    If you truly believe that what is written in your OP is a matter of fact through research, and not political hay, it is you who are brainwashed.

    It's not worth the effort to explain anything to you. Besides, I'm bored.

    Why? Ron Paul would do the trick, and he's younger.

    A Marcus Aurelius is what America needs now, not diplomats.

    America needs someone who cares about Americans and their country's constitution not an expansionist who answers to others.

    That certainly describes Marcus Aurelius and Rome.

    Two schools of thought exist running parallel with one another; one, Habermas's theoretical system of the possibility of reason and in the human capacity to deliberate and pursue rational interests [Constitutional liberalism].
    The other, Bourdieu's theoretical system argues that constitutional liberalism is a form of domination. The poor, pressed by the need to make a living, don't have the luxury of developing the social and intellectual skills needed to participate in political deliberation.

    Bourdieu's philosophy is inline with Karl Marx…Defeatism for the status quo. People should read both.

    "intellectual skills needed to participate in political deliberation."

    It is simply a matter of some folks thinking they have superior intellectual skills that allows them to justify their lording over the common man. That's when the common man goes off and starts bar-b-queing and eating the aristocracy. Those tender young intellectuals are quite tasty, I really must say. To bad there ain't enough of them to go around in the next revolution. Oh well, them Rockefellers are good and fat, Pass the Rockefeller and the salt. Oh my, Rothschilds pig knuckles... don't mind if I do. They taste so... intellectually delicious!

    While most and perhaps all the points illustrated in the commentary may be true, Our Country is not ruined and I don't forsee it being ruined in the near future.

    Despite our difficulties that we encounter, we still remain strong and on a good day, we still remain United.

    What saddens me, is that our ability to remain standing, in the face of so many difficulties, does not please some and they will twist and turn in so many directions to highlight what is perceived to be flaws.

    I simply will never understand those that wish such ill will.

    There never were enough aristocrats to satsify the mob . When they run out of aristocracy they feed on their own. The French Revolution ended in dictatorship as does most revolutions started on the populist house of cards .

    They had to keep going till they got the guy that invented the guillotine. It was all good. The French had a great time and some real tyrants met their demise.

    This is pure opinion.

    Just the same old whining and complaining. Nothing to back up his opinion. No solution[s] offered. Blame everyone and everything. How depressing.

    Anarchy begetting a dictator. Populism at it's best . You saw it in the French Revolution and in the Russian. What is really sad is that the same emotion almost destroyed the American Revolution in the 1890s .Thank God for the cool leadership of Washington.
