A European asked me the other day if the US was heading towards fascism. I said that while the Democratic party wanted to write laws to make everyone nice, and the Republican party wanted to write laws to make everyone good, that by playing one off against the other, the population had been doing ok.
I know that the conventional wisdom is that the Republicans are evil fascists while the Democrats are civil libertarians, its just not true. Both parties believe that their curtailing of individual freedoms is ok, but the other guys isn’t. Both parties are wrong.
In my not at all humble opinion. It bugs me just as much when the Democrats mess with the second amendment as when the Republicans mess with the first.
Then of course, you have Democrats who mess with all of them, like John Kerry.
