?Is the American Revolution dead?

[Bob Ireland]

Nuts!

[Irish_Thatcherite]

Sounds like an oligarchy to me!

[Jim Robinson]

Howdy Bob!

This helps to explain it:

[Brian Mosely]

Now there's a name I haven't seen around here in a while...

[redgolum]

This should be interesting

[Irish_Thatcherite]

They are just like Sinn Fein/IRA!

[mysterio]

I agree with you. We certainly have a ruling class. And it is perilous times for those who believe in the Constitution and limited government. And the left isn't the only side chipping away at the Constitution, either.

[Zacs Mom]

Let's not forget that ol' slick is a disbarred lawyer ~ something the media has totally ignored as they continue to always refer to him as President clinton while, , as a gesture of disdain, deliberately referring to President Bush as Mister Bush!!

[the gillman@blacklagoon.com]

Uh, Bob.

Nice to see you.

It can't be an oligarchy of democrats.
The Republicans are in charge.

So, it might be a Cowardacracy or a Dumbocracy, but how can it be an oligarchy run by the party who is out of party?

Just incompetants being jerked around by a bunch of thugs.

Precisely and that's why on a post earlier this week I said I can no longer even vote for two local democrats that I consider friends/acquantances for small time, very insignificant local positions. They are registered with a party which has become a criminal enterprise and unless/until they switch to any other party, Libertarian, Independant, Whig, I really don't care, I can't support them.

Because, for example, the Clinton's were both proved ...

I read this far, saw the use of the apostrophe to indicate a plural, and decided that if the author wasn't professional enough to proofread his work, his thoughts probably weren't worth wasting my time upon.

Sloppy writing bespeaks sloppy thinking.

[RightWhale]

Nothing wrong with an oligarchy, except some of the Commies use the term in derogation. Some countries write constitutions especially to institute their oligarchy in an orderly way. The whole world as bourgeois, imagine! No more plebs, no more proles, everybody bourgeois, that's the way we are headed since the failure of Marxism has become apparent to even the blindest anarchist.

[Sthitch]

I find it hard to believe that you can call a country an oligarchy when the example that is given is someone who grew up dirt-poor and went on to become President of the United States. I should note I have complete and utter disdain for President Clinton, and wish that he had never arrived on the political scene.

[Matchett-PI]

You forgot to mention Sandy Burgler. And how about the guy who helped Clinton launder his oil for food money? And how about [fill in the blanks ad nauseum].

[metesky]

However you look at it, it's an oligarchy.

1 President
1 Vice President
9 Supreme Court Justices
100 Senators
435 Congressmen

546 people at the top of 300 million. Sounds like a classic oligarchy to me.

IMO, we must repeal the 17th Amendment and enlarge the House of Representatives dramatically.

Power in the Senate has to be returned to the states and the people are now way to numerous to be represented by 435 people in any effective way.

[Bob Ireland]

Hi, J.R.!!

Let's take a garbage truck to the DNC and reward them suitably? ;-)

[Bob Ireland]

***the left isn't the only side chipping away***

Certainly not! [...and the media has become a dangerous horror also!]

[Bob Ireland]

Yikes!!! Howdy!!!

[caisson71]

And we have good men and women sacrificing their lives for this?
