Wow such rose colored glasses you have. I wish i had such glasses. You infer in the presentation of this question that all those things are good things that everyone agreees on, and that they are also being run well. Also, Do you think that none of those things would exist without bipartisan support over the years? You do know Congress funds all those things and half congress is republicans?

Of course you are well aware i could get a list of positive things republicans have done as well over the years, I could also make a list of all the disasters and suffering the dems have helped cause over the years. But what would be the point as you have access to Google just like I do. It would make no more sense than this post does. It would be partisanism for the sake of partisanism.

The two party system is a control mechanism to confine our minds. Good people do good things regardless of party affiliation and are willing to work with one another to make good things happen. Do you think if left to go unchecked by people with different world views, upbringings, and opinions the democrats would have built some kind of utopia by now? If you do, then you are not a good student of human nature, nor have you read up on the recent 20th century horrors of unchecked socialist ideology.

Both parties have been involved in some great things we all benefit from. But it isn't the parties that do these things, it's the good people within them. If you are upset with where the country is right now, remember it's both wings of the same corrupt sick bird that got us here.
