Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

On Al Sharpton’s MSNBC show this morning, Jason Johnson depicted the Trump administration as engaging in “the continuing march forward of an attempted authoritarian regime.” He accused the administration of seeking “the bit-by-bit destruction of democracy.”

Johnson is a professor at Morgan State University, a prominent HBCU, and is political editor of The Root, an African-American oriented online publication owned by Univision.

Democracy equals government control in the minds of these Leftists. And in fact, this nation was not established as a democracy but should have remained a republic. The Founders feared the mob rule of democracy, and they were right.

Funny how these pinheads never objected to Obama legislating by decree, weaponizing government agencies, being non-transparent and harassing journalists and whistleblowers.

I guess all that is OK as long as it is a Dem doing it.

Since when do people whose agenda is constantly voted down care about “democracy”?

The twit probably thinks Venezuela’s recent elections are up front and honest and the new government an “enlightened” rule.

He’s a moron and should be fired immediately not even understanding the basic concepts of what he’s discussing.

It’s fine to speak out and say Trump’s policies hurt black people (he’s wrong there too) but that’s at least a defensible statement of passion and not idiocy.

I spent years on the Morgan campus and was close with some great professorial staff - 50 years ago. Today the red menace has engulfed the school in a paroxysm of ignorance and intolerance. The attack by this half wit demonstrates the racism and abject stupidity that engulfs much of academia. Trump is returning this country to its roots as a republic, not a democracy. The cry “anti-democratic” is raised in every age by tyrants bent on authority by decree, not law. “Democracy” is the cry of the Marxist and the end of freedom.

But the left wants to disarm people and shut down free speech. Keeping up with their insanity would be like trying to keep up with Britney and Lindsay on a night on the town back in the good ole 2000s.

I’ll go along with that!

Trump needs to move our Constitutional government AWAY from the myth of democracy that our democrat socialist party has been moving us toward.

Our country has never been a democracy at the federal level. We are a REPUBLIC you nitwits. Democracy -> government rule -> loss of individual rights -> fascism/dictatorship.

Our founders knew that a democracy would never last nor provide representation and government by the people. Unfortunately the ignorance of the masses have allowed democrats to destroy our representative republic and our “representatives no longer represent US.

This disordered, racist imbecile has no business being a professor, since he doesn’t even know what type of political system this nation is.

Morgan State University (commonly referred to as MSU, Morgan State, or Morgan) is a historically black college (HBCU) in Baltimore, Maryland, United States. Morgan is Maryland’s designated public urban university and the largest HBCU in Maryland.

Dr. Jason Johnson is a political science instructor that has made a living taking shots, in his mind, at conservative values.

He is a political hack that uses the media to promote an ultra liberal agenda with appearances on Sirius radio and Minnesota public radio and has been quoted by the NY Times all the way to Al Jazeera. He has been called a contributor to MSNBC and has delved into foreign elections in many third world countries.

His work is not to be trusted or anything he says.

He means destruction of the fascist progressives who would deny us free speech and free expression by declaring that their free speech and expression is more important than others.

These are the types of people who when they find themselves in power take the path of Venezuela.
