Democracies are indeed inherently evil and transitional.

What an astonishing statement. Are you saying that a dictatorship is "non-evil"? Can you cite an example?

Democracies, for all their flaws, have brought prosperity to nations. Dictatorships have brought nothing but ruin. You may want to check the scriptures for this.

First we forsake God, then we forsake our liberty. Even with God warning us, we refuse to listen. One has to wonder what is the mindset here.

I've been taking Natural Law's meaning of the word "democracy" to be the pure form - where every voter votes on every decision in which case we would have mob rule.

I prefer a constitutional republic.

results in all manner of TYRANNY
