Dear All
As i am Chinese we maybe have a different perspective on your political system. At a recent rally, one of our political speakers had some really interesting points to make (sure - we embrace capitialism but we still consider ourselves communist / socialist)
Dr Yue alluded to the recent debate in USA (and here) concerning Gay Marriage, abortion etc and how these became such hot topics in the recent election. The focus on these topics whip up huge right wing / religious support for your President and his party. However the relaity is these "burning issues" affect only a small number of the USA population. the President cleverly forced these issues / so called "need for Constitiutional Change" despite the fact that they stood little chance of success.
At the same time you have a pro gay V.P., a lesbian Sec of State. G W said himself that gay people should have equal protection in the law, the need for consititutional reform has gone away.
I believe the president is secretly a liberal kind of guy with left-ish leanings. his beautiful daughters go out to party and he himself is an alcoholic. he has found God but in doing so he has found humility and the way to embrace diversity.
Basically he use the religious right as gay groups / women groups in USA are too powerful to be fought against.
Dr Yue's point was that, as the USA empire enters the autumn of its exisitence (soon it will be Winter ), its powerplay between state and the people shows that even "right wing" politics can no longer succeed against the will of the people who can politize themselves. The religious right is an empty vessel making a lot of sound.
Also, We in China have decriminalised homosexuality and i can now get c**k anywhere.
