2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumThis country is so screwed!
Our form of government is supposed to be a..... representative, democratic, constitutionally limited, republic....... but all four are a joke. Any one who says the Pledge of Allegiance should be snickering when they do.
Our millionaire representatives are in the pocket of lobbyists.
Our democratic votes are being flipped by Diebold and Tagg Romney's machines and GOP governors through gerrymandering and voter suppression.
Our constitutionally limited oversight is in the hands of some very arrogant (Scalia), ignorant (Thomas), petulant (Alito) justices.
And our republic, for which it stands, which is intended to eliminate a monarchy has been replaced with the Kingdom of Corporations and Big Banks.
More citizens believe in angels, creationism, prayer and religious myths then can explain gravity or atoms or low pressure fronts or how old the earth is.
Yes, we are surrounded by morons who keep electing thieves!
The only answer is to become one of them, by taking the MinusIQ pill. Cornelius will explain:
Yes indeed. We are all screwed!

this may be the answer to keep from doing this: . Sometimes, living amongst The Stupid and knowing how many of them are voting is truly frustrating.

Its true...I really started to get active and engaged politically about 1998-99. I was FAR happier back then, when I simply went about my business and ignored the information available about what was happening an being done.
