Americans are idiots!

look, it's like this. We have 300 million people in this country. Now if the average American is a blythering Idiot like Dixie, then by definition the other half of America are blythering idiots dumber then Dixie.

So though it may certainly be a burden to manage our political process when morons like Dixie and his minions have the franchise at least were not stuck with Prince Charles! ;)

Unfortunately, many folks think like Joe Republican.

Joe gets up at 6 a.m. and fills his coffeepot with water to prepare his morning coffee. The water is clean and good because some tree-hugging liberal fought for minimum water-quality standards. With his first swallow of water, he takes his daily medication. His medications are safe to take because some stupid commie liberal fought to ensure their safety and that they work as advertised.

All but $10 of his medications are paid for by his employer's medical plan because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance - now Joe gets it too.

He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs. Joe's bacon is safe to eat because some girly-man liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry.

In the morning shower, Joe reaches for his shampoo. His bottle is properly labeled with each ingredient and its amount in the total contents because some crybaby liberal fought for his right to know what he was putting on his body and how much it contained.

Joe dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air he breathes is clean because some environmentalist wacko liberal fought for the laws to stop industries from polluting our air.

He walks on the government-provided sidewalk to subway station for his government-subsidized ride to work. It saves him considerable money in parking and transportation fees because some fancy-pants liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a contributor.

Joe begins his work day. He has a good job with excellent pay, medical benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some lazy liberal union members fought and died for these working standards. Joe's employer pays these standards because Joe's employer doesn't want his employees to call the union.

If Joe is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed, he'll get a worker compensation or unemployment check because some stupid liberal didn't think he should lose his home because of his temporary misfortune.

It is noon time and Joe needs to make a bank deposit so he can pay some bills. Joe's deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because some godless liberal wanted to protect Joe's money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the Great Depression.

Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae-underwritten mortgage and his below-market federal student loan because some elitist liberal decided that Joe and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his lifetime. Joe also forgets that his in addition to his federally subsidized student loans, he attended a state funded university.

Joe is home from work. He plans to visit his father this evening at his farm home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive. His car is among the safest in the world because some America-hating liberal fought for car safety standards to go along with the tax-payer funded roads.

He arrives at his boyhood home. His was the third generation to live in the house financed by Farmers' Home Administration because bankers didn't want to make rural loans.

The house didn't have electricity until some big-government liberal stuck his nose where it didn't belong and demanded rural electrification.

He is happy to see his father, who is now retired. His father lives on Social Security and a union pension because some wine-drinking, cheese-eating liberal made sure he could take care of himself so Joe wouldn't have to.

Joe gets back in his car for the ride home, and turns on a radio talk show. The radio host keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. He doesn't mention that the beloved Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit Joe enjoys throughout his day.

Joe agrees: "We don't need those big-government liberals ruining our lives! After all, I'm a self-made man who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like I have."
 
to hate your government when its run by the people is to hate yourself.

Why does the right hate its self?

But our democracy is a sham. Our government is run by elitist monied interests.

It's fine to hate them and their internationalist fascist agenda. They are not us.
 
Fuck you, we still hold elections and as soon as we have teh guts to we can shut out the non human control of the money flow into the system.

Electing republicans who HATE the government will NOT help.

Explain please - to a poor non-yank. Are your unions part of the republican camp? When you say 'take' do you mean that the unions are forced, against their will, to give money to the Democrats? Do bands of Democrats creep, under cover of darkness, stethoscopes in hand, to break into union offices, open their safes and steal the money? If so I am sure you will get enormous support. If you had your way would there even be an unemployment office?
Getting very confused by your logic.

It is hypocritical as hell. He doesn't have a problem with billionares and corporations dumping money into our political process but when populist organizations like unions do, well that's a horse of a different color. God forbid they should be allowed to.

Porgressives and reformers have always been a strong part of the American political system. Even in the present when it looks like such a large part of white male America has bought into right wing identity politics. After 8 years of right wing catastrophe the people chose to make several major progressive reforms in reforming both our health care and financial systems.

Progressive reforms are always opposed by those in power who have a vested financial interest in the status quo and they show no hesitation in using their economic resources to protect that status quo politically and I have no problem with that, it's their dime but to criticize other political groups for doing the same thing to protect the interest of their constituency is the height of hypocrisy.
