Hate to differ with you, but i will, all politicians are thugs of some kind. And both sides. They both play games, they both scheme, they both think they ideals are the best. What they both do not do, is think of us little guys first! And that is both sides, and take that to the bank?
While I have to agree with most of your post, one of the problems with many (not all) movements beyond the two-party system is that they are prone to exterme "solutions"; Franklin Roosevelt moved this nation significanly leftward, but had he failed, with the Republicans in deep disgrace, the door would have been wide-open for the populist likes of Huey Long and Father Coughlin. Parliamentary democracy was on the verge of disappearing entirely from this planet in the darkest days of the 1930's
I belong to the Libertarian Party; register as such mostly because it needs a minimum number of members to keep itself on the ballot under state law. But I often work closely with local Republicans. With the Democratic Party now clearly unter the stewardship of its leftmost wing, it's very seldom we can find common ground, given their near-total opposition to the free-market advocacy that lies at the center of my beliefs.
I'm sure that any number of people who hold to beliefs they view as "progressive" would hold similar reservations vs. the Republicans No problem, so long as the fight is fair and old scores aren't settled too heavily.
If your mindset is communistic (please note the small 'c') enough to capitalize the buzzwords "the people" .. you are a poster child for the problem.
Everyone's entitled to their opinion, but in my book (and that of a lot of people with a better understanding pf how an open economy works), you can't subscribe to that sort of drivel and play on anything close to the first team.
Perhaps you're the one who should move to France or some other loser-nation where your prejudices won't handicap you as much.
Or you can stay ... but I wouldn't trust your kind with any capital more sophisticated than a mop and broom.
So now if we use the phrase "the people" that means we're commie? Very interesting.
I agree with Mr. West. There are many countires where liberalism is worshipped, like in Europe or Asia. If you don't like America, Stop trying to push your ideas here and go to those countriys that agree with you and be happy there. Let America be.
Reality alert here, Barack Obama is the President of the United States, the ones trying to get him out are the ones who are trying to change America
Best example of socialism i can think of is a Monastery or Convent. Comunes, the Shakers and to some extent the Amish. Socialism left to its own devices has worked very well.
The only time socialist practices fail is when they are undermined by you wingnuts.
