Perhaps Obama won the nomination because people found things they liked and respected about him, much as they do for any other candidate.

The system is not the problem, the ploiticians are?? LOLOLOL
So Iran is not the problem, the people are?

Our "system " is so incestuously linked to the "politicians" that are involved in it I find it laughable to separate the two, they are in fact one...always have been.

"will NEVER EVER ACCEPT SOCIALISM AS A SUB FOR A FREE MARKET CAPITALISTIC SOCIETY AS WE HAVE."??????????? These lables dont fit anymore! Lets move foward in an honest no BS fashion.


Times change, systems evolve, terminology that refers to them changes. There are NO absolutes, no unchanging constants as much as we might like to wish sometimes.

We are where we are as a society right at this moment and all the kicking, screaming, and twisting of the facts or longing for times past wont change that. We have to be honest..without rhetoric (wow...theres a concept) about exactly what we have, how we are going to deal with it, and listen to what the majority wants...all while still voicing intelligent and informed opinion to help us get where we need to be. Painting people with old worn out brushes in ill informed ways benefits no one in the end.
