The only reason I'm going to touch this is because it isn't in Tilted Politics. Even though it should be. Why isn't there? Huh. Now I'm nervous.

You just answered your own question. It's painfully obvious that modern America is long on bitching and short on ass-off-the-couching.
All this Tea Party bullshit and your notion of an armed insurrection are hilarious. You can't start a war from your living room and you know what that means? America won't do shit if it can't do it in a La-Z-Boy with a Bud Light in their hand. I blame Middle Class White America for our problems.
Why? Because they're the group that every politician is talking about regardless of their party or issue. Everybody blows sunshine up the asses of this increasingly small slice of America because they're linked with the white-picket-fence married w/kids 'n house American Dream image bullshit. The rich don't need promises, they just want to be left alone with their Babel-height stacks of Benjis... and the poor / minorities? They're too busy trying to scrape by to really give a damn about things that might as well be happening on another planet. Socioeconomic segregation is the buzzword and it works here.
I'm disgusted every time I go to vote... I'm often one of the youngest people there and I've been the legal age to vote for over a decade.
Sure, the candidates suck. And sure, they lie. That's why I vote for the underdog who sports lies more in line with my tastes in promise-colored bullshit.

We ignore the French for good reason, chief. This whole uproar about them raising the retirement age to 62? Political strife? BFD. The urban French trash cars and set dumpsters on fire twice a decade for one silly reason or another. I read about it in a Western Civ class I took. They've been doing this for decades. Everybody else in the country just continues drinking snooty wine, smoking acrid cigarettes, and fucking like rabid baboons.
