America, “To be or not to be…”
The retardant of nations?
America has always been a nation but never a functioning one. There is lots of talk of late conferring our country as dysfunctional and, in my opinion, something with prolong dysfunctional elements also has elements of retardation; benign or otherwise.
Further, something dysfunctional was at one time functional. When something has been labeled “dysfunctional” you make efforts to restore functionality when and wherever possible. One may ask was this country functional from its beginning killing the original inhabitants? Was there ever optimum functionality during its three hundred years of having human slaves? Was there functional rational going into the various wars we wholeheartedly embraced? One may ask is America being functional now with concerted efforts to deny all its citizen full health coverage?
I posit this country is not nor has it ever been a functioning nation and we have to learn to live with it the best we can.
I always say, “If you start off wrong, you end up wrong!” I say this due to the fact there is no positive back ground for America to pull upon. There is no “Good ol’ days” to model but alas, there is the constant “Carry me back to ol’ virginny” and “Oh, I wish I was in the land of Dixie” pervasive and dysfunctional mentality.
Many citizens of America and well wishers elsewhere do not want the fate of this country to continue the inevitable road to its demise but most of us know you can not change either background nor DNA. Where is this country’s “Role model” era? Many of us believe there never was one nor will there be one in the distant future. Authentic history combined with cold realities is a bitch! Sad.
Fighting for the dignity of my Ancestors,
God bless Bill Gates, WPFW, C-SPAN and the spirits of the unborn for the help,

Mr. President: The Republicans Want To Destroy You
by Turkana
Example:
Despite his attempts at bipartisan comity, the Republicans have undermined President Obama in every way they have deemed it possible. They spent half a year pretending to negotiate health care reform, and then, despite his compromising and capitulating in countless ways, they didn't give him a single vote. No matter his intentions, theirs remain singular and monomaniacal. They want his presidency destroyed. They want his agenda destroyed. And as they proved with President Clinton, if they consider it necessary in the pursuit of their aims, they won't hesitate to try to destroy President Obama, personally. That's who they are. If they weren't that despicable, they could not perpetually pursue their despicable agenda.

Excerpt:
One reason for this is because when the Republicans ran the Congress, they could usually count on peeling off a small, but usually sufficient bloc of Democratic votes for just about any idiotic thing they were trying to do at the time. I might guess that this was sufficient proof in some people's eyes that the converse was true, that one or two moderate Republicans could be enlisted to support the Democrats. Uh, no. Not the case. This was already evident back in February or March or wherever it was that the economic stimulus bill was passed. When I think back on it, the fact that the Republicans could usually get their four or five Democratic votes to give their dumbshit a thin veneer of bipartisanship should have clued me in that 60 votes wouldn't be enough to do jack squat. Anything likely to reach the floor would have to meet with the approval of the same handful of Democrats that enabled the Bush administration all these years. I'm sorry, but you can get somebody else to pay for that, because I have better things to spend my money on, thanks.
