"In fact I think you are a democrat by thinking a democracy is a good thing.."

I never said PURE democracy is a good thing. George Washington said it best when he said PURE democracy is the worst form of Tyranny (although, he never lived to witness something even worse...COMMUNISM).

We are a democratic republic. The republican aspect of the constitution was designed to protect us from democracy, whereas the democratic part of the constitution was designed to respect the wishes of the people. Unfortunately, as you have maintained, we have changed the Constitution such that it has tilted this balance in favor of pure democracy (for instance, originally only property owners could vote...this has changed so that landless special interests are able to vote themselves special privileges). In other words, we have lost the balance the founding fathers built into the Constitution. But nowhere in the American Constitution is pure monarchy advocated, or even hinted at.
