So sure, pure communism is destined to fail. But a pure oligarchy will fair no better IMO. Especially as any "communist" countries we've seen are really oligarchies ... and they have indeed failed. Most companies, especially the large multi-nationals, are also oligarchies. It is possible to have a democratically responsible capitalism, as we see this in democratic socialist countries with socially responsible capitalism that benefits the population.

Congress can establish a new form of incorporation that restricts political campaigning for corporations. A change in corporate taxes could strongly encourage migration to the new form of incorporation. I like it. Voluntary restriction of rights. Make it a condition for any non-profit organization or company: if you don't pay taxes then you don't mess with politics. Neither funding of campaigns nor lobbying of congress allowed. This would go a long way to solving the dark money ... Enjoyby our ability to understand Rebel American Zen Deist ... to learn ... to think ... to live ... to laugh ... to share.

All corporations are ultimately owned and operated by humans. So curtailing corporation speech always involves curtailing some human being's speech. No -- those people have their own personal voice and right to speech, giving corporations the same right means that the owners have two voices (as well as dollups of cash), in addition giving corporations those rights assumes that all workers for that corporation are also wanting to express that speech -- an obvious fallacy. Corporations are NOT people.by our ability to understand Rebel American Zen Deist ... to learn ... to think ... to live ... to laugh ... to share.

What? Two voices? How so? (1) personal spending on campaigns up to current limits (2) corporate spending on campaigns up to current limits Double the money, double the "voice" on the airwaves and those limits are the next item being attacked in the court Enjoy by our ability to understand Rebel American Zen Deist ... to learn ... to think ... to live ... to laugh ... to share.

So we come to an off election year ... with people pseudocampaigning for 2016 while watching what happens in the house and senate.
Governor Chris Cristie, the almost designated GOP candidate goes down in flames with corruption swirling around him. Anybody watching?

I believe senator John McCain was born in Panama. On a military base as I recall, which is considered US soil (same as diplomatic embassy grounds) by our ability to understand Rebel☮American☆Zen☯Deist ... to learn ... to think ... to live ... to laugh ... to share.

Faith's a Birther?
Of course Faith's a Birther. Looking at the broader picture of this fake issue (ie people other than Faith) I see: (1) Obama is Kenyan: this is code for being black, but you don't get called a racist for being prejudiced about kenyans ... (2) Obama is Muslim: this is also code for being black, but it is still "okay" in some parts of the US to be Islamophobic, so again you don't get called a racist ... just an intolerant idiot (something Christians seem to have perfected in the extreme sects). Just like socialist/communist/fascist/dictator is dog-whistle language for haters to hate before even considering the reality.

Is Obama running in the next Republican primary? Cuz, the title of this thread is about awesome Republican primaries. This is in response to Ted Cruz running for president even though he was born in Canada of a Cuban immigrant and American mother. The parallel to Obama is hilarious, and even birther-in-chief Donald Trump has asked for Cruz's birth certificate ... The US Constitution says (article 2 section 1 paragraph 5):
quote: Next up we have Title 8 Chapter 12 Subchapter III Part I 1401 quote: ie - "natural born" by virtue of being a citizen at birth (do not have to be "naturalized" to become a citizen), here by having at least one parent being a US citizen even if not born in the US. There is also a provision that you can't have allegiance to another country, and that is why Cruz recently revoked his Canadian citizenship. What this means is
It will be most entertaining to watch the birthers that want Cruz but hate Obama twist on this issue. Enjoy_________________ (1) so even if Obama was not a "natural born" citizen by virtue of being born IN the US (which he was), he still qualifies as a "natural born" citizen by virtue of having an American citizen parent (mother), and that makes him more qualified as a "natural born" citizen than Cruz ever will be ....
