I think he's a victim of fetal alcohol syndrome.

There is no King of North Korea.

Report me, of course first you have to find a post where I flamed you in this thread. As to on topic, why is it you get to go off topic but claim no one else can?

Oh for fuck sake there is no helping people like you. Enjoy your life of blissful ignorance. You're going get a new asshole on this site because you don't know what you're talking about. Comprende?

I weep for the future.

hereditary - definition of hereditary by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.

b. Having title or possession through inheritance.

Now remind us how the son of the last dictator became the current dictator?

 

[The2ndAmendment]

Care to back that up with something supporting your claim? Perhaps a dictionary definition?

Republic | Define Republic at Dictionary.com

a state in which the head of government is not a monarch or other hereditary head of state.

Now he's dodging.

From your own link:

A state in which the supreme power rests in the body of citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by representatives chosen directly or indirectly by them.

I can name many forms of oppressive governments that have neither a monarch or hereditary ruler, and so can you.

NK may be a poor example.

Iran is a Republic. The Soviet Union was a Republic. Venezuela is a Republic.

Nazi Germany was a Republic. Tito's Yugoslavia was a Republic.

The Soviet Union was not a Republic. A few old men held all the power.

It is one thing to be NAMED a Republic, it's another thing entirely to actually ACT as a Republic.

China is also a "republic" according to its name. Last I heard you get run down with tanks for protesting.

The pertinent part is that a Republic is a representative democracy, PERIOD. Ruining ANOTHER STUPID Pub dupe argument.

And the amount of lockstep obstruction we have from Pubs the last 5 years has NEVER been seen before (AND in the middle of a Great World Recession caused by THEM, no less). Have filibustered more presidential appointments than in all history before Obama, for example. Not to mention the biggest BS propaganda machine EVER in our history. A disgrace, now FINALLY imploding, hater dupes.

OP- about the dumbest thing Carter has ever said. But does illustrate why Snowden could use about 5 years in prison, even if it IS a mirage, or already known if you were paying attention, a necessary evil.

I bet you found nothing wrong with the Dems during the 1st 2 years of Bush's Presidency blocking all appointments? Now did you? Just like you find nothing wrong with Reid refusing to send to committee how many bills from the House? Or the fact that the dems in the Senate refused for the last 5 years to pass a budget.

 

[Mr. H.]

Every time he enters a thread that isn't supporting total communism, he intentionally lies and distorts and detracts from the topic.

He's just ignorant. It's not intentional.

Hilarious coming from functional moron hater dupes. Yup W was a great president, left Obama a fine situation, and Pubs have been a fine loyal opposition, doing their best for America LOL...

The only thing I do admire about you is that you do say a lot in so few words.

It's such a pity that your words are so worthless.

 

[TemplarKormac]

First I will say what I said in another thread. We aren't a democracy but a republic! Our founders recognized it as such, our constitution describes it as such. We don't have a functioning democracy because we never had one to begin with. Period.

That wasn't Carter's general message. You could have interchanged republic or Popular Sovereignty with "Democracy" and it would have had the same effect. Good job though, you just gave the trolls some food.

for thought.

 

[Darkwind]

Answer me. Do you support Reid and his last 3 years of refusing to even send to committee any bill he does not like? You have claimed it is bad for the House to do it in the future, what about the last 3 years with the Senate ACTUALLY doing it?

First of all, I don't take orders from you.

In other words when Democrats do it, it is ok and good for the Country, when Republicans threaten to do it is bad. Just as i suspect you liberal hypocrite.

He is a lying idiot.

A) BS, nothing like this- 10% of Dems go along with reasonable Pub moves. Blue dogs. Pubs are lockstep cowards.
B) Those Pub bills Reid ignored were Pub BS designed for propaganda only, they KNEW they were DOA. EVERY Pub "jobs bill" just repealed worker and environmental safeguards, NO HELP at ALL.
C.) The Pubs did that, lockstep as always, and refuse to even talk. Propaganda as always, for dupes only.

Read something, Sean Rushbeck.

 

[francoHFW]

BTW, Obama won by a large margin, Booosh stole his election and acted like he had a big mandate, AND wrecked the world....Pubs have never HEARD of a honeymooon, are run by lying hateful charlatan pundit/demagogues, hater dupe. Now imploding, thank God.

When I read shit like this I can't help but puke. It's all good though, the heat has kept me indoors and I've gained 10 pounds. Please continue, I have some more meat to purge.

He accomplished his goal, having us to talk about anything other than the articles and intreview about Jimmy Carter.
