    The only failed idiology pertenant to this discussion is the Left's romance with Marxist doctrine. The US government taking over every aspect of your existence. If anything, Americans have opened their eyes to who this BO really is and don't like what they see. Overwhelmingly, the attitude now is the country is on the wrong track so we will see big changes in 2010...for sure. Some of yáll have lived within a Nanny State for so long you don't know any better...

    ^ He is scared, and likes to hide from the boogeyman of the day, as are most of his ilk. He is also scared that somebody is going to try to socialize his nazism or communise his fascism or some other ridiculous buzzphrase that will be today's talking point.

    Do yourself a favour and just ignore his flatulations into a political thread. He has no f*cking clue what he is talking about anyway and if he isn't spoon fed an opinion or a ludicrously simplistic or racist cartoon by some wingnut talking head he is completely lost.

    Well then, you've pretty much had the 'cement' injection so you really don't have a concept of life w/out government dictating / controling your every move. Freedom to fail if that's the case. Basically governmant intrusion in your life at every level. Read lately that in Norway you get to see your's and your neighbor's income tax returns published on the Web. Unreal. We're talking waaaay beyond George Orwell now or what?

    Some sage advice and pretty much as good a summary of Booners as you'll get.

    I don't think anyone other than likeminded wingnuts on here takes anything he has to say seriously anymore - because basically all he has to say is what he has been told to say, cut 'n pasted directly from some right-wing blog more often than not.

    I would suggest that European countries in general foster more of an environment of government and social critique . . . but what we have seen from the US recently has taken on a whole new level of self-loathing and a type of Schadenfreude.

    Sad to see.

    I guess that's what you get with what is essentially a two-party system. In an election the best you can do is to pick the lesser of two evils.

    Perhaps the US would benefit from having, say, a christian conservative party and a socialist party, so that the two major parties could be purged of their right-winged religious nutters and PC apologists, who probably represent a very small %age of the electorate anyway.
    Any error in tact, fact or spelling is purely due to transmissional errors...

    A very good idea, Whiteshiva, but not practical in the US under the current system.
