    That stands as much chance as does your 'second revolution'. But it doesn't say much as your American dream, other than intolerance.

    The American Dream is Freedom. It's found by giving freedom to others.

    I mean any black that is reasonabe and Conservative stands a great chance to enter our kingdom...for the Lord sayeth, enter you Conservatives black and white all. But the good Lord didn't mention the phonies and blasphemies like sharpton and jackson when he created his political segregation template. Perhaps the good Lord left a back door open for the likes of a sharpton and jackson so that they coud take a swim in the Lake of Fire.

    So I assume it's a totalitarian and conformist neighbourhood where everyone must have similar political affiliation. Everyone who is not conservative goes to hell? Is that it?

    It was mostly an economic dream of rising from poverty into the middle class.

    The American Dream is to live in a society where you can control your own destiny through your own individual choices, skills and talents.

    In America...a person is respected for their acheivements where in some nations a person is respected only if they were born in certain families and certain classes.

    People have a much easier time transitioning from lower to upper class here.

    Obama achieved the Presidency. I don't see much respect there.

    The "American Dream" is the ability to prosper in a free society.

    It doesn't exist.
