Restricting Violent Speech

You're wrong.

I lived through that same period. There is no difference. None. Perhaps you perceive this based on what is being fed to you outside the US, but I've actually participated in every election since Carter (and watched those before with some interest).

It's not worse. It's just not.

BTW, your comments about propriety and manners are actually pretty funny to me. Point of information for you. The US Congress uses a modification of Robert's Rules of Order. We learn this in school, and operate clubs, student government, and everything else based upon this. Watch the UK Parliament some time. It's a madhouse and seems incredibly uncivil to Americans with all the shouting and lack of order.

Your picture of American democracy is seriously screwy compared to those of us who actually participate in it. I'd not condescend to tell you about the way German democracy works, you'd do well to do likewise, you are completely out of your depth.
