And with your second bolded phrase, what the fuck are you talking about? I don't want a free lunch. I make over $80,000 a year and pay quite a bit of taxes. I don't mind it at all. And I don't think Obama will save the world. I don't even like him, but a majority of people voted for him and a majority still like him.
And finally, our government is officially democratic. Period. End of story.

Man does your head hurt from all the scrubbing? A PHD ? And you didn't know what the definition of a Republic really was? C'Mon brother you understand the difference now, yes?
I wasn't really directing the free lunch comment at you in particular, just Democracy advocates in general, because that is how they usually end. Once everyone realizes that they can have it all for free with no effort then the govt collapses due to no income. All governments that have tried pure Democracy have failed. History.
And Now I hope you also see that our government is a Republic, period. end of story. That may not be the way it is practiced, but that is the way it is SUPPOSED to be. Now with Obama supporting "Extended Detention" which is a euphemism for throwing people in Jail forever with no trial, habeus corpus, or charges, then yes he is operating above the Law, whats new? Our Government doesn't have to abide by the law, it can do whatever it wants , whenever it wants, to whomever it wants with pure abandonment of "Common Law". As long as the staus quo is upheld and the Agenda is allowed to go on this will only get worse for ALL of us.
It is the Governments responsibility to Protect your rights, but now a days people are just happy to not have it trample those rights on a daily basis.
