OP asks for a rational discussion and focuses only on answers that stroke his talking points, but bashes others.
Gotta love the radical "we are headed in the same direction as *insert country here*" arguments and any answers involving violence as an option.
Give me a break, the republic is indirectly controlled by the will of the people. A society will always progress and change, just because a majority of the country has a changing opinion does not give you the right use violence to try and "conserve" your view that is becoming a minority.
Some win, some lose.. That's way the system works. Quit being babies.
Individual freedom and responsibility is not a minority view.
This is not about winning or losing an election. This is about whether the country is better or worse off if one party is given enough power to dictate its agenda on the entire country.
And remember, it might not be your party that is in control.
I absolutely prefer the "plodding along" of our system as compared to the system that is now being bandied about by liberals - a one party dictatorship

Do you have a specific example of a "one party dictatorship"? What I mean by a better system is something like what they have in UK (or in most European democracies, though the British model is the best). I don't think Canada can be described as a one party dictatorship. But they do allow one party to take full control over the government, so the party agenda can be properly implemented and its vision tested.
In other words, you don't have to suffer from government gridlocks in order to avoid a dictatorship -- that is a false choice. You can have it both -- a strong democracy AND a functioning government.
No, shit for brains. I am telling the truth about Liberals.Whattya talkin' about? You ever heard of a place called the USSR?
Not to mention, South Africa is reportedly not doing so hot lately because the ruling ANC has not strong alternative, at least at the moment. Without decent competition, there's no real reason to fear failure.
Erik, you're a fucking hypocrite. You wholeheartedly support permanent one party Leftist rule in the US. you are not fooling anyone.
And you're a fucking stupid wingnut, which is why you come to that conclusion. As usual, you know what you can do with it.

we neither are the UK or any other European country, so you can not provide them as an example. Not to even mention that they are not single party ruled ( except Eastern European countries under socialistic regimes before 1989)
And no, they are not single party ruled -- that is also my point. You don't have to choose between an often paralyzed government and a "one party rule" dictatorship.
And you're a fucking stupid wingnut

Please stop feeding it.

You mean Canadians are some kind of different species?
There is third way -- a parliamentary democracy that makes it much easier for one party to take full control over government while allowing the voters to elect the opposition party if they so choose.

Sure! The USSR. China. Iran. North Korea.
You equate a "better system" as the UK. I disagree. I (personally) prefer the system that America has and would fight - tooth and nail - those who "believe they know better" about the ways to "change" our system of government. And, yes, there are those reactionaries in this country who would love to change America to fit their "needs"; as the bolsheviks did in Russia.
As to having it BOTH ways - we have had it BOTH ways from our inception until recently (30 or so years) when our "leaders" began to circumvent our very laws at will, in order to further their hidden agendas. They tell us that our "Constitution is a dated document". This, coupled with the social engineering that has been taking place in our public schools has led to a generation that is looking to "change" a perfect system, rather than dumping these so-called "leaders" who are seeking to destroy from within.
In other words, they put party above country. They put agenda's above country, They put ideology above patriotism. They put the needs of the few over the needs of the many.
No. I'll stick with the system that has been the envy of the world for well over 200 years. And you know, I think that - bottom line - that is what what bothers so many people today. They despise the fact that America, with all it's faults, is still the envy of the world. It grates on them (collectively) and they do what "little people do"; they strike out, They don't want to be great. Being great requires responsibility and frankly, these small-minded people just can't handle it.

yes, they are. they have the different government set up and we, Americans, could care less about it
and we do not want parliamentary democracy.
we are a Constitutional Republic. Period.

That is beside the point -- by the time Hitler ordered the Final Solution the democracy in Germany was long gone.
But we are not debating democracy vs dictatorship. .

But we are not debating democracy vs dictatorship. I am arguing that there are better system of government than what we have in the US -- just as good at preserving democracy, but much better at allowing the government to function.
