I see it from an optimistic light. We've got things pretty good in the US. It's why people are trying to sneak across the border in droves-- everybody recognizes the economic opportunities. It's true that the pendulum swings back and forth. The Democrats control things (as they do now), they make some changes to fulfill campaign promises and they over-reach in a few spots. People always want something better, so they soon vote for Republicans. Who pass things they campaigned on, roll back some Democrat over-reaches, and do a little over-reaching themselves. Then the Democrats come back into power..... The system works. Along the way, we get social changes like gay marriage, maybe some long overdue restrictions on late-term abortions, etc. Society slowly moves forward. I just wish there wasn't as much demonization and pot-stirring along the way. There's really no need to throw hate at people actross the aisle, because without them your party would soon run amuck and ruin everything. The system works.
