your initial generalization concerning reps and dems is faulty. though fascists and the bible thumping nut jobs in the party may favor such draconian measures, they hardly constitute the majority of the party. the reps have historically represented an ideology of limited governmental interference with the day to day life of the citizenry. it is the dems who's ideology tends toward massive programs intent on meddling in our lives. though semi-anarchists and free thinkers do gravitate toward the dem party, they do not make up a majority on that side of the aisle either.
So tell me 'o' wise one, what does the future hold?
