As long as we allow ourselves to be like sheep to the slaughter, our country will continue to go down the drain. I think the farther we get from the constitution the worst off we will be. the courts play a major role and contribute to this as well.

From the very beginning we have had two major factions in our country. The right who was started by Alexander Hamilton and the left started by Thomas Jefferson. Hamiltonians became Federalists, then Whigs and now are known as Republicans. The Jeffersonians were once called Republicans and then Democratic-Repbulicans and now just Democratic. The Hamiltonian faction has totally fallen apart twice in history where the Jeffersonians, despite name changes have modified their party to fit the times but have been largely in tact.
Hamiltonians favor a strong federal government while Jeffersonians prefer government be stronger at the local level.
Hamiltonians have a stronger foreign policy while Jeffersonians have a stronger domestic policy.
Hamiltonians favor big business and the wealthy whild Jeffersonians favor the working person and the small farmer.
Hamiltonians tend to want to spend now and borrow so as it is paid for later where Jeffersonians want to pay as you go. Sometimes referred to as tax and spend.
Hamiltonians would prefer to remove all minerals or trees from a piece of land and move on where Jeffersonians prefer to take minerals and trees but plant new growth for the future.
While most people will identify with one or the other of these two general philosophies few are 100% for the entire package. People tend to say I side with one or the other because they agree with most of that side's tenets.

you're a democrat with some Republican inclinations. you assert you have faith interior the ten commandments and Jesus yet you assert murdering unborn infants for convience is nice. The Bible says infants are a contemporary from God. Now that's it are they an inconvience that could desire to be murdered or a contemporary that could desire to be recieved? Jesus stated which you greater effective be careful the form you handle infants. How can war continually be incorrect? Does a united states of america no longer have the perfect to safeguard itself? in case you have been in value, united statesa. would not exist. Do you think of that even people who refuse to artwork could desire to have Healt Care? What provides them the perfect to leech off me instead of working?

yup, our country will always split it two and even more groups. the thing about the UN is the USA tends to be bias in defending one country it forgets about the other. thats why other countries dont really like whats going on. we're not pushing towards globalism and tyranny, heck the government has already reached that point and is pushing much further.

We are actually split in 4. There are @sshole, power hungry, democrats and republicans, then there are your average 'fighting for what they think is right' citizens... both democrat and republican. Unfortunately if the 'fight for whats right' people want to get anywhere they have to back their lobbying, power loving, friends.

I keep hoping the American people will help me make the Democrats go away before we have a socialist state.

We need to make it easier for third parties to get on the ballot. It just takes too much money.
We also need to term limit to prevent these political careerists.

The US is a great empire. There is no reason we shouldn't push for world domination.

No. Eventually we will have a revolution and neither of these corporate stooges will have any say.
