Right... you're in this country yeah, and there's a General Election coming up: There are two parties.
1) The US Communist party - Hardliners, for control of all Media and Economy to a tee. No freedoms allowed.
2) The Nazi Party. Great, but only if you aren't black, a jew, catholic, gay, a gypsy, unemployed...
Would you forgive someone for not voting either way here?

No. They just have to pick the lesser of two evils.

If your not ready to present actual PROOF of you claims, then quite fearmongering and shut the fuck up.

Thats the exact reason why third parties have no power, if everyone voted for the party that agreed with them, then we wouldn't have a two party system.

That would depend on your view of working.
And it's better than having a system where the party whips are so strict that the reps have ball gags and spreader bars on and are forced to sit down when they pee.

First of all, Monarchy is a government type, it has little or nothing to do with personal freedoms, a Monarchy could very well be more free than a democracy. Second, has any part of the patriot act effected anyone you know? Third, the state of the union? What does that have to do with anything?

I don't see much difference between a monarchy and a democracy if you ask me. Short of the fact that one has a public figurehead for ceremonies and purposes of tradition.

State of the union refering to the condition of our nation as a whole at this time. Yes, my uncle was affected by the patriot acts, as a matter of fact. Because of the Bush administration, we have very few personal freedoms, especially pre-World Trade attacks.

What does that have to do with Monarchy?

I highly doubt that.

My ass. The only thing that could possibly effect any of us is the 72 hour holding period.

Your thinking of a whole different thing. England isn't a monarchy now, it is referred to as a constitutional monarchy, but it's really more of a democratic-republic. A Monarchy is actually when one person has control over the country, and thier claim to the throne is supposedly "divine right".
