To: Big Bureaucracy

Having a Republican form of gov’t isn’t merely a conservative platform. Look at the Founder’s comments and you will see an overt fear of ‘the tryanny of the majority’.

THIS is why progressives have worked so hard to interchange the meanings of these words: democracy and republic.

I cringe everytime I hear America referred to as a democracy. We are a REPUBLIC and for good reason.

Indeed, that Congress has already acted and catered to the idea that they are a democratic body is a large part of our current problem. Why bother respecting the Constitution if you can just get 51% of the vote?
