It is best to take the successful aspects of each system and get them working together well, creating a blend of the best ideas, and this what I believe.

When has a country ever moved right on that line?

Never. The only way to move to the right is a revolution, or the country just failing. Then, the slide left starts all over again.

The reason it always slides to the left, is moving left means the people in power get more power. Never in the history of the world has giving government more power been better for the people of that country.

The US will move to the left, and fail. Just like every other country. Even the creators of our country knew this. The best we can hope for is to slow that move down as much as possible. Making a huge jump over a 4 to 8 year span is a horrible idea.

Im pretty sure my country did, and there was no revolution.

One example of a country getting better when the government was given more power was pretty much every single one of them. See, some government is pretty much always better than no government you know police, military, enforcement of contracts, money, legal systems etc.

Move to the left and fail, huh? So help me out here, are we talking socialism? communism? marxism? communalism? hippyism? Because I hope you realise that America is wayyyyyyyy to the right of most other nations in the world, so therefore it would have to jump a long way to the left before it would reach that threshold of failing if there are other countries which have successfully hovered over them for so long.
