warpped665 i'm sorry i made you cry
From 2000 until just recently almost every aspect of the government has been under Republican influence. Just in case you missed 8th grade gov I'll break this down a bit for you. Since the year 2000 we've had a Republican administration in the White House (executive branch), a Republican majority in the Supreme Court (judicial branch), and a Republican majority in Congress (legislative branch). Maybe the constraints applied to your perception of government still allow the fundamental concept of checks and balances to maintain its integrity under such a scenario, but the unvarnished truth is that the United States of America has been marching to the tune of that grand, sweaty elephant for the majority of this DECADE.
And maybe once again you're just not informed on this topic, but our government is not constructed in such a way that legislation can be passed by one body but not scrutinized, amended, and oh fuck even repealed!! by another. Every fundamental freedom, every law, every tax code etc. etc. is subject to change in new and erotic ways BY whoever happens to be in power at the time or WITH enough support from members of congress and their respective constituents (i.e. you and I).
But yes, warpped, I fully agree: politics is a dangerous, volatile endeavor that one shouldn't consider discussing in a public forum without...I dunno, possessing a BACKBONE first. I'm sorry my two posts apparently obliterated your thirst for knowledge in the political arena, but then again arguments between two people wearing their big-boy pants generally don't result in one member weeping gently while staring up at the stars, alone and cold. My advice? Don't take everything so seriously and do a bit of personal research concerning how these things work before unceremoniously regurgitating some senseless idea that probably originated within the dark recesses of Bill O' Reilly's puckered anus.
