I think it deserves it's own thread: Gore won the election

27. 2001-2009 was an usurpation

I refer to it as such. When the sand and ashes are blown and cleared away, it will be recorded as such in history. Right now, still, if one says this, he may be dismissed, or hooted at; but those doing the hooting tend to be partisans whom care nothing about justice. Those are the people that include the teabaggers, and other miscreants, yelling about "taking our country back". This is the anti-democratic element, it is unfortunate for the country and the world, that the United States has such a large contingent of these fascists.

Further, gwbjr was the worst president in our history ever. People speak of the incompetency of Harding, Harding realised that he did not measure up. gwbjr lived a partial fantasy, lacked introspection and honesty. Some historians sight Buchanan or Pierce as the worst, because of the ensuing war they did not act to prevent. I reject that argument, the tension over slavery and the culture/society/economic base it was and secession was brewing decades before the 1850s. That men were not able to solve beforehand the conflagration is not too hard to understand. dick cheney is the meanest bastard ever to achieve power in our history, his combination of access, involvement and resources to cause evil has no equal in the history of the United States. Still further, the whole operating apparatus of the Republican Party has been fascist.

Gore, Kerry, et alia did not want to cause embarrassment to the country by showing the system corrupt. Who did this benefit? Not the country, or the world, just the special interests of the American fascists at the top, not their idiot supporters.

That period has to be viewed as a disaster, and an interregnum. It should not be repeated, but just as there were lingering Nazi supporters, and then neo-Nazis in Germany, so there are similar people here.
