I could not agree with you more. Everything you said in your latest post...could have come from my very lips...fingers...
You may find this interesting...Until January, 2004, I would have fought anybody who said anything against Bush and his administration...some on this forum can attest to my attitude. (ignorance is bliss, thus Bush was elected again.) I decided that I was going to vote this year (I am ashamed to say, first time), and therefore, I needed to know the issues.
After becoming a political junkie during the campaign...I find that everything that you say is true about our democracy...if we can call it that...
However, I am still an American...and of course, we are all proud, sometimes too self-assured, rude, etc. Comes from our background, the way we started this country, our forefathers, our power (be it used for good or bad) and the things that we have accomplished in our very short (according to other countries) life...
However, from what I have heard, seen, read...I can't really say that we have a democracy...Bush should never have been in office the first time, must less this time...The lies they told to get people to vote for them is mindbogging (that people would believe them) and disgusting...I can't stand this administration and cannot wait until this four year period is over with...However, rest assured...with their cockiness, etc. this administration is in for a lot of political scandals, corruption charges, etc...By the time they finally leave in four years...the Republican's are not going to be holding their heads as high now and with such self-assuredness...
However, kudo's to you...you hit the bulleye in all that you said and believe...
