Something that will get a lot of republican replies..
I want to be politically uncorrect again...
I'm making my money and keeping an eye on US at least for the past 5 years, I've studied the US history and political system at the university, I've studied the US (or anglo saxon) legal system, I own several books regarding the US history and pop culture.
I use English more than my beautiful, but totally worthless mothers language, thanks that I also learned German so I have the only part of Europe that still knows what a real work is on my side.
Among my all time heroes are many Americans, including Ben Franklin or Robert McNamara (who's a little bit contraversial, but extremely bright).
I own more than 2000 music records, out of that about 80 pct. are artists who made it in US, about 80 pct. of my favourite movies are from US, I love the culture of the 50's 60's and 70's when there was no need to overplay if you had a great script.
That was just to assure myself I'm not entirely retarded and to prepair my ego for the massive, massive abuse I'm going to receive from the die hard Republicans out here after they read below.
Here we go:
1)
Does the Republican party appeal to the less educated / more dogmatic thinking / more ignorant class of the US society?
2)
Does the Republican party make it easier for their voters by offering more dogmatism against discussion?
3)
Are the republican voters really more ignorant, or is it also a matter of the neighborhood, where crows are herding with crows and you don't want to dissapoint your "community" by having another political views?
4)
Are the Republicans more liable to attack you in public for your political views than democrats?
And I'm NOT talking about money, because obviously if you inherit a billion of dollars, than usually you want to preserve it somehow and you want someone who'll shoot any bum who would try to break into your golden cage and you don't care who'll care about the bums or whatever.
And of course, I have no doubt there can be an excellent politician and a leader who's a republican as well as there can be an excellent politician and a leader who 's a democrat.
And I'm not in favor of any of those parties, as I believe to push serious structural changes is not a matter of your political preferences, but it's rather a matter of the personal spirit, power, dedication and personality.
I am a big fan of the political style of Barack Obama, I believe he's extremely qualified to act as a president of United States of America.
I hope he will be able to keep the lobby out of his back at least a little bit, and I do hope he'll be able to restore the trust that America lost, and that America deserves worldwide as a great nation, and a country that was a motor and inspiration for the world economy for many decades during the 20th century.
Hit me!
