Some of our most effective presidents (Eisenhower, FDR, Teddy Roosevelt, Abe Lincoln) won the office with little of no experience serving in the US Congress. They were leaders, public servants, and independent thinkers, not shills for corporate America, CEO's, and multi-millionaires. The current corruption in Congress has left few if any Representatives or Senators untarnished. Virtually all of them--from both parties--have taken big money from big money.
Surely there is someone out there in one of the states who can unify our country, speak for the common person (not just the wealthy and powerful), regain the respect of our allies, elicit bipartisan effort to face critical issues, and maintain independence from the inner sanctum of the corporate USA.
What do you think?

My husband and I got a Sears and Roebuck charge account. We made payments for a long time then hit a long line of financial unrest. I have not paid on this account in a VERY long time.(The debt is from 2000) I just had a creditor call and tell me that a lein can be put on my house for failure to pay or wage garnishment. In the past we considered filing bankruptcy but the attorney encouraged us not to because in texas they can only harass you about the debt, they can not legally do anything about it. Has the law changed in the last few years?

There are many facets to being a true fascist. The possessed a certain economic philosophy. The believe that the state was of utmost importance as opposed to the individual, who had no rights which were in defiance to the will of the state. The were politically arrogant and allowed noone to dissent with them. Those who did faced violence or death. They held the man subservient to the dictator in esteem - no glory was higher than service to the state.
Do you think that we throw the term around so much as to minimize and neutralize its true meaning?

Is the statement true, "one fascist for another". I just can't understand why they would rather blame America for everything instead of standing up to the enemy.

I actually know the answer to this already, but I'm asking to make a point. The point is to show that common perception is often wrong and even though people think they know the answer and truth, they don't.
