"political theories intersects with political realities."
Political theory: Our government is working hard to secure and protect our rights and always altruistically has our best interest in mind.
Political Reality: The government is driving the nails into our collective coffin at break neck speed, Self serving, and the people they purportedly are there to serve, are getting shafted.
Intersection? There is none. At least, if we are talking about political theory as taught by today's colleges and universities.
political reality will never replace nationalism, especially in Europe.
The decline in the middle class is due in part to the off shoring of jobs, annual immigration quotas, our broken educational system, and the cradle to grave mentality fostered by big government. Best way to improve employment is to roll back some regulations, lower taxes on corps and individuals, get back to the basic education tools that help one to gain employment, entice overseas companies to return, and get American industry back up and competitive both nationally and internationally. This must be done to improve the economy and maintain national security. Perfect example is manufacturing of chips, etc that are currently manufactured in China – an unfriendly nation.
"Theory or Reality", comes in the form of the Board of Elections for the State of New Hampshire. This, Friday – Novenber 18th, the Board of Elections will conduct a hearing as to whether Barack H. Obama's name will appear on the ballot of the State of New Hampshire for President. A formal complaint was entered only days ago by Dr. Orly Taitz with several State Representatives signing onto the complaint. These, "Green Mountain Boy's" do not seem to wasting anytime to determine whether Mr. Obama is eligible for the Presidency this time around. Breaking News !!!!! http://www.orlytaitzesq.com/?p=27785
