Not to be a downer, but Thomas Jefferson was actually one of the most partisan politicians of his time. He frequently got into arguments with Alexander Hamilton over the size and role of the Federal Government. So bringing him back would only add to the political rhetoric we currently see.

As for our country, yes I want to see everyone work together, but the nature of politics is for them to disagree and figure out policy around those disagreements. With the police state I fail to see your point, probably because my liberalness biases me but here are a few things I would consider things common in a police state:

1. 24 Hour Tracking and surveillance. Practically unconstitutional according the Supreme Court. Police can only monitor in public places, which is common sense since anyone can monitor you.

2. National/Secret Police Force. Does not exist. The FBI and CIA are intelligence agencies and have limited range, especially on US Citizens.

3. Omnipresent Military. Our military is under civilian control and is designed to be that way. They are limited in what they can do and how they act. Plus it is all volunteers, who willingly give their lives for this country.

As for London, the British have always had issues with the Police, it's just in their nature to not like them. Here, not so much. We don't mind the police as long as they are limited in scope, which they are. 

On a side note, the joke was funny. 

You have some good points. But how come people are labeling militas as "Terriorists"? They're basically the national guard. They're not really part of the military but they're like resistance fighters 

I love historical jokes I'm a total history buff.

I agree with you about politics, but sadly I don't see any change coming anytime soon. We do have a government which is ever expanding beyond its established boundaries, and our government has largely lost any sort of meaningful connection with the duty of serving the people.

I definitely see what you mean about the police too. I've been complaining about them for years.
