Should America become a Moronarchy?

[MineralMan]

That seems to be what the wingers want for our country.

[Journeyman]

1. I thought we just finished 8 years of Moron-archy . . .

or are you thinking of a royal screwing via a monarchy?

[MineralMan]

5. It's just that the freepers and the wingers appear to want

that to happen. Seems like something we should worry about...and act against. The loudest voices these days seem to be coming from the right.

[SpiralHawk]

2. Will we all be forced to run socialist Moronathons?

If so, will we be issued free socialist-government sneakers? Where do I go to sign away my intelligence and free will? Do I need a note from my mother? So many questions - they make my brain hurt

[JonQ]

3. Nope

had that at one point, didn't go so well, tried something else instead.

4. If progressive can pick the king/queen, I'm in.

If John Cornyn or Tom Coburn pick, no deal.

6. Been there, done that.

Didn't even bother with the T-shirt. Who would want to advertise it?

7. Theocracy is different

than monarchy.

[MineralMan]

9. I assume you clicked "Me not understand," right?

[get the red out]

13. Hardly

I understand completely, what the theocratic fools aligned with the corpotocracy want is a theocratic government that is controlled quietly by big business. What the Republicans are now but on a large scale. A Monarchy is about a long-time ruling family where the leadership is passed from parent to child or other blood relative for generations. They had the Bushes, but I doubt they will dip into that blood-line for leadership and create a true Monarchy.

The are not after democracy, we agree that, belittling as you felt it necessary to be.

14. Read the title again...look at the actual words, rather than

the impressions of the words...

Or don't...

[BlooInBloo]

8. We already are. Have been for some time.

[Donnachaidh]

10. it's an IDIOCRACY right now. n/t

[bemildred]

11. Second vote for "Idiocracy". nt

12. Who are you kidding? Here are the differences below:

In the middle ages feudal lords owned all of the land, and if you swore fealty to them for life they would let you live and work there so long as most of your labor benefited them. They were largely exempt from any kind of law so long as they didn't try to "piss up the totem poll". The monarch was another feudal lord, sometimes with more land, who ruled at the consent of the feudal lords. If he/she pissed them off too much it was bye bye king.

In the modern age CEO's and hedge funders own all of the land and resources, and if you swear fealty to them for life they might let you live and work so long as most of your labor benefits them. They are largely exempt from any kind of law so long as they don't try to "piss up the totem poll". The President/Congress Ppl are often also CEOs, sometimes with more money, who rule at the consent of the business world. If he/she pisses them off too much it's bye bye time.

15. Another non-reader chimes in. Please read the title carefully...

Oh, well...

[Indenturedebtor]

17. Read my post and tell me how this indicates that I didn't read your title...?

You said "should become" as in "not already is". I contend that it already is one.

period of civilization." Oscar Wilde

18. This is a DUzy of a poll

Love it. :evilgrin:

[DailyGrind51]

19. No, but we should petition Great Britain to take us back!

At least we would have the National Health Service.
