No....it resembles America perfectly. YOU are simply a
part of America, as am I. And currently we're in the minority. Get over it.

Me neither.
Party bickering and one "standing defiantly" in the way of the other was NOT part of the founding father's plan. In fact, they wanted NO parties. The Three branches are the core of the checks and balances system. (and to a lesser extent, the media -- the fourth unoffical branch exposes corruption and untruths in the other three.)

Again, it takes some humility to realize that we are but a PART of the country as a whole, and we're not "right", we simply live by different priorities.

That's slander and totally wrong. Look up and understand the definitions the political philosophies, then try and say what you just said, again.
The founding father's laid the groundwork for change in gov't; evolution. They were wise enough to know that one-size doesn't fit all. And I don't think they had AIG, Freddie Mac back then...for the final time, because I cannot stress this enough -- The current gov't was elected as per the rules and regulations set forth by the founding fathers and preserved for the past ~240 years. That is as close as you can come, bud. If you don't agree with the current philosophy, then you are in the minority. The election was a relative land-slide, and approval ratings are sky high. Being in the minority is not a bad thing, you're not in the wrong...But you're not "right" either.
