It was a classic one-party state entry into war, which is why Americans always run around in circles. If they "punish" the Republicans by putting the Democrats in power, they get GOP Lite. If they "punish" the Democrats by putting the Republicans in power they get Democrat Lite. No real opposition makes meaningful changes and reforms impossible. |

Only too painfully true–there is no real opposition. Considering the mess which Bush and the Republicans have made of things, I rather expect to see a Democrat-controlled Congress emerge next year–in other words, it was from Tweedledum to Tweedledee in 1994, and possibly now from Tweedledee back to Tweedledum in 2006.
Our people are so–what is the word? conditioned, brainwashed, programmed–into voting either Democratic or Republican, plus the dominance of the media, that it’s almost impossible for a serious contender to gain enough public notice, to say nothing of the financial resources, to mount a serious challenge. In addition, if anyone told the plain, unvarnished truth about what ails America, he would be chewed up in the gutter by the attack dogs of the establishment.
What constantly amazes me also is how men in the field of anthropology (or social science) like J. Philippe Rushton, Kevin MacDonald, Charles Murray, Edward Miller, Richard Lynn, Glayde Whitney, etc., who are (or were) really men of science and not politically-correct hacks, are constantly reviled and attacked as Nazis, KKKrs, racists, or what have you.
In today’s world, it isn’t absolutely necessary to be crazy, but you could better adjust to it if you were.
