What kind of govt is it called when 1 sheep can tell 100 wolves to fuck off?SmarterThanYou said:Democracy is two wolves & 1 sheep voting on what's for dinner.

"Constitutional rights may not be infringed simply because the majority of the people choose that they be." -U.S. Supreme Court in Westbrook v. Mihaly 2 C3d 756gop_jeff said:I still don't understand what the no voting, sheep are armed thing means... sorry. I have heard the democracy analogy though!

part of those constitutional rights are representation. Whats gone on the last 16 years has been nothing short of ignoring the rights of the minority. It's what sets off civil wars.
I'd even settle for a description of who this mistreated minority is!manu1959 said:Exactly which Constitutional rights of the minorty have been ignored?
A simple bullet point list of the top five would suffice.
every time an amendment is summarily voted down along party lines with no compromise or 'give and take', every time the party in power pushes through it's agenda with no thought to the minority, thats when the minority rights are ignored. To claim that the minority still has representation when the majority does everything their way is the purest form of tyranny.manu1959 said:Exactly which Constitutional rights of the minorty have been ignored?
