Who says it doesn't? The only possibly effective voice of criticism on issues such as this... issues that bother me greatly... is the Democratic Party, which is doing a terrible job of playing their part. It aggravates the piss out me, and it upsets me to see smart folks such as Max hyping each and every doomed attempt they make to re-take their political glory through trickery and deceit instead of trying to earn it back.
Have any suggestions for them? People are uneasy about the war, and they seem to be at least a bit unsettled by this NSA stuff. Should the Democrats say nothing about it?

The only way the Democrats will ever end their downward spiral looks more and more like one of two options: 1. Become something that it's increasingly apparent they are not, or 2. Wait around until the Republicans implode. They have seemingly realized actual leadership and integrity is either beyond their grasp or useless to them, so they've opted to catalyze option
Well, #2 is basically the way every "out" party has regained power throughout the course of our political history. :/ That, and also by offering new ideas and methods of governance. I happen to agree with you that they're not doing enough of the latter, but let's be honest, you wouldn't support those ideas anyway, would you?

Why do I always find myself reminding you that I do not like ANYTHING government does? What part of libertarian crank do you find so hard to grasp, man?
Well I get the crank part.....
