    I'm having a bit of trouble understanding what exactly is the thought behind this thread. Can you help me out? I'd say that most people on the right don't hate our form of government and if they do they hate the first part of that. Those on the left would hate the second part of that. Personally for me on the right I appreciate the second part of that because it minimizes the effects that the first part would have.

    Yeah, that's not really true at all.
