Democracy is buying a big house you can't afford with money you don't have to impress people you wish were dead.
Democracy, unlike communism, does not mean having just one ineffective political party; it means having two ineffective political parties.
Democracy is welcoming people from other lands, and giving them something to hold onto -- usually a mop or a leaf blower.
Democracy means that, with proper timing and scrupulous bookkeeping, anyone can die owing the government a huge amount of money.
Democracy means free television, not good television, but free. ...
And finally, democracy is the eagle on the back of a dollar bill, with 13 arrows in one claw, 13 leaves on a branch, 13 tail feathers, and 13 stars over its head -- this signifies that when the white man came to this country, it was bad luck for the Indians, bad luck for the trees, bad luck for the wildlife, and lights out for the American eagle. -- Johnny Carson

The radical of one century is the conservative of the next. The radical invents the views. When he has worn them out the conservative adopts them.

Brought to you from your friendly neighborhood communist....
Do you consider Johnny Carson a Communist? I certainly do not.
If you were refering to me, I'm as far away from a Communist as it gets. I'm all for a free market and deregulation.
BTW, I didn't post in political subforum because it isn't about politics, it's a joke as told by Johnny Carson when he hosted Late Night.

I think that anyone with alot of American pride right now needs to take off the rose colored glasses. People who grow up in the us are so trained to think we are the best, but no one ever stops to think just how much we a screwing up the world around us lol.
Sux about the rep silverdevil; I found it perfectly appropriate and 100% true.
^Exactly, what classifies us as the best now? Military power? That's a good way to say you're the best. "We're better than all of you because we can kick your ass." Sounds like a little kid, right? GDP? A lot of other developed countries are a lot smaller than us both in population and geographic size. You can't really compare them without making an even scale of some kind. There are a lot of other reasons Americans say they are better, but I just don't see it. We're not worse than any country, but I think we're on the same level with Japan, UK, and a few other countries, and others are tied for a close second.

The way the USA interacts with the rest of the world is extremly poor. I can't see how one would disagree with that at least.
well if you don't think the US invasion of iraq has been very poor, then I am not going to argue. We would be way too far apart in opinion to argue lol
