I disagree with you. There may be some corruption but I doubt that it is nation wide or makes that great a difference. Perhaps both sides are corrupt and their corruption balances each other out. If the government swings too far to the right, wait a few years and it will swing to the left. If the government swings too far to the left, wait a few years and it will swing to the right. We had Carter. Then, for whatever reasons, people voted Reagan into office. Then we had Bush. Unfortunately, people didnt like Bush very well so he only served 1 term. Then Clinton was overwhelmingly voted into office and served two terms. Then Bush Junior won in a very close race. He was more confidently re-elected for a second term. If people thought that Bush should have lost the 2000 election, why didnt the Democrats get it together and vote him out in 2004? I guess that my main point is that we still have a republic. If there is enough outrage, the people will vote people out of office and vote different people into office.
As for William Joyces concern, he should get with others that feel likewise. It is supposedly bad for so many people in position of power to be Jews. If enough people feel the same way, religion will be a factor for people and the people will vote Jews out of office for the mere fact of them being Jews. If people are not so concerned, then it is too bad for William Joyce. That is the way that our representative democracy works.
The problem is that you feel that one can wait for the proverbial pendulum to swing back politically. One of these days the pendulum will cease to swing.
The actions of Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Clinton and especially George W. Bush have put in motion many laws that will slow and eventually stop that political pendulum from swinging. And that is when our society will become a closed society and freedom will be what they tell us it is and nothing more.
In other words we have become fat and lazy politically and our freedoms are in jeopardy from a cabal of wealthy investors who will use media propaganda to divide us and convince us that all of this is not only for our own good, but is the American way...which is the exact opposite.
Ask yourself, what would Washington, Franklin, Hamilton, or Jefferson have said about all of this shit?
Here is a hint; "Anyone who gives up a little freedom for a little security deserves neither." Benjamin Franklin.
