The Democrat Party

It won’t mean to. Everything it does, it does for you and in your name, and you’re the little guy.

It is the party, for the most part, of the single-issue voter. That issue might be abortion, wealth redistribution, the Environment, war, the poor, homosexuality, your job, your investment firm, or any one of a number of causes. A single-issue voter is never going to get what they want unless they pull a Faust, I’ll vote, without question for your issue, if in return, I get the quid pro quo on my issue. You see where this leads, the fallacy of False Expert as each special interest group is simply allowed to make laws to benefit them.

The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws." - Cornelius Tacitus

It's a Culture of Corruption

The biggest problem is that it doesn't stop in Congress, take Science (or Medicine, or even Big Banking) for example and its Balkanization and Treasury teat research...
 
That's why I invest in the the Lottery. I'm due to hit it pretty soon too.

Just don't be like the guy last week who won and then dropped dead...





You at least want to die in the bed of your first mistress and leave a nasty contested fight over the ticket so that the deserving and ruthless inheret the proceeds.

Or! that second wife in Vegas...

You can throw the 'country club' republicans in that stew as well.

OH! Hey pot, is it tea time already?

exactly. Look where our arrogance got us. Trouble with the US is you are too arrogant to even conceptualise the possibility that you could fall just as hard and just as devastatingly as the British Empire did. Or the Soviet empire, or any other for that matter.

*Wonders who the hell she's talking to*

It is without a doubt that we will follow that path if we follow those policies.

I think you're preaching to the wrong crowd.

*wonders at his total lack of comprehension and understanding of historical discourse. Further wonders if her new years eve clearing of ignore list was entirely wise given the exponential piles of drivel she has to sort through.*

Yeah, when Obama says that he's going to take down the rich to elevate the poor he's not talking Micro-brewery...





NO ONE IS RICHER THAN THE US! 'Till now...

Then put me back on. :)

I have no desire to follow in the footsteps of those late Empires. It's the Obama followers that seem to like that path. Soooo, go talk to them.

No, YOU put ME back on!

The US is already on the path and has been for a long time. I'd be surprised if Empire America lasts another 50 years.

If we don't change our path, you're right. See, we agree.

The only difference that I can see is that you seem to be looking forward to it, I'm not.

I'm not looking forward to it. America falling will have disastrous consequences for the UK.

You agree that you have been on the wrong path for so long? Well maybe you can actually take a new path now. Obama may just be your saviour!
