America is a 'CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC,' not a Democracy...

It used to be and unless we take our country back towards it, we can kiss it good bye

You ever notice every Democrat calls us a Democracy?

 

[Discombobulated]

Stupid premise.....as if the two were somehow mutually exclusive.

Two reasons why, one, because that's what they want, and two, because it sounds like democrat.

But it will be this push for MOB RULE, which is democracy, that will cause another Civil War sooner or later. The further we get away from the constitution, the closer we are to anarchy/civil war, and it's coming. When the government can no longer pay the interest on the debt, and the FED Q.E. pumping of the stock market ceases, the economy will crash like nothing ever seen before, and it will take the majority of world economies with it. Then we'll see total anarchy. It'll be the darkest days this nation has ever seen, even worse than the first Civil War years. I think we need it.

Oh I'm sorry the video left you "Discombobulated," but perhaps that's why you call yourself that.

Well I'm afraid it's already dumbed down so that a first grader could understand it so, you'll just have to be embarrassed for being so stupid.

Perhaps you're just a little too slow to understand that democracy is one component of a constitutional republic......they are not mutually exclusive.

Perhaps you're too stupid to understand that the point of the thread is not about "components," it's purely to point out that we are a "CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC," and not a democracy.

Do you get it now that it's been pointed out to you TWICE, moron?

 

[Discombobulated]

And Nazis and Fascists were far right, your video doesn't change history. Right wing is defined as ultra conservative and reactionary....there is no controversy about that.

And I'm saying your video is a completely fucking stupid piece of dog shit.

"America is a 'CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC,' not a Democracy..."

A fact most on the right fail to understand, with conservatives advocating nonsense about the majority deciding who will or will not have his civil rights, such as not allowing same-sex couples access to marriage law, or compelling a woman to give birth against her will.

And there is a difference between "democracy" and "a democracy", but you're too busy insulting people to think of that.

Feel free to provide historic examples of "a democracy".

Can't think of any.

You're the one who made the point, not me.

The speaker doesn't really deny the "fascism is far Right" view, he just suggests that a different approach is more enlightening. But the theory is that communism is rule by ALL, for the benefit of ALL, and Fascism is rule by the few elite, for the benefit of the elite. The conclusion, practically speaking, is that every system ends up being an oligarchy, and the advantage of the American system is that just about anyone can become an oligarch, with a little luck and hard work. People with the humblest of backgrounds can (and do) become wealthy and/or politically powerful. Look at Bill Clinton, Barry Obama, and Bill Gates.

The premise that within a Republic exists a democracy is valid within the context that Constitutional law remains intact. The gradual evolution toward politicized interpretation versus strict interpretation of the Constitution, primarily Bill of Rights, has placed the rights of its citizens at risk. Pure democracy governed by popular vote provides a dangerous vehicle whereby a simple majority can usurp the original premise of personal Freedom, property rights, and ownership as pointed out by Alexis de Tocqeville in the 19th century. The Centralization of Power away from the states to the federal government further erodes and places the Republic and rights of its citizens at risk. Those that advocate pure Democracy do so with the understanding that ones rights will be ruled by popular vote and the Constitution which established the Republic, designed to protect individual rights would be worthless. The founding fathers understood this concept and furthermore recognized the importance of the Constitution as the key central document that would provide the colonies the insurance required to unite under one government for the common good.

Fascism is not far right, never was, National Socialist movements are proponents of governments based on centralized power and control over of all economic aspects and its masses. At the turn of the 20th century the progressive and socialist factions within the US, for effect, erroneously labeled the right or conservative political faction as Fascist, however when one digs below the surface the truth is exposed. The USSR was a fascist oligarchy ruled by a select few within the party, governed by party law, and their little manifesto, designed to cement absolute power over the people.

 

[Staidhup]

The greatest enemy of socialism, communism, and fascism, is religion and free market based economy.

Oddly, the majority of posters here who try to make a case for the U.S. being a democracy are RWrs, whining about how they cannot just majority vote away the rights of their fellow citizens.

Good luck. Our Public School System is a joke at this point. All the kids get now is 'How to be a good Communist Democrat' indoctrination. Most Americans are completely clueless on issues like this. But hey, nice try. Thanks.
