From Dave Dubya:
As often happens, my response to a couple comments under the previous post expanded into a post in itself. It’s only proper to question claims as serious as “failed state” and “police state”. Further discussion was indeed warranted, and is still welcomed.
Let’s present the content here instead of in a long thread.

Tyrell (TP):
From failed state to police state, huh? I don’t think so, my friend.
While leftists have done what they could to either ignore or undermine our constitution (yes, some militant right-wingers are also guilty), America is still not a failed state. Even for Americans of color, there is more prosperity, opportunities, and freedom in America than nearly anywhere else in the world.
Further, if the Democrats were to recapture the White House and both chambers of congress, this would not become a police state either, since the Democrats are seemingly bound and determined to eliminate the police in most major metropolitan areas. That, of course, is another knee-jerk reaction, the ramifications of which has not evidently occurred to these brilliant leaders of ours.

Oh, I’m waiting with bated breath on a further elaboration on how “leftists” ignore or undermine the Constitution AS WELL as reconciling the ongoing demonstrations with the phrase “Even for Americans of color, there is more prosperity, opportunities, and freedom in America’, TP.

I thank the gentlemen for their remarks.
It’s always revealing that our conservative friends are so reluctant to cite any of my points or opinions offered, and provide facts or information that contradicts them.
I suppose they think just stating their beliefs accomplishes that.
I, too, would love to see further elaboration, and of course evidence, to support TP’s assertions. Historically the pattern would indicate none will be forthcoming.
