Aside from Republicans, only the very careless and barely literate use 'Democrat' as an adjective. And TRN isn't producing these interviews under any deadline pressure, which rules out carelessness. {sigh} I suppose I should contribute if I plan to complain to the source...

I'd go for "very careless" and "Canadian" here.

It is disgusting that the media made the three candidates who actually care about American principles and values appear to be fringe candidates from the onset of the campaigns, while assigning star quality, (both negative and positive,) to the candidates who are owned by the same people the news media are.

The cost of television advertising and the Supreme Court decision that attributed property rights to free speech are two factors that are destroying the United States. What will the new name be? The Mercenary States of the North Western Hemisphere? The Nationalist Corporate States of North America? The Every Man for Himself Capitalist Union? The Northern States Capitalist Monopoly? The Killer Klowns of North American Capitalism? The Capitalist/Fascist Empire?

I can imagine the battle cry on the front lines as American soldiers attack machine gun nests, "Never give a sucker an even break," "Give Me Money or Give Me Death," "I regret that I have but one piece of property to give for my country," "I do not agree with what you say, and I'll be damned if I'll defend your right to say it," "Give me liberty. Do not ask me to die for it." "The Socialists are coming; the socialists are coming," "Some of us are more equal than others," "Light 'em up, troops," and "Get your asses out there and fight, ________ ." Fill in the blank with plebes, serfs, conscripts, paid volunteers, cannon fodder, scabs, flunkies, mercenaries, whatever. Something is lost in the translation of principles.
