The government supports Bush's illegal wars.<br /><br />The people don't want to give billions of Euros to bail out banker criminals. The government does just that.<br /><br />The people don't want the total surveillance state. The government is building it.<br /><br />The people want to have a say in what happens. The government turns over more and more control to the antidemocratic unelected EU commission.<br /><br />So if this is the definition of democracy, how is dictatorship different?<br />Is the difference that in a "democracy", there's elections (even if you can only pick between 2 parties with nearly identical agendas)?<br />East Germany had elections... How is it different?<br /><br />Those teenagers have never even seen a proper democracy, but they keep being told they live in one. It's not a surprise they can't tell it apart from a dictatorship.Bush is a Nazihttp://www.whatreallyhappened.com/noreply@blogger.com
