That sounds like some 1984 stuff right there.

1984 is closer to what we have now.

Yeah.. I think a bunch of these rednecks need to go to Room 101.

Ever think that the people on top are the reasons why people are so ignorant? I'd say ignorant masses are easier to govern and control than those who're well informed and intelligent.

Ehh.. I had to face those same odds, and I would consider myself decently well informed relative to most people in this society. You can blame the powers that be for a lot, but individual ignorance - to a certain extent - is the product of individual laziness.

Other way around...

The current people that are in power often get there due to the ignorance of the population.

Them being there is not what causes said ignorance.

Yup. 1 vs. 7 million. 1 wins. Apply it to anything is the point, no matter what side of the fence in any issue. It's wrong. These libs chase minority rule, talk shit against the nature of my fellow citizens as if they are dolts. Their fools, and as in 1984, on the verge of starting a big dirty war (Iran etc) to keep/build their power. I'm not Rep or Dem, but for sure I'll be voting against the Dems this time around. I mean what votes are worth... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Damn judges expecting laws to be in line with the Constitution; don't they understand that God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve?

</sarcasm, just to be clear>

Libs chasing minority rule? Take a look at how many times the republicans have used the filibuster in this congress to rule with a 41-59 minority.

The courts are obligated to interpret laws - and often that means one judge or a small panel will overrule something enacted by a far greater number. However we also grant veto power to executives, who can use it to unilaterally overrule their legislative body. And just as a legislature can overrule a veto, Judges' decisions can be overruled by changing laws or amending constitutions.

I got asked what country Norway was in by some friends in college when I was planning a trip there =/ sad times. I swear I'm the only person I know that can accurately spell most 5+ letter words as well, it's downright embarrassing sometimes.
