Democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding what’s for dinner.

It’s amazing that what they taught me in High School Civics, is now treated as crazy. Up is down and down is up.

The lying Left.

We have been, are, and will always be a REPUBLIC.

America was founded as a Free Constitutional Republic and my prayer is for restoration of our Free Constitutional Republic.

Agreed, even when [attempting] to explain the difference.

Yes, we are okay with the truth. It’s a Representative Republic. A Democracy is three wolves & a sheep deciding what’s for dinner. Great for the wolves, not so much for the sheep.

What do you get for pretending the danger’s not real
Meek and obedient you follow the leader
Down well trodden corridors into the valley of steel

What a surprise
The look of terminal shock in your eyes
Now things are really what they seem
No, this is no bad dream

Article IV, section 4: “a republican form of government”. Nope, not democracy.

Yup. 99% of the people breathlessly gushing over the golden abstraction "Democracy" have not a clue what they're talking about. "Our Democracy" is particularly telling.

And they think they are so smart and ethical in their stupidity.

Poor gals getting ambushed by this ass.

A Republic sets a framework of rules, defines how government works and what sort of rights the people have. A Republic is a rule of law with the basic law being the Constitution today.

A pure democracy is horrible because it degenerates into mob rule without any respect to anyone or anything really.

***Democracy is a beautiful thing WITHIN the confines/boundaries of a Republic.***

A constitutional republic is a well-armed sheep contesting the results.
