Democracy for the Few

Poll question: Democracy for the Few

The decision by the Gang of Five at the Supreme Court is more proof that Michael Parenti nailed the American Political System in his seminal work Democracy for the Few.

3. I'm not sure what you are talking about...

...since I am not familiar with Michael Parenti.

I do have something to say on a similar subject, though. I was watching Matthews last night (it looks like the wind has changed, and he's singing a different tune). Pat Buchanan said that the election in Massachusetts was a victory for democracy. Really? REALLY? The Democrats control the presidency, Senate, and House, yet can't get anything passed because it takes more than simply 51 votes to pass anything in the Senate.

That seems an outright affront to democracy.

4. Good post

Here's a link to Parenti. I read the book as an undergraduate and have bought a new copy every time he updated it. Every thinking person should own a copy.
