Good read on why pundits were wrong

Easy. It's not. A revolution is where the political order of a nation is overthrown in a short period of time. We are seeing reforms and changes to our political process that are simply part of the process and always have been. The political order is still in place and doing just fine. The political process is sure going through a bump in the road but that's not a revolution. We are still a constitutional republic and no serious political party in this nation is advocating that we be something else. Now demanding that we be something else, thatis a different form of government, would be Revolutionary.

I only know of one person who is calling for Revolution. Skidmark, and one man does not a Revolution make. If you don't believe me just ask Skidmark how much success he's had in overthrowing Mississippi!

Oh God Darth...you really need to read some books on political science just so you'll understand why we roll our eyes at some of the dumb things you say. I would suggest starting with Machiavelli's the Prince. The Art of War would be my second suggestion. Plato's Republic would be third. Those are introductory books. Will teach you the basics. For more advance reading I would suggest "The Social Contract" by Rousseau. The Federalist Papers by Hamilton, Jay and Madison. Democracy in American (DeTocqueville) and for more contemporary reading The Origins of the Political Order (Fukuyama) and Manufacturing Consent (Noam Chomsky).

To also force you to understand that their are different ways to view government and economics you should probably read the Communist Manifesto (Marx) and Challengers to Capitalism (Gurley).

I mean you're a bright guy but when you make comments like this then political operatives just nod their head with a Cheshire grin and say "Yup...we hooked another prole who doesn't have a clue what were up to.".

The day my wife is as stupid as you I'll listen to you but since that is probably never going to happen what the hell is your point?

You claim she's smart yet she married you. That's a contradiction like no other. Tells me she's either not that smart or you're lying about how smart she is.
