Finished!!
Outstanding, better than season 1.
You do have to get past the episode 2-1 "game changer" and just accept that this is not Aaron Sorkin West Wing, this is a modern day Richard III with all the great asides to the audience and Machiavellian evil plotting.
Kevin Spacey is brilliant -- the looks to the camera are priceless.
I read that some political insiders say the show is 99% true. I think the vindictiveness and deep strategy is true, but the level of criminal activity, God help us if that's true.
I've also noticed how a number of the actors play very flat, complacent, emotionless, intentionally blind to the fact they are pawns in a game -- almost as if the director said I want to you read the lines as a chess piece would, oblivious as to your part in the game, thinking your choice is your own.
IRVING KRISTOL: If you had asked any liberal in 1960, we are going to pass these laws, these laws, these laws, and these laws, mentioning all the laws that in fact were passed in the 1960s and 70s, would you say crime will go up, drug addiction will go up, illegitimacy will go up, or will they get down? Obviously, everyone would have said, they will get down. And everyone would have been wrong. Now, thats not something that the liberals have been able to face up to. Theyve had their reforms, and they have led to consequences that they did not expect and they dont know what to do about.

Finished!!
Taliban or Tea Party?
Ideological Purity.
Compromise as weakness.
Fundamentalist belief in scriptural literalism.
Denying science.
A need to control women's bodies.
Severe xenophobia.
Tribal mentality (us vs. them)
Finished!!

Those actors are portraying those with the Sheeple/Liberal malaise.
They do it very well.
They have no idea what the machinations happening around them, or to them, will result.
That is the essence of Liberalitis.
Unintended consequences and unforeseen results.
Oh, they have good intentions sometimes but they are only capable of limited rational reasoning ability.

Silt 3.0: Baby It's Cold Outside (first half)
Their curse.
And we have vowed to co-exist with them.
If they were left to their own devices history would have been absolutely brutal in revealing their ideology and approach and attitudes as failures.
Yet, because we are a united people, or we have been until...soon...we have kept them in line to some degree and kept us all successful as a nation.
But now they hope to declare their independence from a RW America.
Obama is replicating his revolutionary, rebel father's dream.
Where Senior rebelled against Britain so that Kenya could be free and on it's own to sink or swim by the efforts of and at the direction of Kenyans, Obama wants to break free of the Right Wing. But he wants to take the entire country from the RW so he and his ruling class anti-American cronies and contributors can set up a country according to HIS and his father's ideals.
There's a lesson for you.
I'm nursing this season. 1-2 episodes a day. I want to cherish and savor it.

We understand, Mo.
This is a thread about a TV drama.
There are plenty of other threads for discussing specific political issues.
I think you'd get more bang for your buck if you post in those threads, not this one.
