I think a lot of liberals are really over exagerating when they attack the "right wing". I think both sides get a little too passionate and a little too hung up on stereotypes.

I wouldn't mind a fascist regime that had some aspects of a democratic republic.

My main beef with the US government is that it takes SO friggin long to get anything done. Everything is dictated by this petty game the Republicans and the Democrats play. It just makes no sense. I also don't think the average person knows what is good for them AND what is good for the country and everyone else in it at the same time. I don't think the average person is educated enough. I would accept and promote the voting system to be changed to something like this:

A fourth branch of the government headed by a Controller or meaningful figurehead and a system of councils. This branch would take the other 50% of the vote in presidential elections and things like that. This branch would also have veto power and would oversee the rest of the government and oversee it self. One of its main duties would be to think about and suggest reforms.

Oh well, that's just one of my ideas. I've been watching a lot of CNN lately (my remote broke) and I've been day dreaming about government reform.
