Kakistocracy in America
Edited on Fri Nov-02-07 10:35 PM by MN Against Bush
kakistocracy (kak·is·toc·ra·cy) n.
Government by the least qualified or most unprincipled citizens; a form of government in which the worst persons are in power.


Our government is being run by the very worst our society has to offer.

It is being run by those who would sacrifice our planet to global warming so that they may make greater profits for Exxon today.

It is being run by those who would sacrifice a child's right to health care in order to please the insurance lobbyists.

It is being run by those who would let an unelected pResident break the law and face no accountability.

It is being run by those that told us there were Weapons of Mass Destruction and we needed to take a cakewalk into Iraq to disarm them before we could have a celebration under a "Mission Accomplished" banner.

It is being run by those who would allow corporate lobbyists to take jobs at government agencies like the FDA and the Department of Agriculture overseeing the very industries they are supposed to regulate.

It is being run by those that torture in cruel and sadistic ways.

It is being run by those who would deny citizens equal rights.

It is being run by those would make our children be stuck paying the tab for our illegal wars.

It is being run by bigots who will work actively to prevent minority groups from achieving equal rights.

Our country is being run by the worst people in society.

This is not a democracy.

This is a kakistocracy.
