Study: US is an oligarchy, not a democracy

[Felch]

Yes.

This country went fascist 12.5 years ago - but it had been on the way since 1980.

1980 didn't change ****. You think this country was some promised land of democratic purity back during Tammany Hall or Jim Crow?

[AAAAAAAAH!]

The tea party was a popular grassroots reaction to conservative politicians going along with increasing taxes and spending as part of the usual business of Washington political machinery and lobbying.

Are you referring to relatively conservative Democrats when you say "conservative politicians" or have you lost you mind?

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

You fled Texas, when are you fleeing America?

Duly noted that ever since I called you on your Ft. Hood hate speech -and you were proven wrong, you rank, ugly, unvarished bigot, and weren't man enough to own up and apologize- you have proven incapable of even attempting rational argument, because you took a political observation personally, your aspie baby-fit is still in progress, and only schoolyard name-calling will satisfy your butthurt. We are several trolling personal insults beyond you ever getting a second chance, ObiWhine Kan'twinni. You done failed your hundredth audition, and I'm done being civil.

Well. Having to deal with the socially-retarded w/ room-temperature intellects is the price of being born. A wonderful thing about the Great Nation of Texas (because you are stupid, I pause to explain that that's sarcasm) is that there's no escaping that particular brand of inbred, unreflected will-never-understand-American-freedoms babbling. Some people are too stupid to know that they are stupid, and (you'll never understand this, because, like the other fascists, you can't wrap your shriveled head around freedom and tolerance) we simply have to put up with them, like the retarded step-cousin at the Christmas table.

It's the price of freedom, not that you understand, being too busy engaging in talk that should have embarrassed the disgraced McCarthyites 60 years ago, had they any shame. Do you know how much contempt I hold you in, you confused hater-in-the-name-of-the prince-of-peace, you sad perverting-love-into-hate dupe of Satan? Watch this.



Oerdin, I apologize for lying and claiming Ben was more mature than you. That was uncool of me and beyond the pale, even for a troll. I owe you a favor. Sorry.

[Dinner]

Ahh, that's the nicest thing you ever said to me. I think you're starting to warm up to me.

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

Jeeze, Oerdin, don't start. It's not like you're more mature than Kid or anything.

[Kidlicious]

It doesn't matter to me who has the power, as long as I have my rights.

[Imran Siddiqui]

The dude is like Bettlejuice!

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

He's like Biggie Smalls - say his name three times and he'll bust a cap in you.

grassroots reaction

funded by billionaire toilet paper moguls

Nice try.

[PLATO]

Power to the people. Support State's Rights.

[Sava]

Yes, because making government corruption into an "a la carte" service will solve everything.

[C0ckney]

i think the OP certainly has a point. however the same could be said of most countries, even most western countries.

[pchang]

It's about time you started to bow down to us.

[PLATO]

Yes, because making government corruption into an "a la carte" service will solve everything.

And you think that corruption at the State level would be more than at the federal level? I have more faith in the people to police their politicians at a local level than I do at a federal level. This isn't the 1800's anymore.

[Sava]

This isn't the 1800's anymore.

No, but it sounds like you are desperately trying to send us back there.

Decentralization just makes corruption cheaper and easier.

You know what is easier to control than 300 million voters? 5 or 10 or 20 million voters.
