We Must Protect This Nation from the Folly of Democracy

[berg80]

I continually underestimate what they're told in their world.

It's an alternate reality that will eventually bring down the country.

 

[berg80]

Well that statement was patronizingly pathetic. We have a Democratic-Republic, we use Democratic means to elect representation for the Republic.

The pseudo intellectual fascination with the concept of a republic is simply a means by which they try to justify minority rule.

 

[Crepitus]

We are not a democracy according to the CIA World Facebook.

Don't care. It's still a Democracy.

I still don't expect Democrats to accept that America is NOT a democracy, but we can hope

What's the point of the thread? You single out D's. But Trump promises to fire 70% of govt workers who are protected by civil service. And that's just a start. And not to mention the Jan 6 "thing." Anything you accuse the Ds of, the gop is at least as bad. So I chalk you up to partisanship.

The key behind Democracy is how the Economy will function.

Democracy + Private Ownership = Capitalism
Democracy + Public Ownership = Socialism
Dictatorship + Private Ownership = Fascism
Dictatorship + Public Ownership = Communism

Only the first one applies in this country, fool.

I can easily prove udderwise.
Take MSNBC's most Radical Biden apologist.
10 pm host Lawrence O'Donnell.About a decade ago he
went public with a statement most any Democrat would not
dare to utter.He Confessed { On Hardball } and other places since
that he was a Socialist..
" The worst enemies of the new radicals are
the old liberals. "
-- Lenin { Vladimir Ilyrich Ulyanov }

The downfall of our political system is that average every day people are excluded from running for office and we are left with choices like we have right now.

So O'Donnell claims he was socialist. What is that supposed to prove about democracy?

Some compromise. …

Is the United States a Republic or a Democracy?

The United States of America is governed as a federal republic, and therefore some argue that the U.S. is not a democracy. Learn more about the government of the US.

I guess you haven't Heard about Mark Levin's best seller :
- The Democrat Party Hates AMERICA -
And prior to that :
- American Marxism -
Levin's Best Seller status is proof enough for Many
Americans.

The United States is a Democracy.

The United States is a Democracy.

It is definitely not a pure Democracy. We can thank God and possibly Ben Franklin for that.

Nobody is claiming that.

A pure Democracy was incredibly impractical in a country the size of the USA even during the founders days. Communication was too slow.

Nevertheless, a Democracy it is.

That is like calling a gun magazine a clip.

Plus the truly honest answer is that today we live in a banana republic.

Nope, not since we got rid of the tRumpsters.

I don't read magaturd news. How does this prove.. actually, never mind. It is a complete waste of time reading your comments.

 

[Foolardi]

Democracy Means ... Never having to Say yer { Sorry } a Republican.
Thank Erich Segal - Love Story - { 1970 }.
Segal wrote the Novel after The Movie ... BTW.
" Love means never having to say you're sorry. "

Anything else you wanna unload from your preoccupation
over being a belligerent Leftist!

 

[BluesLegend]

WTF?
Every democratic country on earth votes for their president or leader, directly from the voters.........except America.

We know what Dems mean by DEMocracy...MOB rule of a simple majority.
