this has got to be one of the best analysis' of america i've seen ni a while
What to do when the public no longer serves the interest of the State?
Replace the public.
Makes sense when our Congress gets reelected more than 90% of the time.
(ie through legal immigration, about 1 million/year, illegal immigration and subsequent amensty. you can bet that a higher majority than the existing slight majority will support an increase in the size of the state, and this will result in even more populism, to the point that it will become policy to tax one's self into prosperity) America had the good sense to reach a stable population, but that doesn't serve the government and the pyramid scheme of social security, medicare, benefits to government employees ad infinitum. how could any majority of government not be for the democratic party when they can so easily a: give themselves a raise, b: give themselves benefits, c: give themselves job security, and d: job security through ever expanding legislation and regulation
Makes sense when our Congress gets reelected more than 90% of the time.
the approximate ratio of government to private sector workers is roughly 50:50. only obama can unite us through change by eliminating capitalism. to me, this change simply means weaning capitalism from collectivism and giving them (capitalism) no where to go. i know this to be fact as all the financial institutions are hedging their bets as usual by donating heavily to obama and mccain. to me, this simply means they have no principles to stand on, just like the president of countrywide, who has given friends of countrywide below market rate loans to sitting democratic congressmen, even one's who ran for president. to me, this is just as sleazy as that dork abramoff, who slept with both repubs and democrats. neither party represents the people anymore. this is why i don't vote for either party. if i don't have a choice, i write in myself.
this country is the opposite of what used to be. just like we give habeus corpus to terrorists, but use foreign laws to govern US citizens. there really is no more america. another example, don't drill for oil and then sue the saudi's for not increasing supply. did i mention i can't stand either party?
obama nor mccain has ever made a payroll on income they generated themselves through entrepenuership on a scale necessary to notice how hard it is to start a business. i just can't fathom why america is reducing itself to rubble, mostly over issues that should be the domain of the states.

here's some more on obama
The Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) is legislation Obama has co-sponsored along with 18 other senators that would annihilate every single state law limiting or regulating abortion, including the federal ban on partial birth abortion.
The 2007 version of FOCA proposed: "It is the policy of the United States that every woman has the fundamental right to choose to bear a child, to terminate a pregnancy prior to fetal viability, or to terminate a pregnancy after fetal viability when necessary to protect the life or health of the woman."
Obama made his remarks in a question-and-answer session after delivering a speech crystallizing for abortion advocates his deep-seated abortion philosophy and his belief that federal legislation will break pro-life resistance and end the national debate on abortion. (see transcript: http://lauraetch.googlepages.com/barackobamabeforeplannedpar...)
"I am absolutely convinced that culture wars are so nineties; their days are growing dark, it is time to turn the page," Obama said in July. "We want a new day here in America. We're tired about arguing about the same ole' stuff. And I am convinced we can win that argument."
culture wars are so 90's. i guess that means change and that he doesn't do the changing. typical hypocrite. typical lack of comprimise. when he says he can unite the country (which it never has been, even during the revolutionary war and wwii, which FDR lied to the public about setting up a spy agency for britain and said we wouldn't get in the war), what obama really means is the elimination of the side of the debate that he doesn't agree with. typical. i thought they wanted diversity, but the only thing they want is homogeneity. be scared.
perhaps what obama should push for is the elimination of states rights. that's change isn't it?
