I might as well be living in Singapore or Commie China or some other one party political system with a capitalistic economy.

Singapore has laws against defaming the different ethnic groups, controls media and arrests anyone who protests too loudly against the system or organizes any new political party (COMMIE OR TEA PARTY?????).

One party rules with some scattered independent opposition there.

Hey, at least in China they're apparently willing to let Christianity grow; here Christianity [and religion in-general] is anathema to our ruling elite.
(See America’s Ruling Class — And the Perils of Revolution, a long read, but it explains things well.)
