Estamos a la puerta de las elecciones intermedias en EUA, y el gobierno de Barack Obama, en términos de verdad y eficacia en su gestión como gobernante se pone a prueba, y las encuestas muestran una inminente derrota de los demócratas con la pérdida de la mayoría requerida no sólo en el senado, sino también ahora en la cámara.
La guerra externa y la recesión interna, que no pocos se resisten a denominar depresión, con su carga de melancolía que se distribuye generosamente entre la clase media, no alcanza a mover la maltrecha balanza comercial estadounidense, y en cambio, si hay una guerra menos civilizada, entre las monedas más poderosas, el dólar y el yuan. La paz perpetua imaginada por Kant palidece entre el escila y el caribdis del comercio mundial capitalista.
Aquí adjuntamos una muestra del electorado que le dará el triunfo al partido republicano al comienzo de noviembre, aprovechando el envío de Luis Mejía. Es una muestra que corresponde al estado de Iowa. N de la R.
The Iowa Republican Party's platform is found at:

It mixes lots of nonsense and a few [very very few] rational statements. here is a sample of the former:
The function of law is to protect the free exercise of a person’s God-given rights: life, liberty, and the right to property (pursuit of happiness).
We call for the repeal of all mandatory minimum-wage laws.
We call for reinstating, with proper safeguards, the death penalty for murderers, rapists, kidnappers, and drug dealers, with a firm limit of twenty-four months for appeals and no intrusion of federal authorities.
We believe that claims of human-caused global warming are based on fraudulent, inaccurate information, and that legislation and policy based on this information are detrimental to the well-being of the United States.
We believe all individuals and business owners have the freedom to choose the quality of air in their homes and establishments.
We call for the elimination of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
We support the elimination of the Iowa Department of Education and of the U.S. Department of Education.
We support the abolition of the IRS.
We call for the repeal of the Federal Reserve Act, eliminating the Federal Reserve, and we support returning to the gold and/or silver standard.
We believe candidates running as Republicans for any local or state office should be required to complete and return to the Republican Party of Iowa a signed questionnaire indicating whether the candidate agrees, disagrees, or is undecided about each plank of the current party platform.
