Oldie but a goodie... saw this around while I was away from Multiply earlier this year. Sorry if its a re-post. Yeah, of course it's edited so the producers used the best bits, and they're not ALL like that... are they?
We have a few of our own like these in Britain unfortunately, just fundamentalist religion hasn't infiltrated our political system to quite such an extent, at least not overtly. 'England's' relationship with the Roman Church is another thread... you could fill this group ten times over with that.
Citizens should be required to pass an exam before being allowed to vote?
Just an idea.
This is not America-bashing, religion-bashing, nor even an attempt to remind everyone Stateside why it might not be a great idea to vote for Glenn Beck should the opportunity arise; my sole purpose is to postulate that Church and State remain seperate.
I wish the parrots who think in terms of 'Lib' and 'Rep' would think laterally a little more and realise that the main options presented are both controlled by the same Machine. The identity of the President - and I'm only posting on US Politics at all because I'm that exasperated with how repetitive and narrow it all is, and I've only been back since mid-June - yes, the identity of the President, or which party, hardly matters anymore. The same private agenda continues regardless.
Calling any on the centre or 'right' of American politics who have a few more braincells than some of the people in this video? A little more intelligent dissent around here, often on issues that actually originate from beyond your great nation's shores... now that would be great!
I do hope such people exist. I'm told we are 'biased'. Not that we operate according to a dogma given to us by a supreme being we've never met, or anything, but I do try... can only counteract that criticism with YOUR help.
If you believe Church and State should not be seperate, pray tell?
