Never has, never will be. It is a democratic republic. ENORMOUS difference. I consider it supportive that someone outside the USA is "drawing the line". The buck has to stop somewhere. The sooner the s*it hits the fan, the better. The damage caused by excess corporate influence is one place that needs a line drawn, and politicians willing to join in creating collateral damage against their own people in some demented and wrong idea of real security is another ("hey, son, you have a wart on that finger, better amputate the arm").
