Wow, it has been quite a while, eh? (Details later.)

Anyways, whether or not you supported Obama, he is president now. (And that is something that requires the miracle of an economic recession to accomplish.) I, as an Independent liberal (no, not like Liberman; more like John Stuart Mill, although I am NOT a utilitarianist), did not agree with either McCain (well, I did, before he turned into a Bush doppelganger) or Obama. Both major candidates sucked, as well as most of the third party candidates (Bob Barr especially). Anyways, as someone who doesn't necessarily Obama, I do hope that he can pull America out of the slump it's in, and establish foresight for the future. Although, right now, that isn't what I'm focused on in the political world; it's how a nation that, just about forty years ago, was still racist (in the Deep South, anyways) could elect Obama. I mean, there were major electoral district wins for the Democrats this year; and because of Obama (if he doesn't screw it up in his EIGHT years ahead; he will get re-elected), I fear that this nation will be blue for a long, long time. And why? ("I thought you were a liberal?") Well, because of the stupidity of some leftists. For example, in the Cloudy City (Seattle), the morons want to install solar panels on houses. Now, that's fine and dandy in Florida, but Seattle? WTF? What event in American history happened that the post-McCarthy liberals are f-ing dunces now? I really don't know, frankly. Oh, yeah, I almost forgot about the "eco-friendly" legislation in California that would drive nearly all Californian truckers out of business. (WTF- especially in a recession.) I mean, what kind of BS is this? Did I just wake up one morning to find that all liberals have been debrained? Urk...

This is really more of a vent, so sorry. Anyways, comments on the stupidity of modern Democrats? (Please note, Republicans are worse. But, I still hold Democrats to be idiots, which is why I'm an independent.)

Oh, yeah, it's great to be back.

I feel it's a combination of both idiotic Demos and Repubs. It all depends on how you perceive them to be.

Well, there's a perception that liberal is a synonym for Democrat; that's a derogatory statement to anyone who has studied liberalism of Europe, and not this BS American Liberalism. But, you know, if America wasn't dominated by the electoral college, it was actually democratic and not plutocratically oligarchical, then we would get somewhere. I am NOT pro-democracy, and am, in fact, anti-democracy. I am, however, (much like Plato), in support of a reasonable republic. In my mind, it would be a meritocratic republic favoring the intelligentsia elite of America; so I guess you could call it an elitist republic. (It is a shame that elitist has become a synonym for "guy who hates America"; but such is the degradation of language.)

But, in reality, most Americans are centralistic border-hoppers that will side with either Democrats or Republicans. (It's funny though, that the popular vote can be disregarded through the electoral college, although, in some backwards way, the electoral college is dependent upon voting.) And that is where we get into trouble, assuming that America is either super-secular (Right-wing fundamentalists), or a bunch of Nazi's (central-to-far leftists). It's quite funny, to see cattle herded in such a manner. (And yes, I referred to all undecided voters as cattle.) But, such is the sham that is politics in America.

(Maybe I should just give up and move to Nunavut or Norway; both are great choices, considering Nunavut is laughingly primitive, and Norway is a market socialist country- hurrah!)

Anyways, thanks for letting me rant/rave/digress/etc.
