1)Try to keep up nurse. My "it became a Democracy" comment of course refers to people getting the privilege of voting the founding fathers never intended to vote. The free loaders/entitlement/welfare queens for example. They now vote themselves "free" stuff paid for by the responsible productive tax payers the founding fathers intended to vote. That and our "representatives" who utterly ignore their fiduciary responsibility to do whats best for the nation as a whole and pander to the free loaders/entitlement/welfare queens for votes, using tax payers money. End result being our problems are now the same as a democracy, even though on paper we're still supposedly a republic. To be honest, what with all our self proclaimed geniuses, I didn't think I'd need to explain. Obviously some of our self proclaimed geniuses are not so...genius after all. 2) I anxiously await you telling IQ47 he's a dumb ass for his repeated claims.
Amazing.. the ridiculousness of the opinions some people hold dear, isn't it? And they get to vote... to determine the fate of others?? How immoral!
Too many major nations are too intertwined with us. If we went down, it would make the Asian contagion look like noise on a one minute chart.
Your premise is flawed, ignorant, stupid and baseless. Why? The world going to fight over who gets to buy our worthless debt?
Nah, I just wanted to get you on the record one more time for supporting the assertion that only white males with property should vote. Thanks.
Luke, it is clear that the explosion of your world view has sent you into a tailspin. So, vent away, sir. Consider it therapy.

It WAS the intention of the founding fathers. Whether you're capable of accepting it or not. I'm honest enough to admit how much better our present position would be if we had followed their original intentions. You're not.
