How Best To Succinctly Describe What Is Wrong With America's Government.

It's an anachronistic inadequacy.

I meant to go short here. But that new line of mine comes from a post I made last night, on my FB wall. Where most of my output goes. I started off with the following observation:

Our government is too bespoke for a certain time and place. The late 18th early 19th century, for the slave economy of the victorious former Brit North American colonies. And here I add. Yes. They did set up a government that in theory, was capable of reform, to avoid the kinds of repetitive civil and other domestic wars, that plagued the British Islands for centuries. And less than 80 years in, the US had a major, ugly, bloody civil war of it's own.

And back then after the war, and ever since. The nation has failed to fix the shitty government, that was designed for a specific time and place, where slave owning and anti slave states could agree to a framework for a functioning national government. Which arguably yet functions. But in lots of ways, badly. And seems to, if not makes something close to another civil war inevitable? Could lead to a dictatorship. A mean, ugly and stupid, government led by a figurehead who sees all there is as believing to them. Like a nightmarish, cartoonish version of the monarchy the colonies rebelled against. Never mind, that by the time of the Hanoverian kings, the divine rights of kings was a thing of the past, in Britain, at least.

Je t'aime, Stephanie Cutter.

Stephanie Cutter does not play  that shit.


Speaking to a group of supporters in Virginia on Tuesday, Vice President Joe Biden said that Republicans “want to put ya’ll back in chains.” Mitt Romney‘s campaign responded with outrage and said that the Vice President’s comments “are not acceptable in our political discourse.”

Je t'aime, Stephanie Cutter. And it really does is has been annoying me, lately, how so many of the so called liberal mainstream media are willing to play the word-parse-bait-game. So I really love Stephaine for, and politely yet firmly, saying she wasn't going to play that. BTW Joe Biden and she are correct. We don't want to "unchain" Wall Street. Those greedy plutocrat pukes almost killed the whole world.

Trusting the Wall Street Plutocrats to never do that ever again makes as much sense as trusting a promise from a pathological liar, borderline psychotic meth head, that she won't steal from you, manipulate you, lie to you, and have sex with street trash for a dime bag. Ever again. And she really means it this time!

I really don't think Willard trusts the plutocrats any more than a street corner ho-junkie. He doesn't have to. I't not his money they will be stealing. After all. His money is offshore.
