[quote=SK in CV]For socrattt:

I’m quite sure I haven’t claimed I was a moderate. I’m not even close. But neither have I expressed any ideological mantras, least of all “Obama is the messiah”. I live in the real world. Faith, like yours, is fantasy. Whether conservative or liberal, or Christianity or Islam, faith is religion. I have none in anything other than the capacity of the human mind. I am a believer in almost nothing.

To each his own and I commend you for saying that you are a believer in almost nothing. Life must me really tough for you and I hope that you find something to believe in!! I will tell you one thing I believe in. I believe our current administration is failing to take the necessary steps to pull this country out of a depression!! Until the day the US learns to reward hard work and penalize those who do nothing more than take advantage of a system, this country will never prosper!!

As to your Faith is fantasy comment, I wish I had a moment to share some of my life experiences growing up around a few devil worshippers. It wasn’t all that fun and what they were playing with wasn’t a game, I promise you that!!!!

On this part, it seems we agree. Whether the devil or some other god, faith often does as much damage as it does good.

Kleptocracy: (from Greek klepto=theft and kratos=rule) Sometimes cleptocracy, occasionally kleptarchy, is a term applied to a government that extends the personal wealth and political power of government officials and the ruling class (collectively, kleptocrats) at the expense of the population, sometimes without even the pretense of honest service.

Kleptocracy in government often vitiates prospects of foreign investment and drastically weakens the domestic market and cross-border trade. As the kleptocracy normally embezzles money from its citizens by misusing funds derived from tax payments, or money laundering schemes, a kleptocratically structured political system tends to degrade nearly everyone’s quality of life. In addition, the money that kleptocrats steal is often taken from funds that were earmarked for public amenities, such as the building of hospitals, schools, roads, parks and the like – which has further adverse effects on the quality of life of the citizens living under a kleptocracy.[1] The quasi-oligarchy that results from a kleptocratic elite also subverts democracy (or any other political format the state is ostensibly under).[2]

Can we also agree that fabricating quotes from other posters is really bad style?
