He just let the cat out of the bag.

Just like I’ve been trying to tell everyone, Hillary is running third party.

Dean is projecting. His comment describes ‘progressives’ perfectly.

You know, it is funny how people in other countries say they do not like us and yet if given the chance, many of those same people would move here in a second.

IN A NEW YORK MINUTE they would move here.
Lol. I guess it shows how hypocritical people can be.

I don’t want a Democracy government. I would prefer a constitutional Republic like we have.

Authoritarian Democrats reject our constitutional Republic of government because they think people are too stupid to be free and need centralized control and monitoring over every aspect of their thought and lives.

huh?

liberals are advocating that the president start acting like a king and bypass congress to grant amnesty... and I even saw one article yesterday that urged the president to throw dissenters into JAIL! including congressmen!

And Dean is accusing US of not fundamentally believing in Democracy!?!?!?!

In one respect i agree with him....

...people who fundamentally don't believe in democracy...

Democracy is just mob rule. We are called Republicans for a reason.

Just don't expect the 'gruberized' public to grasp the difference. And that may be the heart of the problem.

I feel really sorry for anyone this fool ever treated as a doctor. The treatment was probably as insane as he is. What a classic LIB/DIM loon.

Poor Howard! After all the un-democratic, unconstitutional scandals of his party that last six years, he feels a need to project.

Who used the IRS and other agencies to quash opposition? Who used the EPA to stomp on business and commerce? Who used Obamacare to impose restrictions on healthcare choices?

The list goes on.

I think he’s trying to atone to his base for last week’s ‘elitist’ comment.

When did he become so inflexible? Was that always his nature?

He has mental health issues. I'm not kidding. At his son's hockey games he would become so incensed, screaming and ranting, that people would move away from him.

He is correct about this point. I do not believe in democracy. I believe in republicanism. As to the rest, I believe in freedom tempered by personal responsibility. The left believes in the imposition of its ideas using any means necessary, including murder. As to government the left believes in totalitarianism. It is the history of the left. And Howard fits in so well. As do ALL dimocrat elites.

No, we don’t believe in “Democracy”, because we have studied history and political thought going back more than two millennia which consistently demonstrates that said democracy inevitably leads to chaos and tyranny. A republic or a constitutional monarchy cum Parliament are the two forms of government that in human experience allow for individuals, including or especially those of minority beliefs, to thrive in freedom and safety. And unless a people is fortunate enough to have a tradition of the monarch being there to serve the needs of the people, rather than the reverse, the second system is almost as bad as a democracy. Show me a country that inserts the word “Democratic” into its name and I’ll show you a totalitarian cesspit.

Democrats are what the accuse others of being that facts can’t be changed no matter how hard the wish.
