“This is a democracy not a dictatorship.”

Um, no. It’s not!

Independence Day Primer.

In case you don’t know the difference; A REPUBLIC is representative government ruled by law (The Constitution). A DEMOCRACY is direct government ruled by the majority (mob rule). A REPUBLIC recognizes the inalienable rights of INDIVIDUALS while DEMOCRACIES are only concerned with group wants or needs.

A ‘Democracy’ is the next best thing TO a Dictatorship!

Yes, I know. But as we near Independence Day, people NEED to understand the difference. Especially our elected officials who play fast and lose with their words!
