To some of our members here:
I have been cautioned for comments using inflamatory language, such as misspelling Democrat, bringing up facism, in respect to the avenues used to limit freedoms, etc.
I believe the point was that we have both parties, and more participating, and, to not use comments that would inflame, but to engage in a rational discussion of the situation.
"The United Socialist States of America"
is perhaps an example of that. Pointing out that 10 or more states have issued declarations of Soverignty would perhaps be a less inflamatory manner of bringing up that this IS a major issue and concern for the people of the United States.
I function in an industry that is being told how to do our job, teaching, and, that we must insure illegals will be able to read, perfectly, in some absurdly short period of time. It's called No Child Left Behind, and, it's a bunch of people in Congress writing goals without funding, telling states they must do something they cannot, and, doing it out of their authority under the Constitution.
Government, centralized government, that oversteps a
democracy, or republic, tends to fit under a number of names as it progresses. Being aware of the tendencies is good, and I find parallels to history a very effective way
of seeing the progress towards where other nations have ended up.
I would be cautious in blaming one party or the other.
The bill that allowed the formation of more centralized government, The Homeland Security Act, was a joint effort, both parties voting it in, and, a Republican president signing it, IIRC.
It is becoming quite clear that the elected officials we have in office, and both parties need to be reformed...
