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. Title: Re: The Ideal Republican Nation Post by: Howey on June 06, 2011, 12:41:38 pm Damn. Y'all ain't no fun.

Title: Re: The Ideal Republican Nation Post by: Howey on June 06, 2011, 08:58:02 pm I had read the Times article already and knew the answer.. ;) 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. Welcome to Amerika, 2050! |
