We are not an oligarchy. Mjolinr only bases his opinions on biased, baseless, anti-American propaganda, as well as his own imagination. Don’t do the same.
I agree that we are not yet. But we do seem to be headed that way. I was merely giving him the term for it;)
Yes, I’m sure you’ve studied in detail ALL that I’ve studied. Not. By your own admission. So you’re not sure what is propaganda and what is not. And before you go there, yes, I do follow the mainstream media’s reports. All of them. Closely.
Unless you are familiar with it ALL you just don’t know. That’s just logical, scientific method. What you decide to believe (or myself and everyone else for that matter) does not have to coincide with REALITY. And no amount of ad hominem will alter the facts of the matter.
You seem to feel that all the GOP does is worthy, apparently. I find that system of belief rather puerile. Likewise, we have another large percentage of the nation that feels that whatever the Dems do is worthy. That, too, is puerile.
Those who don’t see that the “Right” and the “Left” are two horns on the same bull are shortsighted. The Great Game still plods on while one half cheers and the other sneers.
And, yes, you are living in a de facto Oligarchy. You are not consulted for anything related to Foreign Policy. You have lobbyist who have paid off the Congress. We have unlawful treaties signed and it takes states to realize that we were founded as a Republic which implies that each nation-state entered a Confederacy and the Gov’t agents represent the people. But I’m sure you sneer at the 10th Amendment Sovereignty claims of the 12 or more states.
Yes, this is just how Nazism made it’s inroads into Germany. And they didn’t notice the transition either.
