That's what you are not smart enough nor aware enough to understand...what the people want is the most important aspect of democracy.
I'm bright enough to get by; I'm certain I can keep pace with YOU.
It is YOU who does not understand that the Founding Fathers recognized that pure democracy can be subject to the emotional whims of the masses. As a result, we have the Senate and the Electoral College. The Founding Fathers had the good sense to buffer the running of the government from the current passions of the people. This is precisely the reason Clinton's presidency was such a failure; he didn't understand that you can't make good decisions when you're driven solely by the opinions of the masses. Look at the Don't Ask-Don't Tell fiasco as a great example of this.
Apparently, you don't understand much about our government.
You think Bush is a good leader cause he bombed Afghanistan to hell.
This is, of course, a lie. A review of my posts prior to 9/11/2001 will confirm the clarity of my perspective on Bush's leadership.
I am still waiting to hear your explanation for the list
Frankly, I thought you put that link up as a joke. It certainly isn't worthy of serious consideration. Of course, if you're a liberal and have no ammo against the conservatives, you might see that list as substantive (when all you've got is a hammer, everything starts looking like a nail).
Seriously, addressing the issues in your "list" would be giving credence to the notion that I think we ought to be involved in people's personal lives, which I don't. While I don't approve of adultery, I do believe people have the right to do as they please in their personal lives. For example, you've never heard me complain about Clinton's private sexual behavior. Only when he has abused his power, lied under oath, sexually assaulted or harrassed women, or committed rape have I spoken out against him -- these are basically violent crimes which should have resulted in his incarceration (sexual harrassment being the exception, which is a civil wrong).
If you want to think of something laughable, how about Dick Morris sucking toes.
That's laughable, too. He learned it from his client, Clinton. |
