We have found ourselves with an administration full of militaristic thugs and religious zealots. One that orders the death of thousands of innocents and has sought to throw it's own country into a violent, death spiral. And it's Poor fiscal decisions have ravaged a once mighty economy. Speaking nothing of the questionable legality of his actual election, what can legislators do to stop such supremely immoral men from ever coming to power ever again? What steps can be taken to prevent this from happening to future generations? Perhaps a recall option as those in California have recently made use of would be a good first step? In short, this is a situation that threatens the future of democracy and one that must be firmly addressed.

Be careful what you wish for. In such a climate everyone eventually becomes a victim. If such a thing happens, you won't be able to come to a internet forum and whine about it either.A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.

Please don't use orgy and blood-soaked violence in the same sentence. It demeans an otherwise pleasurable experience.Which side are we on? We're on the side of the demons, Chief.

In short, this is a situation that threatens the future of democracy and one that must be firmly addressed.'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"

Another dumb Bush bashing thread. Sad. Sad. Sad."I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic. We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration." - Hillary Clinton, 2003

I disagree a lot with Bush and many of his actions, but I know I'd much rather be in a democracy like ours than any other alternative - cause they're all far worse.
That doesn't mean people won't make the wrong choice in democracies like ours, but I'd far rather have that choice there than have the "correct" one already made."I read a book twice as fast as anybody else.

So you're fine with democracy (or democratic republic) provided that all the decisions made are ones you agree with?
This is the point someone mentions that GW Bush wasn't elected.:P

Actually, there a lot of working varieties of democracies out there and many of them have superior and more equitable election system.Blog | Civ2 Scenario League | leo.petr at gmail.com
