Does America have the oldest government on Earth?

What do you call it when you don't let the stupid people vote?

Oligarchy, I guess.

Dictatorship. "Stupid people" in politics are those that disagree with the views of the person labeling them stupid. If they would just shut up and quit voting then all would be Nirvana. What progressives call "dumb Americans" are nothing more than people that disagree with their political agenda. How dare them take to the streets and protest what they disagree with, evidently dissent ceased to be "the highest form of patriotism" January 21, 2009. It is now nothing more than a bunch of "dumb Americans" resisting what is good for them and can be cured by not allowing stupid people to vote.

Not exactly.
While I do think the people that disagree with me politically are stupid, I still think very much they should vote.
What I do have a problem with is people who don't know what they are voting for. People who vote for the party member they see on the ticket- people who vote because of race- people who vote because somebody can speak.

Hmm what happened with Canada in the war of 1812?

The U.S. vs. the British fought to a stalemate.
