Seriously, do half of you people ever go back and read what you've just written with any semblance of self-criticism? I doubt it, because if you did you would see yourselves for the pompous, hopelessly uninformed assholes you truly are.
If you are going to make a stand on something, make it a good stand for christ's sake. Make an argument based on intelligent thoughts rather than ass-backwards connections about who was elected and how our country isn't really a democracy and how you're so smart because you can point out the technical differences between some word phrases and you think that completely invalidates anything anyone has said ever. That's like saying "hey did you eat food last night? You know, Adolf Hitler and Doctor Mengle ate food too, you're probably just like them". Come the hell off it. Make a good argument or shut your face.
Your confidence in honest government is astounding. Power is a privilege, and very few who have power acknowledge this fact. Welcome to real life, we are like lambs to the slaughter, fat and plump full of media. In history class we learn of past rulers, kings, emperors of other nations and empires, who lust for land, power, military conquest, subjects, and riches. But in American history we learn of the struggle for freedom, the righteous ways of our forefathers, the noble deeds of our past presidents. It's all propaganda to build nationalism and patriotism. It's all a point of view and you're staring through the tunnel the media gave you. Wake up to the real world where nothing is as it seems and you can't believe a word anyone says. If you have confidence in government to protect your interests and well-being, I pity you.
