Contray to popular belief I wan't "trolling" nor was I doing whatever Nostatus said I was interested in either...

I simply have gotten tire of Liberals bashing America...that we are soooo bad...If we are sooo bad what would U do to make make us sooo GOOD....

Well the political reality in the world is that the Liberals to make the BEAST work would be doing the same kind of ***** that they are complaining about...otherwise they would find themselves without a pot to pi$$ in....Mull came the closest the DEms aren't interested in making the US sooo Good but in having their snout back in the trough of the public treasury.

Now Pastys answers are great if your dealing in a unilateral world...but it ain't the case it takes two to tango..specifically with Free Trade and Tariffs...try and make the otherside play the game as U would like...that is what I would like to see.

If Patsy is right then the real decline in America started with LBJs GREAT SOCIETY...where nobody should be left behind/poor anymore in a country with such wealth...thats like trying to please everyone an impossibility that winds up pleasing no one...and in this case making everyone Broke..except for the very few... Leveling the field to accomadate everyone just doesn't work...

Patsy would argue FDR...FDR would be appalled by the system as we now know it...

Patsy would argue no govt...however there is a role for govt...one to act as a refree...to insure a more level playing field based upon rules..like having a Police Force to see that your Bank Accounts aren't looted with impunity...that the rules are adheard to...

The only way for the Repblic to survive is for the MONEY TO BE TAKEN OUT OF THE POLITICAL SYSTEM....Both sides of the political system are bought by the same people.

The move in the last 60 years has been to make everyone in the world a US citizen...thus the American Empire....brought to your local area by McDonalds, Coca Cola, Philip Morris and Disney...and Wally World I suppose...backed by a Super Carrier off your coast if you don't want to play the game by our rules.
