The Betrayal Of Democracy
Reality | 12/10/2020 | blueunicorn6

Posted on 12/10/2020 9:17:52 AM PST by blueunicorn6

The citizens of The United States fought a Revolutionary War to give themselves the responsibility of choosing their own leaders.

It is a responsibility.

Too many Americans think that electing a President is just a game that is played every four years.

This kind of thinking is a great disservice to the men who spent years discussing, investigating and thinking about how a country should be.

Voting isn’t just about flipping a coin to decide who our chief executive will be.

Voting is a rigorous means of improving our citizens. Voting is a rigorous way to improve everything about our country.

The Founders understood that people will look out for their best interests. There is nothing inherently wrong with that.

A citizen of The United States is expected to vote for the person who will serve their best self interest.

But voting doesn’t just stop there.

The citizen is expected to investigate the candidates to determine which candidate will best serve their self interest. The citizen is expected to research and discuss and use deductive and inductive reasoning and think.

Research....discussion.....reasoning.....comparison.....examining experience.....

Are these not qualities that are beneficial in all areas of life?

Voting, as was meant to be done, produces alert and intelligent citizens.

Isn’t that what we want?

Cheating produces stupidity and laziness.

Cheating makes it useless to analyze candidates.

Cheating makes it useless for candidates to prepare themselves to be President.

A candidate merely needs to agree with the cheaters. And the cheaters are cheating so they can cheat our laws and morality.

The voters become apathetic. They no longer need to research and analyze and reason.

This freedom to grow as a human being has been taken away by the cheaters.

The person who manipulates the computers or prints the most phony ballots will determine who our President is.

All aspects of our society will suffer and deteriorate.

Fair voting is essential for the improvement of our citizens and the survival of our society.

Nobody can find a point that doesn’t exist.

Type some more.

Your writing is entertaining.

I understand that you don't know America's form of government.

You keep your hands to yourself, pervert.

How typical. You convert lending someone a helping hand into a perversion.

Once again, you can't argue my point so you revert to childish antics.
You're going to have to come up with a new gimmick.
That one is getting old quickly.

There’s no way I can argue your point.

You haven’t made one.

I wouldn’t argue your point even if you made one. That’s your job.

I find your posts to be very entertaining.

Keep going!

You were going to lend me a helping hand?

How sweet of you.

Send me money instead.

So by cheating Dems are just making sure that nobody else wants to live in a country with them. When they were sneaky about it, we could ignore it like you might ignore the banker in Monopoly always finding that extra hundred bucks to pay the rent when he lands on your hotel, but now that they screwed up and made it obvious, nobody is ever going to want to play with them again.

True - and the focus for conservatives now needs to be on the total delegitimizing of Biden/Harris and the DC cabal. If Trump manages to pull a rabbit out of his hat, great - but either way we have to subject our domestic enemies to all the scorn and ridicule they deserve - GOPe included.

I'm not asking you to argue my point, I'm asking you to argue YOUR point. You know...make a convincing argument for your view.
You haven’t made one.

The title of your thread is "The Betrayal Of Democracy".

In refutation of your assertion I made the point in reply 17 that America is a Constitutional Republic.

You've never contested my point and you've never defended your point. All you've done is play a game of deflection and misdirection.

I wouldn’t argue your point even if you made one. That’s your job.
I have argued my point. You just don't like my argument because it proves you wrong.

I find your posts to be very entertaining.
I find your posts comical so we're even.

Keep going!

Right there with you, man.
You keep me laughing with your comedy skit and I'll keep you entertained with truth.

America is a Constitutional Republic and not a Democracy.
Even Nancy Pelosi, liar that she is, is smarter than you when it's convenient! Laugh at that entertaining point I made!

Are you selling yourself?
You a cam girl?

I think I hold the record now on Free Republic for being called "fool".

When you make one of yourself what do you expect to happen?

I know you’re a pervert, but what’s a “cam girl”?

A girl in an engine?

It’s taking you longer and longer to reply.

You've asserted I'm a pervert. You haven't proven it.
Big difference.
As far as "what’s a “cam girl”?" Surely even you can use a search engine and find out for yourself what that is.
(you keep asking for others to hold your hand and walk you through the world. you're the actual pervert.)

You, on the other hand, have solicited money from others.
You've convicted yourself from your own lips.

It’s taking you longer and longer to reply.

The same could be said of you.
Me, I'm reading other threads so my response time is slow.

You’re making the assumption that I believe and wrote that democracy and a republic are the same.

You know what they say about assuming, Phil.

Yep. You made an ass of yourself.

I never wrote that democracy and a republic are the same.

You’re a sad person, Phil.

That’s being self-effacing, Phil.

Look it up.
