“All government, in its essence, is a conspiracy against the superior man: its one permanent object is to oppress him and cripple him. If it be aristocratic in organization, then it seeks to protect the man who is superior only in law against the man who is superior in fact; if it be democratic, then it seeks to protect the man who is inferior in every way against both. One of its primary functions is to regiment men by force, to make them as much alike as possible and as dependent upon one another as possible, to search out and combat originality among them. All it can see in an original idea is potential change, and hence an invasion of its prerogatives. The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable, and so, if he is romantic, he tries to change it. And even if he is not romantic personally he is very apt to spread discontent among those who are.”

The Invention of Modern Slavery Called Democracy

Democracy is disrespectful of and to the Individual- oh, a democratic republic is an oxymoron.
A representative republic is what we are- hence we elect representatives- that aside, the article points out where we are as a Country-

So Lessee:

• Trump is ruining the country by pulling out of Syria getting our boys out of a war and saving billions of dollars.
• Liberals get their news from LOTS of (undisclosed) news sources but not Fox which they know is all propaganda because they've never watched it.
• Tards take obvious fake memes as real events then tell us WE are brainwashed dolts.
• Lefties write off and dismiss all evidence of their guilt as being mere untrue made up propaganda.
• Progressives site their own violence at Trump rallies as "proof" that Trump rallies are violent by making them so.
• The Left are ready to admit that a VP using influence to pull personal favors in another country for personal gain is kinda swampy and move on (forgive and forget), and move on to impeaching a president for trying to expose said personal favors so they can then put the old VP in charge as the new president.
• Democrats admit one of their best candidates is totally lackluster and stands no chance of beating Trump?
• Those poor Kurds over in Syria. You know, the same ones the USA has left 15 times before. Did I mention Trump left those poor Kurds over in Syria?

What's most amazing is that if you weren't hearing it from little wind up dolls on the street, you'd think you were hearing the exact same bull from little wind up dolls here!

Most monopolies in the U.S. are accomplished due to fascist partnerships between government and its rulers in banking and corporate America. The monopoly of force held by government and its controlled agents in the military, allows for unlimited aggressive war

So Trumpers are anti-government of any sort

and anti-democracy

You fuckers ought to pay attention to the title of this stupid thread.

You may not like it...but government and democracy is what makes this country great

Without either...it's Somalia or a second rate dictatorship...like...Russia

Democracy devolves into anarchy-via-bureaucracy....The Framers knew this....It's pretty much what we have today, and cement heads like you two are cheering it on.

"The invention of slavery called democracy"?

Start with the beginning, continue through the middle, and on to the end.

Those are the parts I have problems with.

Start with what exactly is incorrect in your opinion.

Democracy is slavery?

Welcome to 1984...where newspeak means words have no real meaning

secede?

have you thought about this even a little?


secede?

your one state from all the others?

your state plus any other states that agree with you?

what if those states are not contiguous?

what about liberals/democrats living in your state?
what would happen to them?
lose their rights?
lose their privileges?
lose their property?
lose their lives?

what about the military?
and weapons?

divide them evenly?

SInce you hate liberals and democrats so much that you want to start a civil war and kill most of them is there any possibility that you, in your new country, could live in peace and harmony with a liberal USA as your neighbors?

If you secede, start a new Conservative Christian Confederacy of America....
and russia attacks the old liberal USA......would you sit back and laugh as liberals were slaughtered by russians or would you actually join in and help the russians?
