There's nothign sane about a democratic system that gives a minority of the people control over the legislature, particularly when the Senate can control the Supreme Court through appointments.

Besides, the Senate serves no purpose. There's no need to have a check on the House when the presidency and the judiciary serve as checks on laws passed by the legislature.

Obviously you don't know enough about the US government. I can't imagine how freaking scary it would be live in a US without a Senate to moderate those House crazies (which is, interestingly, both bodies' jobs in a nutshell... House are crazies and the Senate moderates them).



There has definetly been a benefit to have a less 'democratic' body as half the legislature. Everyone should have one .

I did Imran, what's your point and don't deal generalities.

I believe in National Health Insurance & Gay marriages and gays in the military. Does this make me liberal; F no.

I believe in no Income Taxes, less Government, and I'm anti-abortion. Does this make me a conservative, again, F no.

So because I call myself a Nationalist, I'm suddenly a Fascist. Your an idiot than.

As I challenged Ludd yesterday, I'm challenging you today. Define Nationalism, and as I stated before, Five will get you ten says you get it wrong too.

The AFP wants a strong moral government with a strong leader, however we are also well aware that, as Thomas Jefferson said, "government is best which governs least." We advocate a return to true states rights, individual responsibility, and individual freedom.


Thanks for playing... maybe one day you too will head the American Fascist Party.

Oh, as for the defintion of nationalism, from Worldnet 2.0:

n
1: love of country and willingness to sacrifice for it [syn: patriotism]
2: the doctrine that your national culture and interests are superior to any other [ant: multiculturalism, internationalism]
3: the aspiration for national independence felt by people under foreign domination
4: the doctrine that nations should act independently (rather than collectively) to attain their goals [ant: internationalism]

You fit 2 & 4. So, I think you are well on your way to being a productive member of the American Fascist Party. May your choice be fruitful!

Move to Canada.

We have no effective opposition to the power of the PM.

The Queen is a figure head who would not dare get involved, and the Senate generally regards themselves as having a similar lack of power... unless it is time to block Tory legislation and feel a need to get stuffed.

That brings us to the Commons... where a minority PM just used patronage to purchase another six months or more of governing.

Stupidity & Ignorance Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

That's what I have to deal with you brain dead, pinheads.

As Defined By Webster:

Nationalism: n Devotion to national interests, unity, and independence.

Nationalist: n 1) An advocate of or believer in nationalism. 2) A member of a political party or group advocating national independence or strong national government -- nationalist adj, often cap -- nationalistic adj

Fascism: n, often cap A political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race and stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition -- fascist n or adj, often cap -- fascistic adj, often cap

Hmmm... That's funny, I don't seem to see the words autocratic, dictatorial, servere, regimentation, or suppression anywhere to describe a nationalist, but they're there to describe a fascist.

And now you can go to the American Fascist Party's homepage and paste their platform. I can't believe how utterly dense you are... especially after my discussion with Drake. You'd think that even Fez would figure things out by now.

I'm dense.

You and others seem to have the problem.

For instance, there is an orange & an apple in front you. But unfortunately for you Imran and et al, all that you see is two round objects. The differences are oblivious to you. Pity.
