“Politics” is rotten … period.
The form of government the American people chose at their founding was unique. It still is. Many have sprung up around the globe in imitation of the American constitutional “representative” republic. None have yet hit the mark — though they have come close.
Ours is an imperfect form of government. It is a government “of,” “by,” and “for” the people. The key word, of course, is “people.” And therein lies the problem.
The American government was flawed from its beginning. It is a result of the human touch. It could not and cannot be helped. But it has worked miraculously well, for over two centuries.
From time to time, America has touched on destruction, even self-destruction. But, so far, we have managed to pull back, at the last moment, and survive to become a colossus astride the world.
There have been costs. There will be more.
Some say America is hard on the world. Maybe. But America is hardest on itself. The internal war between Americans to determine what we will become still rages. For, you see, America is never static. America is always “becoming.”
The continuous swirling vortex that is America wounds and wounds deeply. Our leaders come and go. They ascend to the pinnacle of power with grandiose ideas only to be swept to the kneeling benches below by the American people, fickle, as they are, who choose not to accept those ideas or that leader’s choice for the direction of travel he intends to take America. We have seen it time and time again.
America’s current leader, Barack Obama, is experiencing the backhand of the people of America. His policies, his directions, his political philosophies have been rejected by “the people.” He is in a desperate fight to salvage something for posterity.

Sir Winston Churchill ]
He was WRONG... democracy is the worse form of government..
Because it is Mob Rule by mobsters..
Monarchy and Sharia Law are also Mob Rule.. by mobsters..
As well as Fascism, Communism and Naziism..
One wonders what Canada sees in democracy thats GOOD!!..
And England, France and Germany... and Russia, India, China and Massachusetts.. and Mexico..
Democracy is a political disease.. socialism is just a symptom..
American colleges are vectors for spreading this disease..
Democrats love democracy thats why they are called democrats..
Many republicans have this disease.. and should be diagnosed..
Maybe someone in your household..
That may be true, but at least there are some restrictions on the mob, unlike a monarchy, Sharia Law, Fascism, Communism and Naziism.
