The worst thing representative Republicans EVER did was allow communist "our Democracy"

They are going to hammer us with this "our democracy" crap in the continuing mis-education of the public school initiated DIS-education.

I remember "vocabulary words" in elementary and Junior High and they were all English and grammatically/etymologically correct.

There is no such thing as "our democracy", just like there is no such thing as our truth or my truth.

[knarf]

We had BETTER start (or for some of us, continue), to show up at public school meetings and voice our awareness of their insidious practice.

Every talk show host or newscaster/interviewer should grow a pair and stop every commie dem from continuing to single out "our democracy".

Democracy is a stand alone word.

[Leep]

Stupid Fox Noos has used the phrase, our democracy, probably since it’s inception.

The Pubbie Party was started by collectivists back in 1854. Our two-party system is just two sides of the same collectivist coin. The best thing to do with both is to walk away from them.

I look at the Dems like a domineering woman who is married to ah weak, spineless Pubbie man.

I don’t know why you blame it on Republicans. I’d blame it on Democrats.

Mr. Black, what do you think of democracy?

It sucks every cotton-picking day long.

[Brian Griffin]

There needs to be limits on governmental power, such as property and income tax caps.

How about these clowns recite The Pledgeof Allegiance to our Flag, and they might get a clue. Better yet, the politicians could read the document they swore an oath to uphold and defend? Even those in The Stupid Party talk about “our democracy.”

[brownsfan]

Republicans exist to screw things up and allow Dem control. That’s one reason, among many, that I’m so nervous about November.

[knarf]

We usually don't speak out about things that are sort of esoteric because we apparently consider them not worth our time or trouble . . . . . (after all, 10/15 years ago, we'd be laughed at because the phrase was used maybe twice a month . . . back then)

Incrementalism has been the long game of the democrat socialists and they have accomplished quite a bit because of our collective silence.

[knarf]

EVERY time I say the Pledge of Allegiance to The Flag, I shout loudly, the word REPUBLIC.

It's one of MY efforts to educate people,

[Brilliant]

Maybe Republicans are silent where you live. Not where I am. Unfortunately you can say whatever you want, but so can they.

J. Edgar tried to tell people, but they wouldn’t listen.

Next part of conversation:
Any better system?
Nope. They all suck, but democracy sucks less.

[knarf]

I live in Trump Country, SW Pa., and Pennsylvania seems to be trending red.

IMO, the problem is functionally illiterate Americans . . . . public school indoctrinated and never questioning anything.

There needs to be limits on governmental power, such as property and income tax caps.

Property tax and income tax are theft. Theft of labor, theft of property.

[SaxxonWoods]

“Our Democracy” is an exclusionary attempt to stop free speech. It is a denial of our Constitutional Republic. It is a shield for what used to be called “creeping socialism”.

[knarf]

100% agreed.

[knarf]

Democracy over representative Republicanism?

Democracy is a religion, but to be democratic is to be fair.

[Disambiguator]

RE property taxes are effectively wealth taxes. People are so conditioned to them, but there was a time when they didn’t exist. I know people in California that were forced out of their homes in pre-Prop 13 times because rising values caused their property taxes to massively increase.

[SaxxonWoods]

Thanks. This is also why the Constitution refers to our “sovereign states” which are members of the republic. There is no reason for state govts to exist if a country is a democracy.
