Title: The Ideal Republican Nation
Post by: Howey on June 05, 2011, 12:06:36 pm
Don't cheat...I'd like some guesses as to which nation this is.  Answer forthcoming.


Quote
It has among the lowest tax burdens of any major country: fewer than 2 percent of the people pay any taxes. Government is limited, so that burdensome regulations never kill jobs.

This society embraces traditional religious values and a conservative sensibility. Nobody minds school prayer, same-sex marriage isn’t imaginable, and criminals are never coddled.

The budget priority is a strong military, the nation’s most respected institution. When generals decide on a policy for, say, Afghanistan, politicians defer to them. Citizens are deeply patriotic, and nobody burns flags.

It reminds me of lilMike's and the right wing's obsession with the changes in Afghanistan since the 70's.

A society done in by religious zealots.
