The road to hell is comfortably paved, slightly down hill and with no mile markers -- excellent for the sheeple.

Sound logic in your observation, but remember there is a ray of hope for the enlightened although the way is narrow. Remember dont throw your perals to swine lest they trample them turn and tear you asunder!

This is the same gulash that inspired the inception of the Soviet Union. If the populace doesn't like what's being done to them, they should vote out the crooks. Evidently people don't mind so much eh?

So, your response to any statement you disagree with is to eliminate it from existence. How about telling us why Charley here is wrong, instead of wishing the thread gets pulled?

Sponsman your opaque goggles are quite becoming!

Thanks for posting. The culture used to be democratic, but not anymore. Now all the cultural power is wielded by a handful of powerful moral-liberals in the media, the universities, and the entertainment industries, who have expropriated it. We can end the WOD overnight by arresting these 500 elitists who are making a buck off of the misery of others.

The surest way to out a complete loser is when they use the term "elite". Not only does it smack of a whining "loser in like's lottery" it also is right out of Das Capital

Nothing new here. Political scientists and Machiavelli knew all of this a long time ago.

However, the people do eventually have a great deal of influence. When they tire of the direction of the country they revolt. You can't keep stretching a rubber band, it ventually snaps.

This observation really isn't true because the elected officials are elected by the people and in so doing the people delegate their power to their elected representatives. If our representatives are corrupt and it is known to their constituents and they keep electing them then it means the people are just as corrupt. The election and re-election of clinton is a classic example. In the United States a continually and openly corrupt government is a reflection of the moral character of the people who elect them.

Businessmen used to pride themselves on their responsibility to the community in which they did business, but no more. They have all but renounced their moral leadership for short-term gain, but will end up paying for it in the long run. As an example, by not speaking out againt teenaged promiscuity, businesses will be forced to provide day care to their future workforce.

So the Free Republic has turned into a corrupt internet empire?
