When you disagreed and spoke out against "The Party", you needed to be rehabilitated to become "Politically Correct" or go to the Gulag.... It's really fantastic! Isn't it? hxtr 1 Awards

If you think things are "In Check" here, then I have a bridge in New York For Sale... They aren't perfect Sparty, but Obama constantly whining that he can't get anything done because of the Republicans in congress is what I mean by "in check". If the dems controlled the house and senate, damn near everything Obama thinks of would be law, so in that respect things are still working somewhat as they should be. The day Obama stops whining is when we should all be very afraid. Awards

Granted, the current administration has put us closer to it than any before, but we still have 2 political parties that keep things in check regardless of how dysfunctional things look to the rest of the world. When a single political party gains control of all branches of government and the other party has no hope of regaining power, then what you describe will be much more likely. I don't think we are that far away LOM. Disasters have a way of changing things. Look at all the rights we gave away after 911. I don't feel very patriotic for allowing that and I for sure don't feel any safer. From what I have seen over the years... we only have one party. Spartacus 1
