Whoops my mistake I meant Greek! Thank you for clarifying that. It does not however change what I meant.



Democrat:

2. a person who believes in the political or social equality of all people.


Isn't this communism by definition? It should be changed to Commucrat to be more specific lol.

English. Do you speak it? If so, you should be using the American Heritage Dictionary.



1. Government by the people, exercised either directly or through elected representatives.

2. A political or social unit that has such a government.

3. The common people, considered as the primary source of political power.

4. Majority rule.

5. The principles of social equality and respect for the individual within a community.

^That's the definition of democracy. No qualms there.



American Heritage Dictionary:

Democrat: b. One who believes in social equality


I think the word social should be changed to "economic".



HKC, stop using your brain :biggrin:


+ rep!



Truth be told I've got nothing against social and economic welfare in fact I support it and helping others greatly but not at times like these, not when we are made personally to suffer from no faults of our own. I see how they work in D.C. and they're against the founding principles that spawned this wonderful nation. This seems to be a good representation of what the DNC stands for:



On their way into the White House.





Once at the White House.





Once they get out.

com·mu·nism

[kom-yuh-niz-uh m] noun 1. a theory or system of social organization based on the holding of all property in common, actual ownership being ascribed to the community as a whole or to the state. 2. ( often initial capital letter ) a system of social organization in which all economic and social activity is controlled by a totalitarian state dominated by a single and self-perpetuating political party.



Now you are just talking like a canned republican.

Well I am not advocating for either, but it doesn't take much to realize that this country is not healthy. At the moment, it seems like the Republicans would attempt to bring domestic jobs back to the States and shake us from Chinese ownership than the Democrats are doing, and making you and me pay for all of it. That's just logic to me. Anything different is just talk. Let's see what happens.

The republicans will strip what is left of the middle class. They talk of reducing spending on entitlements but don't want to talk about the war industry or the growth of government bureaucracy.



We are broke as a nation. If it weren't for the Chinese reinvesting out dollars who would be buying our bonds, except the FED?



We will find out what this country is made of when the Treasury has a failed bond auction. Until interest rates rise to normal levels we will just cruise along. When they do rise we are doomed. There is no way to pay off our debt and the interest payment too.

False! We can pay the debt AND the interest - IF we stop adding more debt! As this will not happen, we are screwed beyond remedy. Greece is too big to bail out properly, Spain and Italy are too big to bail out at all, and we are bigger than the whole lot of them. There is no bailing us out.

$.46 of every dollar the FEDs spend is borrowed.
