort of national id barcode tattoo system to determine proper firefighter coverage based on if you paid for your firefighter coverage or not.
Actually it would be easier to just set up a government program funded to have arsons burn down the houses of all registered republicans and take all the guessing out of the equation for the firefighters. The land could then be confiscated and auctioned to pay for government health care, needles for heroin addicts, porn in libraries, and, well all kinds of great stuff!
