One other thing, I'm not some whacko conspritist, but I do have eyes and ears and see that our leaders are turning this wonderful and unique human contract into a mob rule democracy from a representative Republic...soley for the benefit of their own incumbency...which the Founding Fathers neither envisioned nor sactioned.

Wow...you see all that? I had an uncle that saw stuff like that once to. He was harmless though.

America has been degenerating from a constitutional republic into a democracy for a hundred years, at least, though it wasn't the norm to refer to America as a "democracy" until the regime of Uncle Joe Stalin's good buddy FDR. In a democracy, politicians are by definition demagogues and will sacrifice the long-term interests of the nation for short-term political gain. You are correct, the framers of the U.S. Constitution repeatedly warned against "democracy."
