We also have armed militias sprouting up and the rise of right wing media. The Democrats and Republicans argue over issues like Medicare and Social Security. Similar programs in Europe are infrequently mentioned.
The Republicans whine incessantly about entitlements while the federal deficit was primarily created by the Bush tax cuts and defense spending.
We have one of thee most privatized systems in the world already, one of the smallest tax burdens as a per cent of GDP and lax labor laws.
Employee wages have remained stagnant for more than a decade and employee benefits are shrinking. The distribution of income in the US that is worse than it was before the Great Depression and many Democrats are afraid to raise taxes on the affluent.
The Middle Class is on it knees and is ready to put more Republicans in the House and Senate, who represent the "have mores."
Rightardia plans to put most of its contributions in the Democratic Senate races and support some local candidates. As long as Democrats can filibuster GOP laws and Obama is president, more regressive legislation can be stopped.
Rightardia does not see how deregulation can help the economy because that what go into the economic mess to begin with. We have seen little data that supports side economics that is not partisan.
We know Republicans would like to privatize Social Security and Medicare, but they have no interest in cutting defense spending which is the big budget waster.
America seems to be drifting to the right and we are still thinking we are fighting the Cold War and need to defeat communism.
We got sucked into the Middle East conflict during the Bush Administration to fight the biggest enemy of Israel.
America still hasn't matured as a nation. If you think things are bad now, wait until 'tan is a can' John Boehener becomes speaker of the House. Hopefully he will remain sober while the House is in session.

“Neither those People of the Book who disbelieve nor the idolaters would like anything good to be sent down to you from your Lord, but God chooses for His grace whoever He will: His bounty has no limits.”
2:105
Whereas Muslims were not the first nation to be given revelation from Allah, Muslims were chosen to receive His final testament until the day of judgement.
And whereas the previous nations were given responsibility to protect their own books - and failed to do so - Allah took it upon Himself to protect the noble Quran.
“We have sent down the Torah, in it is guidance and a light; the prophets who have surrendered judged with it for those who are Jews, as well as the Rabbis, and the Priests, for what they were entrusted of God's Scripture, and they were witness over...”
5:44
Vs.
“Indeed it is We who have sent down the Reminder (the Quran), and indeed it is We who will preserve it.”
15:9
So, our responsibility as Muslims is not to worry about the Quran disappearing off the face of the earth, as that won't be happening. Our responsibility is to be good representatives of the Quran by being well-mannered and to share its message with the rest of humanity, so that they can make an informed decision about Islam and Muslims.
Instead of feeling distressed by the “Burn a Quran” events being organised in some places, or reacting angrily in a way that could make matters worse, we should take positive action, by participating in the “Buy a Quran and Seerah for Libraries” project for example.
This project was launched just a couple of days ago in the city of Cambridge, and has received so much support and excitement from the Muslim community and the county Library that it could well be expanded to libraries nationwide insha’Allah.
Ramadan, the month of the Quran, is coming to an end, so don’t miss the opportunity to contribute directly by visiting the project’s website, or by sharing this information with your friends, and the one who indicates the good is like the one who does it.
