Poll question: America, no longer America?
Edited on Wed Jul-09-08 12:49 PM by realpolitik
Has the capitulation on Telecom immunity and FISA so destroyed the constitution that America no longer actually exists as a nation under law?

1. Option 4, because the current crew have been corrupted by
big money. I'm sorry, but that's really what I see.

2. waiting for the eco/economic situation to dissolve the continent into smaller, separate countries...
...maybe one or two of them will have the quaint old "rule of law" again...

3. I can't wait for the projected riots the Army is preparing for
That tells me far worse is coming...and I'm already blacklisted due to the efforts of a not-so-subtle relative.

It's depressing and freeing to be dead where you stand.

4. I am a bit surprized that no one so far has chosen
the first or second option...
So far 15% of us expect to die in this crisis.

It says something, I think.

5. Yes, and I wish they'd change the name. My suggestion:
The 50 seceded states formally known as the US.

6. None of the above.
I'd like to note the irony of your name, too.

7. Economic and political justice is the only realpolitik
Edited on Wed Jul-09-08 02:04 PM by realpolitik
everything else is a revolution waiting to happen.

And the left can be as realpolitik as the right.
Ask Beria, if you don't believe me.
