The USA is not a democracy. It is a Constitutional Republic. Democracy is mob / majority rule. If we were a democracy, Hillary Clinton would be POTUS.

Long live the Republic.

Democracy is 2 Wolves and a Sheep deciding what is for dinner.
Liberty is that sheep packing a rifle.

That's what's known as an educated idiot - and I've seen plenty of them in my lifetime.

We are NOT a democracy. If we were, it would be a good thing for it to die.

Yes, you’re right, we are not a democracy. I often fall prey to the conflation of self-government with democracy.

I actually agree with this. Only, who wants to shut down information? Places like WaPo are always railing against FOX, or talk radio, or the internet. I guess it is not just the light, but the color of that light that matters to them.

America’s 2016 Declaration Of Independence
Canada Free Press ^ | 02/22/17 | Dave Merrick

Posted on 2/22/2017, 8:59:18 AM by Sean_Anthony

President is the TARGET of the most dangerous group of EXTREMISTS on earth: our liberal press, television/entertainment

The left’s HATRED of Donald Trump has gone beyond ‘art form’ and has progressed into a sick competition to win approval from fellow Trump haters and the liberal news-media/entertainment industry that have invented the new sport of Trump HATE. It’s quite obvious that the object of that HATE is to chastise the Donald and anyone who dared to act like a FREE AMERICAN.

Just as I had diagrammed it in my last article, Trump HATE is gaining momentum with each morning’s freshly disparaging headlines and talk shows. If you haven’t read it, you should. “The Stepford Americans” (Canada Free Press). It clearly illustrates how liberal news-media and entertainment have for decades been progressively shaping the attitudes of their consumer-audiences in priming them for whoever will buy their mesmerized allegiance. And now, as a result, our President is the TARGET of the most dangerous group of EXTREMISTS on earth: our liberal press, television/entertainment. And through their actions and ‘journalism’, who can deny that they have issued what is tantamount to a deadly fatwa on our president.

I’ve been worried about the Republic dying for the last eight years.

The headline should reead “Mob Rule is dying”.

Laughable from probably the worst news outlet out there, even worse than the NY Slimes when it comes to President Trump.
