The Binary Fallacy and the End of Both Parties
Wash., DC) The results of eight years of Bush-Cheney at the helm make the demise of the Republican Party an easy call. Our financial system is on life support. The major banks are insolvent, according to banking and legal authority William K. Black. If they're not, they're in intensive care. No matter how many trillions of dollars worth of infusions they receive, they're not making loans. The economy is in a free fall with growth down 6% a quarter and job losses running at nearly 600,000 a month. We're stuck in two catastrophic wars. Despite President Obama's election, we're viewed with suspicion and disregard throughout the world.
The public knows which party bears the primary blame for all of this and they're not about to forget any time soon. The Republican Party is headed for the political graveyard.
They're not going to rely on past achievements though. Through their self-proclaimed national leader, the odious Rush Limbaugh, they've chosen to attack the first Latino nominee to the Supreme Court, Judge Sonia Sotomayor, for being a "racist." Former Oxycontin addict Limbaugh said, "She brings a form of bigotry and racism to the court." He went on to say that nominating her was like nominating Klansman and Aryan Nation advocate David Duke for the highest court.

This is slanted.

If you check the Congressional Record, you will find a great number of Representatives and Senators from BOTH parties voting in favor of various measures that undermine the nation's Constitution, its economy, and its security. BOTH parties do this, of course, because BOTH parties are owned/influenced by the same masters.
CHALLENGE TO ANYONE. Go to Google and find me the following documents and facts with regard to both parties:
If you can't readily find these facts, shouldn't that tell you something about the nature of these two entities?
We have been royally duped----we have been trained to pit one party against the other, when the TRUTH of the matter is that they BOTH work for the same agenda. They are marketing to the citizens based upon certain prejudices, yet the result is more or less the same.

very good
article.
I think
this author, Michael Collins, is pretty myopic, and has a very left-slanted view.
His opinions about the Sotomayor nomination are fairly pukeworthy, but I don't doubt that there are millions of other dolts out there like him, which may actually make up demographic numbers like he suggests..
And finally, his suggestion that the Democrats will be the "dominant party" over the "next several decades" fails to take into account that in less than 4 years, the country will be so sick of Obama, they will never want to see the word "Democrat" ever again.
That's IF the nation survives for 4 years under Obama.
This article was pretty typical of leftists who want to "look like" they are unhappy with both sides, but really want to leave the reader with the impression that one side is clearly better than the other, so I chalk it up to a partisan article in disguise.
Clafirication
I wanted to clarify a few of the points that you made regarding my article. I've had articles reprinted here, including this one on the Minneapolis Rally for the Republic last summer.

While I'm not advocating Sotomayor's confirmation, I read the article again tonight and it occurred to me how someone might think I was. I seek to show the highly self destructive nature of the Republican Party. It is alienating an entire ethnic group in the strangest way, a group that's been competitive for them in the past. There are any number of points that they could have made about her record, without invoking the race card. My comment is on their self destructive tactical approach.
I do have a bias on the next justive of the Supreme Court. In fact, i have a litmus test: The nominee should be able to explain this and promise to enforce it:
ARTICLE 1, SECTION 8 The Congress shall have Power:
"To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;"
That would prevent a whole host of problems. Since none of the current justices seem to understand that, I'm not optimistic.
40 more years of power for Democrats? That's James Carvell's new book title and he's dead wrong.
I think both major parties are in huge trouble and probably finished. I said:
"The game is up. The party is over. The people have a fundamental right to survive, at the very least. If both parties continue to promote policies that leave out almost all citizens, as is now the case, there will be alternatives that look nothing like the current two political parties."
Take care, Michael Collins

Thank you for a personal response to my post.
I do agree in large part with your comments about the fates of both parties, if they remain on their current tracks.
My view on the Supreme Court, as well as the role of gov't, is that they should remain firmly within the bounds set forth in the Constitution, as you suggest, and the Court to offer soundly-based rulings on technical questions like Art 1 Sec 8 that you mentioned.
couldn't agree more
it is interesting however that even this guy sees- if ever so slantily- that the two party system is DEAD!!
