Never said it did.

We worry about Ashcroft taking away our rights as individuals and say nothing about the increasing Socialist tendancies of our society as fostered by the Politically Correct Agenda? There seems to be a pay-off threshold for what we give up as opposed to what we receive. When it suits our own individual needs we cry "Fair"- if not we cry "Foul". Fickle this democracy shit.

First, I'm not from the USA and am only commenting on your state of affiars as an interested bystander. For a nation that (seems) to pride itself on being the land of the free and defender of liberty and justice for all Ashcroft seems to be doing everything in his power to go against this.
I don't have a problem with Socialist tendancies it just depends on which Socialist tendancies you are refering to. If it is govenment spending on health care (ie universal health care), education and a sizable social safty net, I am all for it. I don't believe the public sector has our interests in mind when it is left up to them to manage them.
Democracy is fickle... it's kind of the whole point of having one. It is by its nature a messy system BUT it is the only fair system (in an ideal democracy - which by the way cannot exist).
