Very few Americans understand our form of Government. All too often citizens think majority rules or that we live in a democracy. Some advocate no Government at all. But our Founding Fathers had something a little different in mind. Choosing to avoid the entrapments inherent in Monarchy's and Dictatorships, while protecting State's rights, they settled on a Republic.
I have given my version of this in a Toastmaster Club and even gotten a few libs to agree with me.

Saved in my favs for later use. It will become part of my arsenal.

I have used this clip for a long time now and it is excellent. It clarifies the power of government, and defies the leftist claim that NAZI is on the extreme right, but instead on the left. Government power diametrically opposed to personal liberty, and further left is more and more power of government, where there is totalitarianism, communism, and socialism, including Nazism. To the Right is less and less power, ultimately to the extreme which is no power, Anarchy.
Also, we are a REPUBLIC. The word Democracy doesn’t even exist in our Constitution. (according to the clip)
