Many people have compared the end of America to Rome. It - wasn't the empire that destroyed

[ In Reply To ..]
the republic. It was the corruption of the people who stopped believing in it and looked to a strong man, a savior, who would wash away the corruption of the old republic and "fix things."

Sound familiar?

There were a number of factors in the fall of the Roman Empire - some parallel to US but some not.

"The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" by Gibbon, for instance, runs to thousands of pages in 6 volumes. I guess he could have saved himself a lot of hard work if he'd only lived in the era of simplistic sound bites.

Does that include illegals? Look at Germany and - the rest of Europe.

people and corporations with deep pockets, who in turn hide their profits to avoid paying taxes, then pay slave wages to their employees, who then require public assistance to survive. Wake up!

Nor teachers and labor unions, or foreign money,etc. They are called - factions and talked about in the Federalist

[ In Reply To ..]
Papers. There's no way Bernie is going stop any of that.

Foreign money I agree 100%. sm - oldtimer

[ In Reply To ..]
However, teachers and other unions are actual individual citizens. If Citizens United were overturned and Wall Street/corporate donations disallowed, I would be OK with disallowing unions to contribute. That is what I love about Bernie's campaign. All the millions of small donations are just amazing! His supporters actually enjoy donating small amounts frequently. Even with my frequent donations, I will never reach the maximum $2700. Remember that when corporations donate, many of the stockholders in those corporations are foreigners.

Look at all the big corporations that give to the Democrat Party. They give to - both parties because they expect

favors in return.

I do agree that Bernie is raising an impressive amount of money from small donations, as is Ted Cruz, and they are both antiestablishment. Most of Hillary's big donors are banks and corporations, while Bernie's come from labor unions.

Cruz is beholden to Goldman-Sachs. - nm

Does that include the press as a corporation? The first amendment - mentions the press.

I think we're seeing the demise of the Republic. - We already have a post-Constitutional

Clinton vs Sanders/Lenin vs. Trotsky. A demise - definitely. A collectivist civil war

They really need to move the Democratic National Convention from Philadelphia to Chicago. Pennsylvania has enough problems without a repeat of 1968.

We used to have an old saying that if you don't believe in the resurrection of the dead, just look at the voter registration rolls when Willie Brown was mayor.

Did you know that the Humane Society of the United States does not directly support ANY animal shelters, or any of your local Humane Society groups? Learned this on Brownfield Ag News. It is mainly a political machine, masquerading as an umbrella organization, who believes that eating meat leads to animal cruelty. I was shocked. I believe most people, like me, would assume that the organization is financially supporting local shelters, or directly helping animals, not just ...

It's had a century of almost uninterrupted rule by a corrupt Democrat machine, and can no longer be relied upon to actually pay lotto winners. Blame Blagojevich and the pension plan. All the money that is collected in taxes in Illinois now goes to pay pensions, so the state just raised taxes. I am so disgusted with Illino ...
