Could this be the future for the United States?

I don't know whether to laugh, or cry.  :lmao:

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

It would be hilarious if it weren't so frightening!

You mean Youtube?  :-)

I watched this movie a while back and, after years of reading DU, see a lot of parallels.

That's from the movie Idiocracy. Funny movie, but sad. It is a documentary. In many ways, what happens in Idiocracy is happening today. People who talk properly are looked down, especially in ghettos and trailer parks. Also, there is the dumbing down of the education system, which likely happened.
