Reply #180: He didn't want Americans to think that we have a right to fight city hall?

Is this a trick question?

I don't think that any dedicated politico who cherishes his position and career is about to step that far out of line to actually buck the system. His function is to work within the accepted structures; obey the "laws", follow set "methods", recognize the power of the "courts", and not upset the fruitbasket.

How I feel about it is that our government decided it would work better for a rethug to accomplish the conquests in South Asia and the Middle East, so that is why a rethug was installed. If the people would have resisted those mechanizations and somehow made their votes count for something, I haven't a doubt that the bombardments, invasions, and occupations that were required by the imperialist nature of our country would have proceeded, according to plan, no matter who held the reins.
