Also, it seems you're under the impression that my original post was somehow aimed at you or meant to be divisive? Please allow me to disabuse you of that impression, because neither are true.

We basically have a two party system in the US, regardless of how accurate the labels "liberal" and "conservative" may truly be. And your post essentially bashed Democrats, who are the only likely party to restore something better than radically self-serving right-wing politics to this country. So, in light of the undeniably fascistic direction the current "conservative" administration has bullied us into for the past 6 years, which has failed miserably on every level; the slanted and abridged history lesson you've inserted into this thread is as counter-productive as it is moot. Whether or not you aimed it me, or anyone else, is immaterial. Tfan is knee-jerk neo-nazi and, imho, you should've been more concerned with exposing his incongruities than giving him any breathing-room on this thread.
