The Bernake will broach no competition. I’m surprised that there are so many here that actually applaud the Police State’s claim of terrorism ..... pretty sad.
Well, lots of conservatives still think that the US government is correctly characterized as a constitutional republic and have faith in its institutions. They still believe what they learned in 9th grade civics class, think that the Constitution (as amended) is something other than a dead letter, and trust that Republicans, at least, represent their interests rather than those of the ruling elite. They are like sheep and the USG is their good shepherd.
