Fools, your constitution is a shambles thanks to "national security" measures resulting from what might well be U.S. government sanctioned terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington D.C., provocations which were designed to justify a malevolent, poisonous, oil-based military economy.
How many of you give the slightest damn about the totalitarian measures your government is taking to keep its secret meetings, grubby files and treasonous activities from your eyes?
And you know all about these secret meetings, grubby files and treasonous activities that are hidden from the eyes of Americans -because you are a participant and it happens in front of YOUR eyes? LOL
Liberals have always taken the cake when it comes to paranoia -and it would be funny if it weren't just such a sad commentary on their critical thinking skills. But your problem Yukon is you want to pretend something that isn't even remotely true at all -is a fact. It is a fact that the US has one of the most transparent governments in the world where tightly held secrets are far and few between. Or do you just keep forgetting all those classified intelligence leaks that are so routine in this country? It is so many of those countries you liberals admire far more than the US -and also seem to think would all be joining hands and singing Kumbaya with the entire world were it not for the existence of the US -that operate under a cloak of secrecy and deception.
Is our system the one envisioned by our founders? No. Federal government is much, much larger and FAR more powerful than they ever intended. But do I still possess every Constitutionally guaranteed right I have had all my life? Yes -haven't lost a single one at ANY time in my life. Is the US a totalitarian system?
ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? Throwing that word out there only tells me you don't even know what one is -or understand where on the linear scale different political ideologies and thought fall.
First of all, let's get one term in particular straight. A conservative in this country applies only to this country - American conservatism has nothing to do with or anything in common with Iranian conservatism or Russian conservatism etc., so do not use the word "conservative" interchangeably with whatever is meant by "conservative" in other countries. A US conservative believes we should not significantly or radically deviate from the US Constitution as written -that is what makes them a conservative in the first place and the origin of the meaning of the word "conservative" when discussing US politics.
On either end of the linear scale are the political extremes. On the FAR right of political ideologies exists anarchy. Anarchy is a state of society without government or law and therefore no government control of any kind. On the FAR left exists totalitarianism -a state of society under the total authoritarian, autocratic government control which allows no political dissent and exercises dictatorial control over nearly every aspect of life. Communism lies just slightly to the right of totalitarianism. The US Constitution lies just slightly to the left of anarchy.
Try really, really hard to wrap your mind around this one, ok? If you think the US system of government has become a totalitarian system or becoming more of one in recent years - then it can only be due to those carrying out a far left liberal agenda. Not a US conservative political agenda because US conservatives believe in a SMALLER government with LESS control. A US conservative is the absolutely natural enemy of totalitarianism -and because communism is just shy of such a state, US conservatives are also the natural enemies of communism and its cousin, socialism.
You can figure this one out Yukon. Which political side in this country favors BIGGER government, an ever increasing nanny government, so admires socialism and/or communism they want to give it another whirl in this country and favor a government that has ever more regulatory powers? LIBERALS. YOUR side -not mine.
If you really think the US is a totalitarian country, then first of all you have a really deficient education because of all nations in the world, the US is one of the furthest from such a system even still. But if and when it becomes one, it will be ENTIRELY due to liberals. Not US conservatives who deplore and oppose having a government of that size and power to even be capable of becoming totalitarian in the first place!
